HIT IT AND QUIT IT Jan. 25, 2010

Recloose and Booker with Sam Harman and Chef D in the house for good cheer. As per usual we took it all over (Hip House to new Stones Throw and lots of new and old in between).

Next week we're aiming to catch up with Trus'me before his Revue Debut (Feb. 12 at the Basement!) and rap with BlueVibeStudio about the pending Soul All Dayer at the Kings Arms on Feb. 13th (epic-ness). And surely we'll be talking a bit about our Sydney Festival edition of the HIQI Revue that jumps off this Saturday (with yours truly, Booker and Mara TK).

I love the Junkyard Band.

House Shoes

My man from back in the day House Shoes has just confirmed he'll be playing at Fu Bar on Feb. 13. If you have been hankering for some of that real Detroit hip hop ish and consider yourself a fan of Dilla in ANY sense then you really need to be there. Peep his new joint The Makings on the inaugural Do-Over 7" from Stone's Throw...



So there's your big-ass weekend rounded out- HIQI Revue with Trus'me on Feb. 12th, The Soul All-Dayer from 2pm on Feb. 13th at the King's Arms and finish up the night with your boy House Shoes at Fu Bar. I'm gonna go rest up now in anticipation...

Hit It & Quit It Radio Jan 18th 2010

Hot off the press it's Hit It & Quit It Radio. I flew the flag solo (kinda) with some help from Ben Lawson & Mr Sam 'The Plan' Harman.
It's so damn hot in Auckland at the moment that the tempo of the show steadily dropped over the last hour, settling at some nice philly style numbers including a dope jam from the late, great Teddy Pendergrass (RIP), and one of my all time favourite jams - The Futures 'Ain't No Time Fa Nuthin' -so, so dope!
Hope you enjoy the show, once again edited with care by the Lawsonator, so needless to say: No adverts, just the goodness!
Enjoy !

HIQI Jan. 11, 2010 Pt. 1
HIQI Jan. 11, 2010 Pt. 2

David Simon's 'Treme'

And I was JUST complaining about not having real shit to watch.

Starring Wendell Pierce (Bunk!), Clarke Peters (Lester!), Steve Zahn and what looks to be a generally solid cast of actors you'll know...

The lives of Jazzmen in Post-Katrina New Orleans. Could it get any heavier or better? Gonna go back and watch 'When The Levees Broke' now and wait for the April debut...

HIT IT AND QUIT IT Jan. 4, 2010- Summertime...

We're back in the building after our holiday break. What up?!

This show was originally going to be a 'rain and shine' special but I figured nobody in sunny Auckland would want any part of an hour of rainy vibes (although there are some stone cold rain jams...another show). So here it is- the Hit It and Quit It Sunny Summertime show. Forgot my Serato control records so lucky I packed lots of real vinyl.... and the headphones were f'ing out but got there in the end.






Btw, for all of you in the Northern Hemisphere scratching your head thinking I was being ironic, it really IS summer down this way. I only bring this up as it was an astonishing revelation to myself before my first trip to the Southern Hemisphere... "What?? The seasons are reversed??" And the toilets flush backwards, true this...
