Two Hand Band
An MPC, or Music Production Center, was THE tool for hip hop artists in the studio in the 1980s. It fell out of fashion for a while, but now, it's back. The MPC has moved from the studio to the stage and all kinds of performers, from rockers to rappers to classicly trained musicians, are utilizing its beat making abilities. One MC will take us through the MPC transformation, as we see, hear and talk to different kind of musicians, and even non-musicians, who are making this technology the oldest newest trend in music making.

Muslim women rappers face threats and intimidation
Muslim rap is developing a large following in the US and UK, yet female artists trying to break into the scene are often intimidated, or even threatened, reports the New Statesman today.
Women rappers like Neelo fer Mir, Lady Dizzla, Lyrical Lailah and Deeyah have all had success in the increasingly popular Islamic hip-hop scene, but its been tempered by criticism of their 'un-Islamic' ways, discouragement from all and sundry that they should express themselves through music, alienation from the Muslim community, misunderstanding of women's reasons for getting involved in music (like accusations of using it simply to have access to sex and alcohol), criticism of their immodest clothes, death threats, and even violent attacks on stage.
Can artistic creativity in the modern world exist happily alongside the traditional responsibilities of devout Muslim life? Would male Muslim hip hop artists get the same hassle? How do you find some common ground between your modern life and your traditional, maybe even conservative, heritage?

The Art Pack ~ Pain O Chokolat /block party!/
La musique en fête.
Encore une fois, la place Gustave Toudouze dans le IX arr. parisien a accueilli la « Pain O choKolat Block Party », véritable kermesse de village à la new-yorkaise.
Depuis 5 ans, les membres du collectif « Pain O choKolat » transforment leur place fétiche en concert de rue qui mélange les genres. Du B-Boy en mal d’une nouvelle paire de Nike à l’étudiant en faculté, de la petite minette des beaux quartiers à l’épicier du coin… hommes, femmes et enfants se sont rassemblés pour écouter un panel d’artistes éclectiques et électriques sur le bitume de Pigalle.
Merguez, lampions, soda, bières et bon son. Le « Pain O choKolat » organise depuis un petit bout de temps des soirées en cachemire. Doux programme. Après avoir retourner le Paris-Paris, avec les amstellodamois du Parra Sound System, ils ont préparé cette année un line-up à faire kiffer les vrais festivaliers : Hugh Coltman et Spleen, blues et Afro-funk-beat. Mr. Wix et MC Lyrical Tie, ambianceurs agréés. Tez, peut-être le beat-boxeur français le plus impressionnant du moment. Monsieur Keziah Jones qu’on ne présente plus. Et bouquet final en forme de guerre sur scène, Keith Murray, rappeur new-yorkais du Def-Squad, qui a du brûler quelques tympans.
L’équipe de TheArtPack s’est fracturée l’objectif pour capter cette fête hors du commun parisien. Attention. Il parait qu’ils remettent ça l’année prochaine…
