WORDS FROM THE HERO

I MET SAM back in 2004/2005 on the wonderful world of MYSPACE =) [What happened to myspace?!?!?!] and Tho 2004 doesn't seem like long ago, More has changed in the way of Music in the last 5 years than it has from 1990 -2000 - Obviously that huge changed was created by Myspace [THE DOUBLE EDGE SWORD] and by MYSPACE I just mean Online Social Networking. Add that and the passing of James Yancey (Jay Dilla Dee) and it led to A huge Explosion in the way music / beats / hip-Hop production has shifted.... In fact I don't even know what to call Beats anymore....Do you?.. HipHop? Electronic? Dub-Step,Warpy, WAng-fu who knows..... Good Music is Good Music to me, and Music + Percussion (Minus) Words = BEATS to me at least.......

Dutchmassive - "Kill em in 8 bit" - Produced by SAMIYAM by dutchmassive

Well SAMIYAM is A BEAST! It's crazy when you think about forks in the road and choices and how much the choices we do or don't make impact the entire earth..... and if you think that is bull-ish, Let me give you an Example: When I met Samiyam it was VIA myspace, I had just released by Solo album "JunkPlanet" years after it was finished so it was a proper representation of the music I was making at that time. I soon after released "Project: REACH" which was A Proper release for the time... Sam and I shared similar interests and I was working on my new album "The NEXT Final Fantasy" and ended up with 6 beats fro this genius beatsmith, and 3 others just to use for mixtapes..... (1 - of those 3 mixtape beats ended up on my Rawkus Release "Crush Your System" and the other 2 were lost in the great HARDRIVE CRASH OF 2006) Sam came down to Florida to look at School's and Athena (my Ex) and I met up with him in his Hotel in orlando....There we spoke about things while engaging in some fine herbal delites and he told me about this cat FLYING LOTUS he was creating music with back and forth from LA....He had his Laptop and I believe the Boss 303 / Don't quote me on that (sam correct me if i'm wrong) and played me A grip of NES Sampled beats and said he doubt he would end up going to school down here, but he wanted to show his parents he was up for ideas....I learned A few things about Sam that evening (1: He hates Rappers) and (2:He isn't fond of his older production i.e. the beats I have from him) now I like to think I have a golden ear and I think the production I have from Sam is the dopest to date.....I have held off on releasing my new albums for alot of reasons, but by summer 2o11 ALL WILL BE RELEASED..... I Actually have A joint I was going to use for Crush Your System titled "Shuffle Step" (feat. Buff1 & Finale) but are going to use it for another project.... In Fact All the joints will be released very soon..... Probably the next to surfice will be "BLOWED" which will be DISTANT STARR (STARRSKREAM) & myself - produced by SAMIYAM.... But back on those Forks in the road.....Imagine if Sam would have moved to Orlando, Florida and went to school instead of moving out west and making moves.......Think of all the traveling and touring he has done, all the lives he has touched all the musicians he has inspired............ I'm really proud of Sam and I hope everyone who reads this heads over to his myspace and purchases his project "MAN VS MACHINE" and anything else duke drops!!!! now enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!

Samiyam compiled this mix of new and old original beats for a Hyperdub showcase on BBC´s Mary Anne Hobbs a few months back. you might recognize some of the tunes but there should be a few cuts you haven´t heard. Also, towards the end of the mix you get a nice piece of Zomby´s BBC mix.

Short description: In a dark room, a very particular tea ceremony describing the
relation beetween 2 lovers is about to take place.

Welcome back my Ninja's. Its been a short Hiatus since my last post so I knew for my return post I had to comeback with a BANG! I apoligize for the lack of updates the past few weeks. Ive had to focus my energies into starting my new label and researching Marketing strategies as well as creating new music and working on Cameos. I also Just resentlu purchase A Macbook and As a long time PC user it has taken alot of my time trying to learn and master all of the perks of being a MAC owner. but fear not I shall return full force by the end of the week and be on the look out for A Master Intergraded Format, tieing in All that I am involved in.

This Video I have posted is None other than Super Producer "Flying Lotus" 1 half of the Producer Duo FlyamSam with Samiyam, On the vocals we have Ahu and on the Director Tip and art Direction we have the almighty LCP-United crew who is without a doubt one of my favorite design teams. if you are a Avid Hobbyshop Reader you might Remember my Article on QUES aka Illlord. This will not be the last you see me post on this Camp..... If Karma really does exist and you get what you put in, then hopefully in the near future there will be a new Dutchmassive Video done by this team!!!!!

Untill next Time... Your Local Hobbyshop HERO, Dutchmassive
