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.

Frank151 Presents FRANK TALK: Joel Stones

If you’re seeking an expert opinion on Brazilian music, take a heady walk over to East Village record store Tropicalia In Furs. Amongst wall-to-wall vinyl, you’ll find resident expert and owner Joel Stones, keeper of both impressive hairstyle and an extensive knowledge of Brazilian records, who can probably give you a detailed history of any item you pick up in the store. 

Stones spoke to us at length in Chapter 50: Brazil about his story as a shoeshine guy-turned-store owner, and now in this FRANK Talk, he keeps it going by outlining the value of the one dollar record bins—the foundation of his Brazilian empire.
