We all love vinyl, don’t we? This time I’m going to promote some shit where I’m from (the author of this fanblog)… Europe! To be more exact, this uprising producer -whose name is MPadrums- is from the Spanish island Tenerife (Santa Cruz). He linked up with the UK label Blunted Astronaut Records for his first beat tape releasing on 7″. We from DJ Premier Blog give away 3 copies of this 7″, how? Simple, but before you enter, some more information about this record:

This E.P. is part of the ‘Blunted Beats’ international series – a set of short recordings being released with the aim of helping to shine light on some of the most talented, up-and-coming Hip Hop producers from across Europe. In this volume, we present to you MPadrums from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain. Other countries covered in this series include Sweden, Poland, and The Netherlands. 300 copies pressed. Worldwide shipping!

We are giving away 3 copies, you want to win? To win one of these copies you just have to send a mail to bluntedbeats@hush.com with your name and address. Deadline: 26th of December 2012. The winners will also be announced next week and who knows you’ll get a late Christmas present!

Big thanks to MPadrums (You will get there bro!) and Blunted Astronaut Records! Of course you can also buy the 7″ and many more music at their shop. And for more info about MPadrums you can check out his SoundCloud. Support!!

Jeru The Damaja Instrumental LP Auction Ends at $1,226.00

Last week you could bid on 2 unique vinyl items on the famous auction site Ebay. Both “Sun Rises in The East” and “Step in the Arena” are instrumental lp’s pressed by DJ Premier himself to spin at concerts when the albums came out mid 90s. Both albums have DJ Premier produced instrumentals that are never released before. Those two facts plus the unique value of those records made the price go sky rocking in just hours, it’s every vinyl record collectors wet dream to have this hanging in your room. Gang Starr’s “Step In The Arena” was eventually sold for $511.00, while Jeru The Damaja’s “Sun Rises In The East” was sold for $1,226.00 (!). The buyer(s) remains anonymous, but there is a great chance the two lp’s are now heading for Asia. And the seller was not DJ Premier himself to be clear :D.
