SciFi Stu "The Will" Digi-12 now available! SciFi Stu presents THE WILL + THE TOUCH Digi-12 featuring guests emcee's Vast Aire (Cannibal Ox), 4th Place (Ill Poetix) and Jon Wayne and produced by SciFi Stu. Released digitally today on Domination Recordings | Advantage Music Group (AMG).
Scotland-born, Edinburgh-based hip hop producer SciFi Stu releases his fresh new single THE WILL on 26th Jan 2010. Endorsed by highly regarded New York hip hop radio veteran DJ Ready Cee, SciFi has recruited MC Vast Aire of the classic underground hip hop crew Cannibal Ox to head up rhyming duty. The track also features 4th Place of respected New Jersey rap group Ill Poetix and emerging LA rapper Jonwayne.
Growing up in the 1990s, SciFi enjoyed the 'golden era' hip hop sound and has taken those classic elements and added his own twist to title track THE WILL. The second track on the single is The Touch which has been featured on mixtapes and radio shows around the world and its production has been compared to the 1990s Wu-Tang sound.
THE WILL is a taste of the SciFi sound, with an album set to follow in early 2010 on Domination Recordings and SciFi's own Advantage Music Group imprint. The long-player will feature a cast of US and UK hip hop talent assembled by SciFi, including Remarkable Mayor, Tha Connection, Ill Poetix, (Beat Fanatic) Spon, 7even:Thirty, Prolifical, Sound 0, Jon Wayne and many more.
The Nope "Melba" now available!! THE NOPE. Torch & Psy. It's what happens when rappers from opposite coasts link up and happily trash everything in their way. Psy (from Toronto 's "Oddities" collective) and Torch (from gawd knows where) have re-revolutionized free thought over a bunch of lovely tracks supplied by none other than Moka Only (from Vancouver's famed band, "Moka Only"). The Nope give serious ponderance to the preponderance of things such as religion, McDonalds, girls (both the sex & relationships that are had with them), rap, rain, stress, fortitude, gas, and all things mental. Some would say life is incomplete without the Nope. They are nitwits. Join them, and immerse yourself in an environment that won't judge you....much. MELBA.
Tracklisting: 1. Y'all Hear? 2. Yeah! 3. Where the Chorus Goes... 4. Nopefolk Goh feat. Ishkan 5. It's Because I Don't Have Not Much 6. Balls 'N Brains 7. Gonnado 8. Let's Do Lunch 9. Dada 10.

Sound Like Treach 21. Gas 22. *Bonus* Yo Chuck (Original Nope Track - 2002)
Critical Madness "Bringing Out the Dead" now available! Critical Madness (cRITICAL + Madness) is the combination of 2 legendary battle vets who originally met in the Orlando hip-hop scene and eventually partnered up after competing for the same crown in the final round of numerous open mic freestyle tournaments. What started as a couple of CM tracks has now manifested into their debut album "Bringing Out The Dead", released through Domination Recordings which features collaborations with Slaughterhouse front man Joell Ortiz as well as Sabac Red, Young Zee, long-time collaborator Little Vic and others. Covering the production side, TEMPERMENTAL produced the bulk of the LP with TzariZM adding his own brand of sickness to the stew. Marco Polo and DC the MIDI alien also contributed to the soon-to-be classic. "BOTD" covers everything from the politics down to pornography using clever lyricism & unique wordplay over infectious melodies laced with some boom bap. It is the experience of a lifetime and gives a slight peek into the influences that created this mind bending duo.

Moka Only "Martian Xmas 2009" now available!! Seasons Greetings... This is my sixth edition of the Martian Xmas series. I feel that over the last few years of doing this annual project I have developed a certain continued vibe that is set apart from my other album releases. Martian Xmas was never intended to be a 'standard Xmas' album per se but more so an excursion into the sounds of north American winter during the holiday period... at least that's how I see it and intend it to be. The whole "Martian" thing originated on the first album of the series as the outlook of a displaced alien that arrives on earth during the holidays to learn and understand what the fuss is about and pledges to return annually to add his contributions. I think this concept may have been ignited by a little known Xmas cartoon special that I viewed as a child entitled 'a cosmic Christmas' In which three alien visitors arrive on earth to determine what the 'true meaning' of Christmas was and how they could "measure it". They befriend an outcast boy and his pet goose who shows the three visitors around town and eventually home to his lower income family. The aliens are sworn not to interfere with the human condition but have a change of heart when the opportunity to save a drowning neighborhood troublemaker occurs and thus discover the true meaning of Xmas in forgiveness, community and family.
Anyhow back to the music. I will say this: The Martian Xmas album series has evolved from a literal definition of a visiting Martian into a permant earth dweller who simply feels alienated and uses the music as his main means to even connect with the rest of the world. And that's me! And as I was touching on before, I’m not sampling from well known Xmas songs nor am I doing covers. This is something different altogether... And that's valid...because afterall, who is to really say what constitutes as Xmas music? And I use a secular approach with the words and content. Lyrically with this series I try to paint a patchwork of scenes, some abstract and some literal which entail everything from Xmas shoppers, last minute holiday preparations, family, friends, the weather and of course Jazz and speaking of which, listeners who are accustomed to the Moka Only catalog will notice a heavier jazz presence on this years Martian Xmas as I have culled together a few talented and notable individuals whom originate from jazz backgrounds to add their touch to this project. Also I am very excited to help introduce the work of Sean O'Hagan of the incomparable British avant-pop group The High Llamas' to my audience. This group has been instrumental in partially reshaping my scope of music making. I am also pleased to introduce to the world a new talent on the boards, a beatmaker by the name of Jules Chaz of Victoria, BC who comes from a jazz drumming background. I foresee great things for his future. So to conclude my view on the project I would just like to say that I hope I have encapsulated a feeling of the holiday period that people from any background and/or walk of life or denomination can attain something from as this music is directly culminated from my holiday time experiences since childhood. I a very proud to bring you the 2009 edition of Martian Xmas. Special thanks to the forward thinking label Domination Recordings and Urbnet Communications for taking a chance with a left-field release as such. - Moka Only
