You should step inside 'Biscuithead' a newly opened store where the soul of the underground sound of dance music has finally found a home in Boston. (I made that up btw...just so you know it's not some flyer-speak.) VITALS: ph 617-247-3268 fx 247-3532 93 massachusetts ave (buzz #9) Biscuithead is a start up store by the effervescent DJ Bruno (he's the kid with the oversize afro and sideburns f#cking up the EQ on all the house cuts). For the things that these list members would be looking for (which means everything right!) you should seek out Tim Haslett's ear (he's the guy who looks like a Professor). Tim is on the frontside of every cresting 'next big thing' which IMO currently are these BAD assed BASS break tracks from Baltimore. This weekend I heard one on the radio with the little melody loop from the sitcom Taxi! *Wow* More info please?! (ahem sasha) Teep on now: tip toe - 99% atom heart (you know it - tp ;)

Minor correction...It's DJ Bunyip (as in the Aussie Folklore) and I'm the Prime Minister (Teep Nice) and Duo is the Captain.

That was of course the result of the DMC Box Set coming out around the same time as the Funkmaster Flex discs. Oh gosh. Teep on the idm tip: the subtropic full length CD...rubbing shoulders with the T-Power analogs vs breaks thing. Get it! (reflective)

ask and ye shall receive...baltimore checks in with tracks hotter than the sun. Here's the limited info so far: There are two labels releasing this crazy stuff so far: Nuclheads and Hardhead. About 8(?) releases between the two and one name seems to crop up on the credits of at least three of the records: Mills (!) . Doubtfull that it's Jeff Mills as these tracks sound NOTHING like the AXIS material. The record in question is on Nucleheadz and is by K-Life & DJ Booman and the tracks contained within are: Puff a lotta weed, Taxi, Come on bus. So hard to describe what these records sound like. Imagine your average Dancemania record (DJ Funk Street Trax for example) mixed in with cut up cheezy samples (as in the Taxi theme or Michael Jackson's mamasay-mamasa-mamatusa) and breakbeats pitched down to 120(ish). Throw in some 4/4 in between, add a touch of Viewlexx and a pounding portion of BASS. The result is the birth of the Baltimore Sound. I'm still reeling from playing this stuff on the Saturday show on @ ZBC.... butter me, sashainboston P.S. Tune in to 90.3, 11-2 on Sat nights in Beantown for yours truly (acidburn) P.P.S. Be sure to check out the 2-6 supermix that's on right after (resident turntable technician Teep, DJ Bunyik and Prime Minister, the sinister DJ Duo. P.P.P.S. Duo was ON this last Saurday: DMC's the Bells got the workout of the year!
