SAGE – Electric Egypt
12 Aug
Sydney artist Electric Egypt brought out his debut album Impressions of the Inexplicable Invisible last year its a beautiful effortless piece of music…. it traverses beatmaking, hip hop, future beat, ambient music, field recordings, ethnic folk recordings, Indonesian gamelan music, synth music, spiritual jazz and so on. We met in a second hand book store that sells records and got talking bout …. well records…. he kindly gave me his album and im feeling it so im talking about it.
its music by the post hiphop generation if that makes any sense….. It conjures up images of the cosmic in the truest sense of the word …. small and immense at the same time. Listen to the entire thing, its not the kind of album where there is one dance track and one love song….. its on some other shit. Its probably not going to make a million dollars but you get the feelin hes not doin it for those reasons…. this is on some pure sounds vibe.
Featured on Dublab and released on Moamoo records out of Japan its a little hard to get a hold of but I believe its available on Itunes.
Please to show your support and cop.
Peace sage

The 52 Blocks
11 Jul
Article from the NEW YORK TIMES
IT has developed just below the surface of popular culture in the United States, in the streets, prisons and boxing rings. It’s gone by a few names: Stato, Jailhouse Rock, the 52 Hand Blocks, 52 Blocks and, for short, the 52.
For a long time it has been a kind of martial arts Loch Ness monster: an American fighting form with supposedly sinister origins that many have heard of but few have seen or experienced. No one, it seemed, had any concrete proof that it existed, or at least none they were willing to share.
Until recently.
Several instructors have begun teaching this quasi martial art. Videos are up on YouTube. And the name 52 Blocks seems to be gaining respect as the most accepted. To watch it demonstrated is to see quick strikes suited to a fight exploding in surroundings like a jail cell, staircase or hallway.
Lyte Burly, 34, teaches and trains in Tompkins Square Park in the East Village. He was one of the first to put videos on YouTube. “There was a lot of chatter, a lot of audio but no video,” he said of the discussion forums and Web sites that would offer hints of 52 Blocks, but little information about where to go to find out more.
Mr. Burly has a background in boxing and Chinese martial arts. Now, 52 Blocks has become his main focus.
