DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist - Brainfreeze (1999)


Brainfreeze was recorded by DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist as a practice session for a show in February 1999 at the Future Primitive Soundsession (San Francisco) mixing funk and soul 45's. Initially 1000 copies were made and sold at the shows, and a further 1000 copies were made and distributed to local records stores in California and sold out very quickly. A cease-and-desist letter from 7-11 Convenience stores—the whole artwork and styling was based on their logos and uniforms—meant that they stopped and moved on. The album was then bootlegged and it can now be found in popular record shops. (Wikipedia)

Interesting fact about this record: The 45's that Shadow and Chemist used to record this are extremely rare and every time they were scratched the vinyl would get damaged and deteriorate. Shadow and Chemist did the whole record in one take because they couldn't risk damaging the out-of-print vinyl anymore.

El Stew - No Hesitations (1999)


El Stew are a motley assortment: there’s Brain, the drummer from Primus; DJ Disk, a.k.a. the Shigger Fragger, the godfather of the Invisibl Skratch Piklz; twisted guitarist Buckethead; Eddie Def of the Space Travelers (formerly the Scratch Hamsters); and producer Extrakd. It’s an assemblage you might not expect to work, and their music is almost unclassifiable–except to say that it makes for a hell of an interesting listen. The album isn’t a seamless mix of the quintet’s talents, but it comes close: all five meet on a trippy, abstract plane and share the same twisted sense of humor. (If you recognize the two films they lift the phrase “klaatu barada nikto” from, this is the album for you.) Somehow, El Stew manage to fit funky dance tracks (”Reign of Terror”), bizarre dance tracks (”Surf Mission [Invasion of the Duck Punk],” with its chorus of quacks), and some very experimental, weird music side by side. That it never once feels out of place is an incredible accomplishment. (Randy Silver)

Buckethead dong some sick dance moves during one of their shows:
