"Relationships come and go, and some stay around long enough for one to learn a great deal from. In this instance, "House Of Blen" invites you to share the journey of EL BLEN as he deals with an almost failed relationship, old acquaintances, and new experiences. All the while, keeping you intrigued with rhythms and sounds; dance and grooves." - ReverbNation.com - http://bit.ly/r6CVIH

I had my first sighting of the Big Bad Wolf known as El Blen about 15 or so years ago (well...I guess that made him a Big Bad Cub back then). And I'm glad it was one of those relationships that stuck long around for me to learn a great deal from. When he produced this amazing Hhuse album, ReddOktoba Productions' first, it was my honor to give you all a chance to have your own Big Bad Wolf sighting.

That's my word - I haven't been a House fan in a long time - until now. Press Play & enjoy!

My first time seeing Beenie Man perform left a lasting impression. It was the first time I’d experienced an artist who would not get off the stage. What I mean is, his time was up, and he wouldn’t get off. He hadn’t yet finished going through his hits for the audience, and for certain,, we wanted it all! This was 15 years ago. Since then, the hits haven’t stopped coming.

I had the opportunity to talk with Beenie in an interview for Island Vibes Magazine a little while ago (http://www.islandvibesmag.com/beenie-man-de-gal-dem-sugah/), and he spoke of his love of creating music for the people. Sounds like rhetoric perhaps. But you don’t churn out a volume of hits like the ones listed below in a career spanning over 30 years without the people behind you. So who’s the King of the Dancehall? Press play and you be the judge.

I never thought anyone was as big an Eminem fan as I am until I learned my friend Delisabeth Matos is a Marshall Mathers connoisseur, if not aficionado. Perhaps the fact that she has a daughter (also a huge fan) and therefore much to live for is why she hasn’t graduated to full blown ‘Stan” status. But I’m watching her. We’ll see what develops in time.

In any case, she was the inspiration for this mix of Em’s latest EP, done in collaboration with Royce Da 59, “Bad Meets Evil – Hell: the Sequel.

An excerpt from a verse of Em’s on “Welcome to Hell,” the 3rd song on this mix:

“Bruce Willis on his death bed, last breath
with an infection
Fightin' it while he's watching
Internet porn, about to meet his death with
an erection
My god,
What I mean is, David Carridine
jacking his penis in front
of his tripod
Choking his own neck,
what part you don't get?
I'm saying I die hard!”

Nuff said. Enjoy the mix D.!

1. Fast Lane (feat. Nate Dogg)
2. I’m on Everything (feat. Mike Epps)

Just in time for Summer – a crop of bangin’ 2011 dancehall riddims mixed for an hour and forty minutes of you pleasure. Enjoy!

RIDDIM SECTIONS:
--- ---
00:00:00 - Full Size
00:06:48 - Hungry Dawg
00:09:32 - Dutty Sneekaz
This set of riddims makes for the sweetest intro with the help of Vybz Kartel, Beenie Man, Lady Saw, Stacious & more.

00:17:20 - Party Vibe
You can’t listen to this riddim and plan on not moving your body. Not gon’ happen. Oh, and that Shaggy on here, “Wave,” is bananas!

00:22:41 - Blizzard
00:26:43 - Cyclist
When Beenie kicks off a song with “Zagga zagga zow-wow-wow,” you just know good things are about to follow. The party gets started right about here.

00:30:48 - Dancehall Alert
Love love LOVE this riddim! It’s a loose remake of the old Headache riddim ( a bassline no riddim has yet to surpass btw). Also, this riddim features Sizzla…being Sizzla! Miss that guy.

00:36:00 - Problem
This riddim is precisely what is says it is. With Beenie at the helm with Ward 21 in the engine room, any riddim is a problem.

00:42:10 - Problem/Racer blend ft. Beenie Man
00:44:04 - Racer
My absolute favorite riddim on this podcast. Sweet sweet sweet. It’s like a perfect amalgam of a lover’s rock vibe with a dancehall power behind it.

00:51:00 - Retarded
SICK SICK SICK!!! You just have to hear for yourself.

00:55:45 - Enemy Lines
Might be my 2nd favorite riddim on the mix, if for nothing else due to the Beenie/Bounty clash which makes anappearance. Oh, and we've got Elephant, Cobra, Vybz! Battle lines are clearly drawn.

01:10:35 - Jericho
Vybz. Kymani Marley. Tough riddim right here.

01:14:16 - Bus Stop
The Matterhorn and Elephant on here are particularly hot.

01:21:36 - Pepper
This riddim took a few seconds to get me because it at first reminded me of that “Skip to My Lou” joint that I will never ever play.If you want me to play it at a party of yours, it had better be on your iPod. But the Pepper riddim quickly steered itself right, and it’s got just the ideal group of artists on board making it a sleeper favorite of mine. The riddim’s producer Di Genius is on a track himself, along with the likes of Mavado, Elephant man, Frisco Kid and more. But no one takes it home for me the way Shabba Ranks (Him deh ya!) does!

01:29:37 - Pepper/Rules and Laws blend
01:30:00 - Rule and Laws
I thought Enemy Lines was my 2nd favorite until I played this one. It’s not just the Beenie or Matterhorm. Everybody puts in work here.

01:34:50 - Thirteen
This riddim first caught my attention because of my boy Tippa, who has no relation to Don Tippa who has the last two tracks on the podcast. That last song…Girl Dweet…it just catches you. You can just see the girls in the dancehall “showin how they dance and balance pon’ their hand”

While this podcast's title takes its name of Busy Signal's (by way of Phil Collins) hit of a similar name, it's much more than a medley of that riddim. As a matter of fact, that riddim appears once, at the very end. For the hour and 20 some-od minutes which preceed it, you're invited to kick back, relax and sway to some of the hottest smooth concious reggae and lovers rock tunes of 2011.

You'll be treated to all brand new riddims, as follows:

RIDDIM SECTIONS
1. Captain Riddim
2. Eternal Riddim

9. Ninetys Riddim
10. Realizations Riddim

“…Nowadays deejays got bags of tricks, graphic
On some behind the back shit, catch it and scratch it
Classic, this kid got his craft mastered
Hands is mad quick like he mix with magic
Spin it back and forth and grab it, and know just where it is...
There it is” – When I be on the Mic - Rakim ft. DJ Premier

This doesn’t come close to saying it all, but it says a heck of a lot. For over two decades DJ Premier has been much more than a deejay, having produced some of the greatest Hip-Hop songs ever. I’ll update this with the playlist later, but you’ll be treated to some classic hits on this mix, some of which you maybe didn’t know were birthed by Primo. Heavy D, AZ, Jay-Z, Biggie, MOP, KRS-ONE, Royce Da 5’9, Das EFX, The Lox, MC Lyte, Rakim, Nas, and of course Guru - Preem has worked with all of them and more, the product of which you’ll find right here for an hour and forty minutes of headbangers!

Just a quick note about the work with Nas by the way – Hip-Hop brilliance. It’s time for “Illmatic 3.”

I don’t even think it’s arguable – DJ Premier is quite simply the greatest Hip-Hop producer of all time. Press play and see why.

Just chillin' in the lab and had Morgqan Heritage on my mind. One of the greatest, and possibly underrated reggae bands ever. I threw in some Beres, Buju, Shabba, Bounty, Queen Ifrica, and Beenie for good measure.

Big up Una, Gramps, Lukes, Mr. Mojo, Peetah, and of course Fadda Denroy.

Enjoy!

Not much more to say other than just that. This is a straight up joyride. Imagine you're on a long stretch of road, nowhere in particular to go, top down, a full tank of gas, and this mix cued up.

You'll want to dance the whole way through but will find that conflicts with simultaneously moving at 95mph while you and your crew are wilding out in the drop top.

We set it off with one of my all-time favorite riddims, Punaany. From then on, we're treated to a non-stop assortment of Dancehall classics from artists the likes of Terror Fabulous, Sanchez, Beenie Man, Elephant Man, Tanya Stephens, Red Rat, Bounty Killer, Buju Banton, Sean Paul, Serani, Busy Signal, Baby Cham, Vybz Kartel, Lady Saw, Gyptian, Cecile, T.O.K., Capleton, and MORE!!!

Nuff chat. Press play

While this has primarily been a Hip-Hop & Reggae podcast, it is certainly not an exclusionary one. And how could I exclude the music which is as inate to me as can be. Whie I'm Brooklyn born through and through, the blood which courses through my veins is a beautiful hue of red and blue. Haitian blood.

It's a wonder that I took this long to record my first Kompa mix. I won't front - it took a bit of research, for which I have to give a big shout out to Crooke Ave's own Fritzy Love for the huge assist! Kid, without you, this mix is twenty minutes and 4 songs. Good lookin' out! I had a bast digging through the virtual crates.

On this mix, we're joined by the likes of Carimi, Djakout Mizik, T-Vice, Krezi Mizik with special appearances by Top Vice, Sweet Micky and more. Some call it a dance...others call it a party. We call it a "balle." Whatever you call it, put on your dancing shoes, press play, and join this one in progress.

I was born in the early 70's, which means that I was pretty much born with Hip-Hop, and grew up with Hip-Hop. In so many ways in my life, as Hip-Hop goes, I go. And vice versa. If you're a 70's baby, the same probably holds true for you.

So it's only fitting that my 20's coincided with what was inarguably the greatest decade of the genre - The 1990's. Sure, maybe by the time the 21st century came along, Hip-Hop sprouted her wings and really started to come into her own. But her formative years? The ones that made her the sexy beast she is? The 90s, without a doubt.

In just an hour and a half and 43 tracks, I couldn't begin to capture her full essence, but hopefully this first of a number of volumes will serve to help paint the picture. This isn't a time-line or linear design, because Hip-Hop isn't linear. She's is, was, and always will be a 360 degree cipher. Press play and join mine

A friend of mine (whose placement in that category I might have to rethink), asked me if I thought I could pull off a Bounty Killer concert series mix. After a long period of wondering whether not not he'd lost his mind, I finally bothered to ask why he thought it was a question. His next comment positively floored me.

"Cause Bounty doesn't have enough real hits, he said. That's why Beenie's the King of the Dancehall." Oh the folly of youth. As far as I'm concerned, there's no doubt that Beenie is the King of the dancehall. But if that is indeed the case, than Bounty is no less than its Prime Minister (and self-proclaimed poor people's governor).

With hits like Mama, Gal, Anytime, Sufferah, Cellular Phone, Lodge, Coppa' Shot, Mr. Wanna Be, Wrong Name Yu Call, Down In the Ghetto, Action Speaks Louder, The Lord Is My Salvation, Another Level, Look, Spy Fi Die, Dead This Time, If A War, Bullz of Chicago, Not Another Word, New Gun, More Gal, Statement... and MORE, I was certain that my boy was dropped on his head, sometime shortly after he was born in 1980 something.

His loss. But fortunately I was here to save the day...

-Clodi

Happy V-Day y'all!!! It's with perfect and coincidental timing that this mix is the latest podcast scheduled for release, recorded earlier just tonight.

I don't really have to get into much of an explanation. When you know Beres Hammond or Sanchez are on the microphone, it's pure niceness. And each chune, they're pretty much doing one of two things - loving Jah, or loving their woman. So for the next hour, sit back, relax...or better yet, get up and grab the love of your life...if he or she isn't there, just hold yuself tight, imagine that they are, and lover's rock the night away...

On my last Eargasm Mix (http://clodimus-sounds.podomatic.com/entry/2011-01-20T20_02_02-08_00), I included a few lesser known tracks by a few underground artists. The great response to those tracks was somewhat surprising. I had no idea you all were up on real Hip-Hop!!!

Okay...I'll take that back, because in all honesty, it's all Hip-Hop and it's all love. But the Underground holds a very special place in my heart. Authentic...visceral...organic...take your pick. It's all that and then some. The beats...the lyrics...they all perfectly reflect the spirit of independent music - socially conscious, anti-commercial, and/or eschewing, if not irreverent of the mainstream.

Part of the beauty is that "Underground" is not necessarily to be confused for "unknown." Because if you don't know artists like The CunninLynguists, Masta Ace, Murs, Dilated Peoples, AZ, or Buckshot, then my contention is that you're the one who's been under ground. Press Play & fix that!

Hope everybody is enjoying a great 2011 so far! I missed you all! And I most definitely missed my turtables and it feels SO goooood to be baaaack!

This mix was pretty much a testament to just that. It's just me having long overdue fun, from intro to the last song - which by the way is appropriately called "Last Song." It's by a Swedish Hip-Hop group named Looptroop, and it's quite easily my favorite track on the entire mix.

As a matter of fact, those songs you see with an asterisk next to it in the play list is a new or rare cut you might not have heard yet, for which I have a particular affinity - like "A Girl Like You" by Psalm One at the 33:38 minute mark. LISTEN to this track. Then run it back & listen again!

Enjoy!

Straight to the point, with 90 + minutes and 31 tracks bangin' from start to finish, this mix is a straight up monster. Being the concert series, the artist rotation isn't deep, but trust, it doesn't need to be.

Big shout to Jay Electronica, the newest member of the Roc Nation, featured on a few tracks, including the brand new banger "Shiny Suit Theory" featuring Jay-Z. You'll find a few new joints on here...some you might have heard already...some perhaps not. Either way, like I said, they're all monsters. Why don't you press play and see for yourself...

Enjoy!

REPOST: Please note that the original recording of this podcast has been replaced with one that includes about 20 more minutes of pure fyah! Why? Simple. Because I love reggae. By the way, if you're a Beenie Man fan, you'll find that he pretty much gets it in on this mix.

===
What happens when you take some of the hottest dancehall artists around, and revoke their US visas for political reasons? Well, so far, very little. But it does give thems some extra time on their hands since they're not here touring, and with it, they are in the studio recording some of the hottest bangers of 2K10! "The Visa Crew" as I call them, are all on this mix - Beenie...Bounty...Movado...Adonia and more, along with a host of others like Vybz, Cecile, Tony M., and Mad Cobra fresh off his death bed.

Big shout to my boy Pat who provided the live audience as we drove my neighbors mad with these new 2K10 riddims like the Bank Robber, Exodus, Badda Don, Sprite, Stage, Conception, Find Your Love, Smokin', Genesis, and yes, more. Nuff chat. Prepare to dance, press Play and Enjoy!

This mix is actually a re-broadcast of an older podcast by special request. It's a medley of nothing but big chunes, all on the warm & easy side of things.

All your favorite artists are in atendance...Beres...Shabba Ranks...Pinchers...Louie Culture...Super Cat...Garnet Silk... the list of classics is deep. The mix also features some newer classics (if you'll forgive the oxymoron), by big names like Taurus Riley, Queen Ifrica, Jah Cure, Buju Banton, Spragga Benz, Bounty Killer and more!

Press play and enjoy!

This mix was a straight up homage to my youth. I wouldn't classify it as an old school mix, because this is of a slightly different breed. This mix highlights the Skinout chune. That dark East Flatbush Brooklyn basement party with nothing but Guiness bottles lining the driveway outside, while inside is a sweat box of pure unadulterated winery. And I'm not talking about booze.

Yes, the skinout tune. And this mix comes with a special ode to one of the toughest skinout riddims ever. The first 15 minutes or so take us through what is known as "The Punaany." Mercy! From Admiral Bailey, to Elephant, to Beenie, to Shabba, to Lady Saw...no dancehall artist with hopes of a viable career can some through the ranks without having blessed the Punaany riddim, and blessed it well. And we've got those chunes right here, from jump.

So, no more delay, press play and GYAL SKINOUT!

A sweet, warm and easy Sunday reggae vibe, true to the podcast's title. Big chunes galore.

Roots, Culture, Lover's Rock. It's got your host of favorite artists, backed by the toughest riddim sections out. But probably no tune bigger than the final song, "Earth" by jailed superstar Buju Banton, straight from behind his prison walls. Brand new just for you.

Nuff chat. Press play and enjoy!

While my niece and younger cousins are mouthing the words to Niki Minaj at family gatherings, these are some of the songs I play in my head. The music of...my era of Hip-Hop. Now I'm glad I can just pull it up on my iPhone and tune them out.

Of course there's no way one could wrap that into 90 minutes. So do be on the lookout for Volume II!!! Enjoy!

Very few artists have elicited at least two Podcast episode postings up on here. Jay-Z is one, with An Hour and Change with Hov I & II (http://clodimus-sounds.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2009-09-15T18_22_36-07_00) and The Evolution of Hov (http://clodimus-sounds.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2010-03-03T20_10_27-08_00). It’s been a little over a year since the first and last Eminem Podcast, mixed shortlty before the release of the “Relapse” album – Shady Influence (http://clodimus-sounds.podomatic.com/entry/eg/2009-05-17T20_15_20-07_00).

After the recent release of his hit “Recovery,” it occurred to me, and I rightly lamented, that I’d never been to an Eminem concert. While I’ll be fortunate to see him take the stage with Hov this fall at Yankee stadium, still, I’ve never had the pleasure of an Eminem show. But it got to me to wondering just what it might be like. While I unfortunately can’t offer the live show, I like to think that this mix at least brings you a taste of what the Shady/Aftermath show experience might sound like. So sit back, press play, and enjoy!

My neighbors were treated to a bright and early edition of Sunday Chune Up today (though I can't say for sure they'd call the thumping beats a treat). I pulled a small collection of some of my favorite riddims, including some brand new 2010 bangers

RIDDIM SECTIONS
1.GoGo - A hot Masive B riddim anchored by a killer Materhorn chune to start things off.

2.Kurrupt Krysmus - Brand new 2010 riddim that should have probably come out over the holidays, but it's got some hot summe rbangers nevertheless.

3. Rooftop - Lawd a' mercy! The Beenie on this riddim is RIDICULOUS.

4.Stainless - A drark yet soothing ridim that perfectly segues to...

5. The Amharic - I love these types of riddim sections!!! That thumping traditional dancehall beat, laced with a sweet Middle Eastern melody, backed by strings and additional percussion from the same. FIYAH!

6. Dream - And this where we start to coast. Think open road where yours is the only car around. The top is down and the wind is blowing through your hair as you start to cruise...

7. Street Team - ...then you start to pick up speed. When Firelinks touches a riddim, you know what to expect. This is not fo the faint of heart. Strap on your dancing shoes.

8. Self Defence - LOVE this riddim! And the queen's English spelling. It's a remix of the old Martial Arts riddim that featured Elephant's "The Bombing." The energy god does not disappoint on this new version with "Sweep"

10. Outta Ada - Simply put, this riddim is out of order...in the "not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good" sense. Hope your dancing shoes are still laced on. And oh my goodness, the Buju 'pon dis riddim...OUTTA ADA!

11. XMore - Sean Paul and Frisco Kid - A hot throwback dancehall riddim with these two riding the top tracks. There should definitely be more artists on this riddim.

12. Unknown Number - Grab up yuh partner and..slow whine...slow whine...slow whine...

13. Triple Bounce - Vybez, Eelephant, Beenie, Matterhorn, and more Vybz. A riddim like this required no less.

14. 12 Furlong - An acoustic masterpiece. An instrumentally rich riddim built for dancing. And it was also built for two of the boon fiyah chunes you'll find rit by Capleton, and Beenie.

Press play and enjoy!

This mix started out as a Garnett Silk compilation. But somewhere along the line as I getting the chunes together, my mind started to wander. "What if Garnett had clash with Jah-Cure?" As I started to play, all of sudden, Luciano wanted to come flex. Before I knew it, Sizzla had joined the fray and the first half-hour ends up being a friendly battle-royale of sorts between the four of them. One after the other, chune for chune.

The remaining hour and 15 minutes is an assortment of classic one-drop chunes, and some of the hottest riddims out like Chant Down Babylon, 18 and Over, Stop Fighting Rock Steady, African, New Chapter, and more. There's an assortment of artists like Beres Hamond, Etana, Capleton, Fantoh Mojah, Tony Rebel, Richie Stephens, Maxi Priest, [free]Buju Banton,, some BOOM FYAH chunes by Queen Ifrica, and of course, many many more.

If you're in a cool out vibe, in the mood for some article chunes, just sit back and press play.

Enjoy!

The past few years have seen some of the hottest albums in Hip-Hop hit the streets. But most of you have either never heard them, or even heard of them, and that's a damn shame. You're not going to find the work of which I speak in the catalogues of Weezy, Hov, T.I. or Jeezy. Rather, how many of you know that KRS-ONE and Buckshot together put out one of the hottest albums of 2009? If you did, then holla'. If you've heard it, then holla' louder.

But if you haven't, then don't fret, I got you..and then some. This mix presented a struggle to stay in deejay mode and keep myself from stopping to listen to each song from start to finish. The beats, are infectious. The lyrics? FIYAH! But can we expect any less from these two? The playlist contains joints from their album "Survival Skills" as well some bangers each of them have put out over the past few years - most notably work Buckshot has done with 9th Wonder, and the Blastmaster's collaborations with Hip-Hop legend Marley Marl.

Again, it's a shame, but you won't hear most of these on the airwaves, ever. But after you press play, you'll be sure to ask why the hell not.

Enjoy!

"It's been a long time, I should'nt have kept you,
without a hot mix to step to..."

Hey everybody. Sorry for the long gap between Podcast episodes. This fall has been a crazy one, and I for one am ecstatic that I've finally had a chance to post something for you. I've been sitting on this in my head for a minute now and I'm glad it's finally out. To my Reggae & Dancehall fans, I also sincerely apologize. I know, it's been a particularly long stretch for you, and for me as well, so let's get into this Eargasm, and exhale.

CAUTION: If you are not a regae or dancehall fan, listening to this mix may cause you to consider that you've been wasting your life away all these years. Ask somebody.

Enjoy!
