LOOKOUT! PRESENTS...WED SEPT 10TH - STACY EPPS LIVE! AND DJ CAVALRY'S BIRTHDAY!
What's up Lookout fam - it's been a little while since we all got together properly and had a serious skanking session. It's time.
This Wednesday we're lucky enough to have legendary rare groove vocalist and MC Stacy Epps passing through to bless us for a moment. Her sound has been described as blending elements of the most spiritual essences of Alice Coltrane, mixed with the abstraction of Bjork, the spaciness of Radiohead and the drums of J-Dilla...so we figured she'd be right up your street! You've probably heard her song Floatin' already from Gilles Peterson's most recent installment - Brownswood Bubbler's 3, and hot off the Unity stage at Hip Hop Kemp Stacy is ready to rock Lookout! with something in her back pocket for all you soul, hip hop, jazz and whatever's good music heads...

If that wasn't enough reason to pass through - it's DJ Cavalry's birthday! Confounding us with his impossibly on-point sets since our 'Hot Things 2008' session way back in January he has never disappointed us, and continues to live up to the title we introduced him under. Come show you love him as much as we do! (We may even provide cake...)
Lookout! crew old and new - this Wednesday is a reunion, a birthday party, an amazing live show, and a serious dancing session - this needs to be the night the whole family comes back together. Come sweat, hug, eat, sing, talk, drink, and SHOCK OUT with us!
So that's:
LIVE
Stacey Epps
Everett Harell

DJ Cavalry - BIRTHDAY BOY

THE DIARY Volume 1.5 (20 Years of the Remix) now available for free download at WWW.MUSICOFSUBSTANCE.COM!
“This CD just shows how much Chris Read knows about historic Hip Hop production techniques - Its just a shame he wasn't creating this stuff during the eras he's covering as we would probably rate the man as being up there with Paul C, Pete Rock, Premier and all! - I can't think of another Hip Hop CD I've played so much in years” (ANDY SMITH - PORTISHEAD)
"Chris continues the rap anthology concept of his super-dope 'The Diary' megamix in the shape of a remix project, re-lacing acapellas from 89-2009 with historically accurate beats. 'The Diary 1.5' serves as a great platform for Chris to showcase his ample beat-making skills whilst referencing those who've inspired him." (DJ WOODY - FORMER WORLD ITF CHAMPION)
“Wicked! The perfect companion to The Diary Mixtape. Shows an impressive knowledge of sounds from all eras.” (MR THING - FORMER WORLD DMC CHAMPION)
"Crazy! This is Rap History in the making. Chris proves his production skills on this one to the fullest. A wonderful and refreshing journey through all eras of hip hop. Double thumbs up!" (MARC HYPE - FORMER ITF CHAMPION)
