I have been excited to announce this one. Runaway Productions - K Records and Dantes Presents - Nov 8th The Chicharones (Sleep & Josh Martinez), Smoke M2D6, Thee Xntrx, Xperience (XP) of Oldominion, Goldini Bagwell of Sandpeople, Poeina Suddarth and Karl Blau - ALL YOUR FRIENDS FRIENDS is a seminal Northwest Hip-Hop compilation album produced entirely off of samples pulled from the K catalogue. Featuring over 30 of the most unique MCs from the region including members of mega-crews OLDOMINION and the SANDPEOPLE, the album also introduces a host of hidden talent from OLYMPIA, WA — K’s sonic stomping ground. This decades-spanning compilation is a creative celebration of the Northwest sound and scene in some of its most striking masks and mani- festations. The energy of the album moves fluidly between dark, angsty, and self-reflective to upbeat, nostalgic, and carefree, taking the listener on an underground rap odyssey through the overcast streets, anarchist basements, cramped performance spaces, and stoned-out suburbs of this moody and musical part of the world. Through kaleidoscopic counter-cultural mashups and top-secret sam- pling styles, producer Smoke M2D6 has mercilessly deconstructed the classic lo-fi garage soul sound of the iconic indy label, artfully rearrang- ing it all over a thick foundation of classic breaks, 808’s, and of course some heavy bass, allowing old heads to hear this music in a totally differ- ent way, while introducing a new generation of fans to a classic treasure trove of northwest creative history.
