While other studios might only use "modeled emulators" for their "plugins" - I've often preferred instead to use the real deal, whether tube, transformer or tape, whenever the coloration of these has been desired. While it's super rare that I do layback to tape, for this album of contemporary afrobeat I did last week, where the client name checked the likes of Fela Kuti, Antibalas, along with some albums I did for the likes of Budos Band, Sharon Jones, and St. Paul & The Broken Bones, as the vibe they were wanting for their digital mixes - recording their tracks first onto 1/4" 15ips 2-track analog reel via my Otari MX5050-B2 has been just the thing to bring out some sweet sounding grime, saturation & punch that works perfectly for their goals. Shout out to local South Austin tech Tim Allen for getting this machine purring recently. And for any out there looking for a similar funkification of their mixes, give me a holla.

Just feeling a little nostalgic about when I was still spry enough to go to music festivals. And thought Occupy Wall Street might turn out to be "the revolution" (but in a good way).

‘Dust Fest’ or, when I realized OWS wasn’t the revolution

It was 2011, near the end of a long drought and shortly after the Lost Pines Fire in Bastrop destroyed my favorite forest. Fun Fun Fun Fest had just moved to Auditorium Shores in Austin and the lin…

“These cuts make your blood rise, your pulse quicken, your pace quicken, your sense of danger and seedy adventure awaken” — Aquarium Drunkard on that new #BudosBand record https://aquariumdrunkard.com/2023/07/06/the-budos-band-frontiers-edge/ #music #funk #vinyl
The Budos Band : Frontier’s Edge : Aquarium Drunkard

The Budos Band swaggers into the fray in Frontier’s Edge with a brilliant squall of brass and a sinuous rhythm section, splitting the difference between classic 1970s blaxploitation and a serpentine ethio-jazz groove. The Brooklyn-born large ensemble—which includes a full horn line and multiple percussionists in addition to the standard rock instruments—made six albums and two EPs on soul-funk revivalist Daptone Records. Now, they’re continuing the saga on their own Diamond West label.
