Medlar - "Tap Spring"
London DJ/Producer Medlar makes house tracks with a heavy jazz influence, favoring loose grooves and soulful sampling. His dream-like debut LP, Sleep, was released last year on WOLF music to favorable reviews. On March 21st, the Sleep Remixes EP will be released as a vinyl exclusive, which includes the track "Tap Spring," showing off a more mellow, tribal sound from the producer.



Howson's Groove - "Live On"
UK production duo Howson's Groove recently shared their latest track "Live On" as a free download from their upcoming EP, Body & Soul, out on March 31st. The slow-building, smooth track features subtly warped vocals and swirling synths. Listen and download the lush production below.




Mario Bee - "3xtr^"
Brooklyn via Buffalo producer/DJ Mario Bee occasionally drops demos and instrumentals on his soundcloud page. The latest of his often experimental productions, "3xtr^," shows off grime and UK bass influences, with hard-hitting, tenacious percussion. With a sound that brings to mind London's Night Slugs label, the producer balances melodic synth work with tight bass and drum work to create an ambitious, highly resonant track. Listen below.

Moon Boots - "C.Y.S."
The unique style of Chicago producer Moon Boots blends 90's r&b with house and funk in a way that makes for some undeniably fun, blissful tracks. The French Express label member's latest track, "C.Y.S." samples Total's 1995 hit "Can't You See" featuring The Notorious B.I.G., using the soulful vocals to build a killer hook around a smooth deep house tune with infectious chords and a characteristically lively rhythm. Download the track below.



Audion - "Sky (Daniel Avery Remix)"
UK producer Daniel Avery released the stellar, Drone Logic, last year, a lush record that used Detroit Techno influences to create a masterful and hypnotic sound. His remix of Audion's "Sky" is a murky, driving track with powerful percussion and a deep bass line. Listen below and check out the single's appropriately cerebral artwork.



Karma Kid - "Like I'm On Fire (Behling & Simpson)"
Bristol duo Behling & Simpson's smooth house rework of fellow British artist Karma Kid's "Like I'm On Fire" is a more straightforward, club-oriented take on the original. With crisp bass and intense drums, the vocals fade in and out throughout the track driven by a tight hi-hat groove. Listen below.        



Justin Timberlake - "Let The Groove Get In (Alex Burkat's Social Network Edit)" 
Brooklyn based producer Alex Burkat has released tracks for house label 100% Silk and Party/label Mister Saturday Night for which he released his first single "Shower Scene," a track that made its' way onto John Talabot's incredibe DJ Kicks mix last year. The recently shared "Let The Groove Get In" is a sleek edit of the Justin Timberlake track with an impressive breakdown and well crafted vocal hook.



Mix of The Week: Whadafunk & Mario Bee - "Super Wavy"
Brooklyn via Buffalo producer/DJ recently mixed this hip hop mix for New York based clothing company Whadafunk featuring tracks from Eloheeeem, A-N-T, Supra Natural, and SanchMasta. Combing classic boom-bap with ethereal, heady beats, the nearly half-hour mix boasts a talented collection of MC's. Download below and check out the cover artwork from fellow Buffalo ex-pat Witchoria.

The Breadmakerz are the minds of Deft Aphid and Loki da Trixta. With Brooklyn emcee Loki over the instrumental productions of Deft Aphid, who was born and raised in Piekary Slaskie, Poland, they have developed a glitch-hop duo. The official music video release for their song "Polska Freska" follows the two through Poland. Hands rub two złoty - Polish bills - together and the camera front-profiles the faces of Poland, young and old, many of whom are sporting a loaf of bread.


Three remixes have been released by some of Buffalo's favorites: SwaggleRock, comprised by Buzz Trillington and Shooter McNappin, come through at 100 bpm; a reggae inspired tune from Bigski and now Brooklyn-based Mario Bee with his progressive glitched trip remix.


Tonight, Deep Thinka Records presents a "Polska Freska Remix Party" at Duke's in Allentown.

Former Rochester/Buffalo DJ and current New York based artist Mario Bee was the producer behind Dr.Ooo's bass-heavy club track "Womb Raider." The song's Maltdisney directed video is as infectiously chaotic as the next level instrumental that seamlessly combines hip hop, UK bass, and grime influences. "Tomb," the nearly four minute, more polished mix is the title track of Mario's debut EP out today on Austrian label Tiefparterre records. Also included on the release are remixes by Graz producers Simon/Off and APLOT, who offers a more atmospheric take on the original as well as 222 Oceans, who provides a futuristic house rework. Stream the entire thing below and head to Juno download to purchase the tracks.

The Library, a college hangout nestled within the AMC theatre plaza in the wholesome town of Amherst, is where we meet. I spot Ryan “Arehouse” Howze walking towards the bar, so I follow behind him. I make my way through a bunch of heavy metal hooligans sporting pink hair and acid-washed jeans and biker bros with mohawks scattered about outside. There seems to be some sort of punk rock show going on next door at The Forvm. I get to the entrance of the bar. “I probably should have just waited in there instead of scoping you out like a creep,” I blurt out. Doh. Why did I just say that? But he’s as much of a nerd as I, so my awkward comment rolls off him as he shrugs. We make our way to the back of the bar to a cozy nook with shelves of novels. The lighting is dim and there’s nobody around.

We settle in and get to it. When Ryan begins speaking about what he loves, you can’t really stop him. It’s all esoteric-sounding to me as he throws out terms about syncopation and rhythm, and I just nod like I know what he’s talking about. I let him continue to talk while I gaze at his stunning visage, bathe in his pensiveness, and get lost in his deep-brown eyes as rose petals fall from the sky and tiny bubbles float in a sea of mist. I wet my pants. Seal’s “Kiss from a Rose” plays and I’m mesmerized. Wait, DJs are totally full of themselves. Snap out of it. Okay so that didn't really happen, but I've had my heart broken by a few musicians. What girl hasn't? Oh yeah, smart girls. But anyway, I digress. Ryan's one of Buffalo's more likeable DJ types. He's not the guido-esque Chip Strip DJ that people are probably use to. He's a music nerd, and an actual nerd. Not the social butterfly you'd expect someone working within the Buffalo bar scene to be. Ryan's modest about his craft, always keeping in mind that there's someone ten steps ahead of him. He immerses himself fully in music, holding down a job at Guitar Center where he “doesn‘t make shit" but he gets to fiddle with instruments all day, so it's cool. He claims he‘s not fashionable, although he did show up to our interview in a very clean cut-looking varsity sweater jacket from JC Penney (tag still on, by the way. Totally nerdy. Also, wearing clothes your mom gets you from JC Penney. Totally nerdy.) I'm done ragging. Really though, Ryan's got his shit together. And I was honored to chat with him about his latest moves.

Jessica Brant: I want to know how you got into the DJ thing. Do you come from a musical family? Did that influence you?
Ryan Howze: Well I always played instruments. I played in bands and stuff when I was in high school. My brother was a DJ at the time (DJ Greg "Twist".) So he introduced me to DJing and showed me how to DJ. But I never had any equipment or anything like that. So a few years later, when I graduated high school, like my first year in college, I met a couple guys at the radio station (at Buffalo State College, 91.3 WBNY), and they were all DJs, and I wanted to get into production. I really didn’t want to start out DJing. I didn’t like it. But I want to produce music, and once I started producing music I wanted to find a way to perform my music. So I figured I’ll just do it because it’ll be easier. And that’s how I fell into it. I just met different people and started playing out.

JB: Were you a theatre geek in high school?
RH: Yeah, I was a band geek and a drama nerd.

JB: What was your favorite play?
RH: I mean we didn’t really do anything that I particularly liked. We did “Bye Bye Birdie.” I was Hugo Peabody. I was a nerdy, self-loathing character. I had to play him and it was really interesting.

JB: So it wasn’t a departure for you?
RH: (Laughs) yeah, yeah…

JB: Do you remember your first set? What was that like?
RH: My first performance was at Merlins (now Blue Monk). I played a local showcase with Frosty Tone. They were guys that did Dubstep and drum and bass shows and I got forty minutes to play. And I was so excited and so nervous at the same time. And…I played my little short set and everybody liked it. I played some of my own music and music that I liked. It was really cool to see people react to what I was playing and people were dancing and having a good time and I was the one that was doing it.

JB: How do you describe your sound? I didn’t think you were really big on Dubstep. At the time, was it the thing to be into?
RH: When I first started playing…Dubstep was not the thing to be into. There was a select group of people who really knew what it was…there was only really one or two parties who played Dubstep, but people didn’t like it…but I fell into a group of people who loved it, Mario Bee and the Frosty Tone crew. I got to see a lot of different UK acts come in and different acts around the country come in and come to buffalo and play and dubstep started to get bigger and bigger. I would even challenge different parties. I played the Communist Party, which was all electro house. I would consider myself, to answer your question, a multi-genre DJ…I like to play all kinds of different genres of music. That’s just how I am. But I did start off only exclusively playing Dubstep…I remember playing with DJ Medison at Tigersapien. We opened for them at Pure Nightclub. Medison and I were going back to back and…we played Dubstep that night and it was kind of a bigger deal that we did it for such a long time and nobody thought it was going to go over well but we didn’t care at that point and it actually went over pretty well.

JB: What the Faaaaaaaaa…Sorry my recorder turned off I think…
Potty Break. Okay back to it…

JB: Who are some of your favorite Buffalo DJs?
RH: Mario Bee, Medison, Brotherbear, of course, Buzz Trillington, Criminal Sounds, who helps me a lot with some of my productions. Universally, Heartbreak and Munchi, those guys really help me out with my Moombahton stuff, my slower stuff.

JB: What’s up with Queen City Cartel (Production company he was a partner in)? Are you still a part of that?
RH: They disbanded. We all just sort of went our own separate ways…it was a fun ride. There’s no hard feelings…

JB: What did you do there?
RH: We would book acts and bring them to buffalo, arrange parties. We had a monthly party that did really well called FRICTION. It was at DBGBs. Honestly, We owe them a ton for what they helped us out with when we were first getting started.

JB: Nice, nice. ::gives weird stare:: You still have the tag on your jacket…
RH: Where?
JB: It’s underneath your armpit.
RH: Aw sick ::Blushes and looks at armpit::

JB: So how do I know when I’m at an Arehouse show? What is unique to you?
RH: I always liked higher energy music, even when I played Dubstep…I love syncopation and polyrhythms and a lot of percussive music, that‘s why I‘m a music nerd. A lot of tribal, kind of ethnic sounds, Latin-influenced stuff.

JB: Okay so tell me more about the Halloween costume idea.
RH: Well since I cut my hair (He rocks a frohawk, fro + mohawk)), there's been this joke that I'm going to be the DJ Green Velvet for Halloween and I think I'm actually going to do it. Green Velvet is this DJ that has a neon green mohawk. Black guy with a mohawk and he wears glasses. He's been to Buffalo twice within the past few years.

JB: Sounds like a male stripper name
RH: People have male stripper names. Basha? That's a male stripper name. (laughs)

JB: What are you working on right now?
RH: There’s a night my brother and I started called “Music Love” and that’s going to be at The Bend (on Allen) every Sat night. People have been asking us for years to play together, and we’ve never played together at the exact same time, back to back or anything, mostly because we use different formats. He plays on CDs or records and I always used a computer…but now we’ve kind of found a secret weapon, a way to mix together, and it works out well. I also host an open mic at the Gypsy Parlor on Grant Street every Tuesday night. I’ve always been a songwriter, try to be a singer…I just kind of wanted to add to what Buffalo already has as far as giving people a place where you can go and just walk in with a guitar and just go play. I just want to help out the music scene and help build that up.

And as the night wrapped up, we said our goodbyes, had a few laughs, and I whipped out his headshot. I wanted him to sign it, so and seal it with a kiss, so I would forever remember this day.

It becomes clear very early into Obey The Triangles! that it was only a matter of time before MC's Dr.Ooo, Mic Excel and Mario Bee joined forces to make an album that brings together the creative energy of some best talent from the Buffalo hip hop scene. The project, titled The Bermuda Triangle, features the Latin flavored Jazzy boom-bap production from Essential Vitamins Crew's Covert with cuts by DJ Your Mom's. As always, Dr.Ooo delivers countless quotable lines including a rant about silk robes on "El Backyard Fuego," which boasts one of the most memorable instrumentals from the record. Former Buffalo, now New York based DJ Mario Bee makes his presence known with an impressive lyrical debut that along with EVC rapper Mic Excel sounds well suited for the golden age hip hop era sound the project captures. 

By successfully drawing from the past and adding elements of their personalities, the album serves as an important reminder that the genre originated as street art focused on promoting urban culture rather than making club bangers. Other notable tracks include "Aka.the.two.piece.combo." and "crepe.recipe". The album can be streamed and downloaded on the Essential Vitamins Crew bandcamp page.

The collaborative nature of the Buffalo hip hop and DJ scenes always makes for an interesting blend of creative talent. Whether it be Dr. Ooo's recent banger, "Womb Raider.," produced by Mario Bee or MC duo Mic & Life's work with fellow EVC producer Cove, the convergence of these-like minded artists consistently results in some of the best tracks released locally.

The latest example of this type of project is The Bermuda Triangle, which brings together MC's Mic Excel and Dr.Ooo with producer Cove and DJ Mario Bee, who delivers a verse on the group's debut single "1983 Remix." The track begins an eerie sample from what sounds like an old documentary before going into the spacey "1983" beat from LA producer Flying Lotus' debut album. Highlights include Mario's verse which contains a shout out to Artvoice and Mic's quotable line "I wanna live my life, my family wants me in a cubicle," along with Dr. Ooo's signature dizzying flow that feels perfectly suited for the wavy instrumental. Listen and download the track below.

Hip hop is a weird animal. The genre has been declared dead more times than Rock 'n Roll, yet still plugs along. Rather than think of it as a dying tree though, it's better to think of it as one that keeps blossoming, with branches growing and pointing in all different directions. The acts that stand the test of time are the ones who never limit themselves to one branch.

Hippie dippy analogies aside, it's simply a fun sandbox to play in. Few are more playful than Denver's Two Fresh, who are bringing their frenetic yet driving performance to Duke's tonight. Joined by Buffalo's own Quinton Brock, as well as supporting sets from Mario Bee and buffaBLOG Holiday Party show stealer  Dr. Ooo, there is nary a weak link on the bill. Doors are at 9 and tickets are a paltry $10. Come in from the cold.

Buffalo collective, Toats Orig, has grown and maintained for the past year or so, throwing sporadic events and releasing occasional videos. That's about to change tonight when they kick off their new weekly event "FADED." A varying lineup of local performers to soundtrack a night that will surely become a hilarious Sunday morning anecdote. So for those of you that left one of the Dark Discos wanting more, consider your desires satisfied.

December 21, 2012 has come and gone, and nothing happened as far as I know. Hopefully some astrological shift adjusts the social decorum of this and upcoming generations but let's be honest, that was definitely not going to happen over night.

Regardless, Toats Orig is taking advantage of the non-apocalyptic outcome with a party tonight. We're Alive, an exclamatory title for the Soundlab rager that will commence at 10 p.m.

Unable to attend because I'm tucked away in Syracuse for winter break, everyone that can go should  because it will surely be a great time. Rufus Gibson always performs a fantastic set; Mario B is treking back from Rochester; Buzz Trillington and Shooter McNappin (together known as SwaggleRock) in one year have improved greatly and really come into their own as DJs; KooLiE HigH, a local hip-hop crew that claims "Real Nigga Shit but stayed in skool and played it Kool"; Dr. Ooo is a Buffalo favorite of mine, he performed at our holiday party so if you missed out on that you have a second chance. 

Keep the tradition alive tonight at Soundlab as the 4th Annual Saturnalia Festival will take place tonight. Prior to the collapse of the Roman civilization, their people commemorated the winter solstice with a massive orgy and party that celebrated raucous behavior and role-reversal in the honor of the god Saturn. In contemporary Buffalo, this celebration has been a seasonal staple for the lovers of dancing. Tonight's theme features DJ battles with BACEFACE vs. NECKBRACE, MIOSI vs. BROTHER BEAR, SHOOTER MCNAPPIN vs. BUZZ TRILLINGTON, and MARIO BEE vs. STUNTMAN. Admission is just $5 and if you bring a canned food donation for the Bread of Life Food Pantry you will receive one dollar off the price. You can also get one dollar off by wearing a toga! And two dollars if you do both!

Mario Bee has been active in Buffalo's lively dance scene since his Buffalo State days. He has played at nearly every Buffalo venue you could name at the top of your head- Soundlab, Social, Dukes, The Vault and more. He's also experienced some pivotal career highlights like opening up for some low-key dance artists like Skrillex and Diplo, and in this short interview Buffablog (aka me, through a cell phone) converses with the man behind the moniker in order to get a glimpse into the side of his occupation you wouldn't get from attending his set, that you wouldn't internalize from shakin' it on the dance floor, not-so-soberly. In between the accidental hang-ups, job shifts to show up to, and long-winded tangents, the following was finally scrapped up for you curious readers.

Mario Bee Ladies and Gents. 

BUFFABLOG : So, what's your real last name?
MB: Burks. B-U-R-K-S

BUFFABLOG: Whats your favorite venue to play at?
MB: Hands down, Sound lab, just because it's a basement bar, it gets very dark, it's equipped with proper sound and lighting, it reminds me of a UK club, it's the perfect atmosphere for the kind of music I like to play. I also have an emotional attachment to it because I played my first show there.

BUFFABLOG: Speaking of which, when and how did that come about in particular.  How did you get your first gig?
MB: I had a show on the Buff State radio. In 2007, I reached out to D-Star, he had an event at sound lab and I sent him a Facebook message and asked him if I could DJ with him. My name was DJ Dizzy at the time, 91.3FM radio. I played with him and Teen Wolf who was known as K-ross then. It was pretty surreal, my parents were there, I was so nervous. I practiced so much, I was working at the time and I had spent all my money on records.

BUFFABLOG: Let's go back into time, give us some background on your history with DJing.
MB: My mom, my aunt and my uncle would listen to a lot of electronic and techno sounding music, freestyle house that was popular in the 90s, and euro-dance house, that sparked my interest. In like 2005, my friend Warren got me interested in scratching, I was into hip-hop culture at the time, and that was sort of my gate-way into the physical aspect of djing. I asked my dad for a dj-set up for my high-school graduation gift. Then I really started practicing on it all summer, I went hog-wild, on the internet a lot, researching things and purchasing records  The internet really carried my passion.  By the time I got to college in the fall all I cared about was DJing. A lot of the music I was getting into I couldn't buy locally, it was mostly from the UK.

BUFFABLOG: So the UK has had a strong influence of your style. 
MB: Yes, I even went to England for a study-abroad program during school and when I was over there, I participated a lot. I went to a lot of shows and was experiencing things. I saw a lot of Dubstep shows, I was buying a lot of early dub-step, Caspa, Digital Mystikz. I paid attention to a lot of record labels too, Deep Medi, deep-route dub-step, sub bass, minimal production and maximum tuning. I got into Zomby. I really tried immerse myself into English culture.

BUFFABLOG: What do you listen for when deciding what tracks you want to put on and how does crowd interaction come into play?
MB: Mood. Dark moods. Spontaneity, something that is going to throw off the crowd but still going to keep them listening. I want them to be intrigued. I also listen for aggressiveness, so that the listener is challenged. The crowd interaction is crucial. I'm not opposed to melodies, but I don't  really DJ melodically, I listen for atypical compositions, stretched out verses with a sample that you only hear once, deep rolling bass-lines. I'm attracted to tribal sounds, jungle-esque scenery, things that will make the crowd feel primitive.

BUFFABLOG: And what do you do when you gather that the crowd isn't feeling it?
MB: Crowd control is a huge thing. Sometimes it's very hard to appeal to everyone, so I'll sometimes I'll stop a song midway and when I'm not sober enough I'll say something in the mic, whether it's a joke, or "everybody say yeah", that kind of thing. I try to put something in every set that's for everyone. I'm caught between pleasing everyone and playing whatever I want. As a DJ, when you get into a specific mood or atmosphere it's hard to stop and play a top 40 song, I can't do that.

BUFFABLOG: Interesting, so what message would you say you're trying to send out to the crowd personally. What are some of your principles as a DJ?
MB: I want to carry to them the sounds of an overlooked culture, since I have an obsession with the UK, to make the crowd understand the main-stream music they listen to has roots. For instance, in regards to dub-step and artists like Skrillex. People recognized who he was after they found out that he was in a band, they latched onto the genre when they found out he was in a popular hard-core band and people associate dub-step with Skrillex, but there is a more pure form of dub-step that is more underground. I like to expose the audience to that, to tracks from people like Mahla, Coki, Zomby, Krome Star, Digital Mystikz, people I mentioned earlier.  I like playing things that are actually at the heart of what people are listen to.

BUFFABLOG: Last question, what's your favorite thing about playing in Buffalo?
MB: People are loyal to Buffalo, socially, if people are set out on one specific thing they're gonna support it until its bad for them. With little to no introduction to new things, the Buffalo crowd is very dedicated and loyal and receptive and ready to be groomed for something new.

He'll be playing this Friday at Soundlab for the Only Comrades official launch party. If you choose to attend you can expect a night of black attire and dim lighting underneath some deep sounds being channeled by this guy & others.

Tonight the biggest names in the Buffalo DJ scene are coming together for a Project X-esque pool party. Will it possibly end up like this? One can only hope.

"Big Freedia, The Dick Eater, The Late Night Creeper, Stalkin Yo' Man, You Betta Believe." Big Freedia will be performing at Soundlab tonight with special local guests Jack Topht and DJ Mario Bee.  Otherwise known as Freddie Ross, she is an American eficiando of Bounce music.  This genre of music is hip-hop derived from New Orleans and can be described as booty bouncing and twerk worthy.  The "Queen Diva" has performed worldwide and has shared the stage with artists such as Spank Rock, Ninjasonik, and Snoop Dogg. 

Since it is Bounce music, dancing is highly emphasized.  On Big Freedia's website, there is a section offering lessons on how to move.  "The 'pussy' is the focus of the 'girl' dance motions, though those without a physical one will be put in touch with their own etheric 'pussy'. The class will also learn different exercises to promote fluidity in the pelvic area, even for those with limited mobility. And it's a lot of FUN!"




A quote from his Facebook description, local hip-hop/grime/punk rapper "Jack Topht would like to entertain and dazzle you with his wit and juxtapositioning of pithy, connotation drenched, signifiers building to a crescendo of zeitgeist defining perfect wisdom forever. also probably some sex jokes."

The very talented DJ Mario Bee will also be opening.  From the local Toats Orig collective, Mario Bee loves his crowd and knows how to make them wile out.
