Who says you don't age gracefully?

This pretty face does!

He keeps getting better with age.. and more LOCO too.

Tonight's offering is from the maestro himself,

back from land of broken promises and moral deficiencies.

Hey madman, "The joker's on you".

Once a young "Men", now a retired dreamer?

A survivor from another episode along with all the other post apocalyptic

Really Dat 10:35 AM

You know, every once in a while you need a fresh dose of some real hip hop. I'm not talkin about the rainbow striped color polos, backpackin, goofy small glasses wearin, way clean white air force 1s hip hop either. While most cats are at the mall solidifying their hip hop status buyin all that shit, I gotta feeling my man S.T.I.N.K. Fest is coppin a dime bag or gettin some drank and an optimo from the corner store.

Anyways, I got hit in the mouth the other day with his record, Flow Frazier, which is available on itunes, rhapsody and emusic. Highly suggested over here at Studio 1403. Superbly crafted and gritty lyrics over punchy tracks is the theme throughout the 16 track LP. I used some covert jedi mind tricks and convinced the crew to let me drop their single 'Really Dat' on the blog for FREE.

On The Regs 7:18 AM

So today is the day where everyone dresses up like something they aren't or wish to be. Girls all dress up like sluts or men, boys dress up like their favorite lame ass toys from when they were 10, black people are white people, white people are dressin up like rappers, whatever.

I digress, as usual.

Today's post is from someone who is obviously masquerading as a DJ. Blond!e Etcetera shows his sorry ass up to the studio and says he wants to make a new mixtape. After the laughter subsides, we all realize that this asshole is serious, even though he doesn't even own a pair of headphones. The end result is On The Regs... a 60 minute trip through the rougher side of drum and bass to the soulful side of jungle. Artwork by the always inspired Unabomber 13.

Happy Halloween trixters. Enjoy.

Its Time for a Smoke Break.... 8:06 AM

Today's offering is from the always sweet, always busy Jane Dupree. We at Studio 1403 have known her for a very long time and she is one of the harder working DJs around Nashville (as opposed to the majority lazy rock star fucks with herpes) Anyways, Smoke Break Volume 4 finds Ms Dupree basically throwing the kitchen sink of sound into a half hour of a mix. You get sirens, breaks, 4 on the floor, buzzy baselines, lo fi vocals, ghetto chants... you get my drift. This is the perfect mix for the middle of the week when you just can't seem to wake up and that double shot espresso coffee no soy latte crap thing you order at Starbucks ain't workin. By the way, she also runs Disco Terror Squad, a blog about music where they actually don't talk shit about the artists. Interesting concept.

Viva La Paul Anthony 8:42 PM

The hot boy playin the maracas above is none other than Paul Anthony. You know he shakes that shit with precision too... I mean he is rockin the square rimmed coke bottles with those blue and pink fibers. Anyways, this cholo left el barrio to come down to ole swell Nashville and play some rekkids for us. This is a perfect example of how you blur the lines between ghetto and electro and also sprinkle in some house classics... Chicano Stylee ese....

Liquid (on your side) 8:42 AM

A worrbbly acid, percussive infused, hotrageous House moment captured in 1403. After no sleep and even less sanity-- a moody MPC and possibly some long term drug interactions, Liquid was born. Once in the box, rearranged, flipped and flopped, a tinge of B94 "house is for puffs aggression," and you get something that may be tech, or glitch, or electro, or whatever the fuck they're calling it these days? ....umm Nashville House???

Although only a working title, this it what she came to be known as, we present....

Sh** On Ti** 10:02 AM

Way back in the day of palm trees and funny colored chronix, Blond!e worked on a mixtape to try to end all music with his accomplice Mr. Hyde. While the result was a massive failure, the cream cheese and double fudge pot brownies were fucking awesome. Anyways, we got about 6 minutes done of it and here is 3 and a half for ya!
