Solo Beattape: "Gourmet Soul 2"

Another volume! More stuff from the past years, but majority from the last year. Like the first time I got bars from Twisted Artistics and Ivan Ave but also included a verse from The AbSoulJah who appeared on me and Twisted's Artistics Glimpse Of The Stealth vinyl EP. The tracks are made with different gear/methods, from sample based SP1200-beats to jams recorded directly at the spot in the DAW. I hope you'll enjoy this one as much as my first.

Co-prod: "Fredfades Remixes"

I hope you all have checked our five volumes of SP1200 "SP SHIT" beat tapes. King Underground released Fredfades + Ivan Ave "Breathe EP" on vinyl not too long ago, and are now dropping a limited edition white label vinyl with nine Fredfades remixes. Eight of those are made on the classic SP1200 and one on the MPC2000XL. I co-produced two of the tracks, and the third Oslo SP Ensemble member John Rice contributed on another. This release will be limited to 300 copies, and as the last release sold out real quick: cop these cold joints while they're hot!

Solo Beattape: "Gourmet Soul"

I decided to share some of my own stuff from the past five years. I put together a little tape of mostly instrumentals, but I also got Twisted Artistics and Ivan Ave to lay down some bars on two of the joints. Some beats are made on the SP1200, some on the MPC2000XL and some are built in my DAW with me on the Rhodes, Moog and P-Bass. Enjoy!

Co-prod: Fredfades & Ivan Ave "Breathe" EP

My homies Fredfades and Ivan Ave (former Ivy League, peep vinyl "Brains EP" and free dl "Pine Trees EP") just got a vinyl release through King Underground (UK). One side features Ivan Ave on the mic, and the B-side is straight up instrumentals beats by Fredfades. I co-produced two of the joints on the record, this is one of them:

There is a standard edition vinyl and a limited deluxe edition with a bonus 7". Get your copy before they're gone forever! If you're too late tho' it's available digitally as well...

Co-prod: Fredfades "Remixes" (free dl)

UK Recordstore KingUnderground put out dope stuff on vinyl. Oslo SP Ensemble, being cratediggers and DJs, love vinyl. Fredfades and Ivan Ave (former Ivy League, if you heard our Brains EP with him) are dropping a vinyl real soon (I also co-produced on that one). While we all wait for it, King Underground dropped this collection of Fredfades remixes! Oslo SP Ensemble members John Rice and myself co-produced a couple of joints as well. This is a free download, so be sure to cop this heat! And if you haven't downloaded the free Pine Trees EP you might as well do that as well.

On a side note, I just finished spicing up and mixing Ivan Ave's new video EP titled Portals, which you can stream/download here and peep the vids on YouTube.

Featured in SP1200 book

A brand spankin' new dope ass book about the legendary E-mu SP1200 sampler has just been released by 27sens! The SP1200 is a main ingredient in my (and of course the whole Oslo SP Ensemble's) sound and setup(s). Fredfades and me got interviewed for this book, along with some VERY respected Hip Hop producers.

This book is a must if your'e into Hip Hop, as few other machines has helped form Hip Hop as much as the very first samplers did. So kick back with a cup of whatever and read this book while blasting our SP SHIT series beat tapes!

So check the book out and get your copy!

Co-prod: Ivan Ave & Fredfades "Pine Trees" EP (free dl)

Ivan average (former Ivy League) wrote to some of Fredfades' beats, and decided to drop the outcome as a free 4 track EP. I co-produced one of the beats and also mixed the vocals.

This is quality Hip Hop for free, so be sure to download it!

Co-prod: Oslo SP Ensemble "SP SHIT Vol. 5" (free dl)

Vol. 5 description/tracklist Vol. 5 on soundcloud

Back at it again! These tapes are becoming classics to our friends, beatmakers, cratediggers and fam worldwide. Fredfades, John Rice and myself rock the SP1200 steady, and together we make quite a lot of beats! This is a collection of some of the latest we've been working on, including some remixes and an exlusive Ivan Average track (former Ivy League).

Peace and enjoy

Twisted Aristics & Deckdaddy "Glimpse Of The Stealth" EP

My main man Twisted Artistics and I have known each other since we hooked up as members of a Hip Hop act in the late 90's. We have kept on working every now and then, but lately more focused which resulted in this 7 track EP.

Put out by G'Bless Records on vinyl, with instrumentals on the B-side. Twisted holds it down lyrically and I cook up the beats and provide some cuts. The AbSouljah (Queens) and Blak Philly (Connecticut) guest appears too!

Here's one of the tracks on soundcloud.

I got plenty copies for y'all in Norway, and international buyers can get it at UGHH or via discogs.

Co-prod: Oslo SP Ensemble on "Produced In Norway 2"

Plastic Strip Press is a dope record label that puts out top quality Norwegian music in diverse genres from live dusty jazz club sets and obscure funk influenced folk music to modern Hip Hop, all put out on vinyl records.

Produced In Norway is a series showcasting talented underground producers, and that's where we come in. On this volume (Vol. 2) we was asked to contribute our stuff, and of course we did! Our side is 20 minutes containing beats ranging from cozy SP1200 jams to heated MPC bangers. Also two rap tracks featuring Ivy League (a.k.a. Ivan Average) and Dreamon (former Mista A).

You can check it out or buy it on iTunes and Spotify, but I rceomend the dope ass 2xLP Gatefold record from either online or local record dealers. I got some copies for sale!

Co-prod: "SP SHIT" Series Beat Tapes (free dl)

When both Fredfades and myself got our hands on SP1200 samplers, we instantly fell in love with the sound and fun of that beast. Instant Hip Hop sound, heavy drums hitting hard, and being forced to keep things minimalistic and tight! Together we make quite a lot of beats on it, and to share them with y'all we give you the SP Shit series beat tapes. Later on we got to know John Rice and his SP1200 skills, so naturally he got included on the tapes and as a member of the Oslo SP Ensemple.

Fredfades has very detailed descriptions + tracklists on the tapes at his blog, links provided for those interested. Now bang all volumes 1 through 4 for instant Hip Hop beats!

Vol. 1 description/tracklist - Vol. 1 on soundcloud

Vol. 2 description/tracklist - Vol. 2 on soundcloud

Vol. 3 description/tracklist - Vol. 3 on soundcloud

Vol. 4 description/tracklist - Vol. 4 on soundcloud

Co-prod: Ivy League (Ivan Ave) "The Brains EP"

This is our first EP vinyl put out through Fredfades' label Reppin Out Of Control. All SP1200 beats! Our man Ivy League (a.k.a. Ivan Ave) blessed the beats with some fine lyrics. He's definitely one of Norways illest rappers, and the outcome is rather dope. Instrumentals on the B-side too! All beats and cuts by Oslo SP Ensemble: Fredfades, me and John Rice.

Here's a DJ promo mix I did for the EP.

Both me and Fredfades still got some copies of it, so get at me!
