GONJASUFI & MAINFRAME “HOLIDAYS” & “CANDYLANE” … TIS THE SEASON !

THIS RELEASE HAS BEEN OUT FOR A COUPLE MONTHS BUT BECAUSE IT IS THE HOLIDAY SEASON I WANTED TO POST THIS AND UPDATE YOU ABOUT 1 OF MY FAVORITE PROJECTS THAT I AM INVOLVED WITH. I SPIRITUALLY MET GONJASUFI 1 NIGHT IN A MUTUAL DREAM WE BOTH HAD. IN THE DREAM I WAS AN EXPLORER THAT DISCOVERED UNUSUAL SIZED VINYL (LIKE 22” - 50” VINYL) AND SUFI WAS A 1 ARMED MIDGET ON STILTS WHO WAS GRABBING THESE GIGANTIC RECORDS OUT OF THE SKY FOR ME. THE NEXT DAY GASLAMP KILLER BROUGHT HIM BY THE OXYGEN TANK IN LONG BEACH (DREAMS COME TRUE). WHEN GONJASUFI ENTERED MY STUDIO I WAS PLAYING A MELODY ON 1 OF MY ORGANS AND SUFI VIBED OUT ON IT (A LOT OF DAPS&POUNDS AND SUFI SCREAMING “OOOOH THATS MONEY G !”) . BOOM ! I KEPT PLAYING THE MELODY AND THEN PRESSED PLAY ON THE ORGAN PRE PROGRAMMED DRUMS, AND BASICALLY RECORDED THE BEAT IN 1 TAKE (THANK YOU JOSH1 FOR PRESSING THE RECORD BUTTON AND CAPTURING THAT MOMENT) . I THEN GAVE THE BEAT TO SUFI AND HE RECORDED HIS VOCALS OVER IT . AS SOON AS I HEARD IT, I KNEW IT WAS MAJOR AND FROM THAT POINT ON WE WOULD BE MAKING A LOT OF MAGIC (AROUND THAT POINT GONJASUFI JOINS THE JOHNSON FAMILY AND CROWNED HIMSELF W/ THE NAME MAGIC JOHNSON). THIS ORGAN / VOCAL TRACK THAT I AM TALKING ABOUT IS CALLED “HOLIDAYS” AND IT IS THE FIRST SINGLE OFF OF GONJASUFI’S ALBUM ON WARP RECORDS.

THE 7” SINGLE IS OUT NOW AND IT SOUNDS AMAZING ! THE HOMIE MRR AKA DIRTY DRUMS DID AN AMAZING JOB W/ THE ARTWORK & PACKAGING ! YO … THE 7” EVEN COMES W/ A GONJASUFI PRAYER BOOK WHICH IS ACTUALLY A LYRIC BOOK FOR HIS LP ! ALL AROUND THIS IS 1 OF THE BEST PROJECTS THAT I’VE BEEN INVOLVED W/ AND I WANTED TO SHARE THE GREATNESS AND SPREAD THE WORD ABOUT GONJASUFI TO ALL OF YOU. GASLAMP KILLER, FLYING LOTUS & I PRODUCED SUFI’S LP WHICH WILL BE RELEASED SOMETIME DURING THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2010. SUFI & I WILL ALSO BELAUNCHING OUR LABEL CALLED A.I.R. IN THE NEAR FUTURE !
