recently dear friends of the doctor have requested the remix album, shades of blue by the prolific and great otis jackson jr. as a bonus, t has also included untinted - sources for madlib's shades of blue.
CMYK - cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. the 4 colours used to make every other colour (for colour printing and so forth, design heads can i get an amen?).
aesthetically speaking, we're wavy on the spectrum here, eh?
CMYK the ep by DERT (whom yall should really know by now...)
Living the life of an MD in the big city can be taxing. The doctor has a hard time keeping track of all his appointments, clients, and internetting responsibilities, much less social obligations. Missing out on shows blows. Because of busy business over the last week and a half, the doctor totally forgot and therefore did not attend 3 events featuring one of his favored musical combos that graced the fair urban utopia of his practices. Teengirl Fantasy, i lament missing out on such a chance opportunity to dance to your lovely tuneage. In subsequent angst and pricklyness, dr. t has decided to break out the little black bag and feature the tgif ep and a dublab.com set from '08. Take heed and on an empty stomache.
Theo Parrish is a producer of great esteem held dearly by thee Dr. T. A longtime lover and enthusiast of electronic music and its cultural roots, Dr. T invited the gentle reader to investigate the sonic stylings of Theo Parrish in this short video made by adidas last spring '08. Parrish, has garnered a lot of media attention from the usual suspects within the electronic music industry, most notably for his stance on the trajectory of his music, its place within the framework of "house" music and the issue of race as an african american musician/artist/producer. Dr. T co-signs on Theo Parrish's expression, albeit with minor adjustments and disagreements along the way. (its all complex!) Please enjoy Lakeshore Drive, a Theo Parrish sultry scorcher of springtime seductiveness.
This podcast was released about this time last year in '08 but still provides a vital dosage of vitamin hell yes. James pants dee jay set podcast. please enjoy and await further re-broadcasts of the doctor's favorite stones throw podcasts, which are available via itunes podcast FREE subscription directly through the stones throw site. They are updated regularly but not archived, so get it while its piping hot!
These are the dudes you've seen the last 4 or 5 years, playing their hearts out all over NYC. Please check their site, Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, and cross your fingers for another sweaty brassed off summer in Union Square to be blessed by the ensemble.
Yet another Beat tape from last year, '08 had people knodding their heads all the way into the first days of spring 2009. with this crazy weather we're having and current astrological meltdown of sorts (more on that later) the doctor prescribes something to take on the go, Talk Strange by Dert. Much Like Black Milk's color purple (prince) fiasco, talk strange is a fun innovative and exciting beat tape that samples bjork and creates new riffs on a classic artist. And i felt tired of Bjork, not the case after i heard this tape.
This is ridiculous. Black Milk sampled a bunch of Prince records and created a bang out beat tape. At the end of each beat the original Prince snippet is revealed, to relieve all who are mystified by what they hear.
Doc Tee shares individual mp3's which are downloadable at the click of a button, as well as whole albums and mixes. These files are meant for preview, if you really dig the music, support the artist and go buy the album. Generally the albums are mp3's that are compressed together as a .zip or .rar file. To download and open these types of files, use Stuffit Expander for the zip files and UnRar for the rar files. (These recommendations are made for mac os/x users. For windows based extractors, the doctor prescribes a google search for the best applications to handle the job.)
