“For we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For in this tent we groan, longing to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling— if indeed, when we have taken it off we will not be found naked. For while we are still in this tent, we groan under our burden, because we wish not to be unclothed but to be…

Recline VII x adidas Originals

We're at it again in April. This month we've got adidas Originals to “Deerupt” the RECLINE space with a heavily anticipated takeover, so expect something bold. We've got you with that 20% off rule on all our merch, so come cop that pair you’ve been keen on.

ART INSTALLATION: Ongoing exhibition of framed prints by Huiskind. PRINT GIVEAWAY: Prints will be given away to the first homies through the door. Never sleep on this. We look forward to seeing you there. You’re the heart and sole of sneakers in the city. We want to make sure you’re there, so that you can school anyone looking to someday walk in your shoes. LINE-UP DJ Eazy Ohmega Watts (NY) Pascoe DJ Aux WoMdantso

MORE ABOUT THE DJs

Ohmega Watts (NY)

A: Where can we catch you when you're not on the decks at Recline?

OW: As I'm from the U.S. it would be stateside, otherwise, for my time in CPT you can find me in a cafe around town doing freelance graphic design work.

A: What music can we expect from you on the night?

OW: When I spin, I take the crowd on a journey, hip-hop can morph into broken beat, funk breaks can more into afro-beat, leading the afro-latin rhythms back to future-beat hip-hop.

A: Where can we hit you up on social? 

OW: @ohmegawatts (Twitter) | mixcloud.com/ohmegawatts | soundcloud.com/ohmegawatts

A: What's the best set you've ever done? Do you have a link to it on your SoundCloud?

OW: Makossa BK Cookout 2013 was a great one, but I have many fav's. Do-Over 2011. My Soundcloud has that mix, but another fav is my Lexdray City Series: Rio De Janiero. Both are here: https://soundcloud.com/makossacookout/dj-ohmega-watts-live-at & https://soundcloud.com/lexdray/lexdray-city-series-volume-24. 

A: How would you describe your style/genre of music

OW: Eclectic/Timeless/Tasteful

DJ Eazy

A: Where can we catch you when you're not on the decks at Recline? 

E: I work as a producer for The Ready D Show on Good Hope FM and also run a non-profit called Hip Hop Education South Africa. When I’m not working on radio or in schools, I’m binge watching Youtube videos on DJ technology or entrepreneurship.

A: What music can we expect from you on the night? 

E: Since it’s a sneaker store I’d probably do a mix of boom bap hip hop tracks and fuse it with some chill trap vibes and break beats. Think Soulection or Ninja Tunes.

A: Where can we hit you up on social? 

Facebook: @djeazysa // Instagram: @djeazysa // Twitter: @djeazysa // SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/dj-eazy-thehopedealer

A: What's the best set you've ever done? Do you have a link to it on your SoundCloud?

E: It must be the Free Community Concert hosted by organisers of the Cape Town International Jazz Festival in 2016 where a crowd of over 15 000 people were singing along to songs of Bob Marley & Michael Jackson. That was an incredible night and sadly my set was not recorded.

A: How would you describe your style/genre of music.

E: I’m what you call an open format DJ so I play everything across the board, as long as it’s got rhythm & soul, and my forte is definitely hip-hop. I’ve also been around for a while so would usually throw in original classics where most of today’s hit songs were sampled from in my sets. My style has no boundaries, I just like to blend unexpected sounds/songs together seamlessly and have fun with it.

Words with Bhonstro

Bhonstro out of Las Vegas USA is one of those souls whom was simply put meant to create. With his varied tracks and ability to verbally influence through his raps, Vernon is consistently making a difference musically and creatively. With tracks like “Dark City” that encourage head bops and deeper reflection to his track “Totoro bump” which some what creates a sense of internal bliss and dazed mediation Bhonstro has you covered. Honest truth is spoken by this individual through his creations and we hope he doesn’t stop producing as his sound is beneficial to all that hear, so reflect and learn with the Las Vegas native Bhonstro.

Favourite Food: Seafood in general but I absolutely love Sushi, Steak and BBQ. 

Favourite Beverage: Thai tea, Milk Tea, Coke.

Favourite thing to do in your spare time: I play a lot of video games. Mainly Street Fighter and RPGS.

Last track you listened to: A beat that my boy lwklky and I made.

A track to chill to: Any Nujabes track from any Nujabes album.

A track to break it down to: Still D.R.E. Ft Snoop

Views on mainstream media: Not all mainstream music is garbage.

A childhood memory in regards to music: Getting excited every wednesday for my mothers band to have practice. I was always exposed to live music this way since I was as 7.

Thanks for that, so how many years have you been creating music and what ultimately inspires you to keep making soul soothing music?

I’ve been making music in general for about 16 years. Started out by playing guitar and teaching myself the piano. I was really into alternative punk music back then but that all changed when Linkin Park came out. I was a big Mike Shinoda fan and the blend of style that their band was doing was so dope. I mean, you’ve got Rage against the machine and Red hot who blended rhymes with other genre’s but Linkin Park, to me atleast, fully achieved that great balance.

Started emceeing first then of course fell in love with creating musical pieces on beat production.

My sound comes from me mainly being based on the West Coast. A lot of music out here is chill. West coast is chill rider music. I’m more of a fan of music that can get me to picture myself driving and cruising or to even just be sitting in a coffee shop lounging.

You’ve released four eps to bandcamp, all are worthy of the download button, so much soul and jazzy vibes with each release, much love! Can you share what each ep means to you and what was your approach and message with each ep? “Right reasons” is what’s up I blast that on the daily with my morning coffee and book.

Good question. I’ve got a rap album with my boy ‘’eQ aka Elaquent” which was my first actual album. Its titled “Self I Am”. What that album was mainly about myself, my struggles, my story, etc. To be honest, there’s a lot of bragidocious tracks on there that arent to reference to anything. Just me trying to flex my wordplay skills really haha.

Clouds in a can is what I consider my first real beat production album. I took it much more seriously since I decided to give emceeing a break. I ultimately didn’t have a particular title but knew the vibe and direction it was going. The title comes from one of my best friends, my sister “Lauren Vianzon”. She’s a genius photographer and videographer. She was showing me some of her creative pieces and I stumbled on the album cover to be... It just so happens that it matched the vibe of the album haha. Check her out y’all! http://laurenicolephotography.com/

Drivers and lightswitches is honestly more of a beat tape. One random ass beat tape. No concept. I just wanted to upload my beats in case I died without spreading my legacy lol jk. In this tape you can hear how my style is def changing. Its getting a bit more gritty. I play with a lot of diff sounds. The title comes from a conversation in the car with my fiance where im the driver and we are arguing about lightswitches for some reason. Random... like I said =].

Right Reasons is basically me trying to find myself. I had a bit of an identity crisis here in Vegas in regards to my music production. I’m a 3 time beat battle champion so you can only expect the kind of music I created to cater to the judges and crowd. It def wasn’t the chill Bhonstro you’re familiar with. I mean there’s nothing wrong with it, but I just didn’t feel any soul from my music anymore. So I got in the lab and created what you here in that album with the help of my fellow artists. I finally found myself, my sound and decided to create music from now on for the right reasons... which is for my enjoyment and to spread music to move your soul.

Seize is my last EP under my fam from “Laruche Records” based in Paris. I take it even further in this album by not just chopping samples but by trying to make the sound more organic. I’m working on trying to take you on a journey rather than just listening to an instrumental loop. Lol hell, I’m still working on this.

You’re based in Las Vegas where I assume the beat scene is doing well, so many diverse artists coming out of those plains! What are your thoughts on the growing beat scene locally and internationally? And can you recommend artists locally sourced that you feel our readers would enjoy?

First off, shout outs to my “The Rabbit Hole Las Vegas” fam! These guys and gals put in the work to give Vegas a monthly show of pure beat music of all genres. Check out our website: http://www.therabbitholelv.com/ or follow us on soundcloud: @therabbitholelv. Vegas has started picking up on the CA beat scene for a while now, but I feel its TRH (the rabbit hole) who have been putting in a lot of work trying to cater to a vegas beat scene. Not to say that there aren’t any other labels out here who are doing the same (shout outs to the behind city lights crew), but just being within the label and seeing the day to day.. I tilt my hat to TRH team. We’ve brought out a few other artists to play at our shows: freddie joachim, losco, and linafornia to just name a few. We’ve also got daedulus of brainfeeder coming through for this months show. *Weezes* That covers the local lol.

Internationally, I’ve got mad love for what my dude junoflo in korea is doing and for what my boy eQ in Canada is doing as well. Junoflo is one of my fave emcees right now. He’s got the voice and charisma to be an A lister imo. The content in his songs are dope. I’m also a sucker for bilingual rappers on songs. eQ is just an inspiration, man. I use FL as well and tbh he pioneered that daw for me and made me not lose hope lol shout outs to elaquent.

Can you share the labels you’re currently signed to and the message you feel each label is trying to convey through the music? I know you’re signed to Cali label Mellow Orange they’re signing a few forward thinking musicians like yourself that are making big moves within the scene A few years back we interviewed Weirddough whom you’ve done a few tracks with over the years, “life strings” through astral basement to name one that has me bouncing every time I hit play. Not to mention “Love Jones” another smooth collaboration, much love. What is it like collaborating with Weirddough and what’s do you enjoy most about collaboration projects in general?

Shout outs to my MO fam! The name itself should express the type of vibes we go for lol. Mellow Orange def has a versatile roster though. On one side you have Freddie, Aso, QSTN, and OhmegaWatts who are masters at jazzy, boom bap vibes. On the other side you have Khadisma, Greybox and Chloe Martini who also have the jazz influence, but also have the RnB/Trap vibe of the spectrum locked. Its crazy though because I feel in general the whole beat scene is going back to jazz and boom bap. Full circle.

Deep Matter Collective is a pretty new label led by a good friend of mine, Tom Pickford. He’s just the coolest dude on this planet. He has a good head on his shoulders and you can actually tell he has love for his brand. The particular sound we achieve through deep matter is very diverse as well. It actually caters more to vocal artists or atleast thats where I believe the strengths lie. You’ve

got vocalists such as Namunna, Natty Reeves and Sam Gouthro who have amazing voices and you’ve got myself, Sam Gouthro again lol, and Oragamik on beat production to name a few. Its a sub genre label for sure. A lot of live music and hip hop/rnb/electronic production. I’ve actually been planning to release my rap album under them. Hmm.. time will tell.

Weirddough is my boy. You know the friendship is real when you have a studio session but don’t get anything done because you’re too busy enjoying the little things. We usually start the session freestyling for 30 minutes, eat, listen to beats, play each other our new beats, then rap again....hahaha it never fails too! So when you see a collab from us... just know that it is a rare phenomenon that we were able to get it done in the first place.

So you also rap, your flow is beyond healing, your track in collaboration with fellow producer Weirddough “insomnia” seems to tell a story which is always craved through the soundscapes. What’s the story behind “insomnia” and how long have you been rapping?

Its actually a remake of one of my older songs I created when my pops passed away back then. I wasn’t able to sleep for weeks when it happened.

As for time frame. I was at it for about 3 years before I went on hiatus in 2009 to work on beat production. Do expect new things in 2017 though! I’m coming back with a vengeance and will be releasing a rap album later this year with my production as well.

What inspires you to write on the day to day in regards to the material you come when you’re putting together lyrics for your raps?

Depends on the mood i’m in. I’m known for being a cupcake emcee lol meaning I tend to rap about love a lot. If i’m experiencing some drama in my life though you can expect to hear something about it.

Whom and what inspires you on the day to day musically?

It’s in my genetics to relate everything to music. Every emotion and feeling whether good or bad enables me to create. It might sound corny as hell, but music saves me.

About a month ago you released boom bap goodness through your collaboration with Cali native Freddie Joachim on the track “Dark City”.The track is so gentle on the ears, not to mention great for rainy days in with a cup of tea and a good book. How did this collaboration come about and what’s it like to collaborate with Freddie?

Freddie was out here for a collaborative show between my two labels MO x TRH. It was a short trip but basically the conversation goes:

Myself “Bro... I’ve got a beat I need help on. Mind if I send it your way?” Freddie “Yeah man. Email it.”

And that’s it. Lol I exaggerate. Of course there’s back and forth but that’s the main idea.

It trips me out how regular of a dude Freddie is. Actually, The whole MO fam in general is just a bunch of nerds who just so happen to make music! Majority of us love video games, photography, movies, and food. So if you view our conversations it’s mainly on nerdy ass topics for real haha. Freddie is a character though.. He’s quick with the sarcasm and jokes. I call him Freddie The Assassin because he will get you when you least expect it.

Here at beatsfortheill we have a deep appreciation for spiritual growth and expression. Who and what inspires you spiritually to continue down your path within music?

No comment.

In regards to your soundcloud releases I have to mention my love for your track “this is all” it honestly curbs the morning blues for real, such a motivating tune. What was this track like to put together in comparison to your other beats?

This was set up pretty standard. Heard a sample I liked and chopped it to pretty much make sense to the listener. Getting the drums to have that snap was a journey though. I think I layered the snare with 2 other snares. Got it to sound a bit grittier with the sp404 and then it was game over! This is one of those beats that I’m amazed ppl like haha.

What do you use to put your tracks together? Do you play any musical instruments?

My main weapon of choice is FL Studio with a few hw pieces to compliment it: Sp404sx, Microkorg, kp3, and Rolan FA06

Any live shows coming up that we should keep an eye out for?

Sure do! We’ve got the 2 year show feat Daedulus on the 28th of this month! All members of the rabbits will be playing as well. https://www.facebook.com/events/304159726652142/

Any Last Words?

Shout outs to my labels who’ve been down with me. You can expect an album to be released by yours truly under the Mellow Orange brand as well as by Deep Matter Collective this year! And shout outs to you Sophie and to Beats for the Ill for giving me this opportunity!
