Champions of Sound #1 Mixtape Out Now

"Recommended mixtape, here. No, really, a mix tape--as in a DJ mix on actual cassette tape. Danny Akalepse of the great Truth & Soul Records in NYC teams with the Impala Soundscrew in Chicago to produce the first in the Champions of Sound Mix Tape series. Said champion sounds range from rare soul and funk to classic hip-hop, current boom-bap and other soulful grooviness and feature hand painted canvas cover art by Chi graf artist SLANG. Only 100 copies made--and yours when you visit the crew's weekly Sunday night Mix Tape Lounge soiree at The Owl in Chicago. But available via digital audio stream to e'rrybody." - Egotripland.com

DJ Scratch at PROPS Wed 1/23

SPECIAL GUEST ON THE SET, BROOKLYN'S OWN DJ SCRATCH (EPMD).

PROPS, we bring you culture...........

Rich Medina (Jump N Funk) and Akalepse (Truth & Soul) are obsessed with records and playing them for people. When they DJ they bring you that raw, outside the Top 40, heavy, fun, sexy, soulful and honest music they are both known and respected for. These guys are avid record collectors, each with a heavyweight stash of over 20,000+ records, so of course you're going to hear things you don't know... that is the point. But not the whole point, they play classic tunes right next to obscurities, always pushing the listening audience a little in a sincere effort to break new records and reintroduce slept on tunes simultaneously. The party they do together is called PROPS, it is a soulful music lover's paradise.
