I Love These Cats so Much, I Still think That PAC DIV & the homies Thurz & Y.O."U.N.I." should form A Supergroup for An EP / ALBUM =) hahahaha.
For Real. Cats like this should be what we hear on the Radio 24/7 instead of the ishness we are subjected to, Now Im realistic so I am well Aware that we arent going to hear FLYING LOTUS, DE LA SOUL, M.O.P. J DILLA, ETC on the MAIN FM RADIO STATIONS, but cats like PAC DIV, U-N-I remind me of Souls Of Mischief meets The Clipse......

WORDS from the HERO by: (Dutch VonEpp Ziegler, Dutchmassive)
Ima be strait up Honest right about now. I feel like the Soulful Super Sleepy Emcee Beatsmith that no one even saw on the side lines when they was choosing the teams for Kickball. hahaha
Nah Serious ishness, I love these cats..... Afta1, Devon, MaR, sOTU, FullCrate, Lotus, Etc...... Its dope to see em all in the same lovely mix. so peace to A.J.B. & Gas,D ...... It's really time for me to stop holding on to all this music and release it just for Music sake, instead of holding on to beats and rhymes from 2003 and on because of bad label moves........ For anyone who needs A hug or A smile, Click on the picture Below.....
Believe it or not, underground music broke the Top 10 today on iTunes, surpassing albums from Madonna and Pitbull to make it in at number 9. This afternoon Mayer Hawthorne got bumped down a couple of slots, but A Strange Arrangement is officially a Top 10 Album. If we can break the top 10 on iTunes, anything should be possible!
To celebrate, Stones Throw has leaked Astronote’s second remix of Mayer Hawthorne’s first single, “Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out”. Grab it after the cut and while you’re at it, let’s help get Mayer Hawthorne back in the Top 10!
1st, I want to say Peace & Thank you to Martin aka DJ Graffiti& Stephanie Estes from A-side Worldwide for always putting so much sincere Love, effort, work and Dedication into their Artists / Family. Buff1, 14kt, Now On / HairCut (M. Hawthorne) / AML are not only great Musicians, but Amazing People and to see the Music they create which I love and Support so much being so Universally Accepted and Embraced is A true Blessing. I was so Excited to receive word that Haircut (Mayer Hawthorne) has Reached TOP 10 STATUS ahead of Madonna and Pitbull and I would love nothing more than continued Success and A Flux of Great Music. Cus These cats would never let Numbers go to their Heads. The more people hearing Amazing Music, The Better!
Last but not Least I want to Thank my man KEVIN NOTTINGHAM for being the 1st site I always check after I check my Gmail Account when I 1st sign on the Internet, So after reading the Email from Martin, I saw that KEV did all the Heavy Lifting on the MAYER HAWTHORNE post, So I just Copy and Pasted his, So GO CHECK THE DOPEST SITE!!!!!!! (after you go support MAYER HAWTHORNE)
Buff1 & 14KT Join Mayer Hawthorne’s Lonely Hearts Club Tour
Buff1 & 14KT join Mayer Hawthorne & The County on a 25 city North American Tour this September/October.
- Accomplished emcee Buff1, accompanied by veteran producer 14KT on the turntables, will join Mayer Hawthorne and The County on the Lonely Hearts Club Tour this Fall. Having worked together for years as members of the Ann Arbor supergroup, Athletic Mic League, Buff1, 14KT and Mayer Hawthorne (aka DJ Haircut) have built a brotherly chemistry that’s unmistakable whether at the crib, in the studio or on stage. Every group intends for its members individual solo careers to lead to increased opportunities for the whole team, but only a chosen few truly make it happen. Expect Buff1 and 14KT’s explosive performance on this 25 city tour to be the perfect compliment to Mayer Hawthorne’s silky soul.

WORDS FROM THE HERO
Before you continue Reading, I sincerely ask that you visit this link below
---------> ( Lust for Life full track ) <--------------
In the TOP RIGHT CORNER you will see the Audio Player. Please click on the Play button and listen to the track all the way thru. Im going to be as Personal and sincere w/ this request and this post more than ever at the risk of coming off soft or however. But that song "Lust for Life" has been one of the most important songs to ever come into my life. Im going to likely commit Career and website/music suicide by sharing what I am about to share, but if you remember me from 1995 - 2005 then you'd know me pouring my heart out in person, on song, the radio, phone, Instant message, message board , and now these days blogs and myspace. IS something that I need to do to be me......
WORDS FROM THE HERO CONTINUED....
You see, I dated A girl since the age 17 until 26, Basically my entire music career, almost... She was w/ me thru the grind, the passion, she knew how sincere hardworking, outgoing, loyal and excited I was. I messed up and let her go for new horizons, ended up realizing the mistake, got back w/ her, then she left me.....hahahah which honestly worked out for the best, cus we were best of friends it just seemed the passion had faded...... The next 6 months, I dated many girls who all tried to "spend the night" the same night I met them, well as Cool as people seem to think that is, Im not down w/ the easy sleasy, so I always kicked em out, and went on w/ my life...... Long story short, I met A Woman who blew me away - she was everything I was looking for outgoing, smart, beautiful, sincere, strong, the works...... She introduced me into a new world of Soulful house, and was the greatest thing in my eyes...... only flaw was .......she had a bad past w/ dudes who did her wrong, So she couldnt handle me having contact w/ my Ex whom was my best friend, that leaded to a bunch of uneasy mistrust issues which I was never used to, because well...... I always had someone who knew how I was, outgoing, excited, sincere, but I never strayed and was always loyal...She also met me late in the game, after years of makin and releasing music, and unfortunately she got the part of my life where I wasnt able to find Steady work at all, and Music well, I still made music, just not any money from it hahahahaa..... Long story short...... She always was worried I wasnt true to her, and that I was using her and didnt love her..... and with no warning..... she ended up leaving me for another cat...... which Im cool w/ cus, if she found happiness w/ someone thats all Im worried about. but what I cant fathom is how someone can be with you and question your love, and no matter how much you tell them how deep and sincere it is, the words just dont seep in....... So here we are Exactly 1 year later....Im doing my thing, Happy as heck to be free of someone who didnt trust or have faith in me, but I never have been able to just turn off that switch that allows me to not love her with all my heart, I constantly miss her, and not in some perverted selfish way, I really miss my friend...... We went from Soulmates, to Im sorry but Im dating a new man, and He obviously is as insecure as I was/am, Cus im not aloud to continue speaking to you Ever again........
hahahahah, You ask what the hell am I talking about my Ex's for?.... Well because, Vikter Duplaix is my favorite music period....and I love it so much, and It wounds my soul listening to music I love now....... That ish just sucks...... hahahahah
All in All, this isnt A Sad story..... Im happy as can be and doing great...... I just never had the luxury of turning off how real and deep my feelings were/are for someone....
When someones music, EXAMPLE being VIKTER DUPLAIX can make you so Inspired and Float on cloud 9 and at the same time bring you to tears each time...... You gotta Support an Artist of that magnitude.... I just did, As I always do and always will...
MY 1st, and so far only Deep house song was made for and inspired by my Ex and that dag song is named after her and now its coming out on Vinyl as my new single hahahaha...

Bold & Beautiful Review by Lisa Stanton for honeysoul.com
Ladies… this is THE CD of 2006.
Fellas… this is THE CD of 2006.
FOR MY BROTHAS: You can stop with all your mack moves right now. You won’t need them! ‘Bold and Beautiful’ is a guaranteed mood inhibitor. Intoxicating melodies. Sensual lyrics. Vikter Duplaix has done all the work for you! Just pop in the CD and let that brotha work, while you yield the benefits *wink*. I recommend you speed directly to “For Life”. From the very first note, the ladies will have no choice but to … well, just pop it in and see.
SISTAH SISTAH: Vikter Duplaix says he want’s to stay in it (”In The Middle Of You”) and while he undoubtedly means something entirely different, I promise, your CD player is where he will forever be. ‘Bold & Beautiful‘ will be the CD that has to be replaced several times over as it will virtually burn itself up. The brotha is foine and from the sounds of it, knows what the ladies desire. But don’t take my word for it… listen to his breathy way of letting you know exactly what’s on his mind.
There simply is ‘Nothing Like’ this CD. Until now ~ Not on the shelves in your favorite music store. Not on the dat of your favorite radio station. Where it will be though, from the very first time you listen, is in your CD player (and when it’s not, it will be in the ‘Temple of {your} Thoughts’. Played over and over again, drawing on your mental and physical senses. Bold & Beautiful by Vikter Duplaix Listen and love… Lisa Stanton’s review was quoted on vikterduplaix.com
Bold & Beautiful is available at local retailers and online at Amazon, iTunes, and BBE.

Peace World, 1st I would like to say sorry for the delay in posts the past few weeks. I have actually had this post parked in Draft-mode for a week and just have not had the proper time to dedicate to the internet. Usually I wouldnt even mention that and just post when I post but the reason for my brief hiatus and this post have A Common Factor. "The DrumLove" hahaha.
1'st A little scatterbrained back story if I may, (yes you may: says my imaginary responsive reader board of directives) Those who know of me or this website based on my music as "Dutchmassive" would or rather should know that I got into the emcee / producer game while I was in the Marching band Drumline. What you may not know is a few years back A Local (Tampa Bay) Producer / DJ / Graphic Artist / Computer Genius by the name of Ran Knaff(professionally known as RANMECCA) held of few producer based showcases named "DRUMLOVE"
Being A Tampa Artist, I was asked to perform at one of these showcases and by doing so I put together A 34 minute Beat Set which showcased my production ranging from 2000-2007 - Had some random old joints, stuff from my still Unreleased "Music 2 Sleep To" project and a few others..... So nearly 9 months later I put together A Instrumental Mini Project for the website / Radioshow "BTS RADIO" which was Andew Meza's show.... which featured my man Samiyam, and a grip of other producers who has since gained alot of momentum - Flying Lotus Eric Lau, Ras G, pretty much the Brain Feeder Collective. Anywho, I sent the project to Andew and he turned it down and didnt want it for BTS, so I sent it out to a select few people and it ended up on Every Blog and website, The 1st to feature it was my man Frank fom RAPPERSIKNOW.COM the same Day it was on FORMATMAG.COM and then it just took off from there, DJ's were playing it during there live sets, Radio shows etc........
A few months ago, RANMECCA hit me up because of an program/App he was creating for the I-phone - The DRUMLOVE APP. which I beleive will be launched very sooon. So In the Spirit of Audio productions transition from huge machines to now becoming staples of society on cellphones and video game consoles, I put together A Small post of A few cool apps/programs....... (IF YOU KNOW OF ANY OTHER ONES, LEAVE A COMMENT OR SHOOT ME A MESSAGE AND I WILL UPDATE THIS POST) which brings us to the reason I havent been on keeping up with the HSH or internet as a whole for that Matter.
I'm putting the final Touches on my Next INSTRUMENTAL INSTALLMENT / BEAT JOURNEY / DRUMLOVE PART II.
So until then, Enjoy the 1st Installment, I want to give a shout to my mans N them, RAN, Mishoo, Intact!
