Off Top Productions

Hey guys,

I was probably the only one who didn't go to the retreat, because I had a family emergency that night. I had my bags packed and ready to go too!!!. But anyways I hope to find out more about what y'all did through these blogs.

But anyways, what I do want to know about and research more about, are Filipino songs -- mainly Ilocano folk songs or modern (if they still write some). One day, coming back from school, I arrive to find my mother playing these old Ilocano folk songs that would make anyone annoyed. However I found it interesting that, a lot of these songs were just remakes, in which nobody knew the authors of these songs. In the end, it gave me inspiration to go out and research. And because of this, I was actually inspired to sample old Filipino tracks.

Being an open minded producer, I can sit down near a turntable and just spin vinyls all day. And everyday I find myself in a constant struggle to find inspiration to make beats. I definitely plan to make new music by the end of this summer.

In fact, I just helped co-produced an album for my emcee: BLUE. If anybody want's a copy , I will be selling them this friday. Since you guys are my barkadas =).... instead of $8 bucks, ill sell em for $3...=P

Peep some tracks at: www.myspace.com/blue

one love.1 peace
