              Golden Age Against The Machine is a
              total passion play. A living audio love
              letter to The Golden age of hip-hop.
              For Shawn this spans the early 80s to
              mid 90s. Like many other musicians,
              sample based production effected him
              deeply. It permeated the how and what
              of his musical performances. The sonic
              qualities of his productions, the
              arrangements and his drumming, in fact
              his whole approach.
              Hip-hop at it's best was fresh raw and
              unconventional. There is something
              magical about grabbing a loop from an
              old funk record and layering it with
              some strings from an easy listening
              record and pitching down a horn stab
              from a jazz record and a guitar lick
              from a psych rock Record and then
              pinning it down with a fat beat!!!
              Shawn loves the pick and mix aesthetic
              of hip-hop music. His personal
              connection goes back to the early 80s,
              playing live accompaniment on drums
              vamping on Chic's Good Times while
              budding rappers would pass the mic
              doing their bedroom rhymes. A year or 2
              later, playing Rufus' Ain't Nobody
              while b-boys break danced to it. From
              there, he moved on to programming beats
              on Linn drums, Dmx's, SP 12 & 1200's
              and MPC drum machines. Not to mention,
              he is the same "Shawn Lee" that made
              all those drum break records back in
              the 90's. So he's not new to this,
              simply true to this!!!
              In terms of inspiration, Prince Paul
              and De La & and his old friends The
              Dust Brothers producing the Beastie's
              Paul's Boutique, laid down the
              gauntlet/blue print for sample based
              productions. 3 Feet High still stands
              tall for him after all this time. For
              Golden Age he employed a similar mind
              set for much of the album except for
              not using samples. He played everything
              from scratch, this includes every one
              note stab, lick and drum beat. Every
              little nugget a production in it's own
              right. It certainly kept him busy and
              was a rewarding process. "There ain't
              no school like the Old School Y'all "
              This is Golden Age Against The Machine.
              Sure shot!!!!
