TRACE ELEMENTS - ELEVATOR MUSAK MIXTAPE (2006)
(Mixed By DJ XPLANE)
Over 55 Minutes of new music from Gold Coast's finest hip hop crew Trace Elements featuring freestyles and all new original tracks produced by M-Phazes, Jase, and Gold Coast Beat Magician Mules (Choose Mics).
Alongside Syntax, Tactic One and M-Phazes, Trace Elements are joined by some of Australia's best emcees including Weapon X & GMC, 13th Son, Whisper, Fergo One, Haunts and Baptist.
Elevator Muzak also features collaborations with North Carolina heavyweight Supastition and Wax Reform emcee Raks One.
A complete production from start to finish, many blends and custom song structuring in effect throughout. Created from references and acapellas.
Currently clocking in at over 20,000 downloads, so if you haven't yet heard it you can download this mixtape from DJ Xplane's website at http://www.djxplane.com.au
Since September 2006, Trace Elements have been carving out a name for themselves as one of Queensland's premiere hip hop groups. Not only have they had a large amount of success with three national tours, but group member M-Phazes recently found himself up for an Aria Nomination after remixing Bliss N Eso's breakthrough album ‘Day of the Dog'.
With 20,000 mixtapes pushed entirely off their own backs, group member Syntax is branching out and going solo with another free mixtape expected to push even more.
“The tape is called IOU's, and I've been sitting on it for two years now. It doesn't follow normal mixtape conventions and is very retrospective. It's not a hip hop mixtape entirely for hip hop people; my hope is that everyone, regardless of music genre allegiance, will begin to look at hip hop in the positive light that it should be viewed in”.
Available through various internet resources, the free mixtape is a synthesis of time, effort and 10 years of hip hop experience.
“It's taken 10 years for me to feel as though I'm a confident enough to release a solo effort. 10 years of life experience added with 10 years of crappy shows and a decent amount of good ones too. I love to write, not just music, and I've put all my thoughts and ideas over that 10 years into a book”.
As an added bonus with the mixtape, Syntax has written a Downloadable PDF IOU's booklet, containing thoughts and stories that were 10 years in the making, as well as the successful Bliss N Eso tour blogs and the Supastition National Australian tour blogs, packed with behind the scenes stories and photographs.
Featuring production from some of Australia's best hip hop producers, IOU's will help redefine the ‘Mixtape' genre by giving the listener something pure, something professional, and something that means more than just music...
"The new drop from the incredible Gold Coast MC by the name of SYNTAX. Contains original production from the one and only producer extraordinaire M-Phazes, Mules one half of the awesome Gold Coast group Choose Mics and also from Syd City is SDub with his soulful sounds. Featuring Tactic One of the Gold Coast's own Trace Elements & A-Diction of MEL.
This is not your regular 'mixtape', these are straight up blends, every track with the exception of the original productions have been switched up for other beats. The way it works is SYNTAX will record to a vast selection of beats and then provide me with all the references and acapella tracks. This allows for complete custom control over the sound of the mixtape, splitting up verses, creating custom choruses and also developing intricate beat sequencing usually not practically possible with regular recordings.
