House + Base Dub 11:17 AM

So the good people at Studio 1403 used to throw a small event every third friday in the heart of the East Nashville ghetto called House + Base. Along with AO & Blond!e, we managed to bring in talented creative people like Rx2 & Oliver Dodd and provide a forum for new music, brand new studio creations, different dj sets and the marriage of red bull cola and jim beam. Alas, the night came to an end with very little support. We think the white people were scared to come out to the hood and the black people were scared of the music... or maybe everyone was scared that Blond!e was really gonna play a DONK set. Anyways, House + Base Dub was born on the same premise, experimenting to infinite end in the studio and coming up with a very unlikely creation capturing that moment in time.

Attack of the Glitch..ch...ch..ch..ch..gl..ch..ch.. 10:29 AM

These two beefy studs pictured above are known as Art School Romance. When they aren't buying really stupid overbearing bright light boxes they deem as important gear and new iphones, they make some weird glitchy type mixes and stuff. Actually, the shit is really cool... its always nice to hear offkey and out of the norm 8 bit remixes and whatnot. I mean, everyone gets worked up over Atari, right?

The Pincher 2:34 PM

You know there is always that dude in the club. He either is acting like he is way cooler than he should be with you or the bastard is just tryin to sneak it on the low and then BAM!

He just pinched my ass...

Anyways, after the guys in C.I.S. dragged that freakazoid out the club, took his wallet, stole all his pills and fed him to the bums on Gallatin Rd, they wrote a song about him.

Charcoal Filtered LP Promo Box by Studio 1403

Finally, the long awaited grime spitters debut LP has finally came to the 1403 blog. If you didnt happen to find a free copy of it while fighting with a group of bums over who would get to dig in that trashcan on 14th and woodland then here is your chance. The three tunes above are included along with 5 other bangers. Not really the kinda stuff you can bag your old lady to but quite ideal for bank robberies, blunt smoking, purse snatching or grand theft auto (and the game too!). Enjoy kiddies!

Ok, well some asshole (probably not this guy either) managed to delete a post, so we try again.

Anyways, got another ochoa edit for ya today. We slicked up Kid Cudi's 'Super Boo' all crispy for the dancefloor dedicated to all those super boos that used to wash your clothes and managed to never shrink your favorite Mecca polo shirt. Wasn't those the days? I need some detergent now.
