BREAKIN' RECORDZ: NEW Q-TIP RELEASE

2009-09-12T13:42:00.000-07:00

Stimmy sez: There are countless albums and artists I give myself a lil credit for exposing people to by playing them first. Last week at The Bounce you got a heavy dose of newness from Blue Print 3 before it's release date. Tonight - selections from the new album by Q-Tip "Kamal The Abstract." No... I'm not posting the album. Come to Deity and hear it on a real sound system.

Labor Day Weekend @ The Brooklyn Bounce

From Stimulus: I am of Dominican and Bajan decent and born and raised in Brooklyn... That means I'm dropping some choice Caribbean selections this Saturday. Here's a link to a song by myself and my Brooklyn Bredren Nachy Bless (also featured on Dhundee's album) and General Steele of Smiff N Wessun. DOWNLOAD.

It Rains Purple In Brooklyn

2009-08-07T06:33:00.000-07:00

On the same stage that his royal purple badness graced himself in 2007 (The Prospect Park Bandshell), BK watched and sang along to the feature length music video medley that trumped Thriller - Purple Rain. Brooklyn has always appreciated good music and added it's own spice. Check out Notorious B.I.G. on Prince's "Kiss Riddim."

FROM THE MAJOR LAZER TOUR TO GRAVITY NYC (7/22)

2009-07-22T19:02:00.000-07:00

Responsible for one of the wickedest riddims in years, the unique, drum and bass-tinged Skallawa-- check Turbulance's "Notorious" for proof-- 77klash has a knack for crafting tunes that run di place pretty much everywhere. "Notorious" was huge in Jamaica, went number one in the UK, and was also a favorite of Radiohead, who kicked off shows with the track on their last tour. And "Brooklyn Anthem" (which lives up to its name) had as much success on dancefloors in the UK as it did over here. The Brooklyn-based Jamaican-born Mikkel "Gize" Burrowes brings together more than just JA and the U.S.A. His tracks mash up dancehall and hip-hop, but there's also a bit of grime and a very rock'n'roll element. "Code for the Streets" is emblematic of this mixture-- and what sounds like a touch of the Clash is just right.

We Got The Ladies

2009-07-15T10:21:00.001-07:00

This week at GRAVITY we have a special guest from Santiago, Chile fresh off of her American debut performance with WALE a month ago. Who is she?

"Full of aggressive beats, explosive sampling and social protest lyrics, Valentina Fel is the most logical evolution of a riot girl - punk almost in the realm of grime, do-it-yourself attitude with dancehall as a commodity and flamenco-injected defiance. Her long-awaited upcoming debut -to be release in the next few months - promises to be a massive earthquake in the dance floor that nobody could anticipate."

It's been a month since The Brooklyn Bounce blessed you with 2 floors of our brand of music at Deity. After the BK Hip Hop festival in June, Daniela blessed the dance floor. It's only right that we have her back again.

2009-07-07T13:20:00.000-07:00

SCOTTIE B will be our guest this week @ GRAVITY. Scottie hails from Dhundee's hometown of Baltimore and will definitely bring the B-More dance vibe with him as he done on traacks for Lil'Wayne, M.I.A * Santogold. Check out some tracks HERE.

takes place @ Santos Party House every Wednesday night @ 11PM.

Independence Day in BK w/ BDK

2009-07-02T11:55:00.000-07:00

In preparation for the Independence Day Edition of The Brooklyn Bounce, we'd like to shed light on a BK Legend and Icon. BIG DADDY KANE.

One of the most influential hip hop artists ever, Kane paved the way for The Notorious B.I.G. and Jay-Z, two greats who adopted the persona Big Daddy created - the smooth hustler, street cypher, party rocker MC. Check out this 17 minute documetary on the Brooklyn Legend.

Gravity @ Santos Kicks off July 1st

2009-06-25T08:03:00.000-07:00

AN EXPLORATION AND CELEBRATION OF UNDERGROUND DANCE MUSIC

A New York DJ is truly excelling when he surpasses simply mixing tunes and successfully reveals the soul of the city. Multi-talents Dhundee and Stimulus can each boast this measure of musical ability. Both producers, composers and crowd-movers with eclectic tendencies, they undeniably feel the pulse of their environment and enhance it with their sounds. GRAVITY, their new Wednesday night weekly residency at Santos, will shatter categorizations of underground dance music making for a night that is as much an exploration as it is a celebration.

Gravity fills the space at Santos every Wednesday, starting July 1.

Fusing sub-genres into a cohesive whole, Gravity is the sexiest party NY is aching for, bringing the summer sounds of the street and filling both floors of santos with everything electronic from dubstep to grime, electro, dirty disco, drum and bass, blacktronica ghetto tech, broken beat, house and hip hop. Gravity will be a haven for individuals who listen to an eclectic mix of underground music and a wonderland for seeking exposure to the highest level of innovation with the inclusion of a diverse set of beats.

Their Brooklyn Bounce weekly party has been heralded for this same mentality, blessing dance warriors with a mix of ghetto tech, grime, drum and bass, baile funk, broken beat, hip-hop, afrobeat, pretty much anything one could ask for. Aside from their notorious parties, Dhundee and Stimulus each have their own Podcasts with thousands of loyal listeners, and their radio show Podcast attracts approximately 13,000 listeners per month.

Gravity @ Santos Kicks off July 1st

2009-06-18T11:20:00.001-07:00

THE BROOKLYN BOUNCE started in 2006 and has been constantly growing. In an effort to make sure that music loving Brooklynites had a place to go on home base, Dhundee and Stimulus combined forces to create the BK Bounce. In 3 years, The Brooklyn Bounce has become known as a place where people can connect and dance to classics from an array of genres while being exposed to the latest and greatest. The music formula now attracts a steady stream of fans from all 5 boroughs as well as out-of-towners from other states and countries. The Brooklyn Bounce has played host to DJ luminaries Waajeed, J Period, Ge-Ology & Daz I Kue as well as musical guests Estelle & Kardinal Offishall.

The last 3 years have created a demand for more. A space for more people, more forms of music and more than just the DJ skills of the Brooklyn Bounce duo. On July 1st, Santos Playhouse and The Brooklyn Bounce will launch GRAVITY; a metaphorical party reservoir that will demolish any outline of boringness in NYC.

True to its name, Gravity will be the underlying force that pulls together today’s heaviest underground movements. Ghetto Tech, Dub Step, Dirty Disco, Broken Beat, House & Hip Hop will live under one roof and be provided by DJs, live bands and visual artists.

It makes sense that the sons of two cities (Baltimore & Brooklyn), known world-wide for creating and cultivating musical movements that innovate and inspire the sound-scape, would take on this mission with the help of New York’s reigning center of progressive night life..

WAAJEED

Yesterday I biked over to my bro's crib to test some of my latest sounds on his system. We colabo'd on a joint for my album "Looking For We" and the joint is bangin!!!
Jeed threw me some ill samples and parts and flipped them like flap jacks.
Speaking of flapjacks Jeed is def my bro when it comes down to after hour dinner session.

Looking for We - Dhundee & Waajeed - MP3@320 by Dhundee

It's always fresh to step outside your own lab and play your joints with like minded producers. We both sit in our studios for hours and days hammering out tracks and taking care of bizness. To stay up on our game as well as getting some sunshine I felt it appropriate to hop on my 2 wheel whip and slide over to my mans crib.

Dope beats and Black Slippas!
Lets keep it real yall !!!
Waajeed's one of my bro's, he's a talented producer as well as one of my inspirations in the crazy game of making music n moves...

Mos Def @ The Brooklyn Bounce

2009-06-16T07:10:00.000-07:00

In "Quiet Dog", one of the first singles from Mos' new album Ecstatic, my former junior high school mate (shout out to I.S. 383 - Phillipa Schuyler alums! welcome home John Forte) says... and I quote
"moving on the bass of Stimulus / standin' in the twilight I'm watchin him get it in / the walls are tremblin / the air is simmerin / she movin like more than the ears is listenin / Whoa Now"
So.... was that at The Brooklyn Bounce? He has been through a few times... Check out THE REMIX

2009-06-05T06:12:00.000-07:00

This remix reminds me of the symphony... cypher style track. The Renaissance by Tip is pretty tough... "Life Is Better" featuring Norah Jones features bass by RLS's own Tarus Mateen. Can't believe RLS started out with Malik Work & Stim sharing the stage with Norah when they were all in Wax Poetic together. Check Tip @ Santos tonight. Stim & Dhundee are joining the Santos team in the near future...

Get a case from Colombia

2009-05-26T12:45:00.000-07:00

I knew there was something in it besides caffeine....

'The institute examined Red Bull Cola in an elaborate chemical process and found traces of cocaine,' said Bernhard Kuehnle, head of the food safety department at the federal ministry for consumer protection.

Authorities said the cocaine levels do not pose a health threat but are not permitted in foodstuffs.

The investigation found the drink to contain a de-cocainized extract of coca leaf in the drink.

Dhundee is at APT tonight... Upstairs. Fresh beats from A-Z. Tunes to calm your red bull high and trax to get you there without assistance.
