If Jay Electronica showed us how to waste a gift, Mach Hommy has shown us how to fully exploit it. Mach has been dropping some of the ridiculous lines in hiphop for the past year or so. No filler, just fucking killing it in every verse.
Here’s a few tracks from Mach that I thought everyone should hear, put it in perspective.
Mach Hommy – Brand-Name
Mach Hommy – Niggarati Manor
Mach Hommy – Tiddly-Winks
Mach Hommy – Baas Key Yacht
I’d just like to say a big thank you to Bokeh Edwards for playing my track Lvcchesi “Burro” on his latest mix for Crack Magazine. This was a huge surprise to me and I am quite delighted. I’ve followed Bokeh Versions for some time now and really enjoy what they’re doing.
So, if anyone is interested, you can hear it on Crack Mix 205 at around the 10 minute mark. Although I suggest you do listen to the whole thing.
Also, if you are interested in hearing some more tracks, please visit Lvcchesi.com as I no longer have any social media accounts other than this blog. Fuck ’em.
I fixed a lot of the things I didn’t like about that previous tune. Here it is in a more complete form
Lvcchesi “Come Correct”
I’m not sure what to say about this one, it makes you dizzy if you listen to it too much.
It’s all been quiet here for too long. Moving house and rebuilding a studio takes a lot longer than I has originally assumed. The good news is that it’s all in working order now (minus the stuff that isn’t). Thing are much nicer and more spacious now, and I’ve changed my monitoring setup. It’ll take my ears a while to adjust, but it’s slowly becoming more neutral sounding.

Here’s a copy of the first thing I’ve made since the move.
So, it turns out that seminal Vaporwave release Floral Shoppe has a pressing run on vinyl. However, it appears that the record label “Olde English Spelling Bee” or “OESBEE” are really trying to rip off their customers.
There have been very few deliveries of the record (less than 200), and now the latest announcement is that outstanding order will not be shipped until the end of January. Strange that, because that’s exactly when credit card and PayPal protection runs out on the purchase. You may think this is a coincidence, but user OESBEE4 on reddit seems to be getting a little flustered about all of this.
Below follow some of the worst examples of customer interaction I could find. Needless to say, I don’t think you’ll be receiving you Floral Shoppe Vinyl.

Good luck with the scam, Todd Ledford, I hope someone sues soon.

Some of it works, some of it does not. I still think it was worth persevering with, even if the outcome is less than I’d hoped for. I still like the contrast of the cinematic opening and the cheesy pop tune.
No idea is original, we stand on the shoulder of giants and we steal and plunder from those before us.
This was going to be longer, but I’m out of time – I gotta rush.
I found the samples from the original Tessio, you know the one with the huge intro? Rather than just point you to where they came from I thought I would piss everyone off my loading them up in the MPC and making a house mashup like it’s still 1999. Then I discovered that I really liked it, so I’m going to do something else with it. It’s like a fever dream of the original.
It’s rough as a badger’s arse at the moment, but I thought it would be cool to hear what I was working with. I’ll have a much more polished version soon, but not till after Xmas.
Have a listen to the demo/proof of concept.
I am pleased to say that the Lucchesi Burro EP is now available for preorder at various online record stores. I hasten to add that it will also be available at multiple brick and mortar stores – if you’re fortunate enough to still have one near you.
The official blurb: “The second release for Glasgow label Full Dose features two dancehall laced productions from Ayrshire via Kingston by Lucchesi. The Lucchesi Burro EP is uncompromising in approach & heavyweight in sound, reminiscent of The Bug on Rephlex, circa 2003. Vinyl only. Single sided 12” with insert.”
From the horse’s mouth: “Chopped the vocal from an old Dancehall LP I bought this week, sounds a lot like Burro Banton to me but I’m not 100% on that. Burro Banton is the fucking man, so I’ve got no issue crediting him with it regardless of his involvement.
Everything was sequenced on an old, tired MPC4000. Drums are Vermona DRM MK1 through a Voodoo Octave guitar pedal. Percussion is a Roland M-DC 1 processed through a JomoX T-Resonator II and couple of other guitar pedals. Synth pad is the Waldorf MicroWave XT with a Boss RV-1000 on top. Outro synth was Novation Super BassStation and a T.C. Electronics Fireworx. Master channel; Art Pro VLA II compressor and an old Akai PEQ. All recorded to tape for the dancehall feel (and hiss, mainly).”
