ART OF WAR :: Battles - The Yabba

Battles - The Yabba

Battles have been bringing their experimental sound to the masses since 2002. The current line-up is guitarist/ keyboardist Ian Williams (formerly of Don Caballero and Storm & Stress), guitarist/ bassist Dave Konopka (formerly of Lynx), and drummer John Stanier (formerly of Helmet). They recently played at Bonaroo.

I came across "The Yabba" a few days ago and I was blow away by the whole thing. The layering is intense and the audio and video really mesh well together. I could easily see myself playing this in a DJ set. -No Boats

O.G. SKOOL :: Run-DMC - Peter Piper

I once had a DJ scratch and sample record called "DJ Tools" that had a ton of great samples on it. There were at least 3 from this Run-DMC track alone. Listen, check it, know your roots.
