Trushmix 17: Don Papa

Don Papa, the hip hop godfather of Moss, Norway, gives us this week's Trushmix. A very special blend of old school hip hop, dub, reggae and some obscure tracks by the Don himself. A mix made with love, passion and crazy mixing in the true spirit of Don Papa's eccentric self proclaimed hip hop style.

Don Papa has been a leading figure in the underground hip hop community of Moss for two decades, starting his career as a breakdancer and graffiti writer in the mid 80's, and soon moving into music production.

Don Papa is constantly pushing the boundaries of hip hop – his approach to the genre is often experimental, his tracks not always hip hop in the traditional sense. One moment ambient soundscapes, the next deep house flavors, but to Don Papa, it's all hip hop.

Don Papa has also moved into the world of dub and reggae, and has released several 7" together with the Moss based reggae dub group Kambo Super Sound.

Check out Don Papas releases on Sex Tags Mania and Amfibia. And enjoy Trushmix 17 – hip hop in the vision of Don Papa!

Trushmix 16: Zinghabon

Zinghabon came to Norway in a green shipping container in the early 80s. Now settled in a cave under Vanntårnet in Moss Norway, he works as a gardener in the daytime and spends the nights talking to his dog Larry and meditating. Zinghabon rarely lets anyone record his sets, as he fears this will steal his soul, but we have managed to convince him to give us a mix.

Trushmix 16 showcases his taste for spaced-out leftfield music; a mix of obscurities and classics, ranging from krautrock to disco. This will take you on a strange musical journey from Moss to Mars. Sit back and enjoy the ride!

Trushmix 14: Darkmæn

A new Trushmix, by the mysterious Darkmæn, who prefers to stay in the shadows while letting the music speak for itself. Here he digs deep in his crate and creates a raw mix of mid-school house and techno tracks from the 90's and 00's, ending on a high note with the latest release on Sex Tags Mania – an epic 15-minute freestyling studio session from the top!

Trushmix 13: L.A. Morillo

L.A. Morillo is back with another Trush-session strictly for the heads – and their feet! Kicking off with a track by legendary Norwegian producer Erot before moving on through disco, house and techno, this is one and a half hour of quality tracks new and old. The mix also contains unreleased promo tracks from Wania and Sex Tags UFO that will be released spring 2012. This is it, Trush your body!

Trushmix 12: SVN

From SVN's Berlin studio Neues Deutschland comes this beast of a mix – 75 minutes of experimental soundscapes for your listening pleasure. A mostly beatless ambient mix, this is perhaps less dancefloor-friendly than Trushmix's previous offerings, but it's all the more interesting as a listening experience and creates the very special atmospheric mood you'll find in the dark corridors of Neues Deutschland.

In the recent years SVN has had his hand on an impressive amount of interesting quality projects and released records on the same amount of interesting quality labels. SVN is probably mostly known for his collaborations with Dynamo Dresen under their Dresvn moniker with their true analogue atmospheric techno, released on Acido Records, Sex Tags Mania and Wania. Also the AU project together with good friend Daniel Pflumm on General Elektro is something to get your hands on. The music is great, and the hand drawn sleeves are worth your money alone!

TASE, his leftfield electro-pop project together with Japanese Takashi is another mind-blowing listening experience you shouldn't miss out on – and not to forget SVN's own imprint SUED with moody house and techno by SVN and SW, music from the top!

We could go on forever about all of SVN projects, but the conclusion is, he's definitely a guy you should keep your eyes and ears on! True underground spirit as we like it!
