Plus Move have had remix requests from “France to Japan to Milwaukee.” Last Saturday at Axis they played their first big show. Mihailoff: “Our goal for this summer is to get our name out there, play as many shows as possible, finish all the originals that we have in the works, and shoot a couple videos. And we’ll see where that takes us.”
Hip-hop is the second-most-blogged genre, but that hasn’t slowed down the mixtape industry. The newest buzzing Boston mix comes from JAWN P. with Blood Count. “The inspiration came from a four-track cassette tape DJ GEMINI gave me back in the day,” he writes via AOL. “It had all sorts of breakbeats with him cutting his ass off. Last summer I stumbled across the cassette, dusted off the Fostex x-15 four-track, and spit over most of the breaks. That ended up being the framework.” From there he contacted some of Boston’s finest (ESOTERIC, 7L, D-TENSION) to add fresh new beats. Catch a juicy clip from the 40-minute mix at this column on-line. Jawn’s next live appearance is May 19 at McGann’s with MC KABIR.
