By now, you surely already have heard that Beastie Boy MCA aka Adam Yauch passed away this past Friday, May 4, 2012, after a long battle with cancer. This would be a pretty shitty beat blog if we didn’t pause for the man with the beard like a billy goat. The Beasties will go down in history as legends in hip-hop, and, for our purposes, as some of the greatest innovators of the sample game. Hell, Paul’s Boutique…. Read More

From Mochipet: This is a remix for “Year of the Dragon” off of my new LP with MCZULU “Mochipet is Evil” (Chicago) coming out 4/3 on my label Daly City Records. I wanted to do something a little bit less electronic for this one so I went Ska, yup that’s right. Ska. I played all the guitars, bass, and moog on this and it was nice to switch it up a bit. I hope you enjoy it! “Mochipet is Evil” coming 4/3 on Daly City Records. with remixes by: Freddy Todd, Jay Wikid, Polish Ambassador, Yan Zombie, Hellfire Machina, Skulltrane, U9LIft, and BD1982.

MCZULU & MOCHIPET – To The East (Free Download) from Mochipet is Evil by Mochipet
Earlier today, Mochipet & MC Zulu offered up a free download of a track from the pair’s forthcoming collaborative LP, Mochipet Is Evil – a joint release slated for release on April 3rd through Mochi’s Daly City Records.
This track has me salivating to hear the rest of the album, as it sees Mochipet’s production on a bit more of a tropical funky vibe, even incorporating Eastern melodies as the name would suggest – as opposed to the glitchier beats he’s become known for. This single is said to include remixes from Freddy Todd, Hellfire Machina, Skulltrane, BD1982and BC’s own Yan Zombie & Jay Wikid – in fact, Yan’s remix of the title track “Mochipet Is Evil” can be previewed now.
Mochipet is based in California, and is out on his “Pet Your Godzilla” tour throughout the states this month – you may have heard about him having his MacBook stolen from a gig in New Orleans a couple weeks back, and in hopes of recouping costs to purchase another, he has posted up a 26-track album for purchase on his bandcamp page, including his newest track, “You Can Steal My Laptop But You Can’t Steal My Swing.” Keep up with Mochi on his website, soundcloud, facebook, & twitter.
MC Zulu is a Panama-native, now Chicago-based vocalist & musician with a wealth of material dating back over ten years ago, having worked with producers such as Poirier,DJ C, Kush Arora & Chrissy Murderbot. Late last year he released the full length Electro Track Therapy to positive reviews, containing personal favorites such as the Poirier-produced “Call Red Alert” and “Outlaw Speakerbox,” on a riddim crafted by Brazilian producer/DJ Maga Bo. The album is available here on Juno or here on Beatport. He runs an excellent blog, hosted within his website, and as well as a very active facebook fanpage, you can also catch him on twitter, or check out the wealth of original music on his soundcloud.
To mark the release of their new LP, there will be a huge release party in San Francisco tonight (March 9th), with a slew of special guests – check the details here. Here in BC, we are planning on having our own set of album release parties, including a date here in Vancouver on Friday April 20th at W2 alongside Cyphanex badman Yan Zombie and another show the following night in Nelson at the Spiritbar. Keep your eyes peeled for full party info once its been released!

Hello all! I have some bad news to report. While I was on tour last week in New Orleans someone went into my bag and Stole My Laptop. I am trying to raise funds for a new laptop as it’s a integral part of my work and life. My friend Graz suggested that I put up a page with some of my music in return for donations, so I decided to make a 26 Track collection of my work that people have said they enjoyed in the past with a Brand New Unreleased Track (You Can Steal My Laptop But You Can’t Steal My Swing) that I made right before going to New Orleans. So Please download and enjoy the music and give what you can. If you can’t give, that’s OK too, just spread the word cause there is a chance the laptop could still turn up (see below). Feel free to download the tunes, as I find the best release for something stolen from you sometimes is to give something away you own… xoxo mochi

Tyrannosaurus Rex?? No… Mochipet!! The bass-ballin’ prehistoric brainchild of David Wang, Mochipet (1320 Records) has become a household name among all connoisseurs of womp.
