Grey Granite x El Carnicer – Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster freEP

Grey Granite and El Carnicero’s creation Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster will be unleashed on 10/10/10:

What is a Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster?  It’s the culmination of the machinations of Grey Granite and El Carnicero over the past 6 months featuring gobs of the Butcher’s bass and stained with the Grey’s ramblings.  In the run-up to PLFBM, the evil scientists have created quite a stir with their singles “Not A Robot”, “Turn It On”, and “Get Grimey”, which have been featured on blogs like MOKB, Mostly Junk Food, Noise Porn, Rock the Dub, and White Label Nation.  These villains aren’t concerned with economic gain; you’ll be able to get your hands on Pixelated Lazer Face Bass Monster today, October 10, 2010 for FREE!

Over the past couple of years, Grey Granite has consistently distinguished himself from other vocalists by perpetually reinventing his style and jumping on anything that catches his interest.  Starting with his legendary Amplifies the Killers project to his recent immaculate album Lust Poisons Pride, Grey has been one of the few artists in the Midwest to successfully go left and follow his sonic dreams. His creativity has recently garnered the support of Kick Kick Snare, Ruby Hornet, Loyal KNG, Noise Porn, Nuvo, and Musical Family Tree and several other media outlets.  Now with his partner J. Brookinz, the duo have launched Heavy Gun Recordings and are beginning next portion of their journey.

The man behind the crazy production on PLFBM is the one an only El Carnicero.  El Carnicero aka the Butcher aka Aaron Berg has been solidifying his name as master of heavy bass for the past several years.  In the mid 2000s as grime was making it’s way across the Atlantic to the States, El Carnicero teamed up with Philly based producers Starkey and Dev79 to form the now infamous Slit Jockey Records.  In the past, the Butcher has produced tracks for Doodlebug of Digable Planets, Warrior Queen, and RikoDan of the Roll Deep Crew.  Beyond his recent work with Grey, Aaron is currently working on a new project with New York rapper Elucid entitled CapricornOne.

Atlantic Connection – Music 4 Travelers EP

Being the generous fellow that he is, Atlantic Connection decided to give away a chill little 4 track EP that fits in somewhere between nujazz, liquid funk, and downtempo … seriously, I am not really sure how to classify it.  If you dig his production and the rest of the WestBay sound, then you are definitely going to love this.
