New track from Exile (of Blu & Exile). The beatsmith’s instrumental LP, due to drop on Jan. 20th 2009, is entitled Radio:

“A sampling experiment gone right, Radio quickly turned into a passion project for Exile - one that has already taken years in the making. Rarely one to take the expected path, Ex decided to flip the script a bit and instead of doing the typical instrumental album, challenged himself to only sampling sounds taken from his local L.A. radio waves to make his beats & statements with.”

At NYU, they’ve combined the power of 27 projectors to create a massive 120 feet long video display. It uses software called Spyder to combine them into the equivalent of six 16:9 displays.

I guess it looks really cool, but I’m still trying to figure out an actual purpose for having something like this, lol.

Exile is that dude… And actually, i think that beat battles should be done more ‘on-the-spot’ like this. None of that shit where you just have a line-up of beat makers who just play their beats on a CD in front of an audience. I always found those events to be somewhat… akward? Also doesn’t make for a very exciting spectacle for the crowd. Am i right or am i right?
