ABOUT BLAP:
Most beat battles and producer showcases are tailored to industry professionals. Those who attend usually critique a producer on technical aspects of producing, but how would a general party crowd respond?
B.L.A.P. (Beats Love Alcohol Party) was created to answer that question. Take a group of producers - a couple of known veterans and a few undiscovered talents, put them in front of a party and tell them to play their beats - it's that simple. What separates B.L.A.P. from similar events is the interaction between the average music fan and the taste makers, as well as it's casual nature. Instead of the producers being judged by a panel of their peers, they are attempting to keep the crowd rocking.
There is no stage and patrons are encouraged to dance. For the party goer unaware of the scene it becomes a new experience. For the industry pro, the laid back atmosphere provides a more comfortable arena to network & find their next hit producer. Created in September of 2009 by !llmind, multi-platinum producer for artists like 50 Cent, Ludacris, Dr Dre & more, who knows who will show up for this event series. Soon enough, everyone will know at B.L.A.P.

The world of music production is one of the fastest growing in the industry. Still, there are very few outlets providing information on how to achieve a lucrative career as a producer. With 13 + years experience, !llmind (Produced records for Kanye West, 50 Cent, Eminem, Common, 2 Chainz, Scarface, Redman and Many More) has assembled a team to help fill that void. How do I get record placements? What is my favorite producer using in the studio? What is publishing and why is it important? What schools cater best to becoming a producer?
The life blood of the music industry is based on knowing the right people. BLAP On The Radio serves to not only answer those questions, but also to provide valuable insight from some of today’s most important power players (Artist Manager, Lawyers, Major Label A&R’s, Beat Brokers, and more)
Music producers rarely get the recognition they deserve. We’re here to analyze the various beat making techniques of some of our favorite producers. From J Dilla’s drum swing, to J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League’s lush musical arrangements, we plan to cover it all.

5/17 BLAP On The Radio was a little short staffed since !llmind and Stoni were in Miami for the iStandard Beat Camp. Luckily the homie Quest stepped up to help out with the hosting duties along with the great engineerMatt Weiss from Philly. M31RK decided to do an extended live BLAPorCRAP segment. We had a lot of fun critiquing beats from the inbox and interacting with the listeners from the chat room. Had 2 Pranks calls in the process. At the end M31RK suggested we should have a BLAPorCRAP Sample flip for the 5/24 show. Let’s see who has the best sample chops and creativity.
Look out for the sample on our Twitter and Blogs to download the sample and submit.

Since DJ Gen.Erik is no longer with us, we will have DJ Unkle Chip of The Elite Camp for the night. Make sure you tune in!
Since 2005, the word iStandard has become synonymous with the world of music production, and it’s easy to see why. Its founders’ vision was to create a platform in which the music producer could step out from behind the boards and display their talents to an audience conducive to enhancing their career. Over the past 8 years, iStandard has showcased thousands of fledgling producers in front of some of the biggest names in music at their live iStandard Producer Showcase in 25+ cities, the Beat Camp program in 4 cities at the SAE Institute, and to millions online via iStandardProducers.com. iStandard, as an entity, is as unique as the creative talents of the producers it represents. Thousands of trendy 18-35 year olds hoping to catch an earful of the next sound attend what can be deemed as lifestyle events, in US cities from New York to Los Angeles and everywhere in between. iStandard embodies powerful informational tools, both online via our exclusive interviews, daily news updates, and technology pieces, as well as live at the iStandard Producer Showcase and our exciting new Beat Camp program.

Unkle Chip
We are geeked to have Unkle Chip rock with us this Blapisode. He’s literally booked all the time but we got lucky this Friday. He’s definitely one of the most consistent DJ’s we go out to check for in NY. If you don’t know who he is, check him out at the More Than Enough Parties thrown at LPR every other Saturday and peep his mixes on his soundcloud.
Unkle Chip is hands down the most aesthetically inclined DJ we’ve listened to. On top of that, he’s a part of NY/NJ’s illest DJ Crew - The Elite Camp. His knowledge of overall music is shown in all of his sets. Unkle Chip bows down to no one and you end up changing your list of favorite songs in the process. Influential indeed by his very nature.
