We like Pam Grier, Red Stripe, the sound and the smell of records, mixtapes,the SF Giants, analog synths, McCovey Cove, Lanikai at night, and San Francisco's indian summer.
Here's a short youtube video of Joe performing "Mic Theatre" from his album with Factor, Live in 75. The Sideroad crew along with Kirby Dominant are here in the Islands on a mini-tour, and this was from their set at the Trip the Lights Beatroot Championships.
If anyone has more video or photo footage please send it our way. I ran out of batteries and lost a bunch of the footage that was on my camera. :( You can send any footage to asitarecordings@hotmail.com.
Thanks to all those that came out and stayed for the performance. It was a really hype set and all around beautiful night.
Buy this man a beer! Born and Raised in Saskatoon, SK, Canada. Factor is the owner and operator of sideroadrecords.com. This super producer has produced and released over 20 albums with collaborations from some of underground heaviest hitters. He is coming off a critically acclaimed and productive year releasing his latest solo album Famous Nights and Empty Days, AWOL One and Factor - Only Death Can Kill You, Kay the Aquanaut - Spinning Blue Planet, The Gaff and Factor - The Trip Beyond and Joe Dub - LIVE IN 75! Check him out at myspace.com/factor3 for tour updates and album info......(NEW Factor album coming out in May titled "Chandelier"...be on the look out!)
p-minus, joe, deeskee --- Check out this perfect cross section Joe's music, old and new, presented by Chris Velasco over at Grandgood. I love the fact that lesser known songs were given shine and the way the whole thing was put together.
By next week "Live in 75" should be available everywhere. The previously unreleased title track is featured at the end of the mix. Please support! --- This audiocast features a mix of old Joe Dub [Young Joseph] songs that I like to play in the summer time, plus the track Live in 75 off the new Joe Dub album of the same name - Live in 75. Producer Factor handles most of the music for this album and Joe showcases a different sound from previous work. His most recent solo album (Joe’s old group San Francisco Street Music probably deserves its own post) from 2003 The Walk is my favorite piece of hip hop vinyl to come out this decade and the type of west coast rap that I wish played on the radio (…and Crooked I). This audiocast/mix features 2 songs from that album plus songs from his Summer Fling LP including Sabado Gigante with Megabusive which is really fun. The disgustingly underrated producer and engineer Deeskee did beats for a lot of Joe’s finest music but Joe Dub is probably the best producer who rocks the mic from San Francisco (who currently lives in Hawaii). This audiocast was made using 75% vinyl. Live In 75 is available this month via Side Road Records and features Awol One, Kirby Dominant, Mestizo, Ellay Khule, DJ Marz, Kay the Aquanaut, and more.
