mad decent worldwide radio #30 - Emynd ‘BOUNCE IT’

Crossfaded Bacon and Mad Decent Records present
Mad Decent Worldwide Radio #30: BOUNCE IT
Mixed by Emynd

I started listening to Bounce music about two years ago and, over
the past couple years, have acquired a pretty extensive collection
of CDs, MP3s, and records of this really rich music.  For
those unfamiliar with Bounce, it is a fairly unique strain of
club-oriented hip-hop that originated in New Orleans sometime
around 1991 with MC TT Tucker's "Where Dey At." Almost 20 years
later, Bounce still dominates the urban club and block party scene
in New Orleans with very little major label backing.  Just as
Baltimore Club is based on the Lyn Collins' "Think" break and the
Gaz "Sing Sing" break, Bounce beats are based on samples from The
Showboy's "Drag Rap" (aka "Triggerman") and Derek B's "Rock The
Beat" drum break (more commonly known as "the Brown Beat"). The
best club music seems almost always to thrive on calculated
simplicity, and Bounce is no exception, relying on MC work that is
based on simple call and response chants, straightforward rhyme
schemes/patterns, and repetitive dance refrains.  My buddy
Noz-- http://www.cocaineblunts.com -- has helped me learn a lot
about this music and several years ago (right after Katrina), he
put together a really great collection of earlier Bounce songs that
you can download
(http://www.cocaineblunts.com/blunts/?p=690).  Also, the first
podcast on New Orleans rap has got some good stuff on it as
well.

In contrast to Noz's collection of songs, I made my mix as an
effort to put people onto some more recent New Orleans Bounce songs
and artists that they likely aren't very familiar with.  As
you'll notice pretty quickly, I've kept the mixing and DJing to a
real minimum and tried to move pretty quickly from song to song to
fit in as much stuff is possible.  There isn't a real rhyme or
reason for most of the selections on here.  They're mostly
just a bunch of Bounce songs I really like, and I'm hoping some of
y'all will enjoy this stuff enough to go and support some of these
artists.  I've provided links wherever possible to help make
that search as easy as I could because a lot of these folks have a
pretty strong presence on Myspace.  Please hit these dudes up
on their Myspace, support their events, and buy whatever you can
from them.
