OFFBEATERS Website goes Subversiv

13. Januar 2023 by T B

As some may have noticed, a few things are changing on this website at the moment. I have the crappy task of merging the old Offbeaters website with this one at the moment. It has to be done, because technically it can’t be done any other way, but for nostalgic reasons we don’t want to withhold the contents from posterity by any means… Read More

Thesis Sahib ‎– Wartime Theme Songs For The Modern Ego

This Canadian MC (that means rapper, Grandpa) is out of this world. With a unique, melodic style of delivery that is probably best described as indescribable, Thesis, along with a bunch of Thesis Sahib grafitti photo.other extremely gifted MC’s, gives us over

40min of humorous, serious, literal, metaphoric, abstract, and poetic lyrics, laid over music produced by a slew of different artists like Alias (Anticon), The Mole (Motion Recordings).

Besides being a great rapper, Thesis is also a much-celebrated graffiti artist and found object painter, his works depicting abstract creatures that look closer to Picasso than to traditional grafitti art.

He also perfoms with Selfhelp as “Bending Mouth” and with Bleubird (Endemik/Gunporn) as the “Swashbucklin´Napoleons.

Disflex 6 – robot dreams

album, Disflex 6, vinyl

In 1996 two MC’s, Jason the Argonaut and Lazerus Jackson , burst onto the “do it yourself” Bay Area hip hop scene and quickly created their own sound. That sound became Disflex6 (dis-flex-six). They released two albums, “ 1984” and “ Roadside Attractions, ” which brought the duo increased exposure and added them to the ranks of other Bay Area indie artists such as: the Living Legends, Souls of Mischief and Blackalicious…The next cream of the crop.

Soon after, in 1999 Disflex6 added two new members, Elon.is, to help Jason on the beats and to refine the sound, and longtime friend DJ Capsize to round out the group. Collectively they released “ Where the Sidewalk Ends ” (2000), a refreshing change in the otherwise oversaturated underground market. While continuously recording new music and promoting themselves, with a do or die ethic, they also launched their website (of course), www.disflex6.com and took their place as a contender in the bay area independent hip hop scene. “ Where the Sidewalk Ends ” received positive reviews in national music magazines and caught the attention of LEX RECORDS, a subsidiary of legendary WARP RECORDS in London .

A three EP deal was quickly in the works, and in 2001 DISFLEX6 ’s “ Hot Season EP ” was the first release by LEX. Shortly there after the D6 contributed a song to the “ Lexoleum ” compilation, also a LEX release, which featured, Boom Bip, J-Zone, and Non Prophets, amongst others.

The Disflex6 parlayed their exposure, especially on the international scene, by releasing a string of solo releases, including albums by Lazerus Jackson ( Crime – 2001), Elon.is ( Atomik Age – 2002), and Jason the Argonaut ( Keyboard To Life – 2003). With these as the foundation, their crew and label Sunset Leagues International ( SLI ) was born. To date, SLI has over 15 projects out on the market and are in line for another big year in 2004 with three new DISFLEX6 projects, “ Slow Burn ” , “ The Loop Hole ,” and the release of “ Robot Dreams ”.

album, Epic, vinyl

Two years in the making, Local Only represents the most comprehensive Epic release to date. Over a fine collection of beats, Epic drops verses about aging rappers, creditors and everyday injustice with his trademark wit and unorthodox flow.

Epic enlisted the talents of some of Canada’s finest including mic rippers, Pip Skid, Micill Write, and Conspiracy, turntablist, Kutdown and beatmakers Soso, Maki and Muneshine (Lightheaded).

This album presents wonderful music and a laidback feeling and is the perfect soundtrack for a picnic in the next forest… but be aware of the witches…

Soso – tenth street and clarence

album, Soso, vinyl

Soso presents his third self-produced release, tenth street and Clarence. Soso locates his work in a cold and desolate place – the middle of nowhere. An artist,writer and beatsmith from Saskatchewan, Canada, his songs are unapologetic and decidedly home-made.

Cutting his production teeth on a vintage Akai S900 sampler, Soso has been knockingout distinctive beats with that low end thump since the mid 90’s. Lifting old drums and melodic bits from his expansive (and expanding) vinyl collection, Soso has been chopping and assembling beats, developing his unique sound and earning the respectof the independent hip hop community.

In 1999, soso established Clothes Horse Records as a vehicle to develop and disseminate his unique musical vision. A number of successful releases followed and in 2002, soso dropped birthday songs — Birthday songs asserted itself as one the finest productions of the year, capturing a nomination for Outstanding Rap / Hip Hop Recording at the 2003 Western Canadian Music Awards.
