One of this week’s standouts has a common, green
vegetable as its focus… German Turntablist crew Noisy
Stylus presents “Broccoli Wars,” off of the
compilation, “Return of the DJ, Volume 5.” The track
was originally released as a single in 2001. Check out
the Noisy Stylus website for more information about
this quartet of award winning “record players” from
Cologne, Germany.
Another standout track is “Tribute to 365 Days
Project” (Parts 1 and 2), by the Dutch musician Jan
Turkenburg. Check out the SAR Blog to read this week’s
SAR Q&A with Turkenburg. His tracks were created in
response to a challenge by Otis Fodder to create a
composition based on his “365 Days Project.” Find out
more HERE.
