Gorillaz “Empire Ants” Image

theabraham@gmail.com — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 21:01:18 +0000

So sorry everyone, not much time to post recently. Too much going on! Anyway, today I couldn’t stop listening to this new song from The Gorillaz, so I created the image that popped into my head after listening to the song for a while. I focused on these verses:

And if the whole world is crashing down
Fall through space out of mind again
Where the emptiness we leave behind on warm air rising
Lose all the shadows far away

and where Yukimi Nagano of Little Dragon comes in:

Little memories, marching on
Your little feet, working the machine
Will it spin, will it sore
My little dream, working the machine

This is basically what I do with most music based projects, focus on several words, instruments, noises or verses and put down what I see in my Ape head. Anyway, enjoy the song and check out the full album, it’s dope! You should expect more SXSW posts in the coming days. Peace.

Objektiv One & Jabee - Valentine’s Day EP: The Remixes

theabraham@gmail.com — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:56:14 +0000

Gotta give it up to Dallas based producer/graphic artist Objektiv One for staying busy and staying hungry. This time around he teams up with Jabee for a set of love lost inspired tracks.

From Objektiv One and Jabee

The Valentine’s Day EP: The Remixes was conceived by Objektiv One and Jabee as a way to vent over lost loves on Valentine’s Day. Somewhat tongue in cheek, but in many ways true to heart and honest.

Dj Nick Nack - Dearly Departed Album Promo Video

Dearly Departed Promo from NickNack on Vimeo.

Damn! The homie Nick Nack mentioned to me that he was going to be putting out a new album soon…but damn! After a six year hiatus, the Austin based dj and producer returns with “Dearly Departed” a sound project dedicated to his departed sister. The Austin music icon will be releasing a series of 7″ records prior to the full album through his Crowd Control Records label, with the first arriving in time for SXSW. I’m sure there will be some available at the Gigacrate.com SXSW parties, which you should RSVP to immediately if you are even thinking of being in Austin for SXW.

Chop Steak Motel - The Day After Valentine’s 2010 Mix

Cupid’s arrow even hits my studio now and then, so I decided to bring y’all a little Valentine’s Day mix Chop style. It’s a few of my favorite hip hop songs, mostly album cuts, B-sides and mixtape tracks, on the subjects of love and sex. They’re sometimes sweet and sometimes ignorant, but always excellent. Hope y’all had a fantastic Valentine’s Day nd and even better trip to the clinic this morning. And remember, Chop still loves you.
