Biography of De La Soul:
In 1987, a trio known as De La Soul formed from Long Island, NY roots and changed the landscape of hip-hop as we knew it. Now, for over 20 years they have rocked us with their De La songs full of inscrutable samplings, whimsically irreverent lyrics, social commentary, light rhythm and laid back rhymes. They have gained respect within and outside the hip hop community with their contributions to rap, as well as jazz, funk, soul and alternative genres. Not only are their musical innovations acclaimed and respected worldwide, but they paved a path for many alternative rap groups to come after them.De La Soul formed while the trio – Kelvin Mercer (Posdnous, Plug One, Plug Wonder Why, Mercenary), David Jude Jolicoeur (Trugoy the Dove, Plug Two, Dave), and Vincent Mason (P.A. Pasemaster Mase,Plug Three, Maseo) – attended high school in the late 1980’s. As a group their stage names reflected the same whimsy they brought to their rhymes. Through backward spelling of Mercer’s nickname as a high school DJ “Sound-Sop” became Posdnous and Trugoy was derived from Jolicoeur’s favorite food –yogurt. Mason noted in an early interview that Pasemaster was the DJ and Mase wasn’t simply a nickname, but an acronym for “Making A Soul Effort”. 
The group soon caught the attention of producer Paul “Prince Paul” Huston (of local rap group Stetsasonic) with a demo tape of the song “Plug Tunin’”. He played the tape colleagues on New York’s rap scene, and soon De La Soul signed with Tommy Boy…(more @ yoshis.com)

Dizz1 Live Demo @ 301 Studios Sydney (via dizz1)

Gotta love this dude for shootin back replies in the comments

So for the curious:
He’s running Ableton Live 8 alongside a TTM57, a Korg NanoKey and an Akai MPD 32.

No Bridge just yet, but instead he’s using two sound cards—one as the 57 powering Serato, and the other, a MOTU Ultralite powering Ableton. A better rig than what I was trying to accomplish.

The question is, how is his CPU handling it? Nosaj Thing fell victim to overheating last year at a performance in San Jose, but quickly recovered later that week, so you would figure simultaneously running the two programs would pose twice the risk for the touring performer.

A word to the wise: Buy a laptop fan.  Those venues can be hot as fuck sometimes.

I originally started this mix as another way to promote some remixes I made. Computer issues stopped the progress half way, so I’m releasing the first half.

“Side A” is 30+ minutes of some classic joints from Flying Lotus, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Aceyalone, Little Dragon, and Jay Electronica among others mixed with my own exclusive remixes (download them at: http://lmntal.bandcamp.com enter $0 if you want them for free)

Nothing really new, but a new way of listening to some classics.
