No
Luck Club 'Turntables on Bayou' (Expansion Team)
Based in
Vancouver,
Canada,
no luck club (NLC) is an instrumental Hip-Hop group
which combines turntable improvisation with sample-based
rhythms. Founded by the Chan Brothers (Matt &
Trevor from RAP ATTACK's CJSF), no
luck clubs beat-driven soundscapes have been compared to
the works of DJ Shadow, Kid Koala, Cut
Chemist, Coldcut and Handsome Boy
Modelling School.
The group started in 2000 when their mix CD and demo,
Newfangled Moments, resulted in a recording contract
with Dan the Automator's 75Ark Records.
NLCs debut album, Happiness, was originally scheduled
for an August 2001 release but unfortunately 75Ark
imploded that year. Fortunately, the project was rescued
by Ill Boogie Records and a revised version of
Happiness was released in September 2003 to wide
acclaim.
In late 2004,
Vancouver
DMC DJ champion, Paul Belen (Pluskratch)
joined the group to complement NLCs infectious live
show; a continuous, instrumental mix of music styles,
tempos and moods. As the groups rhythm section, Trevor
incorporates an arsenal of laptops and MIDI keyboards to
generate the grooves and to manipulate samples.
Meanwhile, Matt and Paul are the musical improvisers;
employing their turntablist skills and a variety of
instrument effects units to create lead lines,
additional rhythm and harmonies.
no luck clubs latest release, Prosperity (2007
Expansion Team), is a diverse, genre-smashing sonic
collage comprised of four musical suites. The album is
also the second chapter of a planned trilogy of
recordings inspired by the Chinese deities symbolizing
luck and good fortune. A self-proclaimed strange brew of
Hip-Hop, jazz-funk, scratching, tall tales and humour,
no luck club is an idiosyncratic project seeking a place
in todays progressive music culture...
Rap
Attack takes a "WHAT'S UPPER" look this week with:
Darin
"The CEO"Gloe:
"Please add: ceo@latenightrecordpool.com to your
mailing list and my new call letters for reporting are
WESE/KBDS/AOL Radio"...
Vernassa Fields
(Live365.com-SPYN
CYCAL): "I'm working on building my Christian/Faith
based Hip-Hop music library for specialty programming
every Sunday on Spyn Cycal Raydio. Every Sunday will air
Christian/Faith based Hip-Hop all day... Please service
me with material to my address listed above in
NASTY NEWS"...
Damian Rodriguez
(KGNU-CO):
"Hey all, shouts to Jessica @ Spectre for
hooking up some tix to go see the Gym Class Hero’s.
New school kids w/ the old live feel to them. I wasn’t
sure what to expect w/ their big single getting a
commercial push, but they repped for the underground. I
missed K-os, I really wanted to see them, but the
2nd act…was worthy of me not remembering
their name. warm weather means more summer concerts &
fun. Nas & Ice Cube are coming, 2 of my
faves.
Ghetto highlight of the week:
I was
outta commish last week with my kid (yes I have a 1yr, 4
month old now) going to the emergency room. While I was
there waiting to check out w/ paperwork, I hear ppl in
the waiting room faking a back pain to get a
prescription for pain killers. Yes the doctor saw the,
said they had no real symtoms, yet their back tryin to
do the crack head hustle.
Moral:
You’re like MC Hammer on crack humpty when you’re
faking pains & illnesses for drugs. Sad fact is this
probably goes on a lot. I have no clue cuz I don’t have
issues w/ pills or anything worse. Until next week,
enjoy & be safe. No crack head hustles"...

(KUSF-SF):
"Shouts go out to the Bash Bros. for dropping off
copies of their new double CD A Good Day To Die/Dirty

solid production from the likes of B-Sides and others.

"If you wanta make sure that I am rockin your music
please send it to the addy below, otherwise I dont know
it even exists. I dont care if the station gets music,
but they dont inform me if it comes in or anything.
Dont take me wrong, I love my station, they gave me my
big break.. We just have a communication
failure.

(WUNH-NH):
"I found it hilarious last night as I was running on the
treadmill at the gym that the top story of the night was
that Anna Nicole Smith died of a drug overdose. I
thought everyone knew this weeks ago. I guess maybe
people were hoping there was foul play to further fuel
the story. That would have been justice served,
considering I’m pretty sure that she banged that 89 year
old millionaire to deal. There are worse ways to check
out though…much worse. So somebody please explain
Amy Winehouse to me, because I would rather chew
broken glass and wash it down with Iodine rather than
hear her single again…
Kudos
to you, Tony Yayo! You increased your street cred
for snuffing a 14 year old kid! Yayo, who encountered
the teen son of rival Jimmy “Henchman”
Rosemond, decided that he would really get his thug
on by smacking the kid who was wearing a t-shirt
depicting the logo “Czar Entertainment”,
Henchman’s management company. Surprisingly, it’s not
the most insidious thing that Tony Yayo has ever done.
After all, he did make us suffer through “Thoughts of
a Predicate Felon.”
Lastly, my eyes roll at the news alert informing me that
Eazy-E’s 16 year old daughter will be
releasing an album. Although a far cry from the gangsta
rap of her sperm donor father, Erin Bria Wright’s
album will be, according to her, “girlie”. Don’t
worry though, the disc includes re-makes of “Real
Muthaphuckkin G’s”, “Nutz On Ya Chin” and “Hit The
Hooker”...
