Hot Traxxx / SAN presents GOLDEN CHARIOTS VOL 2 (a remix tape)

« on: September 01, 2010, 01:07:07 PM »

Peace!

i was recently approached to participate in a remix competition on BEATBOXRADIOSHOW.BLOGSPOT.COM, a huge boost really...the brief was to put together an album type of presentation this time round and not just a series of random remixes as in other competitions...in other words, the chosen songs for remix had to gel into each other in terms of general emcee concept...that being the case, and seeing that the competition is in itself only going to be concluded in september of this year (2010) i decided to take the oppourtunity in the interim to use some of the songs i have remixed for the competition and a couple others to expand my production portfolio and tie up the HEADS that follow my music over as they wait for other albums from myself or the AUDIBLE BRAILE ENTERTAINEMNT team...how i did that was in the form of an album i call GOLDEN CHARIOTS VOL 2 (a remix tape).

It all began with “Golden Chariots VOL 1”, a beat tape I compiled and released towards the end of 2007. After receiving countless positive reviews from fellow beat makers, producers, heads and music lovers across the world, I decided to run with the idea of turning the GOLDEN CHARIOTS project into a four part producer series which would see me release successive volumes after every three years.

“Golden Chariots VOL 2” is a remix project and is the second instalment in the four part producer series. With this offering my focus was much more on trying to understand the multiple dimensions of production and not just the beat making aspect of music creation. In more ways than one, the project is designed to put on display one producer’s rich versatility as well as uniqueness and growth in beat design. Moreover, VOL 2, being a remix project also humbly serves to give the listener a FRESHER take on their favourite songs 
 
Below is the official cover art for “Golden Chariots VOL 2 (a remix tape)”.

GOLDEN CHARIOTS VOL 2 (a remix tape) drops on the 4th of SEPTEMBER 2010 under AUDIBLE BRAILE ENTERTAINMENT.........waTCH!!!

Hot Traxxx / SAN presents MUSIC FOR DOCUMENTARIES (a soundtrack)

« on: August 01, 2010, 01:29:51 AM »

Peace!

i feel like everytime i step on this portal to share with its members part of my work(s) i have to continuously re-introduce myself...im not mad at it, what with the flow of information being such a swift thing in today's world, its not unimaginable that if you neglect to touch base with people from time to time, they tend to forget what kind of an a** WHOPPIN they can get from a PRODUCER of my upstandind calibur...LOL!, they start flooding the LINE with WACK shit and say ignorant things like "i make beats too"!!!.... ...aight, f*** ALL THE BULLSHIT...lets get to IT...!

my name is SAN, the INSTRU-MONUMENTALIST...

“Music for documentaries” is an album inspired by a soundtrack compilation I recently did for a series of documentaries shot and produced by Brain Matter Media. The most recent documentary was on the subject of human rights and was shot and produced by Ms Sihle Hlophe of Brain Matter Media. The documentary entitled “It’s Official” was aired on South Africa’s premium television channel; SABC 1 in the month of March 2010 and is available for purchase through the South African Broadcasting Corporation (SABC).

Music for documentaries is therefore in essence a compilation of the songs I did for a handful of documentaries as well as various radio and television advertisements. Moreover, it also brings together a handful of some other never before heard joints I recently produced.

I would like to pa** my sincerest gratitude to the Audible Braile Entertainment team and the artists that helped me complete the album, namely: The Keyman Anonymous, Trained Monkeys, Kislev, Kat-Law and Ess Ar" (c) SAN.

BELOW IS the OFFICIAL album cover art, front and back respectively:

KAT-LAW is a very gifted writer/lyricist who hails from the Kingdom of Lesotho. Son to Legendary Jazz Musician TSHEPO TSHOLA of the SANKOMOTA fame it wasnt too much of suprise that KAT decided to follow in the Labby's footsteps and pick up the MIC device...

LETS ROCK by KAT-LAW produced by SAN, the Instru-Monumentalist

« on: June 01, 2010, 09:27:34 AM »

Hot Traxxx / THE ESSENCE......!

« on: May 01, 2010, 12:51:35 AM »

Peace!

My name is SAN, the INSTRU-MONUMENTALIST....i have recently had the pleasure of stepping in the LAB with a very gifted PRODUCER by the name of PHIL aka THE KRITIK . him and i are currently working on a record we are calling CLa**IC DIRT, a very interesting take on how all other producers are WACK in our eyes and how BETTER than THEM WE ARE  ...the album in itself is a fusion of two styles of beat making that give an accompanyiing voice to a handful of emcees we have on it to tell that very story.... 

anyhow, we still in the lab...while you wait for that we thought WHY NOT GIVE EM SUMIN to CHEW ON....so like we do right about this TIME....FEEL THIS:



THE ESSENCE is a minitape THE KRITIK and I will be DROPPING EARLY NEXT week under AUDIBLE BRAILE ENTERTAINMENT and RIOT MUSIC...it is designed to tie you over as we go HARD to drop CLa**IC DIRT in TIME...!



yes, we REMIXED some songs...only because we wanted to show you what to look forward to when you hear CLa**IC DIRT, a SOLID taste of how our music is easily in the same league as your favourite producer on Scratch Magazine  ....

on the actual LP (CLa**IC DIRT) we have been privellaged enough to have been able to enlist the lyrical prowess of emcees from SWEDEN, U.S.A, AUSTRALIA & ZAMBIA...its a MONSTER 




THE ESSENCE ...............drops EARLY NEXT WEEK.....!

Hot Traxxx / OPTIC NERVE, of SUPREMACY........!

« on: January 09, 2010, 09:38:37 AM »

PEACE!

OPTIC NERVE is a GRAHAMSTOWN EMCEE and one half of the SUPER HIPHOP group "SUPREMACY' with his brother in RHYME; EPIC...currently they are both working solo offerings that are scheduled to drop in 2010. Epic is to Release "cinematography" and Optic Nerve is to release "the master plan"...both artists are signed to TRUE SIGHT MUSIC and the stable handles recording, representation and distribution...


keep your eyes FOCUSED on the two cats, really making MOVES in the game, creeping on the COMEUP...in my opinion, THEY GOT NEXT....   


Optic Nerve's album "the masterplan" is to feature production from the likes of SAN, the instru-monumentalist, CYMTOM, of SeamRock Music, TRAINED MONKEYS, ALIAS, and a handful of other REPUTABLE underground PRODUCERS...

but the CROWNING achievement for the young emcee is a COLLABORATION on his album with N.Y.C EMCEE LITTLE VIC of ORENA RECORDS that has done work with the likes of MARCO POLO, DJ PREMIER, KOOL G RAP, THE HITFARMES, DJ JOHNJOHN, VELOTZ, cRITICAL MADNESS, MUNESHINE....mayn the list goes on...

the COLLABORATION will not only guarantee that OPTIC NERVE'S work is to be shared with an international audience, but it also gives him the privilege of working with an artist whose own stellar work will ensure the efficient growth of the young up and coming emcee's career...

heres a little sumin sumin from the big homey O-NERVE performing two joints that have made him a FAVOURITE in the EASTERN CAPE underground SCENE "peace to the fam" & "two way communication"







keep your EYES OPEN for the KID, hes got JEWELS                          ........RESPECT!

Producers - Discussion / BEAT MAKERS (a documentary on the trials and tribulations of BEATMAKERS)

« on: January 04, 2010, 04:42:18 PM »

just thought maybe youd like to KNOW that YOU ARE NOT ALONE  :

"BeatMakers a 90 minute independent documentary, charts the never ending hustle of up and coming as well as seasoned producers. Filmed inside their in home studios, these hungry musicians aspire to obtain more equipment, sell their hot tracks, and, of course, make a name for themselves in the competitive music industry".

Producers - Discussion / ALBUMS to SAMPLE ............................or for your LISTENING PLEASURE!

« on: January 04, 2010, 03:18:54 PM »

so i thought it would be FRESH if we posted albums that PACK HEAT when it came to sampling potential...for all my producer friends this thread can sorta serve as a LIBRARY where u can come & scoop up some sure fire joints to SAMPLE and create that HEAT with...but the doors arent only open to producers....lovers of MUSIC in its various aspects are also welcome to chip in, critique and SHARE...but i have to be honest, the main reason for the THREAD is to provide albums worthy of SAMPLING to PRODUCERS...

so the nature of the thread will be to educate each other on the music shared here, give you a chance not only to scoop up the records to sample but to also LEARN about the ARTISTS who made them....aight, let me set it OFF:
