new hip hop track "church master" gettin hypes

2010-11-30T17:04:00.000-08:00

via Columbus Alive "sensory overload" blog:

DJ Self Help has a couple tracks on the new "Midwest Connection" compilation. One is a dense yet breezy party banger called "Church Master" featuring vocals from Jungle Jim Slim and Self Help's bandmate Alleyes Manifest.

The song's flute-powered thump would go over well in the sort of stomping, neon sanctuary that pops up at the end of Outkast's "B.O.B." video. No need for controlled substances to get this hyped: "All my people in the chapel/ They feelin' it all natural". It's a good look for Alleyes, who is, after all, the son of a preacher man.

the whole comp is available for download at bandcamp

The New Mix is on Solid Steel Radio!!

2010-09-29T16:48:00.000-07:00

http://soundcloud.com/ninja-tune/solid-steel-radio-show-03-9-2010-part-1-2-dj-self-help

here's what they had to say: This week DJ Self Help’s “clusterfunk” mix is a borderline schizo blend of more genres than you can count on both hands and feet; not for the faint of heart or the closed of mind. No combination of styles is left unexplored, everything from Dancehall-Afrobeat blends to Hip Hop laced over top Brazilian chants, old Soul, noisy Electro, indie rock remixes, and a few of self help’s remixes (Dolly Parton, Bat for Lashes, The Zombies) and original beats thrown in for good measure.

Clusterfunk Mix (Summer 2010)

2010-08-19T11:12:00.000-07:00

My new mix, fast-moving and highly eclectic; dancehall, hip hop, electro, indie rock, funk, brazilian music, with a few of my original remixes and a ton of blends thrown in for good measure. Not for the one track mind, so to speak.

You can find it streaming and available for FREE download, here:
