New Documentary: The Electro Wars
Unofficial teaser trailer to the documentary film The Electro Wars featuring Steve Aoki, A-trak, LMFAO, Pitbull, Chromeo, DJ Eclipse, DJ Qbert, Spankrock and others. Great idea but the audio in some of the club scenes needs serious mixing. Coming in 2010

The Legendary Mr. Magic: R.I.P.
This has been a dark year for celebrity deaths but especially for hip hop DJs, first AM, then Grandmaster Roc Raida and now the legendary Mr. Magic.
If you don't know who Mr. Magic was, get familiar. Dude was the Kool Herc of commerical hip hop radio, the first hip hop DJ on commerical radio, a pioneer and a legend. He was like Dick Clark and Funkmaster Flex combined, the ultimate tastemaker that determined whether or not you'd become a hip hop superstar in NYC and by extension, beyond. By all accounts, he wasn't always the nicest or most diplomtic of people but his influence and legacy are pretty much unquestionable. Here's the announcement of his passing by DJ Premier from earlier this morning:
"I want to send out the utmost respect and condolences to the memory of John Rivas — aka Mr. Magic.
He passed away this morning of a heart attack.
True hip hop heads know that his history is so long due to him being the first rap mixshow to ever be on commercial radio on New York’s WBLS (107.5) with Marley Marl and Fly Ty in 1982-1984. Then went on to to WHBI in October 1984 and then back to WBLS in 1985 and WDAS in Philly. Simultaneously he paved the way for all radio stations that ever did mixshows and also sparked the career of Boogie Down Productions due to the ids he showed when they came to shop their demo to him and was turned away which then sparked “South Bronx” and “The Bridge Is Over”. He was known for his direct and sarcastic attitude on the air and every artist wanted his approval when it came to breaking new records. He even had songs dedicated to him by the legendary Whodini (”Mr. Magic’s Wand”) which was surprisingly produced by one of my favorite artists, Thomas Dolby.
Shouts out to Marley Marl & Fly Ty for the correct information on this. Rest in Peace Mr. Magic.
- DJ Premier"

Eclipse on his September 23 Halftime Show Roc Raida Tribute show:
"On Sunday night I threw together a short Roc Raida tribute set at the beginning of my Sirius show. On Monday night Premier and I held our monthly "Like They Used To Say" party at APT which we dedicated to Roc Raida and were able to raise over $4,000 for his family. On Wednesday night I wanted to do a proper tribute show so I contemplated on what to do. As I compiled every song I could that Raida was featured on (production or scratches) I thought it would be better to reach out to his friends and get their take on what the man meant to them. What started out as a dozen or so people that I intended to talk to snowballed into phone call after phone call of friends wanting to share stories. Please forgive me if I left out someone's name (or misspelled) in this email, but following is a list of who called or showed up at station (no particular order):
Boogie Blind, Daddy Dog, Roli Rho, Kuttin Kandi, Riz, JS-1, Jab, Sugar Cuts, Neil Armstrong, Fat Fingaz, Q-Bert, Mixmaster Mike, A-Trak, J-Rocc, Babu, Rhettmatic, Scratch, Revolution, Rahzel, Bobbito, A.G., Lord Finesse, Dr. Butcher, Vin Roc, DJ Grouch, Freestyle, Spictakular, Shortkut, Supreme and Tame One.
We ended up going an hour longer then we should have. In between calls I found some old cassette tapes of radio show appearances by the X-Men. I hope you enjoy listening to the show as much as I did. Thanks to the whole Halftime crew for making this run smooth; Skizz, Petey Cologne and Marz One. To everyone that showed up or called in....I love you all."
