Featured Esoterics - Homework

Homework Amsterdam, Netherlands


Homework is Tom Waist and Zip Stolk, two youngsters from Amsterdam that started messing around with turntables, back in 2007.

Their original mixes and remixes demonstrate a wide-raging love for contemporary dance music. Their sound could be described as a unique combination of a deep minimal electro beat combined with an 'anything goes' approach to sampling everything from Eastern chanting to Gypsy strumming.

I bumped into these guys listening to their Lenny Kravits Remix/Re-edit (thanks Gal), and found out these guys have a lot more to say.

Here are the links, you say for yourselves:

Last week @ the Michatronix

Last Wednesday has been a sweet one. Spinning at the "Micha" to me was natural and flowing - the venue, the people, the music - all was fine indeed.

Here's a short edit of some footage filmed by a good friend, If you can sort yourself out there do tag yourselves on Facebook!


I'll be seeing you people at the "Micha" next month - Jan // 19 // 2010.

Peace,
Gramshi

Featured Esoterics - Charles Hamilton

Charles Hamilton Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A

So, on this weekly corner we are going to have a featured forgotten or not very well known artists and some links to his/her music. And this week - Charles Hamilton.

Raised in Harlem, New York, creating music that is mostly is sample-driven. I would describe it mostly as having a slow and deep experimental sound surrounds his well crafted M.C.ing:

“When I sample, I’m not just doing it to sound good. I’m trying to tell a story. To convey an emotion. If I sampled it, there is a reason I sampled it. I believe that music is based on moments, and that there are some moments that people may have missed back in the day. They may have even missed it a year ago. When I sample, I’m giving the artist their respect, while simultaneously creating something new.”

Musician. Producer. Songwriter. Lyricist. Genius. Psycho. Hippie. Sonic the Hedgehog. This guy.
