WAX POETICS ISSUE 66 DJ Shadow / David Axelrod TITLE: Wax Poetics 66: DJ Shadow / David Axelrod CATALOG: mag-WP66 LABEL: Wax Poetics GENRE: Magazine BARCODE: 07447056595666 FORMAT: MAG RELEASE: 5/19/2017 LIST PRICE: $11.99 / WX DESCRIPTION The late 1980s and early ’90s saw the dawn of a new day as sampling was at a high point with hip-hop’s golden era. Following in the footsteps of Double Dee & Steinski, Prince Paul, and the Dust Brothers, DJ Shadow would push the boundaries of sampling with his early Mo’ Wax releases. His first full-length album, Endtroducing..., further shined a light on the art form, as the album exploded through popular culture and put the reluctant star in the spotlight. Producer/composer David Axelrod landed a dream job at Capitol Records in 1964, immediately working with jazz legend Cannonball Adderley and lifting soul singer Lou Rawls to great heights. Gifted songwriter, bassist, and producer Leon Sylvers III led his siblings’ group the Sylvers from their teenaged harmony-tinged sweet-soul beginnings to mainstream disco heights; DJ Krush embarked on a journey with British label Mo’ Wax that found the turntablist/producer using hip-hop’s breakbeat foundation while pioneering a new genre of abstract instrumentals; Sly and the Family Stone trumpeter Cynthia Robinson became lovers with Sly, giving birth to their daughter, Sylvyette “Phunne” Stone, who helped carry the torch with the Family Stone into the next century; Australian plunderers The Avalanches release their first record in sixteen years; adventures of a reggae messenger with Danny Holloway.

Los Angeles: Madlib Invazion. (MMS-027), 2015. Daan van den Brink (s4369106) Email: [email protected] Rap Record for Sale – Sampling practice and commodification in Madlib Invazion. MA Thesis Creative Industries. Date of submission: 6 Aug. 2018 Supervisor: dr. Vincent Meelberg Email: [email protected] Abstract. Within our capitalistic society, much if not all the music we consume is to be regarded as commodities. Musical products are subject to numerous processes, rules and regulations, one of which being copyright. Essentially, copyright enables the musical product as commodity, and as David Hesmondhalgh puts it, has become the main means of commodifying culture. A musical practice that is particularly at odds with copyright is sampling, which makes use of previously recorded material through recombination and re-contextualisation. For the use of samples, a proper copyright license must be in place, whether the sample-based song is being monetized on or released for free. However, hip hop producers often do not comply in licensing the use of copyrighted material in their music, which challenges not only the copyright regime, but also copyright as a means of commodification. Over the years, copyright has become an extensive set of rights, resulting in the criminalization of unlicensed use of samples, but not in prevention, as technological advancements have made sampling a more widespread and accessible practice. Within this thesis, the sample-based work of Madlib as released on his Madlib Invazion label is used as a case study to map the current copyright regime, the costs of licensing and the risks of unlicensed sampling.

2012 Ecotrust Annual Report “Civilization Needs a New Operating System
reSilieNCe + trANSForMAtioN 2012 Ecotrust Annual Report “Civilization needs a new operating system. YOU ARE THE PROGRAMMERS and we need it within a few decades.” PAUL HAWKEN, University of Portland Commencement Address, 2009 Resilience and Transformation: our theory oF ChANge Food, water, energy, shelter—these are the basic things we need to live well. the systems that provide them are as specific to the places where we live as they are vulnerable to global patterns and pressures. in an age of superstorms, financial meltdowns, and giant pipelines cutting through some of the last, best places on earth, it is clear we need a new approach— a new operating system for the 21st century. At ecotrust, we believe that approach is found in resilience—the capacity to influence and adapt to change. in everything we do, we work to create systemic responses to systemic challenges—a culture of resilience. A culture that adapts to the ever-changing world around us, inspiring innovation, seeking diversity, and sharing ideas and resources equitably. Building this culture begins at home—in the forests and coasts, cities and communities, mountains and rivers of Salmon Nation. it is a culture that operates at multiple scales from the individual to the community to the regional to the global. ecotrust’s programs strive to foster resilience from the ground up in the systems most significant to our wellbeing—food and farms, fisheries, forests, and urban ecosystems. And our approach is designed around what we see as three powerful pathways for change: knowledge, technology, and capital.

“Cannonball” Adderley
Journal of Jazz Studies vol. 9, no. 1, pp. 101-106 (Summer 2013) Portrait of Cannonball: Cary Ginell's Walk Tall Dustin Mallory Walk Tall: The Music and Life of Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. By Cary Ginell. Milwaukee: Hal Leonard Books, 2013. 190 pp. $18.99. Very few jazz musicians can say that their band had a Top 20 single and a Top 20 album. Within that elite group of artists, only two men can state in the same breath that they also performed on jazz’s best-selling album of all time, Kind of Blue. One is Miles Davis and the other is Julian “Cannonball” Adderley. Cannonball’s success in album sales is just one measure of his achievements, albeit a tangible one. However, a casual stroll through the practice rooms of any jazz school in the country or jazz club in a city will aurally reveal the sheer volume of musicians that practice, perform, and revere the vocabulary that poured from Cannonball’s saxophone. Yet, despite the respect that Cannonball has been accorded over the years, both measureable and immeasurable, there is relatively little in the way of published biographical information. With the exception of the occasional feature in a periodical, an entry in The Encyclopedia of Jazz, a handful of scholarly works, and a few publications geared toward theory or discography,1 Mr. Adderley’s biography has gone largely unwritten. Furthermore, it can be said definitively that there is nothing in the marketplace that even closely resembles a comprehensive biography. Cary Ginell’s Walk Tall is one of the first publications that sets theory, analysis, and discography on the back burner in favor of history/biography.

The Funky Diaspora
The Funky Diaspora: The Diffusion of Soul and Funk Music across The Caribbean and Latin America Thomas Fawcett XXVII Annual ILLASA Student Conference Feb. 1-3, 2007 Introduction In 1972, a British band made up of nine West Indian immigrants recorded a funk song infused with Caribbean percussion called “The Message.” The band was Cymande, whose members were born in Jamaica, Guyana, and St. Vincent before moving to England between 1958 and 1970.1 In 1973, a year after Cymande recorded “The Message,” the song was reworked by a Panamanian funk band called Los Fabulosos Festivales. The Festivales titled their fuzzed-out, guitar-heavy version “El Mensaje.” A year later the song was covered again, this time slowed down to a crawl and set to a reggae beat and performed by Jamaican singer Tinga Stewart. This example places soul and funk music in a global context and shows that songs were remade, reworked and reinvented across the African diaspora. It also raises issues of migration, language and the power of music to connect distinct communities of the African diaspora. Soul and funk music of the 1960s and 1970s is widely seen as belonging strictly in a U.S. context. This paper will argue that soul and funk music was actually a transnational and multilingual phenomenon that disseminated across Latin America, the Caribbean and beyond. Soul and funk was copied and reinvented in a wide array of Latin American and Caribbean countries including Brazil, Panama, Jamaica, Belize, Peru and the Bahamas. This paper will focus on the music of the U.S., Brazil, Panama and Jamaica while highlighting the political consciousness of soul and funk music.

Barack Obama the Pursuit of Identity EPISODE TRANSCRIPT
Barack Obama The pursuit of identity EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Listen to Presidential at http://wapo.st/presidential This transcript was run through an automated transcription service and then lightly edited for clarity. There may be typos or small discrepancies from the podcast audio. BARRACK OBAMA CLIP: I stand here knowing that my story is part of the larger American story -- that I owe a debt to all of those who came before me and that in no other country on Earth is my story even possible. LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: This is Barack Obama in 2004 before he had held any national political office. Four years later, he would be elected the first black president of the United States. BARRACK OBAMA: Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over 200 years ago: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident. That all men are created equal. That they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights. That among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’ That is the true genius of America. LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: I'm Lillian Cunningham with The Washington Post, and this is the 43rd episode of “Presidential.” PRESIDENTIAL THEME MUSIC LILLIAN CUNNINGHAM: This isn't our very final episode of the series, but it is our last episode chronicling the people who've served already as president of the United States. So, I think it's fitting that, in this episode, we come full circle to a question that we've really been asking since the very beginning, which is, 'Who are we?' Well, that question -- 'Who am I?' -- is essentially at the very core of Obama's own personal story.
