Stamp Out Reality (Nov 6)

2009-10-19T01:53:00.000-07:00

"Stamp Out Reality" offers a diverse mix of styles and moods that reflects perfectly where Marc, the pioneering hip-hop DJ, and Jim, the classical trained jazz pianist, are coming from and where they are heading to. Classic hip-hop joints with Mr. Lif and Mr. Complex are sitting right next to the madness of porn-funk godfather Blowfly and the latin-tingled future jazz of Malena Perez from NY. Marc and Jim pay hommage with cover versions of the b-boy classic "The Mexican" and the 80s electro smasher "Al Naafiysh" while keeping the breaks intact with floor-shakers like "Wah-Wah-Wah".

RARE OCCASION (Oct 23) - Presale

2009-10-19T01:38:00.000-07:00

Marc Hype & Jim Dunloop – Rare Occasion / Al Naafiysh 12" (Oct 23). Pre-sale on our webstore is on!
The limited double a-side DJ 12" will hit the stores on Oct 23. "Rare Occasion" is a latin flavoured jazz dance monster feat. Malena Perez (New York / Berlin) and not your typical Marc & Jim jam at all. Beware of the funk flute and the epic remix from Kid Gusto (Tru Grooves, Washington DC).
"Al Naafiysh (The Soul)" pays tribute to one of THE defining electro-tracks by Hashim. Marc & Jim re-build the classic in true stamp-out fashion.

Weekend Post

Word up! The last weekend was crazy allover! First we went to Hamburg, Club Moondoo on the Hamburg's famous Reeperbahn. It just happened to be the nationwide Harley Davidson Weekend and you could see the Hellfire Machines All City... + the usual Reeperbahn madness... the Moondoo Club was incredibly nice, unique concept, great hotel and all that... pure fun! Afrika Islam aka Charlie Funk spun with us at this night for his 1st residency Bday Bash and it was a blast!

The next day was scheduled to be the Miami Bass and Old School night in Berlin's Cassiopeia featuring the legendary Mr Mixx of the 2 Live Crew!! The party was just crazy!! Straight up Miami Bass and Old School Hip Hop, Funk & some weird Clubtunes + the usual Michael Jackson Medleys (like allover he world right now)... f.....g awesome!!
