The Blast DJ Spotlight: Coach Roebuck

Check out The Giant Blast featured DJ, Coach Roebuck.  Coach Roebuck is a long time member of our digital record pool, and for all Roebuck's hard work with supporting our Blast featured artists and spinning the music we blast out from our record pool , as well as reviewing different music from our pool, we honor Coach Roebuck by dedicating a section of our Blast Blog to him.

The Giant Blast:  Why do you call yourself "Coach" instead of "DJ" Roebuck?
Coach Roebuck:  I coached an AAU summer track program in Charleston, WV for three years. When I decided to get into music, I needed a name that stood out. There are simply too many DJs who can't work their systems. They think that because they have Serato Live and they can push a few buttons that they can DJ. Meanwhile, it is not uncommon for me to experience mad technical difficulties and still rock a party, like I recently did in Arkansas. Hence, the name Coach Roebuck.

The Giant Blast:  How long have you been spinning?
Coach Roebuck:  I didn't start spinning seriously until 2004. I can't believe it's been that long already.

The Giant Blast:  What influenced you to become a DJ?
Coach Roebuck:  I never thought I'd get involved. I thought I'd be in sports until an injury squashed those dreams, I soon turned to developing music software, but I wasn't able to gain support. While experimenting existing music software, I developed a new hobby in music production. I was remixing 80s music for my own enjoyment. As a way to get my music heard, I decided to become a DJ.

A few key events triggered the beginning of my career as a DJ. I was at a low point in my life, which undoubtedly will make anyone make some drastic changes in their lives. I started educating myself on expectations and anticipations of the music business. Along the way, I encountered a community full of positive and inspiring people. I even came up with a project plan to jump start a music career as a semester assignment in my project management class during grad school. The model apparently, and shamelessly, has seen success.

The Giant Blast: What do you spin?
Coach Roebuck:  My preference is underground dance music. My sound is often filtered disco, sampling a lot of 70s music. I occasionally play hard-style techno, too.

The Giant Blast:  Where do you spin?
Coach Roebuck:  I've been keeping myself busy playing at just about every underground party thrown out here in the Midwest. I'm currently making plans to take my party back to the East Coast.

The Giant Blast:  Could you explain "Ghettotech" for the readers? Coach Roebuck:  Ghettotech is derived from Booty Bass music and originated from Detroit. It's heavily influenced by Hip-Hop & techno. It often consists of a 4x4 beat, is played twice the speed of Hip Hop, and is very bass heavy. It's different from Miami Bass in that it's more fresh & straight-up dirty. You won't find any cookie-cutting garbage in this genre. To further dig into the music, I recommend checking out DJ Funk, DJ Assault, DJ Nasty, Disco D & DJ Godfather. They're recognized as the forerunners of Ghettotech.

The Giant Blast:  How would you describe the style of music that you produce?
Coach Roebuck:  In general, my rule of thumb is "If it doesn't apply, let it fly." The production is heavily influenced by house & techno, consists of advanced beats, heavy bass melodies, and filter effects. My style in production is almost as similar as I would DJ.

The Giant Blast:  What software do you use to construct your remixes?
Coach Roebuck:  I swear by Propellerhead Reason. I've been using it since 2006. It's the ultimate sampling tool. As an added bonus, you can use it as a plugin to use in more superior software such as Ableton, Pro Tools, and Cubase.

The Giant Blast:  What are some of the highlights you've experienced in your career as a DJ?
Coach Roebuck:  Two years into being a DJ, I played a party in Switzerland. The buzz generated on the East Coast had apparently reached the Swiss Mountains. The way people embrace music overseas is unparalleled.
I've noticed the amount of releases and remixes significantly increased last year. This year's going to be even better. Good times lie ahead for the Coach in the world of production.

The Giant Blast:  What were some of the worst experiences you've had as a DJ and how did you learn from it? 
Coach Roebuck:  I caught Hell in my hometown promoting underground dance music. The community was very apathetic and unresponsive for a long time, and I had a serious hater's club among the locals artists and bands. It's terribly difficult to push any alternative music in most small towns throughout America. But it made for an excellent exercise.
Slowly I began make a name for myself and earn respect. The best decision I ever made was to travel all over the East Coast to meet like-minded people with similar passions for music, and to my surprise, facing similar obstacles in their respective cities. Being conveniently centralized on the East Coast during that time was very beneficial. In a very short time, I found myself playing in parties from DC & Baltimore to Chicago, courtesy of different DJ crews and promoters.

All it took when I finished my travels was throwing one party with some well-known talent. In one night, all the critics shut their mouths. It was a good feeling and a good sense of accomplishment. 

The Giant Blast:  What advice would you give aspiring DJs?
Coach Roebuck:  You better DJ because you love it first and watch your ego or you won't last. I cannot stress this enough. The saying that "Pride seems to come before a man's downfall" can't be more true. I've seen well-known people crash and burn really hard before my eyes. The music industry is cold as Hell. Audiences can be unbelievable and unpredictable. If your name or your choice of music is unknown, it's going to take a lot of patience and perseverance to get ahead. I have become a much happier person and more creative today due to my love of music and remaining a very kind and humble person.

The Giant Blast:  Is there anything you would like to plug or shout out?
Coach Roebuck:  The Coach would like to give a shout-out to all the music lovers who keeps it real and took the time to read this.
A quick shout-out to the Giant Blast Crew for being gracious enough to interview the Coach. Peace, love & Happiness!  I also wanna give a shout-out to Porscha Parker out in LA taking over the city. Drop a line some time and let the Coach know you're breathing air. Much luv!

The Blast Spotlight: L.E.G.A.C.Y.

Check out the blast featured artist of the week!  L.E.G.A.C.Y. of The Justus League!  If you missed our blast one on one exclusive interview with L.E.G.A.C.Y. (from March) then you can read the entire interview here at this link
http://theblastblog.blogspot.com/2010/03/blast-spotlight-legacy.html

This week to shine more light on L.E.G.A.C.Y.'s digital exclusive titled "Reckless", we sit down with the producer of the song, North Carolina based beat maker J-Coleman for a blast one on one exclusive interview!

The Giant Blast:  How would you describe the type of music that you produce?

J-Coleman:  Different.  I like to sample different kinds of records, chop them up and rearrange them so that I make it my own. 

The Giant Blast:  Who are some of your influences as a beatmaker?

J-Coleman:  DJ Premier, Pete Rock, Kanye, Pharrell, RJD2, RZA, Timbaland, 9th Wonder the list goes on and on.  I mostly get inspired listening to beats by those old golden age boom bap beatmakers. 

The Giant Blast:  What would you say is the difference between a beatmaker and a producer, and which one do you feel that you are?

J-Coleman:  In my opinion, a producer is someone that does more than just manipulate sound, a producer composes something a little deeper than that, and doesn't just have an artist perform over the track, but actually sits down with the artist and has a vision for a song and executes it as a team.  The producer in my opinion is like a director and the vocalist is like the actor, and

the beat is like a movie scene.  A beat maker is just someone who makes the beat, sends it to the artist and they go their separate ways, leaving the artist free reign to do whatever they want with very little input from the actual beatmaker.  By the definitions I just gave, I'm more of a beatmaker than a producer, unfortunately, not by choice but by circumstances.  If the artists and I had more time between us, or if there weren't so many other factors involved I would love to get the chance to sit down with an artist and just work on something together as apposed to them picking out beats and we move it along.  I'm working with an artist by the name of Chanell Ketchmore, and although we still don't have enough spare time between us to sit down and go back and forth over the direction of a track, right now she is the only artist that I have been able to put some kind of creative stamp on the final outcome of the songs and that's great.  Maybe in the future I will get more opportunities like this, to sit down and mold a song with an artist, but so far it's just been the artist getting whatever beat, and we do what we can with whatever allotted time we have.   

The Giant Blast:  You recently composed the track "Reckless" for Justus League member L.E.G.A.C.Y., what was it like working with him?

J-Coleman:  L.E.G.A.C.Y. is great... I'm glad he blessed the track the way he did.  I didn't want to make the typical soul sample track for L.E.G., he talks about how he's not just a rapper but a "rock star", so I was inspired to create a rock style beat for him to rock to.  With electric guitars and live sounding drums.  He murders the beat!   

The Giant Blast:  Who else have you worked with?

J-Coleman:  I've made plenty of beats for independent and underground recording artists over these past couple of years.  I've worked with Lubuck, TX based recording artist Slate Stone.  I did 3 beats on G.'s most recent album American Scholar.  Sug, The One Kemist, Sham Grammar, Stoncity, Reina Williams, R&B singer Dean Thomas, I did the single "So Insecure" for Lady Mae.... um... I've worked with Black Diamond, Yatta AKA Da Kaptain of Race City Records, Concreet, LSP who was featured in The Blaze Battle on HBO years ago (the one that Shellz won and we never heard from again) and the list goes on and on.  You can check out my full discography so far at http://www.jcolemanbeats.blogspot.com

The Giant Blast:  Who would you like to work with in the future?

J-Coleman:  Anybody really.... any artist that I'm feeling and that I feel I can gel with and make some magic with, I'm down to do it.  Instead of rambling and running off a list of A list artists I fantasize about getting in the studio with like most people do when they are asked this question (and hopefully one day I myself would get to work with those A list people as well), but for a more tangible "this could happen sooner than later" type of answer, I'd say Stitchy C. (Ed E. Ruger's boy), D.R. Universal of No Question Entertainment, Random AKA Mega Ran of R.A.H.M. Nation, D Fitz, some of those other guys, fill in the blank of another artist here and/or all or anybody from Civil Mics Movement, shout out to Twist!  That's just a short list of some talented artists that I'd throw some heat to in a minute!

The Giant Blast:  Speaking of the future, where do you see yourself as a beatmaker in 5 years?

J-Coleman: Still making the type of music that I love, but only with a longer resume than I have now.

The Giant Blast:  While we are on the topic of the future, what projects or records do you have lined up or preparing to release next?

J-Coleman:   Like I said earlier Chanell Ketchmore and I are working on an EP.  I also plan on releasing some theme based instrumental projects, starting with The Voiceless EP.  I have some other projects up my sleeve too.  I'd like to do another compilation project too, and this time one where I carefully select different artists for a specific theme instead of just compiling a bunch of random left over joints and putting it all on one thing like I did with The Economic Stimulus Project.

The Giant Blast:  Where can artists that maybe interested in your work listen to your beats?

J-Coleman:  They can check out these links http://www.youtube.com/jcolemanbeats, http://www.soundclick.com/jcolemanbeats, and http://www.myspace.com/jcoleman, but that's not all I have.  I have a library of hundreds of beats that aren't even posted online.

The Giant Blast:  Is there anything else you would like to plug?

J-Coleman:  You should mos def check out my official beat blog at http://www.jcolemanbeats.blogspot.com and also follow me on twitter too and http://www.twitter.com/jcolemanbeats, I ain't talkin' about shit on there, but then again who does.... that's what it's used for.  Also a special thank you shout out to The Giant  Blast!

The Blast Spotlight: Sean J.

Check out this exclusive interview with Hawaiian born emcee Sean J. of the Civil Mics Movement!  In this interview Sean J. discusses his latest single "It's Nothing" featuring Young Money's Jae Millz, the future of hip hop, working with Rev. Run, and giving fans a first hand look into the mind of one of hip hop's rising lyricists Sean J.

The Giant Blast: How would you describe yourself as an artist?
Sean J:  I would say that I'm honest and a reflection of my experiences. Everything in my music from the concepts, punchlines, feel, delivery, etc... are all influenced by what I lived.  From me doing tours, to night club promoting, to handling business with other things... its all there.

The Giant Blast:  What does Sean J. get into besides music? 

Sean J:  I love living the non-rapping life (laughs). Yes, I take music very serious; but at the same time, I like to do normal things.  I ain't the type to just be jumping into ciphers and stuff like that, so you can catch me kicking back, watching whatever NBA game... while sipping on something.

The Giant Blast:  Getting back to the music, what types of beats bring out the best in Sean J.?

 Sean J:  Heavy soul sampled beats always gets to me.  Give me one with the right sample, chops, and drum patterns; and I will black out.

The Giant Blast:  You have a song with Young Money recording artist Jae Millz, for those that haven't heard the song yet, how would you describe the track with you and Jae Millz? 

Sean J:  Well, we originally did the song 4 years ago for my last album, Back To Square One.  It was a very cliche rap song... basically talking about getting money and spending it like "Its Nothin'" (the title of the track). The song never really popped off as it should, so I decided to redo it with a whole new beat, feel, and new verse from me. This version is a combination of my old style (cocky, flashy) with the new me (depth, content). When I first heard the beat from my producer Soy, I knew it was the one.

The Giant Blast:  Who else have you worked with? 

Sean J:  Nothing too major... Though, I have a track with Rev Run over the "Jesus Walks" beat which came out like 6 years ago.  We knew someone that had a unreleased verse from him and he blessed us with it.

The Giant Blast:  Who would you like to work with in the future? 

Sean J:  Anyone who is truly into the artistry of music.

The Giant Blast:  What projects are you working on right now? 

Sean J:  Right now, I'm mentally gearing myself for my next album, A Man of Means. That won't be dropping for awhile, so I'm definitely taking my time.  In between that, I'll be dropping several random EPs and mixtapes... one being me rapping over the beats from Amy Winehouse's Back to Black album.  Also, preparing for a duo project with one of my producers, Soy. We formed a group called F.T.G. (Flip Them Guys). The chemistry always been good with us... it was only right to make it official.

The Giant Blast:  Where do you see yourself in 5 years? 

Sean J:  I want to be to the point where I'm constantly touring or doing shows, especially internationally.  I just got to remain consistent and be patient.

The Giant Blast:  Where do you see hip hop in 5 years? 

Sean J:  Very good question. Right now, there's a lot of good music coming out compared to the years that pass.  Hopefully, that will continue.

The Giant Blast:  Is there anything else you would like to plug? 

Sean J:  Definitely! Right now, I have free-album available for download called A Tree By Itself.  What Blueprint was to Jay Z is what this album is to me.  I tried to make sure that everything from the lyrics to the beats to the mixing to the artwork... everything... was aiming to the direction I wanted.  You can get that album and find out the latest from me at http://SEANJisSOMEAN.com . Also, follow me on twitter for the play by play: @SEANJisSOMEAN (http://twitter.com/SEANJisSOMEAN).

The Blast DJ Spotlight: DJ Modesty

Check out The Giant Blast featured DJ, DJ Modesty.  DJ Modesty is a long time member of our digital record pool, and for all Modesty's hard work with supporting our Blast featured artists and spinning the music we blast out from our record pool on his Real Hip Hop Radio show, as well as reviewing different music from our pool, we honor DJ Modesty by dedicating a section of our Blast Blog to him.

Check out this Giant Blast one on one exclusive interview with France based Hip Hop DJ/producer, DJ Modesty!

 

 

The Giant Blast: How has your 2010 been so far?

DJ Modesty:  2010 start very well, I did many projects like special radio shows hosted and Mixtapes.  It seems that 2010'll be a year full of events and Mixtapes, it's a good sign for the future.  I'm happy to work more with some people that I respected a lot, pionners & real Hip hop mc's, Dj's...

 

 

The Giant Blast:  How long have you been spinning?

DJ Modesty:  It's the 10th anniversary of my DJ career.  I began in 2000 but things really started later when I bought my 1st pair of Technics Turntable to learn about deejaying.

 

 

The Giant Blast:  What DJs influenced you to spin?

DJ Modesty:  I'm a golden years fanatic and i raised up in this era.  My idols were Funkmaster Flex, Dj Premier & in France some Dj's like Cut Killer, Poska, JR Ewing.  First, I like dj's who do Blend Mixes and play underground sounds with Boom Bap beats but I like also to listen turntablism skillz like beatjuglings, scratches when it's with the Hip Hop Musicality.

 

 

The Giant Blast:  You also produce, what inspired you to make beats?

DJ Modesty:  I think that to produce is natural for a DJ because after listening and playing sounds, we want to be the man behind the MPC.  First, it's because I like music and I was curious to know how to build a beat, to use the material and to be happy to listen to a Emcee on my beat, but it's also a next step to be recognized by the Hip Hop world.  A producer have more impact than a DJ because he's the reason of the success of a song.  I wanted to have exclusives to mix in my projects and to keep alive the Boom Bap beats.  My favorites producers are DJ Premier, Pete Rock, alchemist, Showbiz, Large Pro... and I would like to have the same impact but i have not their experience so my sounds are very differents.

 

 

The Giant Blast:  Who have you worked with so far?

DJ Modesty:  As a Producer, i got a joint of Camiliano from Crown city QUEENS for my next Album and i continue to keep beats for this project.  It's just the begining of Modesty as a Producer. As a DJ, i worked with a lot of mc's like Nut Rageous, Cold Heat, Curt Digga, Guru (R.I.P.), Ali Vegas, The Closers, Smiley The Ghetto Child, Bekay, Napoleon Da Legend, Milano, Imam Thug & Many more...and i performed on many events as a  DJ for shows or BBoying, Top Dance Battles (5 th Times at Juste Debout in Paris-FRANCE...)

 

 

The Giant Blast:  Who would you like to work with in the future?

DJ Modesty:  I'll like to work with Dj Premier, Mic Geronimo, Kool G rap, Royal Flush, Infamous Mobb, Mobb Deep, Nutso, Saigon, Smiley the ghetto Child, Big Shug, Nas, CNN, Group Home, MOP, DITC...Some artists from The Golden years and some Real Hip Hop Mc's & producers.

 

 

The Giant Blast:  What projects or mixtapes have you put out in the past?

DJ Modesty:  1St Album Mixed Kings From Queens, i did some Special real Hip Hop Show Mixtape editions (Nutso, Cold Heat, Noe, Paradyce), Tribute Mixtape for KILLA SHA (R.I.P.), Special Queens Retrospective Vol1 hosted by Ali Vegas, The REAL HIP HOP SHOW official Mixtape Vol 1, SEAZ independent Mixtape (Winter), International Cool Mc's with Franchise Da King Mc, Street Stranglerz Vol. 1 hosted by Blaze Burna, Same Game New Voice for Chane Linc, My Law My Order Vol 4 & 5 with Misphit, R&B Flava Vol 1 & 2 ...

 

 

The Giant Blast:  Are there any projects that you are working on now?

DJ Modesty:  I continue to work on some Tv Interviews that i started with Nutso & Bekay. The next editions'll be with Napoleon Da Legend, Ali Vegas, Smiley The Ghetto Child, M Dot, Sav Killz, BBAS, A&E... i Work to drop some Real Hip Hop Show Mixtape editions dedicated to Ali Vegas, Smiley The Ghetto Child, Napoleon Da Legend... I Also work on the M DASH Mixtape, the Kyron (Screwball) Street Album & soon a mixtape for my homie Curt Digga & Verbal Harassment. i did some cuts on projects like Crazeology, DG Beats...and i continue to produce for KINGS FROM QUEENS Part 2.

 

 

The Giant Blast:  What does DJ Modesty get into outside of music?

DJ Modesty:  My work outside Music is to teach Hip Hop Dance so i'm a lot around the Bboying universe.  My 1st love is Basketball so I play in the team of my city and I try to practice in the playgrounds too when i have time to do. Sincerely,all my time is to work on the Music, on Internet to do promo, work on Mixtapes, Radio Show, beats... and I couldnt forget the essential, my family, my girlfriend with our baby.
