CRR001 - On The Corner Vol. 1 - OUT NOW!!!




EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION THROUGH SECTOR MEDIA BROOKLYN NYC.

Once upon a time in a borough not so far away...

Endlessly walking the streets, on one of those hot-as-hell summer days in Brooklyn. You pause on the corner, to catch your breath, only to have an old box of records catch your eye. Your fingers start to gather dust as you rifle through dozens of 12”s with names like Strictly Rhythm, Nu Groove, Mad House, Henry Street and Loop D'Loop on the labels. As you reach the end of your frenzied search, one unassuming piece of wax, in particular, seems to mysteriously peek your interest...

On The Corner Vol. 1: the debut release for the Brooklyn NYC based Cortelyou Road Recordings. Featuring the works of Red Rack'em (Smugglers Inn, Bergerac), James Duncan (Le Systeme, Real Soon), Alex Agore (4lux, Royal Oak) and Native Sound (Soul People Music, Minuendo).

This the first in a series of compilations forthcoming, in the near future, from Cortelyou Road that will leave no stone unturned in their search for the deepest sonic creations from around the globe...

Now available at a record store near you!

Alex Agore - Pop House with Vocals and Stuff and Bass and Yeah! (Mix)



Stunning mix compiled and skillfully blended by the track genius Alex Agore. The mix is a classy affair, so you might want to think about dusting off that tux and popping that bottle of Dom that's been chillin' that's been in the back of your fridge since last New Years...

Check out this and much, much more dopeness on Mr. Agore's soundcloud...

DJ Premier's Thunderstorm



D·J Pre·mier - "Christopher Edward Martin (born March 21, 1966 in Houston, Texas), better known by his stage name DJ Premier (also known as Preem, Premo, or Primo for short), is an American record producer and DJ, and was the instrumental half of the hip hop duo Gang Starr, together with the late MC Guru. Born and raised in Houston, he has lived in Brooklyn, New York, for much of his professional career. Rolling Stone magazine identified Premier as arguably Hip Hop's greatest producer of all time." (Source Wikipedia)

What more can you say about this man? A living legend. Not only one of the greatest icons in the history of the Hip Hop movement, but possibly one of the greatest musical minds in the history of modern music.

The Thunderstorm Radio Show aired during one of the true golden ages of hip hop, the mid-90s (some argue the greatest era), on WBLS 107.5FM. A testament to his brilliance, the Thunderstorm, showcases Primo's flawless wizardry on the wheels of steel, as well as, his truly uncanny ear for that dope beat...

Three choice selections below, check out these and much, much more dopeness on DJ Premier's MixCloud. Also keep an eye on Preemo's latest by bookmarking the Official DJ Premier Blog. Word on the street (aka the internet) is that Preem is collaborating on a new album with, the one and only, Pete Rock!!!
