Another set over at The New Worck: An Antique Fork, How Long Will It Last? Straight jack the download here.

It's banging, dark, grimy beats with VERY PECULIAR titles. Some turnablism, some downtempo, some illbient, some you can put in your don't-know-what-he-said-book. Like mashing Yes and Schoolly D, what fucking genre is that? I guess mahfuckas get way too high after recording and take a brooding beauty and name it Barbecue Island. Some people are inspired to paint the Sistine Chapel, others are inspired to make a song about broccoli. Or cockroaches. Or bathing. Or unicycles. You figure it out.

As Schobbejak, the New Worck's maestro, put it: We started soepel and we will stay soepel! Word to your soepel.

Had to drop Winston Churchill in at the end--W.C. could rock the mic. He was like the Biggie Smalls of World War II. They both had that overcoat/derby thing going on, too.
