| OK what we have here for you is a KILLER 1994-1995 100% unreleased |
| project outta New Jersey including a bunch of low key artists as |
| well as a major joint from Massive Staff who you will remember from |
| the Nasty Newark Air '94 EP. |
| |
| |
| |
| Amazing material - you'll def wanna check out the snippets. |
| |
| |
| |
| Here's a little intro to MIxture [by Mixture]: "From his birth and |
| the inception of his parents' company in the late 70's (Music |
| Incorporated) Kasem A.K.A. Mixture was born with music in his |
| D.N.A. The eclectic taste in his parent's music collection and the |
| fact that his father deejayed during the weekends at the infamous |
| Joe's Golden Door in Newark, N.J. as "Mr.C" provided the perfect |
| landscape for Mixture to navigate through and expand. During the |
| mid 80's Kasem was given DJ equipment and a non-midi drum machine |
| plus sample keyboard and all access to the music collection of his |
| family. Hip-Hop was entering into its "Golden Age" era and Kasem |
| was DJing around the Newark (Brick City) and Irvington area at |
| various clubs, school events and street events. Kasem was also |
| laying his production foundation down working with various rappers |
| and singers utilizing a four track cassette machine he obtained. He |
| formed a group with Mello-Moe, a local rapper, and started working |
| more extensively doing demos and performing at the infamous Club |
| Sensations in downtown Newark. Performing as Mello-Moe and Kasem on |
| Friday's amature nights gave the winner the opportunity to perform |
| as the Saturdays' opening act for the major performer of the |
| weekend such as Eric B and Rakim, Public Enemy, Boogie Down |
| Productions, Big Daddy Kane, EPMD among many others. They reigned |
| undefeated, enjoying the Saturday slot for many weekends.They got |
| the attention of an aspiring manager who started putting them in |
| studios in Manhattan, networking and in turn introduced them to |
| M.C, Peaches. M.C. Peaches was a female rapper from the Vailsberg |
| section of Newark who was signed to First Priority Music (M.C. |
| Lyte, Audio Two etc). They all started collaborating on demos and |
| gained the attention of Nat Robinson the CEO of FPM. Not long |
| after, Mello-Moe and Kasem were signed to FPM, working on songs in |
| Brooklyn and Staten Island. After a few years of being with FPM, |
| Kasem became dissatisfied with the progress and decided to leave |
| the situation. Not content to be stagnant, he went to a |
| certification school for audio engineering in NYC. After graduating |
| top of the class he started interning and engineering at various |
| studios in NJ. Soon after, Mello-Moe and Kasem reconnected and |
| started recording at Fly Guy Productions (later renamed The |
| Safehouse) in East Orange (Illtown) and at In Session Studio in |
| downtown Newark (beneath Club Sensations). This culminated with the |
| release of an EP released in 1993 as the Party Poopers on My |
| Disc/Emotive records that Kasem produced and |
| engineered.Additionally. Kasem gained the opportunity to engineer |
| at the famous House of Music in West Orange in 1993. HoM was known |
| to be the recording home of Slave, Dr Buzzard's Original Savannah |
| Band, and Kool and The Gang among others in the 1970's and was the |
| initial recording and production home of The Fugees through its Le' |
| Jam Productions during the early 1990's. Kasem became the primary |
| Hip-Hop engineer there working with all the who's who in the Essex |
| County, NJ and surrounding areas (including NYC) scene up until |
| closing of the studio in 1995. After HoM's closing, Kasem purchased |
| his own studio recording and production equipment and started |
| producing and recording clients in a studio apartment in the |
| Irvington Center area. He also transformed himself as a self |
| produced solo artist rebranding himself Mixture These recordings |
| represent the 1994-1995 era of Kasem/Mixture's productions". |
| |
| Kasem The Party Pooper - It's Like That - Recorded at The House of |
| Music 1994 an early solo song from Kasem using his Party Pooper |
| mentality. |
| |
| Under Siege - Run For Your Life - Recorded at House of Music |
| 1994/1995 Illtown's duo was family related to Sah-B (Signed to |
| Marley Marl's label on Pendulum), which was how Kasem was |
| introduced to them. Kasem had previously done demo production for |
| Sah-B in 1993 at the Safehouse. |
| |
| Missing Link - Be Real - Recorded at House of Music 1994 Brick |
| City's (Central Ward) Missing Link was introduced to Kasem by a |
| family member. This represents a set of songs for his demo for |
| shopping. |
| |
| Massive Staff - Chip In My Head - Recorded at Noise System 1995 |
| Mixture's collaboration with the Safehouse artists was 1 of 2 songs |
| slated to be the follow-up of Illtown/Brick City's Massive Staff's |
| Nasty Newark Air EP. |
| |
| Mixture - Permanent Fixture - Recorded at Noise System 1995 using |
| producer's banter Kasem's transformation into Mixture was cemented. |
| Recorded to lay a stake in "The Best Producer on the Mic" title. As |
| a quadrant of skills presented Mixture is on the DJing in the |
| hooks. |
| |
| The M.A.S. - Clear The Room - Recorded at House of Music 1995 |
| Paterson NJ's Dirty Work and Passaic NJ's I.S. comprised The M.A.S. |
| Kasem's Noise System production company had a demo deal with Motown |
| Records (along with Kasem's other artist New Brunswick's Skribe). |
| This song represents one of the catalysts obtaining that deal.. |
| |
| Taboo - Do My Thang - Recorded at House of Music 1994 Illtown's |
| Taboo was a client of Kasem. They clicked creatively and decided to |
| do a song together, this is the result of that. "Do My Thang" also |
| showcased the deejaying skills of Kasem in the hooks. |
