Here is Side B of Rockwell - also know as Deru - and Chemta's ill underground Hip Hop mix, "Departures." Deru may be known to you from his dusty, digitally aged ambient electronic releases on Neo Ouija and Merck Records but this set focuses on his earlier hip hop influences. Deru's remix on the latest Machine Drum remix album from M3rck is a perfect blend of these seemingly disparate elements.

One from the archives for ya. Rockwell (aKa Deru) and Chemta have dug this set up from 1999. Old school 90's hip hop at its finest. The first installment comes now, with side B being featured on the 15th. Deru may be known to you from his dusty, digitally aged ambient electronic releases on Neo Ouija and Merck Records but this set focuses on his earlier hip hop influences. Deru's remix on the latest Machine Drum remix album from M3rck is a perfect blend of these seemingly disparate elements.

This set is a special treat from December 05's Percussion Lab monthly event. Ezekiel Honig, based out of NYC and head of Anticipate Recordings, brings us a fantastic slice of warm, minimal, melodic crackles and ambience. Ezekiel's music here is a perfect example of honest, unpretentious minimal electronic music. The off kilter, 4/4 techno flavors give the performance the movement it needs at exactly the right points. Mr. Honig's debut album, "People Places & Things," is still one of our favorite minimal electronic albums of the past five years. Be sure to check out Ezekiel Honig's latest release with Morgan Packard, "Early Morning Migration."
