DJ Vadim, _USSR Repetoire,_ Ninja Tune
Damn, b-boys walkin' in their sleep and shit.
Jeff -
Ditto on everything you said, this album is nice. If you like this one, I'd try
to score the DJ Vadim vs. Primecuts mixtape, "Architects of the Great". It's on
either Jazz Fudge or K'boro, mail order from them or Riouxs Records (sorry,
don't have their email on me at the moment) had copies not too long ago. More
vocal than the album but that same stripped-down hip-hop feel with really
bizarre samples and whatnot. I haven't heard it myself but there's a compilation
called "Sculptured and Broken Sound" that Vadim did that's probably equally
good. Anything on Jazz Fudge or K'boro (Vadim's labels) are most likely a safe
bet. And check out the DJ Krush half of the Coldkrushkuts Double CD on Ninja
Tune, it has the same drowsy slo-mo breaks feel with subtle scratching that you
seem to dig (and I think at least three or four of the cuts are Vadim himself
mixed by Krush). Enjoy...Brock
