Winehack

Hi All! Long time, no see :-)

I have recently been part of launching a new wine import webshop over at winehack.dk

Everyone has the right to quality wine at a good price.


 We pick up the bottles directly at vineyards around the world. Therefore, there are no expensive intermediaries. Or subscriptions. We are constantly presenting new wines and themes that we have laid the soul of finding and which we believe represent amazing value for money. And you can not get in the supermarket. We place the order with the wine bank and then you get the wine at cost but pay freight, temporary storage, VAT and taxes.

We place $ 15 on each bottle, which is our earnings. And you will pick up the wine after returning to a business center in Copenhagen. You can also choose to have the wine brought out in Greater Copenhagen. You can find our current selection and can order and pay here on the payment card or bank transfer page. You buy whole boxes with 6 bottles.

  Learn more & sign up to our newsletter.

 Have a look :-) 
 Cheers, Martin

Results from Danish Hip Hop Awards 2006 (in Danish)

Hey - her er resultaterne fra Dansk Hip Hop Pris, afholdt d. 7. april 2006 på Vega.

Årets Danske Album

Nominerede:
L.O.C: ”Cassiopeia”
Track72: “Rockin´”
Static & NatIll: “Teamwork”
Trools & Orgi-E: “Forklædt som voksen”
Per V: “Vers 1.0”

Vinder:
Track72: “Rockin´”


’Rockin’ præsterer at skue tilbage – til dengang hip hop og Track begge var unge, men også at se frem og komme med sit bud på hvordan klaveret skal spille fremover. Både numrene med gæsterappere og instrumentalerne er af høj, international standart, men stinker stadig langt væk af hr Tue Track 72.


Årets Danske Liveact

Nominerede:
Per V
Static & NatIll
L.O.C
USO
Trools & Orgi-E

Vinder:
Static & Nat ill


Tight. Altid tight. 1 MC & 1 DJ er alt hvad du behøver når bare gruppen hedder Static & NatiLL. Både herhjemme og udenlands er duoen topambassadører for boom bap-hip hop. Selvom debutten ‘Teamwork’ præsterede at få energien ned på vinyl, SKAL drengene opleves live.


Årets Danske Producer

Nominerede:
Track72: “Rockin´”
Static: “Teamwork”
DJ Noize: “ODB tribute”
Es: “Gadehiphop”
Trools & Rune Rask: L.O.C, USO, Jeppe Rapp

Vinder:
Track72: “Rockin´”


Track 72s musik hænger ved, men han hviler ikke på laurbærerne. Hans numre er sprængfyldte af energi, og er hele tiden ved at bryde deres egne rammer. Detaljerne i hans produktioner er ikke til at overskue, kun til at læne sig tilbage og nyde.


Årets Danske Klub

Nominerede:
Hip Hop Kontoret
Midweek Brakes
Fabriken

Vinder:
Mid Week Brakes


Onsdagsklubben er et symbol på at vi vil festen frem for utrygheden, hverdagen frem for weekenden, det alternative frem for det sikre, det åbne frem for det indspiste. Vi kan opleve modgang, men sammen kommer vi stærkere ud på den anden side. Og så holder en onsdagsklub og dem der besøger den bare 100%!


Årets Danske Arrangement

Nominerede:
Primo Ent.: ”Langelands Rap Fight”
Primo Ent.: ”Pulejam”
Århus Took It
GAM3 finals
FloorWarz

Vinder:
Århus Took It


Nordens største hip hop begivenhed er en oplevelse for alle. Opskriften er den samme, men ingredienserne er friske hvert år. Hvert år samles optrædende, publikum og arrangører og dyrker vores kultur på tværs af dens mange skel: fra gammelt til nyt, fra Per til Cle, fra velkendt til fremmed, fra N.Y. til Houston... Fra Kong Winther til os alle!


Årets Danske DJ

Nominerede:
DJ Cars10
DJ Static
DJ Knud
DJ Direct
Den Sorte Skole

Vinder:
Den Sorte Skole


Der er nye, store boller på suppen. Bare lyt til Den Sorte Skole-pladen. Den danske DJ kultur er traditionsfyldt, men Den Sorte Skole har turdet at rocke ved fundamentet. Deres sets er nytænkende, vidtgribende og respektløst. Her mixes Axl med Rakim som det mest naturlige, for lyder det godt kan det spinnes.


Årets Danske Artist

Nominerede:
Jokeren
L.O.C
Per V
Track72
Static & NatIll

Vinder:
L.O.C


Den 100 kilos banger L.O.C. har måsle tabt sig, droppet sprutten, men nogen spejder er han nu stadigvæk ikke. Med ’Cassiopeia’ viste han at han stadigvæk har ’det’ der gør ham til den danske rapgud! L.O.C. sigter dog ikke efter laveste fællesnævner, flertallet elsker bare det han laver.


Årets Danske Hit - publikumsafstemning

Nominerede:
Ataf: ”Sommerfugl”
Per V: ”Black Power”
Uso: “Ikk´Å´”
L.O.C: ”Frk. Escobar”
Bikstok Røgsystem: “Cigar”
Trools & Orgi-E: “Inden det for sent”
Jokeren: ”Rastløs”
Mortito: ”Alt Det”

Vinder:
LOC ”Frk. Escobar”



Årets Danske Move
Vinder: Outlandish for alko/røgfrie koncerter


Outlandish er mere end musik. De er unge mænd med engagement og holdninger som de står ved. Bevidst om deres rolle som forbilleder for ungdommen har gruppen markeret sig i meget mere end musikken.Deres incitament til at åbne dørene for et nyt publikum gennem afholdelse af røg- og alkoholfri koncerter er modent, formidlende og samlende. Respekt!


Årets Udenlandske Album

Nominerede:
Timbuktu: ”Alle vill til himmelen men ingen vill dö”
Common: ”Be”
The Game: ”The Documentary”
Snoop Dogg: “R&G”
Three 6 Mafia: “Most known unknown”
Kanye West: “Late Registration”
Sean Price: “Monkey barz”
Dangerdoom: “The mouse and the mask”

Vinder:
Common: “Be”


Common har været vidt omkring på sine hidtidige udgivelser, men på sit seneste udspil ’Be’ er han taget hjem og har fået fellow Chi-town recident Kaney West til at producere. Ikke dumt, for ’Be’ er voksen, reflekterende og vellydende. Beats og rim går op i en højere enhed, og man glæders over at Common atter har fået kærligheden til ’H.E.R.’ tilbage


Årets Udenlandske Artist

Nominerede:
Kanye West
Timbuktu
Common
Paul Wall
Juelz Santana

Vinder:
Kanye West


Nogen kalder ham krukket, andre giver den op for hans kompromisløshed – men alle har en holdning til Kanye West. Han er den trueste b-boy, der altid vil claime at han er nummer et og sidste års ’Late Registration’, hans samarbejde med alle fra Common, Adam Levine, John Legend, Rhymefest, Lupe Fiasco til Jay Z taler for sig selv. West skriver og producerer døgnet rundt, men havde stadig overskud til at sætte sit aftryk på debatten i hans hjemland.


Årets Ærespris

Vinder:
Ken ”The Duke” Larsen


’From Denmark, without headphones...’ I dag er hovedbøffer et sjældent syn bag 1210’erne. Ikke kun danske DJs, nej alle skylder ’The Duke’ en tak for hans bidrag til turntabelismen. Hans nytænkning har virket som inspiration for de senere generationer af DJs. Hvor andre nævnes for deres diplomatiske arbejde for hip hop kulturen, skal ’The Duke’ hædres for hans interne udvikling og påvirkning.


Årets Danske Musikvideo

Nominerede:
Trools & Orgi-E: “Inden det for sent”
Clemens “Flammende Oprør”
Static & NatIll: “Get up, get out”
Per V: “Black Power”
L.O.C: “Frk. Escobar”
Uso: “Ikk´Å´”

Vinder:
Trools & Orgi-E: “Inden det for sent”


Forsøget på at sætte billeder på den mere velafbalancerede side af Tabu-lejren, Troo.L.S. & Orgi-Es “Inden det for sent” lykkedes fuldt ud, da videoen både spiller på & forstærker de følelser nummeret vækker i seeren. Den franske location gør at videoen både virker eksotisk, men stadigvæk uhyggelig velkendt for den ungdom som den både beskriver og henvender sig til.


Årets Danske Undergrundsnavn

Nominerede:
J-Spliff
Pede B
Nemo
Jeppe Rapp
Patrick B

Vinder:
Pede B


Ikke blot udsendte Pede B sin debut ‘Et Barn Af Tiderne’ på hans crew s independent selskab Beskidt Lyd Recs, men med sin sejr sørgede han også for at 2005 skulle blive første gang en Sjællænder rendte med sejren i Fight Night. Begge dele har været med til at sikre ham masser af spillejobs, hans personlighed har gjort dem succesrige.


Årets Danser: - uddelt af special jury
Vinder: Jens Lyn


Årets Grafittiartist: - uddelt af specialjury
Vinder: Soten


Peace & tillykke!

Houston Boiler
Devin the Dude, Blues Traveler
BY LARRY MIZELL JR.

Article courtesy of The Stranger

It would be easy to dismiss the music of Devin "the Dude" Copeland as simply paeans to weed, women, and wine—if you weren't really listening. The Dude is a bluesman and a storyteller, owing as much of his persona to Wilson Pickett and Bobby Womack as to Run-D.M.C. and Rakim. Seemingly unaffected by hiphop trends since his cult-classic '98 debut, The Dude, Devin has continued to make music that is soulful, sincere, and self-aware. With Houston now being the newest "it" city for rap music, it's about goddamn time the Dude got his due.

Devin's half-sung raps flow molasses-thick with an effortlessness that very few in hiphop's pantheon possess; it's easy to forget he's seamlessly rhyming his bars ("I'm higher/than a thumbtack on a flier/of Reba McEntire in the hood/it's all good") and not just talking to you, saying some outlandish shit in the middle of a late-night blunt session. Indeed, it's easy to overlook the fact that Devin's one of the South's premier MCs. With an earnestness and compassion to rival Scarface's, Devin possesses a party-guy veneer that belies an insight and sensitivity to which few can lay claim. Devin's hapless narrator is, by song's end, often left broke, friendless, loveless and—worst of all—without any weed; his most hedonistic parables invariably contain precious pearls of wisdom.

"All you gots to do is—write!
Share your problems with the world, tell the story of your life..."


Born in St. Petersburg, Florida, Devin relocated to Texas when he was in the fourth grade. Even while bouncing between Houston and the border town New Boston, Texas, Devin managed to join a b-boy crew called 3-D. Sometime in the late '80s, after settling in H-Town for good, Devin met MC/producer Rob Quest (AKA Blind Rob), who was part of a local clique known as the Coughee Brothas. ("Coughee" is a euphemism for marijuana.) Devin, alongside Quest and longtime friend Jugg Mugg, formed a new crew called the Odd Squad. The crew's original DJ, the storied DJ Screw, passed their demo to James "Prince" Smith, the CEO of the legendary Houston rap label Rap-A-Lot Records. Prince immediately snapped up the talented group, eventually releasing their Fadanuf fa Erybody LP in 1994.

While a critical success, Fadanuf failed to generate major sales. H-Town godfather Scarface, who helped build Rap-A-Lot (and gangsta rap in general) as one of the Geto Boys, handpicked Devin to be a part of his group Facemob; the lone Facemob LP, The Other Side of the Law, dropped in 1996, and was quickly followed by the squad's dissolution. With the guidance of 'Face and James Prince, Devin then began working on solo material. Taking a cue from a favorite song as a child (Quincy Jones's "The Dude"), Devin's album title—and, eventually, his moniker—was decided.

Rap-A-Lot's best in-house purveyors of Southern-fried production—Tone Capone, NO Joe, and Domo—provided a slow-rolling afterparty funk that positively dripped fish grease. Devin's genius for raunchy humor and matter-of-fact insights (inspired in part by childhood hero Blowfly) into matters mundane and meaningful made the album essential, particularly among his fellow weed smokers.

The Dude's game-dripping verse on "Fuck You," off Dr. Dre's hugely successful 2001 album sent his stock through the roof and caused speculation that Devin would sign with Aftermath. However, Devin remained loyal to the label that put him on, and dropped two more well-regarded LPs on Rap-A-Lot, Just Tryin' ta Live (2002) and To tha X-Treme (2004). Cameo spots on albums for artists ranging from Dilated Peoples and De La Soul to Twista and E-40 have kept Devin's name hot with his scene-stealing verses and hooks.

The fact that Devin translates naturally in whatever setting he finds himself in is testimony to his enduring character... It turns out that he's the man for his time and place. Like so many others, the Dude has accrued platinum respect over his career, yet he's never achieved the corresponding plaques. That's largely because he's never compromised himself for sales, as all around him, new-jacks mumble about candy paint and sippin' syrup ad nauseam. No matter, friend: The Dude abides.

Gnarls Barkley

"The highly anticipated collaboration from Danger Mouse and Cee-Lo (album due May 1st 2006)... The early word on Gnarls Barkley has been bubbling in the last few weeks in the UK, with the leak of the song "Crazy". Not yet even a white label, the song is being championed by Radio One"s Pete Tong, Zane Lowe and Jo Wiley. BBC has called it "the hottest song of 2006" and Arena magazine announced they are "sure the biggest single in the first half of this year will be "Crazy"..."
