We really feel like that (as far as beats and production go) we’re entering a second golden age of hip hop, and that’s kind of what the majority of this mix is all about.

You can hear more like this live on August 27th at Rio Rita. Its always free, and always fun. We’ll see you on the patio.
Our Valentine’s Day party for our most recent mix, The Mouth is For to Fuck, was met with wind and freezing temperatures, but we still managed to warm hearts with our eclectic array of love songs and lots of hugs. Here are some pictures from the night — thanks to all who came out, and especially to Amelia, whose tidy cloths and dirty Valentine booth were a huge hit.
The pictures from our yearly bad sweater party are now online! Thanks a lot to Alison Narro for taking photos, as always. Here’s some of our favorites, and the rest can be seen here or by clicking on any of the pictures below.
Congratulations to Leana and Lee who took 1st and 2nd place at our little soup competition this past weekend. And thank you so much to everyone that came out, and to everyone that made soup. So many delicious soups were there, I wish we could have given everyone a trophy.
There was a tie for 2nd, and as we all know, the only way to solve any tie breaker is with JARTS! They’re illegal!
Zorch and friends also played a couple improv soup sets through the night. Thanks, guys, it sounded great. A handful of more pictures can be seen over at our flickr.
Thank you to everyone that came out to Rio Rita last night to celebrate the release of our first mix CD, Season of The Witch. We hope that everyone that got a copy enjoys it, and if you feel a spirit possessing you while listening – it’s best to just accept it.
We set up an altar to incant all that we could, and offered our sounds up to the gods. Pictures below.
Our first mix CD in a series of themed mixes we are doing is now available here. It was a serious labour of love and effort and we are so excited to have the final product in our hot little hands. Thank you so much to Ben Webster, Affordable Sound, Dave and Snowman, Scott Cannon, and everyone else that helped make it possible.
More info is here. And for those of you who are local, the info for the release party is here.
Zorch is a recently transplanted two-piece band that has quickly shot up to the top of Recspec’s favourites – their sound is a mix of freak out rock, psychdeleic electronic arpeggios, tribal music to be circumsized by, and the fruits of two very talented musicians. We work with them for their design and video projections and are very glad that they are in Austin now. You can download their album at their website (designed by Recspec!), or listen now over at their myspace.
Recently they had a house party with some other Recspec favorites: Woodgrain, Butcher Bear, and FM Campers. Here are some pictures that we took on the night. Thanks for having us, Zorch!
Had the pleasure of seeing The Gaslamp Killer DJ again while he was in town this past Thursday, and he was phenomenal and had the entire place packed with very very happy people. Here’s a couple pictures we snapped from the night, and if he comes to your town – make sure its a show that you do not miss. More photos here.
Photos from the record release party at Mohawk for Insect Records are now up! We had a blast and it looks like you did too! Thanks to everyone that came out and let us assault you with our camera.
The photobooth and other assorted pictures can be viewed here.
This Friday at the Mohawk, RECSPEC and INSECT RECORDS are teaming up for a big release party for two new releases on the label. We are doing all of the design and set decorations for the show which will be both inside and outside, and we will also be running a photobooth – so look out for tons of great party pictures after the night at our flickr page!
Also, check out this awesome write-up from The Onion about the night. See you there!
