Blow Your Speakers

Last time I saw Nohaptimus Prime (a.k.a. Noah Keating) we were sipping supermodel cocktails in his American Brewery Loft apartment in Boston’s upscale Jamaica Plains neighborhood. Not fully unpacked from a recent relocation from sunny southern California, his red-brick walled room was lined with records still in boxes, bubble-wrapped synthesizers, stacks of books, crates, amps, and kitchen supplies. In the center of the room was one of those tiny circular-shaped exercise trampolines that the four of us would in turn spontaneously jump on and bust out a 5-minute dance routine. We talked Nietzsche and Dance Dance Revolution. The only album I can vividly recall spinning on the turntable was The Flying Lizards. But one peep of this mix and you know Noah’s got deep crates and mad skills.

Here is Mix tape 01 for your listening pleasure. It’s low fi, raw and might make you want to shout boomshakalak. Big thanks to Stone for finding this gem of a mix tape. He’ll be posting track info up here very soon…won’t you Stone?!

This should be played with a internal organ rupturing Notting Hill Sub woofer…

STONES SAYS:

Moon Daddy. Moonlight Sound. Moon Daddy Sound System. Whatever moniker you’ve stumbled across, you no doubt have encountered the work of a dedicated reggae and dub archivist from the small town of Tochigi in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.

This sampling is the first side of a 60-minute tape released by Moon Daddy three years ago at an underground dub party in Utsunomiya city. It’s been copied from tape to minidisc to hard drive. However many times copied and recopied, the original is not that far off the version available here. Enjoy it in all its gritty, blown out mixtape beauty.
