UNFILMOUS.

"Unfamous Mindframe" Official Music Video

Art and Direction by Christophe Roberts http://christopheroberts.com

Filming and Cinematography by Zubaer Khan http://zubaerkhan.com

Editing and erratic hand motions by Anacron

It's been far too long since I've delivered an official visual for you AnaManiacs. With several forthcoming music video productions halted in mid-production, I decided to take matters into my own hands. As they say, "if you want something done right, do it yourself."

On a recent trip to to the East Coast, my team made magic happen within a few free hours of a busy schedule. My NYC-based PNTGLLRYNTWRK crew members and good friends and I rallied an idea to create a visual for my latest collaboration with Daze and Diles; as it thoroughly identifies all of our artistic hustles. 

Christophe Roberts (aka Perv One) is a known visual artist and sculptor, who's work can be seen all over New York and in magazines. Zubaer Khan (aka DJZu) is a seasoned cinematographer & editor that's flexed his skill for everyone from Revolt TV to CBS, and has worked on a few of my previous projects. The Brazilian homie Mauricio Tadashi (aka ChiliBreakz), the owner of the Original US merchandising and accessories company, showed up for support and good vibes. If you're up on your Peanut Gallery crew history, then you should be familiar with all of these brothas.

The result of our combined efforts is a simple, yet masterful piece. Filmed on location in Brooklyn, NY; the imagery is reminiscent of the basic freshness of early 90's styling and visuals. After watching this PNTGLLRYNTWRK family production, you'll understand the lyric, "...new Peanut Gallery / So Golden Era."

Thanks for watching... Comment, share, and ENJOY.

SLIM.

This is Skin Diamond.
The shirt she's wearing says, "I DANCE WITH ANACRON."
The song is about how much I love slimmies.

I'm performing at a gamer's music+art event tonight in Los Angeles...
If only they knew it takes me a year to beat a game.

EFF SWAG.

Hey, you may have heard by now that I've got a new remix EP out.
If you haven't, it's time to wake up and smell the fresh.

The "Schwing Remix EP" features Oakland's Tajai of Souls of Mischief / Hieroglyphics, Chicago's Qwazaar of Typical Cats, Brooklyn's Illspokinn of Freestyle Mondays NYC, and St. Louis' Firewater Redstarr of Ridah Movement. This is a handful of some of the brightest and most stellar emcees that I admire and support to the fullest, so I know you'll enjoy hearing their vision and delivery of what "Schwing" means and why it's important to just BE YOU when you get dressed in the morning.

I produced both mixes. I played and programmed all the synthetic sounds you hear on the "Nationwide Unfamous" version; then, I played and arranged all the live instruments you hear on the "Dusty Viny Live Session" version. Sometimes I have to flex my musical talents like that, just as a reminder of what sets me apart from the every-day computer program producer. I'm not a beat-maker making music; I'm a musician making beats.

Plus, it's free... Don't hate.

FOR THE WIN.

 

Anacron's "Rich Girls" UNFAMOUS Remix Contest closes with a bang, and after tumultuous bumps, the winners have been chosen! After several days of deliberation, the contest judges (Tiffology, DJ Audio 1, Ryan Monk, Moonsatellite, and the PNTGLLRYNTWRK's own JusChris) have selected the following pieces as the outstanding best of just under 20 entries.

Anacron - Rich Girls (MAW Remix) by MAW. 18-year old Australian DJ/producer Matt Watkins can be found doing his thing on the decks at various clubs around Melbourne, when he's not making smooth, futuristic tracks like this. Follow and hear many more of his tunes HERE.

Anacron - Rich Girls (n8 the gr8-remix) by n8thegr8cuf. West coast underground veteran producer and lyricist N8 The Gr8 has been rocking for years as a member of the legendary bay-area outfit The CUF, and has recently moved into producing and releasing artists from his stable, N-Crowd. Check out more of his latest masterpieces HERE. 

Anacron-Rich Girls (Siggatunez RMX) by siggatunez|siggi tunezia. German producer Siggi Tunezia has released numerous house tracks via European label Houseworx, despite a deep history rooted in hip hop. Many of his heavily infectious beats can be heard HERE.

Be sure to check out the contest collaborators in the coming days for more favorites that didn't make the final cut, and upcoming interviews/content from contest winners: 

Crayon Beats | BandSoup | Culture King | Beezo

OUT THERE.

Anacron's debut underground single, "Out There"; written, produced, and recorded in 1993 then released and circulated on dub-quality underground tapes throughout the mid 1990's. Later pressed on short-run vinyl, this rare release has been re-mastered and paired with "Interstellar Phenomenon", Anacron's standout track from the original 1994 Peanut Gallery compilation cassette.

RICH GIRLS.

IT'S HERE! My new song & video, "Rich Girls"... Me on all instruments, programming, & vocals; covering one of my favorite bands, The Virgins. The digital download, paired with an eclectic hip hop track entitled "Schwing", will be available this Thursday via iTunes, Google Play, Bandcamp, & more.

If you like it, please SHARE it! If you hate it... "Awwwww, don't be like thaaaaat!"

An eclectic yet dance-ready cover of The Virgin's breakout hit; as produced, performed, and played by multi-faceted PNTGLLRYNTWRK member and founder, Anacron. The official music video, starring actress Minni Jo Mazzola (of NBC series, "Parks and Recreation", & internet webisode "The Homes"), is a playful romp between Anacron and an all-too-familiar "rich girl" stereotype; in which he questions her over-the-top princess persona.

Anacron's "Rich Girls" single will be made officially available for digital purchase and download via iTunes, Google Play, Bandcamp, and more on Thursday, August 23, 2012. The single also features an expressly eclectic hip-hop track entitled "Schwing", as well as instrumentals of both songs. More at http://AnacronMusic.com

I'll be bustin' loose on a DJ set with the Peanut Gallery homie DJ mTm at The Layover in Oakland, CA this Thursday, November 10! It's crazy that we keep tearing the place down the way we do, and if you're in the bay area and haven't yet experienced it, come through! It's definitely a jam from beginning to end when MTM and I get it craccin'... Funk, soul, house, breaks, disco, rare grooves, hip hop, and even a little bit of country!


...Okay, no country, but we get it going from every angle, nonetheless. 


I hope to see all my NorCal Bay Area homies out there with us this Thursday night! For detailed info and to RSVP on Facebook, click HERE.
