Musical Talent

My latest musical obsession is DJ Alibi. I learned about this gem from The One Nero, who by the way has the best blog ever! WWW.THEGOLDBRICK.NET for information on anything that is cool in music, video, or sports. He knows it all. I took this info from his site so I can’t take credit for the groundwork, but I am here to tell you that this album is the shizzle. you can grab it at….

Mikhail Galkin, aka DJ Alibi, was born outside of Moscow, Russia in 1986. He’s been steeped in music his whole life. At 4, Alibi picked up a violin, then a piano, a trumpet, a bass, a guitar, and others to follow. At the age of 12, Alibi’s family moved to Toronto, Canada where his love of music followed him. Within six months of living in his new hometown, Alibi had already made his first beat utilizing his newest instruments: turntables and samplers. In 2005, the talented 19-year old sent a disc to Thes One who immediately realized the talent in DJ Alibi’s production. The disc was filled with sophisticated arrangements that push musical boundaries and defy post hip-hop labeling. The now 21-year old shies away from the title prodigy, but the heads out there know that this is an accurate word to dscribe this producer.Vibe on his debut album, One Day, which offers the perfect balance of music theory and hip-hop intuition. Consisting of eleven purely-instrumental tracks and five tracks complimented by Giant Panda, Insight, Theo 3, and Alibi’s crew Bamboombox; One Day is a mixture of boom-bap rooted tunes and cleverly-worded rhymes unlike any hip-hop record to date.
