Sach O shouldn’t have listened to this beat after a large coffee. Prodigy isn’t the most popular of rappers to champion these days but I’ll always ride by the Mobb Deep stalwart. Return of the Mac is still one of my favorite rap albums of the last decade and what Bandana P’s flow lost in… Continue reading »

Sach O: Who da Coldest?

Son Raw is going to get ravey As mentioned in this morning post, I’m in promo mode these days – kissing hands, shaking babies and generally spreading the word about my various endeavors to the offline massive – you know, in da streets never industry. It’s been a rousing success so far, something I attribute… Continue reading »

Sach O: Ital Tek X DOOM

MF Sach. Pardon the lack of writing while we get our house in order – I’m currently in the midsts of a term paper and promotional hell that’s hardly conductive to pontificating on the newest Spaceghostpurrp release. In the meantime, Planet Mu stalwart Ital Tek just liberated this dusty DOOM bootleg that’s been sitting on… Continue reading »

Sach O: Top 5 Dubplates on Rinse 17

Sach O doesn’t need to tell you how he feels about this CD so instead of a standard review, he’s highlighting a few unreleased and forthcoming tracks from this mix. Royal-T – Orangeade V.I.P An epic opening number with a Trance-sized build-up, this remix of 2011′s first single from Elijah & Skilliam’s Butterz label feels… Continue reading »

Sach O: Pinch & Shackleton’s Heavy Levitation

Sach O sits alone in his four-cornered room staring at empty redbull cans. Pinch & Shackleton is a wonderful exercise in stubbornness. Devoid of easily identifiable signifiers, it’s tempting to tag it with complex genre descriptions – post this and step that. But you’d be missing the point entirely. This collaboration between two of Dubstep’s… Continue reading »

Sach O: Joker – The Vision (Free Instrumentals)

Sach O is currently wearing a purple T-shirt. Reactions to Joker’s debut album haven’t matched the thunderous of his early singles but this isn’t necessarily as dramatic as some would have you believe. Yes – he took a risk and it didn’t quite work out but why release an album otherwise? Underground dance music lives… Continue reading »

Sach O: Elijah & Skilliam ft Grime Allstars take over Rinse.

Sach O geeked out during this show I could go on and on about how awesome last night’s Grime-producer allstar session on Rinse was, but by now, that would probably be preaching to the converted. Instead, allow me to briefly explain WHY I’m so enamored with instrumental Grime, despite the lack of mainstream hype surrounding… Continue reading »

Sach O: Greensleeves’ Dubstep Vol. 1

Sach O has been charged with disturbing the peace. Say what you want about the current state of Dubstep but the genre and its variants have certainly captured the public imagination and caused a whole lot of bandwagon jumping by artists who otherwise would have no interest in the stuff. From Korn employing an army… Continue reading »

Sach O: Fatima Al Qadiri – Hip Hop Spa

Sach O would have written more today but he had to get through this Franz Fanon book. In which an academically inclined multi-cultural beatmaker takes on the prison industrial complex and 90s Hip-Hop video stereotypes. I’ll let her tell it: “Hip Hop Spa posits an uncanny parallel between the luxurious solitary confinement of a spa… Continue reading »

Sach O: State Prop takes you to hell

Sach O went to hell for snuffin’ Satan. Fuck “coulda been,” State Prop can still be contenders. Not in the major leagues of course, the idea that Freeway could ever actually break into the American mainstream is absurd, but no squad from the last decade has more potential to corner the semi-lucrative underground market. Club… Continue reading »
