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.

Dubspot Interview: Oddisee (Mello Music Group) - MC’ing, Production & Sampling
Oddisee (born Amir Mohamed el Khalifa) is a hip hop producer and MC who has forged a unique sound; his observational slice-of-life lyrics and soulful beats have graced the mixtapes and tracks he has been producing since 2005. Mohamed grew up in Prince George’s County, Maryland (near Washington D.C.), and many of his pieces reflect cultural influences from this area. Recently the producer has been working in Brooklyn and London, which have both provided new inspiration and depth for his music. While in NYC, Dubspot caught up with Oddisee to talk about his early work with Ensoniq’s ASR-X sampler, his daily production workflow and work ethic, and what it took to become satisfied with his own music.
