A few more weeks left in 2017 and we are winding down here at New Noize. This past Sundays playlist was a nice swatch of whats to come for the early days of 2018. In hour 2 I played back to back tracks featuring Ghostface Killah of the Almighty Wu Tang Clan. The 1st track is a reissue that Mello Music group is putting out. It's taken from the "brown tape" a project by GHK and Apollo Brown which originally was released on the failed RZA's label known as Soul Temple. I am still out 100+ after pre ordering a special edition vinyl set, which blows cause all of the music that came out on Soul Temple was insanely good. The 2nd track feature's Pretty Tony on a track by Dabrye. I am curious to see who else was enlisted by Dabrye for his new album. Also in hour 2 I dropped the new Planet Asia, good to see him back in the studio making banger after banger. Got some metal action going with Hamferð, Electric Wizard, & Harms Way. 

FIRE UPDATE! So I am in the Thomas Fire area which has blown up to be the 3rd largest wildfire in California's recorded history. As of now me and the little lady are out of the evacuation area and I see blue skies off my balcony after 2 weeks of smoked filled nastiness. Hopefully this trend continues and this fire finally wants to die down. These firefighters are out of this world brave and to see their deification to fighting this blazing inferno is awe inspiring. Mass respect to these cats.

Next week I will be in the studio for Christmas Eve and this upcoming New Noize will be filled with holiday themed music. Even though I am Muslim I LOVE ME SO FREAKIN CHRISTMAS MUSIC. Especially when my favorite artists and bands do these covers of Christmas classic. Its like my favorite drink, hot chocolate with Baileys, try it and you will see what I see.

Till next Sunday you Nutcrackers...

IM BACK BABY!!!!! 1st off big ups to all the people who met up with me while I was on the east coast. We laughed, we cried and we talked shop. It was great to finally meet up in the flesh with these industry cats that I have worked with for almost 10 years. It was long overdue and I look forward too being more social in “real life” rather than leaning on my digital self. ALSO must give a quick shout out to Ricky Biggs, who once again covered New Noize while I was galavanting all over the tri-state. Thanks bro.

Onto this past weeks New Noize. This is the last week for specialty spins until everyone and their mom goes on hiatus of the rest of the year. This week I wanted to showcase some new releases coming out before the new year and some that have just released but may not be on your radar.

I kicked off the show with some L.A. Law coming out of burger records and as it was described to me its not your typical “burger” release. L.A. Law sounds like the backing band for Prince from 1988 to 1992. A lot of electro funky synth blanketed by the lead vocalist perfectly pitched sound transports the listener to a time where 8-tracks and gas guzzling cars ruled the streets. 

I hit the new Lane-8 track “Atlas” which is a must add to any gamers playlist when battling alien life or just cruising in your intergalactic spacecraft. If want to get a bit laid back then I recommend Loma’s “Black Widow” Turn the lights to real low, turn up the aroma therapy and bump this jam. When talking about jams from the 1st hour I MUST mention Bekon “Cold as Ice”, I meant just watch this video:

Hour 2 I came in swinging with some Ty Segall covering Hot Chocolates “Every 1’s a Winner”. Is there anything this dude can’t do? Really excited about U.S. Girls 2018 release and if it’s anything like their new single “Velvet is 4 Sale” I am stoked. Got to see Tune-Yards last week in Santa Barbara and she is always so amazing live. I also got to play her new single “ABC-123” and much like her its a must see (or listen, you know what I meant). I snuck in some metal via Harms Way “Human Caring Capacity” cause I can and ended the show with Jim James.  

We are coming up on the “Best of 2017” for New Noize and it will not disappoint. 2017 has been a stand out year for new music and hopefully the Best of New Noise 2017 will live up to the HYPE. 

AND LASTLY IT’S MOTHERFUCKING LAST JEDI TIME!!!!!! I have been waiting decades for Luke to take center stage once more and I can feel the force course through my veins, can you? How are they gonna top “I’m your Father” from Empire Strikes back? Will Luke or Rey turn to the dark side? What’s the deal with Kylo sun? We will finally get to see Ben Solo’s backstory and transformation to Kylo Ren. I am hyperventilating right now and have to stop typing.

You would figure this late in the year the new music game would slow down but NOPE the jams keep coming through. This past Sunday was no exception as I set up another groovy set. I was all over the place playing tracks from Joji, Sleigh Bells, Hookworms, Ty Segall & Prayers. This erratic playlist may have been due to the death virus that is coursing through my vein, in short I don’t feel good.

Guess who’s gonna be on the east coast soon? THIS GUY!!!! Gonna hit Florida then post Thanksgiving fly north to NJ. 

As for New Noize we will be taking a break this Sunday but come the next few Sundays Im gonna have my home Ricky take over.

See you in a few Sundays.
