Toronto based DJ Kaewonder, who is the co-founder of cratery and Live Convention connected with Philly based producer and record nerd Master Sihn. The two share a love of psychedelic library sounds and pulled off an interesting collaborative tape that is full of fuzz drenched basslines and bugged out chops of samples strung together as a densely packed double sided DJ break mix.
Physical copies of the mix along with shirts featuring original artwork by Nep Sidhu are available directly from Prime Time Records and Tapes, the label behind the release.
So, a few years back me and my mans Mastersihn would always kick it about library music and while discussing this often overlooked kind of sterile sound, we discovered some sessions that were absolutely unhinged:
fuzz-drenched basslines, heavy 4/4 boom bap drums, electronics going for broke, essentially pre-made hip hop.
He had made a comment after I played him a record saying “that sounds like a bad acid black tie affair” and the name stuck. When he was in town he brought a handful of records, I played a handful, and over the next couple years I kept toying around and started editing the sessions.
After a conversation with my day one Famous Lee, we realized that BABTA and Prime Time were a perfect fit for a release. - Kaewonder

The tote arrived with superb quality and was given as a graduation gift. It makes a perfect gift for an occasion like graduation, because it has a multitude of uses and it's durable quality makes it evident that a graduate entering their career can use the tote forever.
I treated myself to the Transit Pass waist pack just in time for holiday travel. Not only does the nubbed leather smell even better than the picture on the screen. It feels comfortable and as snug or loose as you want to set it around your waist. ID & passport - check. Boarding pass on mobile phone - check. Hard candy - check. And you don't look like you're having a fanny. I actually wear mine on the front, a little to the side. Just like the medieval lady of the castle wore her keys to the pantry and to the women's chambers...
Very nice high quality back with very well thought out design essential for any self respecting vinyl collector who shares their talent publicly.
This sturdy sidekick goes with me eveywhere and keeps everything organized and within hand's reach. Zipper pocket holds way more than I imagined. On an average day it's filled with my wallet, smokes, keys, glasses, usb sticks and other random items. The two pockets arw great for things you reach for often. Mine usually has a lighter and my cell. I usually wear it across my chest but it also works like a money belt (or hip sack) around your waste which I've done on some travel days when discretion is advised. Quality is bullet proof. Another T&B sure shot.
I just absolutely love the bag. They accommodate my need of a faster shipping, just in time to take my vinyls to a gig. If you read this you should buy a bag. You’ll not regret it.
