hu will go to chicane?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

IM GOING BUT...I WILL BE A k*ll JOY WITH GIRLS...I WILL BE CONCENTRATING ON CHICANE'S SET OF MIXES...SORI..

HEY HITMAN..ITS SAD TO HEAR WHEN YOU LOOK DOWN AT THOSE AMATEUR DJ'S BACK THEN...

DJ'S HAVE TO START SOMEWHERE..PAUL VAN DYKE STARTED AS AN AMATEUR IN BERLIN AND ALSO WITH TIESTO ...AS I SED WE SHOULD SUPPORT THE SCENE ..NOT THE FILIPINO CRAP THING OK...

ITS JUST MUSIC...

ANYWAYS ...FYI..89 DMZ..WAS OWNED OR SEQUESTERED BY THE GOVERMENT..IT BELONGED TO THE MARCOS PEEPS BEFORE..THEN QUEST BROADCASTING ACQUIRED IT.

THE PROBLEM WITH RADIO IS GENERATING INCOME...SALES..SALES..SALES...

AND ONE OF MY PEEPS JUST TOLD ME DAYS AGO THAT BLAZIN 105.9 THE ONLY HIP HOP STATION IN METRO MANILA IS VIRTUALY OWN NOW BY THE GUITAR MAN RJ JACINTO'S RAJA BROADCASTING..

BLAZIN HAS A PROBLEM WITH SALES...

BEING UNDERGROUND RADIO I THINK ITS IMPOSSIBLE UNLESS YOU ARE TONY COQUANCO WHO OWNS DREAM FM.

COME TO THINK OF IT..IF YOUR RADIO BROADCASTS 24 HOURS WITH A THE POWER OUTPUT OF 50000 WATTS!!!, CAN YOU FIGURE IT OUT HOW MUCH MERALCO WILL CHARGE YOU?

HEHEHEHEHE..THAT WHY RADIO STATION DIES...WHEN THERE'S NO SALES...

I DONT THINK WE CAN EXPECT MORE WITH 107.9...AS I HAVE SED...THIER SIGNAL COVERAGE IS ONLY THE CAVITE TAGAYTAY AREA...THEY HAVE NO RIGHT IN MANILA...

BUT I WILL SUPPORT THEM...

I JUST WISH THEY WILL SOUND LIKE RADIO ONE..IN LONDON...

I also hope 107.9 Underground Radio does not go the way of 89DMZ of the 1990s.

 

89DMZ degenerated into over-commercialized dance music which were cheap remixes of pop songs and amateur DJs and wannabe DJs.

 

It was sold off in 1999 I think.  It's now Wave 89.1 which has the same owner as Jam 88.3, Magic 89.9, 94.7 Mellow Touch, 103.5 K-Lite and 99.5RT

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

where is that store? 

 

guys i caught something on mtv. it was a local track made by dj house (i think).

it was catchy and funny 'cause it sampled dialogue from an old 70's gloria diaz film. nice.

 

does anyone have more info on this?

 

tubong pinoy kasi  :cool:

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

OH ANO..YATA ANG TITLE NAKITA KO SA TOWER AT NARINIG KO SA RT...THAT DJ WHO REMIXED THAT SONG IS REALLY GOOD AND CREATIVE...HEHEHEHE

BY THE WAY...I QUITE BUYING CD'S WHEN NIRVANA CAME OUT..I BUY VINYL , DOWNLOAD MP3'S AND BORROW CD' AND WILL NEVER RETURN IT..

THERE WAS I TIME WHEN I WAS DJIN IN A RADIO STATION..AND THERE WAS THESE SUPER YAMAN NA PHIL AMERICAN AT PINARINIG NILA SA AKIN ONE OF THE FIRST UNITED DJ'S OF AMERICA IT WAS 1998 I GEZ..AND I ASK THEM IF I CAN BORROW IT? THEY SED SURE..I BORROWED IT ..BUT NEVER RETURNED IT...EVENTUALLY IT WAS STOLEN BY ANOTHER CD..

DONT BUY CD..DOWNLOAD OR BORROW NALANG...I ONLY BUY VINYL....

AT THERES A GOOD VINYL STORE SA ILALIM NG MAKATI CINEMA SQAURE..MGA LUMA PERO OK..FOR SAMPLING PURPOSES...

gees, 2nd format na pala nila to'. d ko alam yun ah. i seldom listen to radio stations kc lately. puro HIP HOP KC. but i really don't have a problem with thIS  kind of music. i'M  just not really a big fan.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

really you wanna work in a radio station?

I WAS NOT REALLY A PART HERE IN THE METRO DWKC..BUT I WAS IN THE PROVINCE IN ONE OF THE NETWORKS STATION..MAN..I WAS PLAYIN HIP HOP JAMS WEEKNIGHTS 7-8PM...AND ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS I WAS PLAYING SUM CLUB STUFF..THAT WAS THE THE TIME I WAS REALLY HOPING THAT PEOPLE WILL REALLY APPRECIATE THE CLUB CULTURE...

BIG BONE..IF YOU KNOW SUM STUFF ABOUT AUDIO EDITING OR REMIXING..I CAN RECOMMEND YOU TO OUR HONCHO...

AND ONE THING I NOTICED IF YOU WORK IN A RADIO AS A DJ "SPINNER" ITS TOTALLY DIFFERENT IN THE CLUB ...COZ IN THE RADIO ITS MORE LIKE YOU CANT SEE YOUR CROWD DANCE..AND YOU WOULDNT KNOW IF THAT PARTICULAR HIT WILL CLICK TO THEM...SO ..I MUST SAY ...I STILL REALLY RESPECT THOSE GUYS WHO DO MOBILE AND CLUB DJ'ING..HEHEHEHEHE..

REGARDING 107.9 ..I DONT THINK WILL HAV TO INCREASE THEIR POWER..AS I HAV SED ..THEY HAD PROBLEMS WITH NU ROCK 107 AND THE NTC...THEIR PERMIT IS ONLY FOR CAVITE OR TAGAYTAY..

AND ONE TIP IF YOU WANNA WORK IN THE RADIO...START AS A SALES EXUTIVE...COZ EVERYTHING IN RADIO ALWAYS ENDS IN SALE...HEHEHEHEH..BUT ME..I STARTED AS A PRODUCER THEN I WAS MIXIN..HEHEHEHEH..A BOSS SPOTTED ME WHEN I WAS SPINNING A REMIXED VERSION OF "HEY BY FATIMAH SUMTIN..GEE I FORGET THAT B'S FAMILY NAME" SO HE ASKED ME, ARE YOU THE ONE WHO REMIXED THAT SONG..AND I REPLIED "YEP"..AND HE INVITED ME FOR HIS TEAM..AND THE REST WAS HISTORY..HEHEHEHEH..

SO BIG BONER..KEEP UP THE DREAMS..LIVE IT UP..

i bet my puppy..oasis, blur , cold play and radio head..will be gone like limp biskit..let it be..let it be

beatles...though i havent witnessed those days.

I didn't know 107.9 is back on the air...

 

Their all hip-hop and R&B format failed.

 

And I think they're broadcasting from Cavite, so the signal is noticeably weaker than other FM stations based in Metro Manila

 

I'll check it out later

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I GEZ ITS NOT THE FORMAT..ITS THE MARKETING PEOPLE..HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHE

i agree with you mite, Kulay way back then was edgy when it comes to their music and their were one of pioneer when it comes to making great videos for their music.

 

I wonder if you can still recall Passage's album. It was called "THE DISCO PROJECT"- a full lenght dance album. Sayang lang di na nasundan. The video of the single, SOMEWHERE IN BETWEEN, was also great! I still have that album.

 

Hey, I heard a song this morning on my way to Makati,  in a cab, an OPM HOUSE SONG. The lyrics were in tagalog and recited and not sung. The lyrics were like a conversation between a  lady and a guy and asking her out on date. I WAS REALLY THRILLED LISTENING TO IT WITH ITS 4X4 BEAT. DO YOU KNOW THE ARTIST? I DO HOPE THIS WILL SPARK A TREND!

 

Check out also 107.9 FM === a new all dance electronica LOCAL radio STATION. Last Saturday, they were spinning pure ELECTRO HOUSE! AWESOME.

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

HEY DJ BONER..

OH NGA PASSAGE BAND!!! THAT WAS REALLY A COOL DANCE MUSIC MTV TOO!! ITS LIKE THE VIDEO NOW OF THE REMIXED " SELFISH BY THE OTHER TWO."

ILL CHECKED WHICH SONG WAS THAT...(OPM 4x4)

I WORK IN A RADIO STATION NOW...THAT WAS 93.9KCFM

BUT IM MORE IN THE CREATIVE DEPARTMENT...(AND WE ARE NOT PLAYING HOUSE)

THAT STATION I GEZ IS POWER 108...THEY WERE WARNED REGARDING SIGNAL COVERAGE BY THE NTC OR THE USED TO BE COOL HOME OF 107 NUROCK PEEPS COMPLAINT AGAINST

THEM...(CAVITE IS NOT PART OF MANILA..HEHEHEHE)HEHEHEHE......THERE FORMAT WAS HIP HOP ....AND WAS FUNNY COZ THEY SOUNDED LIKE LA'S POWER 106...AND IT WAS GREAT...COZ MY DJ FRIEND IN PASEDANA USED TO SENT ME SUM HOUSE MIXED TAPE FROM THAT US STATION..IT WAS REALLY GOOD HOUSE MUSIC COZ IT WAS MORE LIKE LATIN HOUSE..OH YA RICHARD "HUMPTY" VISION THAT DJ...MAN THAT WAS LIKE 1995...IM THAT OLD..ANYWAYS..

IF 107.9 IS A DANCE MUSIC STATION NOW...WE SHOULD SUPPORT THEM...

Listen mostly to Hed Kandi like Beach House, Winter Chill, Base Ibiza, some Mocheeba, Groove Armada and Sneaker Pimps. Right now I'm looking for a local group also from Terno Records (same guys that produced Up, Dharma, Down, Radioactive Sago Project and Juan Pablo Dream). I saw their MTV a couple of months ago. The groups name is Drip, more on trip hop sila like Bjork.

 

Btw, if you want to dl some great Hed Kandi tracks, go to Metrowalk along Meralco ave. there's a shop there that would install the tracks to your iPod. Forgot lang how muchpero might as well try it out.

FILIPINO DJS OF THE BAY AREA

[Why Are They So Successful?]

By Dave 'Davey D' Cook

portions of this article first appeared in Rap Dot Com Magazine in July '94.

reprinted and re-edited in October '95

Back in 1993 during the New Music Seminar's DJ Battle For World Supremacy, a packed house erupted as Ceaser Aldea wrecked shop and shocked the hip hop world by taking the championship title and belt. Aldea, whose dj name is 8 Ball delivered his crushing blow during the final rounds when he went up against Mr Sinister and through some adroit scratching he skillfully manipulated a recorded tone to sound like the now famous introductary riff to 'Dr Dre's 'Nuthin' But A G Thang'. 8 Ball's move made the crowd go wild and when all was said and done he left those of us who observe hip hop from a journalistic standpoint with lots of questions. Its been a full year a many stellar performances later that 8 Ball, who happens to be a judge for this year's NMS DJ Battle, dropped the 4-1-1 on himself.

For starters, 8 Ball explained that he's been committed to mastering the art of turntable trickery for the past 3-4 years. His main influences were not the masterful djs of past who hailed from the East..ie Cash Money, Tad Money, Jazzy Jeff etc. Instead 8 Ball was influenced by DJ Q-Bert another SF Bay Area native who has one the dj world championships on a couple of occassions. ³There are some people try to label me a 'Q-biter', but thats never been the case' he explained. 8 Ball broke it down by noting that Q-Bert has laid down certain foundations that him and many others have built upon. A good example is 8 ball's manipulation of the pitch control to have a tone sound like 'Nuthin' But A G Thang'.... The first time I heard anyone make a song out of record was Q-Bert when he played 'Mary Had A Little Lamb'. I wanted to take it a step further². Nowadays 8 Ball is working on keeping 'real hip hop' by trying to manipulate tones to sound like classic hip hop joints.

8 Ball's current success has put him the company of not only his fellow San Fransican natives, DJ Q-Bert and Mixmaster Mike, but the fact that he his Filipino has left many a folks wondering how and why this ethnic group has emerged to become a dominant force in the once predominant African American world of hip hop djs. For folks who aren't familiar with the make up of Northern Cali, they must bear in mind that back around '84-'88 hip hop was starting to grow in the Bay Area. Many of the brothers gravitated toward the rap and production end of things. Most were following the economic success of Too Short, who was at that time the Bay Area's premier rapper. At the same time within the very large Bay Area Filipino community [the largest outside of Manila], the djaying scene was booming. There were more than a few Filipino young men who came together, pooled their money and purchased the best equipment that money could buy. In addition, they spent hours honing their skills as mix masters.. During that time the music of choice was the then dominant frestyle and Latino uptempo dance music..ie Nocera , Nancy Martinez, Cover Girls etc.. And while hip hop wasn't the mainstay, the attitude these djs had was definitely similar to the one that hip hoppers had back in its early days.. Djaying for the Bay Area Filipinos was not spurned on because of its money making potential, although lots of money could be made but instead was driven by a desire to receive 'props' and have bragging rights... 'Who could get the newest jams first?' 'Who had the best sound system?' Who had the fanciest lights?' etc.. This type of attitude sounds remarkably similar to the ones held by early hip hop brethren..

Back in the mid 80s there were huge almost legendary DJ Showcases that featured sometimes up to 15 dj groups were attended and dominated by Filipinos...Promoters like AA and Imagine immediately come to mind.. Clubs like City Nights and Club Mirage were the hot spots...DJ groups like Unlimited Sounds, Style Beyond Compare, Dynamic Sounds, Ultimate Creations, and Ladda Sounds were among those who ran the Filipino dj scene.. Folks who were around during the early days of NY's hip hop back in the late 70s may recall the colorful and comic book like flyers that told of upcoming dances and sported the names of all the big rap groups...ie Grandmaster Flash, Grand Wizard Theodore, Cold Crush Brothers etc..Well here in Northern Cali there were similar flyers that circulated around the high schools.. It was real bizarre sitting in 8 Ball's room and looking at the old AA flyers he had collected throughout the years..Interestingly enough 8 Ball had never attended one of these huge functions...A little too young I guess, but nevertheless a product of what once was a dominant and vibrant scene...

It wouldn't be too far fetched to state that Bay Area Filipinos locked down the dj aspect of hip hop in these parts. This is not to say that there weren't other players...Digital Underground's DJ Fuze was hitting, CJ Flash, LA Sounds, DJ G, Prince Ice, JCutt were other groundbreakers..And no one can forget the grandfathers of them all Dr K of the Palladium which was the Bay Area's premier hip hop night club and Cameron Paul of Studio West and later Club 412, which were the Bay Area's premier dance club spots. However it was among the Filipino clique djaying was taking to another level because of the showcases. Many of the djs in attempt to get ahead and seperate themselves from the rest of the pack...would incorporate aspects of hip hop turntable trickery into their repitoire...Hence back in '87, '88 there were a whole lot of Filipino djs perfecting the art of transforming and the LA fast scratch...8-Ball explained that Bay Area djs weren't exposed to a whole lot of east coast styles, hence they were left to develop their own styles..He attributes this lack of 'guidance' as the reason he has been successful...'When folks like Q-Bert, Mixmaster Mike or myself brought our styles back east, it was something new that they hadn't seen before'. Hence folks were suprised and awestruck by djs like 8-Ball...As hip hop continues to emerge, folks may want to keep a close ey out for the 8-Balls of the Bay Area...while he is talented and will undoubtly continue to improve and perfect his skills, there's a few others in the wings waiting to drop bombs.. Among them as 8 Ball pointed out are DJ Kut Throat who was two years ago the reigning Bay Area dj champ, DJ Disc and Apollo who rolls with Q-Bert and Mixmaster Mike as one of the Shadow DJs.

yo hitman!!!..i hope i still live til the scene dies..hehehehehe..

"A DJ is a cynic of all music, but first, he is here to make you dance"

-Bob Sinclar

you really are a good dj hitman..im sure with that...

by the way you stil mix? i m really interested and just downloaded the songs you post!!!

where do you get those playlists?

keep it up hitman!!!

10. During your 11 years of promoting, you've listened to many DJs. What makes a good DJ?

I’ll try to be nice… a good DJ takes chances in terms of breaking records and playing different stuff.

A bad DJ settles for assuming a crowd wants to hear the same top 20 records played hundreds of times over for the last few years. It’s as simple as that.

"DONT k*ll THE SCENE"

SO...THE BIGFISHED PEOPLE WAS REALLY DESPERATE?HEHEHEHEHE..WELL PERSONALLY I LISTEN TO PAUL VAN DYKE MORE THAN TIESTO..SO WE HAVE TO THANK BIGFISH FOR THOSE EVENTS..

BUT WHY TRY TO PUT DOWN THE OTHER PROMOTER?MMM..CRAP s@%t..HEHEHEHEHE...
