This will be a night if nights. The Nada Motel crew is hosting a killer show at Amendment 21 in Reno. Check out the facebook event here. Look for openers Process Evolution Collective and In Space with Lasers to open up, followed by The Polish Ambassador and Ample Mammal. Hot shit. Show starts at 9:30. Only 5 clams gets you through the doors. Wear your favorite jumpsuit and you’ll get crazy quantities of high fives from the ambassador himself.

I’ve had this acapella in my collection for years. Rubix was featured on a Fatbeats compilation some years ago with his single Get it Crackin’. I’m not sure if he’s still doing the emcee thing, but I’m going to give him a ring over at Myspace shortly, especially since it says he’s from the Bay Area. Here’s my Remix of Get it Crackin’. Some space-type–glitchy-hip-hop-electro-ish. It is also posted over at my Facebook Page where you can find a boatload of other tracks. I’ll be writing about them here shortly.

I found out about N.A.S.A.’s remix contest a few weeks ago and found some time to churn out a phatty remix that incorporates a 4 different tracks off of their upcoming album, The Spirit of Apollo. You’ll hear Ghostface Killa, Fatlip (formerly of The Pharcyde), M.I.A., and Santigold. Here’s the link to have a listen. Maybe I’ll win.

This is another banger from the Ample Mammal archives. I call it, Daddy Fat Sacks. Listen and you will understand, hopefully. Look for more Ample Mammal original beats, remixes and shows to be posted in the near future. To stay most up to date about goings on, add me on Facebook. Yea.

I was doing my monthly sweep of the hype machine, on the hunt for some acapellas to work into the beats (Tip number 568 for all you producers out there). I stumbled across a remix competition for these cats known as The Delusionists. They’re based out of the U.K.

Was definitely feeling the flow of Ben Black and The Invisible Frenz, though I’d missed the remix competition. Decided to have a go at a remix anyways, and sent the track to the Delusionists. They likey. So, here it is. Ample Mammal’s first official track. It’s a remix, but it’s a banger. Enjoy.
