Cosmo Baker & DJ Premier in Penthouse Magazine

I’m not sure if that shout get an “ayo” or not. No seriously, I am. I was featured in an article about DJs that love to spin vinyl and me and Primo were interviewed and quoted for it. They even got our photos up in there. Kind of crazy. The issue came out in like January or February of this year but I just bought a scanner so booyah. Anyway, here’s screencaps and that shit, and links to the article I guess. Seriously though, now I can actually say “I bought it for the articles” hahah… Obviously, below is NSFW, but you can click here to read the articles: Page 2, Page 3 & Page 4.

Jewcy

So I’ve been chosen this year by the good peoples at Jewcy Magazine as one of the 2010 Big Jewcy list – which is kind of like the list of top people to be recognized for what they do, or better yet, just to be looked at as a list of “Top Jews of the year.” It’s an honor though to be listed alongside my friend (and also a great Jew) A-Trak, as well as Gabriel Roth (the man behind Daptone Records) & Joel Tietolman (one of the guys behind one of my favorite spots in the city, Mile End.) So check it out here – I’m officially an important New York Jew. Hey Pop-Pop, I made it!

Memory Lane Show On UStream

The homies who have the Memory Lane show on UStream had me as a quest on their show last night. It’s a pretty great concept – they come over to a DJs house and broadcast him spinning live from home, audio and visual. So here’s 90 minutes of me hanging out playing rap vinyl and 45s in my house while drinking beer and sweating profusely. Shout to my wife, Pete, Skizz, Julie, DJ Eclipse and the rest of the Memory Lane gang.

All that SCRATCHING is making me ITCH… So in speaking about scratching, I found that crazy DJ Noize routine that I was looking for that I mentioned in a post last month. Here it is… BUGGING.

Continuing our scratching theme in honor of the late great Mister McLaren, here’s one of my favorite videos take on the DJ Johnny Juice who is one of the nastiest dudes to ever touch the platters. He’s actually the DJ that’s responsible for doing most of the ghost cuts all of the first 2 Public Enemy albums but he never got the credit for them (although Chuck does shout him out on Rebel Without A Pause – “Juice on the loose, electric wire…” So peep game.
