Will Holland aka Quantic on the impotance of VINYL

brought to you by the amazing people at FRIENDSWELOVE.com ,Will Holland talks about how important the old vinyl you 'inherit' is...which leads me nicely to a plug for 'Inheritance Wax':

about Inheritance Wax

Inheritance Wax started a few years ago, when Ashwan was working part time with the elderly in Liverpool, UK. As they passed on, families would come and clear their homes of all belongings which inevitably meant whole record collections being thrown out each time.

Being a dj and producer, as well as nostalgic for the days when you could walk into some ones place, glance at the record collection and book shelf and get a sense of what that person is about, Ashwan salvaged the records and set about making new record covers and sampling and remixing the original vinyl to create new art from the old.

The project is heavily hip hop influenced but instead of hours of crate digging, the sample base has come from this limited palate, with the hope that a different and unique sound will entail that also somehow pays tribute to the artists Liverpool roots.

The music is free to download, while the original vinyl covers will be sealed in air tight bubbles for preservation, turning the discarded object back into one of value and meaning. These will be exhibited together with the music over the coming months in the UK and across Europe. Please check www.ashwan.co.uk for up to date information on these.

You can download the mixtape free of charge here (it fits on one side of a C90):

WORDAMOUTH presents...

WORDAMOUTH is the cunning disguise of London-based spoken word artists Angry Sam and curious. The pair currently host two nights a month in London - FreeStyles and OPEN/WIDE.

FreeStyles at Favela Chic presents the best spoken word artists in the country in one of the cities hottest venues for FREE. Previous artists include HKB FiNN, Polar Bear, Johnny Fluffypunk, Anna Le, Session Noisses and The Savage Nomads. The venue's restaurant is open from 6pm and the night runs from 7:30-1am blending spoken word acts with sick DJs spinning everything from classic 90's boom-bap to Dubstep floor-smashers!! A must see for spoken word fans and hiphop heads alike.

OPEN/WIDE at Alaska Studios plants WORDAMOUTH right on the river in Waterloo. Occupying a charming and intimate performance space at one of London's most welcoming recording/rehearsal studios, OPEN/WIDE is an open-mic night with the emphasis on supporting emerging talent within poetry, music, comedy and more. Where the majority of London's open-mic night follow a poetry slam format, OPEN/WIDE has a more subtle competitiveness with acts being invited to perform at FreeStyles as well as one performer being selected each month for a Summer Slam finals at Alaska to win a days recording at the studios. However, there are no points, rounds or eliminations on the night, just good vibes, diverse poets and a blagged feature performer! Last month saw a truly unique performance from Dutch poets L&D who only perform as a duo outside of Holland. At home they are slam contest rivals and have both won the Dutch Slam against each other previously.
