Tatsuki – Super Sucker Killer
We’re now off to Japan again with Tatsuki, the second Japanese artist to feature on Cuts of Culture 2. Much as is the case with DJ Baku, it’s a pleasure to be able to feature Tatsuki on the compilation as he’s also part of the new wave of Japanese artists who are pushing through a new sound aesthetic which takes its roots in the work of the pioneer DJ Krush and evolves it for the new century. Tatsuki also features on the compilation mix as part of Bichi, the alias of Danish producer Tobias Wilner with whom Tatsuki also works with as part of Blue Foundation. Tatsuki put this exclusive track together for the compilation and again it’s a corker of a track which we couldn’t not feature in one way or another. Some electronic madness, uptempo and on a totally different tip to a lot of what we’ve featured so far (which is one of the reasons we like it so much). Check the Game Boy style basslines!
For more info on Tatsuki you can check out our March 05 podcast which features an exclusive mix from the man with tons of unreleased material from his forthcoming album as well as an interview, and also head over to the Blue Foundation website and his blog.

Grazzhoppa – Rockin’ Raw
Next up is Grazzhoppa, the Belgium legend who’s responsible for the DJ Big Band project (we featured on week 4 of the podcasts) and a whole host of beats, cuts, tracks and featurings which would take waaaay to long to list here. Let’s just say the man’s put in the work, and he’s one of Europe’s hardest working. Grazz sent us this track as an exclusive for the compilation unfortunately we were unable to include it in the mix. This is classic Grazz material – head nod hip hop with tight cuts. Simple but effective. You may also recognise it as the background music we used on the trailer. For more info on the man like Grazzhoppa head over to his myspace and official site.

‘Cuts of Culture 2 – The Podcasts’: Week 7

Week 7 of the Cuts of Culture 2 podcasts and we’re soon approaching the final shows.

African – Hornlife
First up is African, hailing all the way from Cape Town, South Africa. This track is taken from African’s debut album, which he released himself and put out for free on the internet about a year or so ago. The album is available to download from spinscience. A mellow instrumental piece, laid back but still funky. It’s great being able to feature him on the compilation, especially as we don’t know of anyone else on the African continent who’s actively making music on the turntablist front (and if you are and are reading this than get in touch!). You can find out more about African, and also download his second album, on the Retrofuturists website, a collective of like minded artists, whose music we’ll be featuring on future podcasts.
