The Godfather of Rap, le King de la Zulu Nation, LE Maître des Disques, les marques d’honneur ne manquent pas pour dénommer le célèbre DJ, responsable de l’hymne du rap : «Planet Rock». Aux côtés de Kool Herc et de Grandmaster Flash, Bam est le troisième de la sainte trinité des inventeurs du hip hop. Avec lui, la platine devient véritablement un instrument à part entière, la boîte à rythme (la fameuse TR-808 de Roland) se fraie une place respectable et l’art du scratch prend une ampleur qu’on ne soupçonnait pas encore. C’est un tournant dans l’histoire de la musique, un changement de paradigme quand le manipulateur de sons prend le pas sur le créateur, le musicien et le compositeur. Une science qui fut portée à son paroxysme avec ce DJ féru de vieilleries, collectionneur de disques en tous genres. DJ Kool Herc inventait le breakbeat. …

1 Marvin Gaye - What's Goin' on
(1971)
With What's Going On, Gaye meditated on what had happened to the American dream of the past -- as it related to urban decay, environmental woes, military turbulence, police brutality, unemployment, and poverty. These feelings had been bubbling up between 1967 and 1970, during which he felt increasingly caged by Motown's behind-the-times hit machine and restrained from expressing himself seriously through his music. Finally, late in 1970, Gaye decided to record a song that the Four Tops' Obie Benson had brought him, "What's Going On". When Berry Gordy decided not to issue the single, deeming it uncommercial, Gaye refused to record any more material until he relented. Confirmed by its tremendous commercial success in January 1971, he recorded the rest of the album over ten days in March, and Motown released it in late May. …

LFO — британский техно-коллектив. В 1989 году Стив Бекетт и Роб Митчелл, владельцы небольшого музыкального магазина Warp Records из Шеффилда, решили, что acid и techno-движение в Англии вполне достигло тех масштабов, когда его можно смело коммерциализировать. На базе магазина они открыли маленький независимый лейбл, где предполагалось издавать отечественных подражателей Детройту и Чикаго. Первой уорповской большой случайной удачей стал Джордж Эвелин (George Evelyn) из Nightmares on Wax, который забрел к ним в магазин продать свои демо-пластинки. Второй большой случайной удачей стали два подростка из соседнего Лидса, не имевшие, строго говоря, ни группы, ни названия, но ставшие известными как LFO.

Подростки учились вместе в колледже, на курсах фотографии и графического дизайна и назывались Марк Белл и Гез Варли (Mark Bell, Gez Varley). У Геза Варли были деньги на аппаратуру, а у Марка Белла — идеи, что с этой аппаратурой можно делать. …

Noisemaker Media serves up classic park jam footage of Afrika Bambaataa, Jazzy Jay, Lord Finesse, DJ Red Alert, Kid Capri, Biz Markie, and more in a promo for New York’s 2010 True School Park Jam Series.

Afrika Bambaataa, DJ Red Alert, and The Original Jazzy Jay reunite on the wheels of steel for the first time in over 25 years. Many have neglected the fact these individuals are primarily responsible for the genesis of hip hop culture.

“I always saw a divide between music that was based purely on sound design and tunes that were written to physically move people. A challenge for me has been to try and make ‘tunes’ using aspects of sound design normally associated with highbrow academic studies in this area. I don’t know how successful I’ve been but that was a goal anyway.” – Amon Tobin, in his MySpace blog.

A Picture Worth a Thousand Beats: The Early Years
The roots of electronic music are planted in the theoretical and experimental camps of early 20th century composers. Edgard Varèse, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Pierre Schaeffer, and the like were primarily concerned with sound as sound rather than pure notation, expanding beyond tonality and traditional song structure with the aid of technological advances. Then, somewhere between Kraftwerk in the early ‘70s, disco in the late ‘70s, and the Madchester rave scene in the late ‘80s…

This is an honest attempt at getting Afrika Bambaataa, nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize! He brought peace in the boroughs of NYC and propelled a global movement in which young people from all walks of life, all colors, races, & creeds, to find themselves and each other, in peace. He taught many, to peacefully explore and express their talent & creativity...and to uplift themselves and their community through activism. Building bridges between cultures and countries...crossing boundries to show the youth that we are all one and should think for and search to educate ourselves. It was Bambaataa, who formed Hip-Hop into an organized culture and because of this, there a millions of people, from all walks of life, across the globe, who practice the famous four values, instead of chaos & violence and he was very instrumental, upfront, & peaceful in the struggle against aparthied, in South Africa. …
