Urthboy - Spitshine

Spitshine‟ is an audacious record packed with punch and finesse: the beats and vocals swagger with breezy rhythm– allowing Urthboy to blaze a trail across a sunset of slamming drums. There‟s a defiant optimism about it: everyone‟s got a story and somehow, anyhow, that story should be told.
Production is handled by the same talent that saw last album „The Signal‟ get multiple award nominations (AMP; J Award; AIR Awards). COUNT BOUNCE; ELGUSTO and HERMITUDE. Guests include SOLO of HORRORSHOW, JANE TYRRELL, LIOR, NAY and MANTRA of ILLZILLA
Out now and available with a bonus t-shirt transfer.

R.I.P. Hard drive and hiatus


I am kicking myself like crazy, I lost over 100 GB worth of music, files and documents and other stuff, because like an absolute idiot I didn't back up, I just forgot about it, last week my PC became very ill and basically died, in all honesty it has been hard to lose so much data that was close and personal to me, but on the bigger scale of things, it really is just small.

People have sadly lost their homes and everything due to devastation caused by fires, tsunamis, typhoons
and of course the recession, I can only give them my utmost sympathy and know that what I have gone through is very small compared to what they have had to deal with.

Cold Rock Da Spot is going to be on hiatus for a bit, because I am going to rebuild my online collection from scratch and
rip a lot of CD's and vinyl (when I get it back) and this will take some time, I really want to keep this blog going and I really appreciate your comments, you make it all worth it.

Thank you and remember kids

CRDS Presents-The LG Experience

Update: L.G. contacted me and I just wanted to share with you all what he said

Jaz Whats Good.I want to thank you for your post on my work. Its crazy
cause I've had your blog as a favorite for a while,but didn't check it
for a min. I was copying links from some of the best sites I fuck wit
to send to my boy in Detroit & came across the post. I appreciate your
interest dogs. I'm still makin heat.I'm currently workin on albums by
Malay Sparks,Baby Blak,& B.A.M.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------




The LG Experience pka Patrick Harvey, Easy Moe Bee's younger brother, is one of those producers that you would most likely have heard of and heard, but know nothing about him, this was the case on research for this post, I went all over the net looking for a picture or any other info, I went through old magazines like The Source, Rap Sheet and Rap Pages, but came up with nothing.


Patrick started out producing for The Genius aka The GZA and produced 3 tracks on his debut album, Words From The Genius (1991) Who's Your Rhymin Hero, Super Freak and Stay Out of Bars and then went on the produce for Sista Souljah and the Double XX Posse, french group Supreme NTM, Naughty By Nature, Questionmark Asylum, Shaquille O'Neal, Hurricane (former Beastie Boys DJ, who released a solo album in 1995) Boogiemonsters and a few others, but he is probably best know for his ill remix of Big L's-Put It On and his instantly recognizable production for Ill Al Skratch and the One Love remix for Nas, his production often consisted of lovely horns, dope basslines and fat, crisp drums, as you will hear on the compilation provided.

You know what?, I wish I could provide more information, but there honestly isn't any out there, so props to the LG Experience for the dope production and remixes over the years.


Big thanks to aREAL and The Big Sleep for the info and the hook ups and don't forget to check out his blog



Also, I was sent to this dope link from the T.R.O.Y. blog last year, which has the top 10 joints that L.G. has produced (according to him).

Elefant Traks 10th Anniversary DVD


In late 2008, Australian record label ELEFANT TRAKS celebrated its 10th year with a huge sold-out concert at The Forum in Sydney.Label founders THE HERD headlined the event; with HERMITUDE; HORRORSHOW, THE TONGUE, URTHBOY, ASTRONOMY CLASS and UNKLE HO all providing knockout performances. It was a night to suit the occasion: an ecstatic crowd in a venue decked out with Elefants (not real ones), visuals and a lighting show. Filmed with 13 cameras and lovingly recorded by GREG WALES – this is appropriately the first ever DVD from Elefant Traks. Hosted by THE TONGUE, whose amusing encounters with punters cross back to live sets from each act, this DVD package also features backstage photos. It’s a moment in time: the culmination of ten years of independent Australian music from Sydney’s DIY label Elefant Traks.
