SOME THINGS TO CHECK OUT IN YOUR LOCAL RETAILERS…

now i don’t normally come to blog-a-bitch, but i am just sayin not my finest growth spurt period….2010, lata! aye yay yay! i hate to say it but, 2010 could be gone yesterday and it would be not a second too soon…i had a not so stellar personal year…way too many things. and sometimes too much of not enough!  i am adjusting to 40 and wasn’t gripping reality too tight about its obvious truths!  however, it panned itself past and i lost the initial sneak attack. but i bounced back for the 13th round at the 11th hour and can say, i didn’t get k.o’d. but i did get blown back a bit and got counted out of the ring!  however, i centered myself, dusted of my leather boots and proceeded to stomp into a new era.  i still can rock a house. but roll a stone….i’m not sure!

now i am back to sane and stable, not kane and able…

Now the good news is, i saved a lot on my car insurance….

on to the upside of the down 10!

I can truly say, professionally, i was ok in that department.  there was some cool shit goin down that i got my hands dirty with.  lets accentuate the positive with recap, shall we?

i ended the year finishing a kickass remix for quentin harris’ “paradise” single. it should be coming up in the next few singles from his fantabulous album “sacrifice”.

i also did a cool mix for Ben Sharkey’s single “actually” on Detox

i just finished mastering and some production work on the LP “Sticky/foreplay” by La Veda on my label Harlem Station Recordings.

i penned the song “grocery store” for her and the project. i do quite enjoy the song, it’s one of my favorite songs i’ve written as of late. check it out.

speaking of la veda.  she will be everywhere in 2011. she wrote lyrics for a song to go on my lp, “no vacancy“. it was called “gotta get to you” unfortunately, i wasn’t able to finish the music in time for the lp, so i put it on backburner for another project (her lp). well before i could blink, CJ Burken pulled it out of the vault and made a supreme track around it – recreating it into a deep 111 bpm masterpiece…i am so glad i was not able to do this song…justice was served by the man himself! this will be out on jan. 11, 2011

speaking of CJ Burken, i wrote a song for his upcoming LP, tentatively titled “my third eye”. the song is called “startanu my friend”. he revamped his hit song “startanu” into a downtempo reggae styled moodswing. the instrumental is on the 2nd part of the startanu release. titled startanu (cj burkens nu nu mix) from harlem station recordings.  his lp will be blazing the world in spring 2011. startanu was one of my favorite songs of 201o, and guess what? i did a mix to that too called the undah-dub empathy mix – i love it, it rocked me – and according to sales, many other kind folk too!!!

other mixes included, Lee Bradley – rhythmship and Fuckin DJ’s – Kuntunpau on Decibel NYC. get it at beatport.com

i just released a dj mix cd for Decibel NYC called “we are decibel nyc 2″ and it follows the first one from 2008 also

also my LP “No Vacancy” is still available in everystore! digitally or cd

so overall, 2010 was musically good for me. got some things out, butlooking forward to a wonderful 2011. full of inner peace, love, prosperity and journey to continue creating thyself for thy people!

look out for the new smear.  HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

it seems that the “no vacancy” lp has grown legs and taken on a life of it’s own.  with so much support from the dj community it’s hard to stay on schedule with releases.  it seems everyone wants to do a mix of it. so i’ve decided to create the “no vacancy” remix pack!  just recently i have gotten some bomb ass remixes from A.D. Cruze, CJ Burken and San Tomasso.  I want you to preview them now and let me know what you think. i know for a fact that you won’t ever be the same.

go to my page on myspace.com and listen to the exclusive remixes…

also, be sure to go to your nearest retailor and pick up a copy of the No Vacancy LP, still selling everywhere.

the undah-dub feat. grier

slinky secrets

decibel nyc recordings

the dynamic duo of undah-dub and super voice grier are at it again!  this time it’s a funky junky called “slinky secrets”.  imagine that beautiful piece in the club that you know has got the goods. but smoke, mirrors and beauty keep their dirty side at bay just to save face…this is the song to rebel on those types!  ”…the dirty ones you think are, too hot and moist and pinky for slinky secrets!” that should say it all. i guess it’s literally asking those tricks to unlock that vault and let us in, cuz we might have to take it by force.  undah-dub pops off one of his funkiest and quirkiest numbers yet, with a steller electro type remix that completely seals the power of this song in a new compact form. fit for radio or clubs, this vocal driven gem will drive everyone crazy.  CJ Burken ducks his head out of the lab to serve us, “the people remixes”.  the vocal mix is a deep and abstract journey into radio space. this is a vintage journey from the master himself, you do not want to miss. And for the boys in the big room, you might want to check out Noxxers twisted version.  he beefs up the soundtrack with a pumpin drum kick, crazy bass line and a lot of moaning….perfect for that 3 a.m. light show.  trust with any of these mixes there will be no wrong turns here tonight. gets to goin!

well since the release of the lp “no vacancy” i have been trying to take a breather to enjoy the fruits…

however duty still calls and i have been up to my neck in work.  i have just completed my remix for the next single “slinky secrets” featuring grier. this remix pack will be hot. it has a dj noxxer mix and cj burken remix (look what the cat…)

here is a sample of my live remix for slinky secrets. (click on link->)  slinky-secrets-remix-sample

also i have finished my remix of denvil’s “let go” it’s called undah-dub’s fighting mix and it’s dark and hot!  i like this a lot because every other mix is garage and up. mine goes dark and in your face.  this will be released on the remix pack of let go on harlem station recordings. it also features lou peoples remixes.

here is a sample of the mix (click link for sample->)  let-go-undah-dubs-fightin-remix-sample

 now, i am working on Miss Pats – “possession”. this is the first single from Breezes E.O.E. Productions imprint. this is coming. i haven’t found the groove that i want, so i keep trying, my deadline is soon.

other deadline is A.D. Cruze’s “House Music” on digital vinyl recordings. i am also stumped on this one. it has so many great remixes, that i still haven’t found what i want to do with it, so stay tuned for that one also.

other than that its biz as usual at harlem station. trying to bring you as much aural excitement as possible. so i will be back atcha…
