New drop from Atari Blitzkrieg, The Moments That Unfold Before Me In Life, featuring production by Krohme, Hidden Beatz, Speech (of Arrested Development), Jazz Spastiks, DJ A.I., myself & Digital Fiend. With guest appearances by Walt Elson, Speech & Breez Evahflowin.
100% of the sales go to benefit the victims affected by the earthquake in Japan and tsunami throughout the Pacific. So go cop it!
After 2 EP’s and a successful mixtape in the last 2 years alone, brace yourself for the Bloody Monk Consortium’s Official LP debut on Johnny 23 records. Already regarded as an instant underground classic, BMC plows through the scene taking it back to the essence of that golden era of 90′s battle hip hop with a refreshing taste of pure raw talent over heart pounding production. Lyricists Leeroy Deestroy and LABAL-S show no remorse chopping down track after track by producer Lex Luger and others. Guest appearances by: LoDeck, Pacewon, C-Rayz Walz, (PH)Pumpkinhead, 2ugli, Damo and more!
I made one beat on there, track 15, called Shrink’s 3rd Eye feat. Pacewon & 2UGLi (check the vid below). You can grab the album on CD from BMC’s homepage, and digitally via iTunes.
I kicked off a new project of mine the other day called Introverse. It will be a combined photography and music project, at a ratio of around 5 photos per beat; it will be an EP of ~8 songs. No deadline set yet, but I will set one once I’ve gotten the first couple of beats off the ground, that way I know how long it might take to get this thing done. The photography is already on the way and I got two of them more or less done at the moment which I’ll attach below. As for the theme of this thing.. well you’ll have to wait and see.. I divulge nothing!
Update: The free downloads on bandcamp has run out, more will be available in a couple of weeks. Nothing I can do about it. So if you want any of the albums on there you’ll have to spend a few quid.

So December 21st has arrived and as promised here’s Page One, my latest collection of beats and oddities.
You can grab it for free over at magowl.bandcamp.com.
This is a selection of beats from the last year, year and a half, or so. Some are entries from the LouisDen beatbattles (www.louisden.com), so if you’re keeping tabs you might have heard a few. But on the other hand there are others on here that should be new to any and all.
The lot was produced by me, magOwl, using Renoise (www.renoise.com) aided by the old Ensoinq EPS 16+, the Boss SP-303 and a healthy amount of vinyl.
Go get it, listen, enjoy, tell a friend!
I’ll be dropping a spanking new beattape called Page One in a week and a half or so, it will be available on my bandcamp on the 21st of December.
Keep an eye out!
Peace.
Blame One’s new joint called Endurance dropped digitally today, I got two beats on there (track 4 & 13). It is available from most digital stores, but here’s a link to iTunes & Bandcamp… Go buy the album! You can preview it to your hearts content over at bandcamp if you wanna check it out before making a purchase.
I have to say it’s a very good album, which shouldn’t come as any surprise for those of you who already know Blame’s work. If you don’t and you like proper hiphop, go check it out, you won’t be disappointed.
I’ll probably get on this post and add a few more words and thoughts a little later, but now I got work to do, so….
Peace
Breez addresses his contemplative and final CD to the mature listeners he knows to be out there, and who have followed him through the years. This listener exists on the margins. Ignored by a music industry focused on gimmicky hooks and made up personalities, they find their music in the underground clubs, the pages of myspace, and videos on youtube. This sophisticated audience is perhaps the greatest untapped audience of hip-hop today, and they seek music more in tune with their age and experience.
Free Download: As He Goes On (album sampler)
This 15-track album features guest appearances from L.I.F.E. Long, Dirt E Dutch, Homeboy Sandman, Rob Swift, Immortal Technique and more with production provided by Dr Butcher, Davey Tree, DJ Static, Dirt E Dutch just to name a few. – Littleax
I got one beat on this one called Wind, it’s track four on the CD.
And I gotta say that I’m very happy to be on this release as I’ve been a fan of Breez ever since the Forsaken ”12 back in the mid 90s. And while I’m sad to see him go, you gotta do what you feel is right. Thanks for all the years of music brother! All the best to you and your family going forward!
There are several places to get your hands on this, either in CD form or digital, if you prefer that. I’ll just link a couple for you, but I’m sure you’ll find it in your usual spot… Go buy it!

On 10.10.10, I released Perfect Blue (some spots released it early but 10.10.10 is the date I designated), a tribute EP dedicated to the late Satoshi Kon, those of you familiar with anime will immediately recognize his name.
On August 24, pancreatic cancer ended the life of one of the most influential directors of our time, upon hearing the news, I immediately decided to create a project dedicated to him. The songs highlight some of the ideas found within his work but also includes my own political and moral statements, all done to help benefit cancer research. I have reached a point in my career where I would rather use the additional income I receive from music to help aid those who require it much more than I do and for personal reasons, I choose to focus more on Cancer-based charities than others.
The cover revolves around a distorted vision of Mima I replicated and then digitally destroyed to create a replication of a scrambled TV image as I wanted the album to play as a mini-film. I reached out to producers whose work I respect, magOwl, Moka Only, DJ A.I., Blockhead, Jazz Spastiks, Digital Fiend & Dr. Quandary. Due to a conflict, the original Blockhead produced version of Exclamation Corpse won’t be on the project but the rework by DJ A.I. takes on a life of it’s own as do all of the tracks. Each producer bring their own style to the EP, and it flows seamlessly.
Whether you choose to pay for the project or obtain a copy for free, I highly recommend you donate to the charity I will be giving all sales to, St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. It all starts with our children and I want to make sure we keep that cycle going. – Atari Blitzkrieg
I did the first tune on there called An Evening In Tokyo feat. Fuca Chan. Which is also the first single.
You can have a listen, and buy it, on amazon or iTunes, and make sure you check out the official release page over at Ataris site where you can grab the single for free.
Also you can buy the t-shirt here.
As Atari said.. all sales will go directly St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, so spend a few quid on it alright, it’s worth it!
Peace.
Debut Album from ‘Unusual Suspects’ Freddie Cruger and Lord Measle. Is a dark outlook on future culture within a dystopian society, where the antagonist lyricists rap over banging hip hop beats from Ill Bill producer Al’tarba as well as Colonel Mustard, DJ Kryptonite, MagOwl & Tim Crosbie. With 17 tracks ridden with lyrics and topics that are hard to stomach the album is very grim and far from an uplifting listen.
The album features some of the UK’s finest lyrical heavyweights Rhyme Asylum, Reain and Lee Scott of Blah Records. As well as the legendary Bizarre of Eminem’s group D12 and underground veteran Jak Progresso from J23. – ushiphop
I got a beat on this, it’s the last track on the video sampler below, it’s called ‘Men Behind The Sun’ and is featuring Jakprogresso of J23.
You can download the sampler & buy yourselves a copy of the album right here!
