10-23-04: UPDATE: CHAMBERMUSIK IS BANGIN'

For those not in the know, G-Clef launched Chambermusik Radio only 2 months ago, and already the project is climbing beyond expectations. With well over 1,000 listeners, the radio station has done live interviews with such Wu-Fam as Islord (Killarmy), Dom Pachino (Killarmy), and Big Al BRB (Gza Entertainment), and is growing daily in listenership. Chambermusik Store now stocks not only all Yalloppin/Soulkid product, but also independent Wu-Fam such as 9th Prince, Killa Priest, 71 Raw, Allah Real, Falling Down, Tragedy Khadafi, Ruthless Bastards, King Just, DJ Storm, and soon to add many more. The main site features these and other elements, which are coming together to form a vast online "Killa Beehive" for all Independent Wu-Affiliated artists to deal directly with their fans on the web. Another main feature is our new message board, created in cooperation with thawunewz.com, which within only a week, already has about 400 newly subscribed members, and all the latest Wu-Gossip that's fit to post.

10-23-04: G-CLEF JAZZ TRIO PLAYS EVANESCENCE?

Soulkid Records is proud to announce the second in a series of "cover albums" featuring the saxophone talents of G-Clef showcased front and center as the bearer of the melodic line. This time, we not only hear from jazz guitarist William Ash, but from Yalloppin' Hounds' bassist Peter Hartmann as well in this intimate, yet space-aged jazz trio format. The idea of a jazz trio performing the music of pop-metal band Evanescence may seem strange to some, but hardly to those at all familiar with the risk-taker himself, G-Clef at the boards. "Despite some overdubbing, and production, this is still essentially a pure jazz trio album. No instruments have been added other than guitar, acoustic bass, and alto saxophone." explains the Mad Komposa himself. To hear clips from the album or to buy it now, go here.

 

10-23-04: INFAMOUS: PRESSURE EP RELEASED

G-Clef has finally released the final installment from the Soul Kid Vault; the music of Infamous Mr. Savage aka Doc Dave Banner. The battle-styled emcee was first heard on Mortal Combat, the SKK's first commercially released 12 single. He was the first emcee on the record who set it off with "Who be dat ill nigga creeping thru the jungle?" This EP's contents include various demos and songs recorded while the Klik was involved with Gza Entertainment, in the Golden Era of the Wu-Tang Clan circa 1996. Several of these beats were solicited for Gza's Liquid Swords LP, but were replaced by beats by the Rza, forming the classic album that the world now remembers as history. Perhaps history worked out for the best, as these songs are blessed by Infamous' incredible lyrical stylings throughout this EP, perhaps to show and prove G-Clef had not lost any ground giving these beats to Infamous instead! Infamous told G-Clef in 1996, "Fuck it, I will tear them shits apart!" And so, now, after all these years, we can finally hear him do it with the "Pressure". Included on this record is the "Desperate Times" B-Side tribute to Notorious B.I.G. by Infamous called "Ten Mack Commandments". To hear samples of this dope, classic EP go here.

Anime and Video Games are more often becoming valid modes for artistic expression in the area of music. Composer/Producer G-Clef da Mad Komposa and his band Rayzd embark on perhaps the first serious interpretation of some of Otaku culture's best music, most notably Japanese composer Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop/Escaflowne), as well as others. A Landmark project featuring many different instrumentations, even two Big Band tracks! The album is available in the following online stores:
Soulkid Records, CDbaby.com, and Amazon. Please support us in our very daring endeavor: to be different.
