What’s up everybody? My name is eccentric1. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE to turn everybody I encounter on to new, hot, mostly eccentric music!!!! There are so many artists for me to discuss here that are not mentioned anywhere else. I welcome everyone’s thoughts and opinions. They all are appreciated. Please let me know what you think. With that said, frequently there will be another super hot artist who will be the topic of discussion.

This blog was created to inform those, including me, of new and innovative music. So please feel free to add, correct or update any info you feel is incorrect. It was also created to be an outlet for creators of quality music who don’t get the proper exposure or airplay.

I just interviewed Atlanta Underground Hip- Hop artists Collective Efforts. These cats were very humble with sharp insights on today’s commercial MCs. They are a very versatile group that really can’t be placed in a box or specific genre. They have played hip-hop and electronica crowds alike. In fact, they are on Sound Tribe Sector Nine’s label. They have also worked with the legendary producer Diamond D on their new single “I Get Down”. We had alot of fun on this interview…..Check it Out!

I gotta give a shout out to Senor Kaos for setting me up with this interview with Collective Efforts….thanks homie!!!

I was flowing through some other blogs talking about Dilla and ran across this producer named Tokyo Cigar
on http://kevinnottingham.com. He had this J Dilla Tribute joint I thought was cool. For those who don’t
know him here’s a brief bio as described by him:

“I’m in Maryland right now. I lived in Ireland, Virginia and some other spots. I am a member of a group
called THE PLEXIGLASS FOUNTAIN with my boy Cyclops ( we got the number 1 free album of 2009 on Kevin
Nottingham too for our album “Left of the Scenery” which I completely produced). I produce and rhyme as
well. I used to rock out in Tru skool in DC and I rhymed on 88.1 WMUC at university of Maryland. I got a
producer spotlight on Kevin Nottingham ( I was also on the top producers of 2009 list on KN ) and the
WYDU blog.”

I was on the homey’s (Senor Kaos) site and saw that one of my favorite groups,  Foreign Exchange (Phonte and Nicolay) got nominated for a Grammy!!!!!!  I was blown away and had to immediately post this video. This serves as inspiration, that it is possible for good music to get recognized!

Check out the enormous (large with life) interview with Atlanta’s own Senor Kaos and 4ize! What a fun interview…..that 4ize is ignant (a very hilarious young brother).  He also shed light on what he felt life is about. Senor Kaos was insightful on his upcoming projects and gives opinions on Mcs of today and yesteryear. You can check them both out at 4ize.com and thekaoseffect.com

AFTA-1 is a stellar producer from the West Side (LA California), who is setting himself apart from the norm, by conjuring these atmospheric, hip-hop soundscapes….Eccentric1 is big on soundscapes

I think I just heard the dopest track all year!!!! No exaggeration y’all!!!!!! It was so dope that I couldn’t even listen to it all the way the through the second time! I was in my crib sweating and holding my head (remember it is December). This kid just keeps taking me higher and higher. I know I have hyped it, but check it for yourself. You be the judge!!!!

Röyksopp does it again on the CD entitled Junior! I first discovered this track on a flight on the way to
Anchorage, Alaska about a month or 2 ago. I kept it on repeat for hours and hours. It has such a hypnotic
appeal. Anneli Drecker, the vocalist from the group Bel Canto,leads this Röyksopp tune. Her voice is so
amazing! It glides on this track perfectly!!!!!

What can I say this kid is dope! I was perusing my homie Bruce Cole’s myspace page and happened upon “A Message From Inside”.  So, I was compelled to check his page out and “Bubble_Sort”  was just as hot. I’m really feeling this Electronica / Hip-Hop / Fusion! Please support this cat, he was mad cool!!!! I asked if could post his joint on my site and he sent this over without hesitation!!!! I will say no more check, this jawn out:

Beady Belle, reigning from Oslo, Norway,is Beate S. Lech and Marius Reksj. They met at the University of
Oslo as music students. The joint I am posting called “Ghosts” was on the album called Home. It was entitled
Home because it was created in their home. This was realeased all over Europe, Japan, Korea and Canada in
2001. This gem was not even released in the states. This is just another example of great overlooked music.
Ghosts provides a soundscaped feel that puts me in a sweet spot, where I am relaxed, but grooved out. It has been 8 years and stills rings true, but I would like for you to be the judge of that!!!!

Oh my god, I almost forgot about this gem! My man Lew was on Pandora and this one showed up. For those that don’t know the Roots, they are the house band for the Jimmy Fallon Show. The Roots are one of my favorite hip hop groups of all time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They once were one of THE leaders of the underground hip-hop movement. The track below definitely displays that fact! The Roots are one of Philly’s finest musical
Talents! I’ve been following them since about ‘94. They had to pretty much abandon their underground
presence and true experimental/organic origins because that sh#* don’t pay. Such a shame that is!!!!!!!! For
a while they were on a heavy touring circuit in Europe and Asia, because real music is very much accepted
and appreciated in those places. Anyhow, prepare your ears for the dopeness of the ROOTS!!!!!

Quicksand Millennium is track 5, however check the other joints out on this compilation as well. Give me your feedback.
