The Arsonists | The Session
Order the limited Orange 7” here:
http://www.getondown.com/album.php?id...
Available for the first time on limited edition orange 7" vinyl.
"The Session" catapulted The Arsonists to one of the pillars of the then new bubbling indy scene that was coming out of New York in the early to mid 90’s. With heavy play on the famed Stretch Armstrong show (hosted by Bobbito – who initially released the song on his legendary Fondle ‘Em Records) the song stood out showcasing the charismatic MC’s over an infectious jazzy bassline. Part Leaders of the New School, part Native Tongues , “The Session” was a special blend of originality that was lacking in the climate of Hip Hop at the time of its release.
For the B Side with “Halloween” The Arsonists take things conceptually pointing out the many “masks” people wear stating that “every day’s like Halloween/nothing’s what it seems” over an equally powerful piano laced beat. The single overall was a breath of fresh air and gave Hip Hop fans a taste of what was lacking – and an idea of great things to come from The Arsonists.

French Montana on the Importance of DJs in Breaking Records
Most interviews with rappers consist of standard questions about their career and personal life. However, during a recent meeting with French Montana, we asked the man behind the hits "Ain't Worried About Nothin'" and "Pop That" about the role of DJs in breaking records. Aside from praising legends such as Funkmaster Flex and DJ Clue, Montana revealed that he's currently working with DJ Snake on a new project.

The Regiment: S.O.U.L. | prod by Sinitus Tempo
The Regiment have teamed up with graphic designer RF3RD to create a new project which merges 2 of the 5 elements of Hip Hop: MCing and Graffiti. The new project, S.O.U.L. (Sound Of Us Living), is one of the first to utilize our new platform -- HiPNOTT Certified, an outlet of HiPNOTT which allows us to showcase specific brands represented or sponsored by the label. HiPNOTT Certified, over the coming months, will bond with and promote individuals/brands within the industry such as graphic artists, DJs, videographers, and clothing designers. It allows us to focus on other aspects of the industry and push the HiPNOTT brand even further. RF3RD is an extremely graphic designer and we are proud to label him HiPNOTT Certified!
Beginning today and each Friday at the top of the month, The Regiment will release a track from S.O.U.L. along with original artwork from RF3RD. Here's the first cut, "S.O.U.L.", produced by Sinitus Tempo.

#Vinyl Kay-Dee Records presents: Wild Style Breakbeats
Wild Style Breakbeats available: 8.12.14
Wild Style Breakbeats is a collection of 7 Seven-Inch records containing re-edited and extended breaks from director Charlie Ahearn's original reel-to-reel tapes. Making a visionary move more than a half-decade before any sampling or music clearance lawsuits would appear -- Ahearn decided that he wanted to control the music to be used in these scenes. They would create their own breakbeats, instead of using known cuts of the day; for instance, The Incredible Bongo Band's "Apache" or James Brown's "Funky Drummer."
Over the course of a week's time in the late summer of 1981, the Wild Style Breakbeats sessions were completed and mastered. The Session musicians for this historic project were Blondie's Chris Stein, downtown drummer, Lenny Ferrari (a regular on Glenn O'Brien's TV Party) with the guidance of Fab Five Freddy. None of the three principal musicians who played on the Breakbeats were ever in the studio at the same time. And the final number of white-label-only Breakbeats 12-inches was, according to Freddy, only 100, making them some of the rarest "Holy Grail" pieces of vinyl in music history. Most of the original Breakbeats were about one minute long.
For this special re-issue, Kenny not only extended but re-EQed and remastered the tapes. Thanks to these efforts, all 13 Breakbeats are presented here with top-level audio quality that has never been heard before. Additionally, since only bootlegs of the Wild Style Breakbeats have ever existed, this is the first time they have ever been presented on their own, as an official full album release.
