 Coolness: 2604025 | Few local collectives have rallied so passionately about a particular genre as Montreal's Planet Break crew. Through a strictly enforced mandate of exposing all things breakbeat, showcasing the technical aptitude of their in-house resident DJs while welcoming and uniting existing factions within the local scene, the Planet Break boys have put their heart and soul into spreading their love for syncopated beats of a danceable nature. With their much anticipated return this weekend, they'll be reunited with fans, old friends and breakbeat fanatics citywide, filling an aching void in the local scene.
"Planet Break was created in 2004 by myself and Pinky 38," recounts Spacekadet with his usual reserve, "with the help of partners Daz and Deyond. We were all DJs and producers at the time. Finding places to play was hard back then so we decided to start at the bottom of the ladder and organize our own events. We made our mark fairly quickly, I think because of the friendly atmosphere of our nights and especially 'cause of the intensity that we give off when we perform. Planet Break brought together DJs, live acts, visuals, scratching and MCing, always on the funkier, dancier side of breakbeat music. I think we really took our true form when Kai and Murdock joined us in 2005 - they brought us to a higher level artistically." As monthly events at Café Soho, Academy and Plaza Theatre turned into weeklies, Spacekadet and Pinky saw their stocks as DJs rise, performing twice at WEMF and helping to organize Piknic's first breakbeat Sunday in the summer of '07. Burning the candle at both ends, Pinky and Spacekadet found they needed some time to regenerate their chi. "I believe that changing Planet Break from a monthly to a weekly caused it to lose steam," Spacekadet confided to me. "Little by little the event lost its magic, and that had a direct impact on our motivation. Running a successful weekly is a full-time job, and seeing how for us it was in fact a second job, even more of a hobby than work, we decided to take a break [heheh] and concentrate on different personal projects." "The return was natural for all of us. The total absence of breakbeat nights, the desire to get the old crowd together and party, and most of all the taste to make people discover our music has pushed us to bring back the nights. The passion for the music has never left us, as everyone will see on Saturday!" Planet Break: The Return is Saturday, Feb. 7, featuring DJs Spacekadet, Pinky 38, Kai, Murdock and Nino (4177 St-Denis). Alas with each rebirth comes a death: Project Mayhem presents the final chapter in the Raves R Us saga, bringing all things core for one last rainbow-coloured explosion of psychotropic, electronic glee on Saturday night. On behalf of all right-minded, music loving citizens of our community, Lalla Land personally thanks the mysterious co-operative for their vision and commitment to the cause. Raves R Us will feature Toronto's Saiyan and Fuzzboy, Quebec's Merkurius, Sherbrooke's Tamerax, Project Mayhem's Don Louis and Matduke, and local favourites Matricks, Lonestar, Mutante, Sickness, Na, Deadfunk and more (at Existenz afterhours, 1540 Des Laurentides Blvd., info: [ rave.ca ] "The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side." -Hunter S. Thompson |

| Coolness: 129760 | I dunno if I agree, my experience so far with music and the music business has been extremely positive for the most part.
& Planet Break it itself is a good example of what can be positive in the music business. Those guys have been the most honest cats on the scene ever since I've known them Add yourselves to the attending, gonna be a great party! [ www.rave.ca ] |

| Coolness: 86545 | oh that's cool. It's an extremely cynical quote.
sure there is a lot of positivity, but he was referring to the business side of things, rather than the art |

 Coolness: 61095 | depends...if youre in indie rap you can make your own bizniss
And you'll know it was me by the trail of demos Spare me the details, e-mails, memos Dookie-gold chain letter to whom it may concern Put this around your neck until your hangin on my every word Stalkin', walkin' in my big black boots I'm the DLY artist with thick grass roots Had a couple managers as a youth I was too young to know better but I was like "What does a manager do?" Now one of them he saw dollar signs in my skin color The other, he said to keep it undercover Post-VIP Posse, Pre-Internet Nazi era Powers of suggestion suggested I be what I'm not and that's not me ever From Lasienega to Meadowbrook Drive Never looked surprised Cut to the chase with metal hooks and knives Now it's battle time, I stepped in the arena Thirteen year old gladiator freak with a fever for the flavor of a fight on the mic Follow the leader Mistachuck was the surrogate father Krs-One, the teacher There I was, sneakin into clubs Beat an emcee to the punch over instrumentals dubbed From tape deck to tape deck Pause tape mix at breakneck speed The only whitey in sight That doesnt make me realer than you, or faker than you But I'm authentic, forget it Started breakin rules Ten years later still hadnt stopped Won the biggest battle in a Metallica shirt before the album dropped A week later, smashed the trophy at a show It was takin up the space that I needed to grow Pop pop goes the weasel (the weasel) Drop drop goes the easel (the easel) This is hip hop for the people Stop callin it emo (waah) I know a kid who thinks he's hip hop cause he buys it I know a kid who thinks he's hip hop cause he never buys shit Underground or mainstream Some are bound to change schemes Y'all weren't doin this dirt When Jeru came clean Before the Freddie Foxxx conflict with DMX Around the time Jay-Z and Nas's girl had sex I used to wake up every morning on a hard wooden floor Livin in Brooklyn with a car I couldnt afford And if I wasn't hangin out in front of Fat Beats records, I was in the factory, mailing my 12-inches Nowadays, the DJs don't even spin wax So fuck a promo copy, buddy, you can download the track Seratooo promo sexual laptop A hollow existence in a bottle Ya' sip sip and swallow I tripped quick then followed a path that made sense Started out with a live band then worked with turntablists Now I strike a match with the back of my front teeth And light up the stage with just speech I remember the days Ken and Dave let me crash on their couch And I saved what I could and put the cash in my mouth When I played in my hood I had a fraction of outs Til Atmosphere put me on and now I'm packin the house Since the mid-80s this has been a game of cat and mouse It's funny hearin all the shit these rappers brag about Knowin all of them are walkin around with massive doubts Talkin bout it's only status and platinum plaques that count Pop pop goes the weasel (the weasel) Drop drop goes the easel (the easel) This is hip hop for the people (the people) Stop calling it emo (wah) Irony is dead, it's so motherfucking dead, I was there by it's deathbed And the last words that it said Was "Whiiiiite booyyyy" I'm Still Sick with an independent record labek I built quick just when I got Sick of Waiting Tables Then in the blink of an eye I waged War As a Known Unsoldier with a soul you can't pay for I ran a business on my own two legs Known to beg if I needed to with Home Grown bootlegs. I cut and pasted images of my face and then sloppily placed 'em in a case. Strange Famous. I stayed True when School was in Session. Went to college to buy time, that shit was expensive. So I shamelessly self-promoted The radio station would open doors and opportunities Eventually made it to Oakland where anticon accepted me with open hands Journals fot Personal on a one dollar advance. Non-Prophets had a hope that a UK label smashed, so I crossed out my eyes and signed to Epitaph This is the hustle of an emcee The Distrust is Healthy In a dirty industry where the promises are empty I'm more honest than friendly More handsome than sexy Let me bring you up to speed, Humans do a Dance that's Deadly |
