Listening to 'Introducin' for the first time in a few years. I really dug this album. I know he put out some odd valentines ep's or something afterward but is he at all active anymore? I know Paten Locke was touring with Edan so I assume that sluggish work ethic rubbed of on him but Willie been super MIA.



Also, is that Sputnik Brown album ever coming out officially? Is High Water Music still even functional?



I HAVE QUESTIONS!!!!

Great question, "Introducin" was heat….

he's doing some behind the scenes stuff...some production...he's busy, but just not on the fronts one would expect.

he posted this a month ago:

"Okay operation "get stuff done before another car hits me" is in effect. This week:

Get tailor made beat to PATEN LOCKE
Get tailor made beat to Mal Jones/Molecule
Get tailor made beat to MidaZ The Beast
before they conspire for my demise.

FINISH editing visuals for The VS Project with Mega Ran (before I get stabbed in the streets)

Instrumentals from previous projects for download in an upcoming thing."

Does he still plan to make albums?

sputnik brown is dead... unfortunately

>sputnik brown is dead... unfortunately



Literally dead?

nah...

but the group disbanded/splintered around 2009

all members still active but working separately under different monikers

oxygen who was the lead rapper of the sputs has been the most prolific working heavily with dj spinna and soundsci

edit: that brown underground WAS released officially but its not the high water album though there may be a couple joints from that...

and willie ev produced doumissme

heres a link to it

http://ox-the-architect.bandcamp.com/album/that-brown-underground-ep

I was referring to the album 'Three Shades of Black'. If memory serves, that dude who used to post here from Highwater was chastising a poster here for leaking the link (which I of course used) because the label planned to release the CD.


I only care because I'm a DJ Spinna superfan/completionist. Pause.

yeah... three shades of black is in permanent limbo.

its contractually obligated to high water and us sputnik brown cats kinda dropped the ball...

personal issues

Oh you're a member? Ah. You guys should sort out a release for it for the greater good.

It's mentioned in one of the other replies, but he was apparently involved in a car accident a while back, so that understandably sidelined him. He's got a few projects and deck, plus I believe he does the music for the "Errthing Show" podcast by Al Letson.

Dope. I'm very happy to hear you dug it and still bump it.

>I know he put out some odd

>anymore?

Yeah that was a beat tape we released on cassette. I thought it was pretty brilliant the way he told the story with the music.

>I know Paten Locke was touring with Edan so I assume
>that sluggish work ethic rubbed of on him


I wouldn't call it a sluggish work ethic. They're artists, when you create art you're sharing a part of yourself with the world and that's not an easy thing to do. All I care about is if the art presented is appealing and enjoyable to me.


>but Willie been
>super MIA.

He was in a car accident that sidelined him for quite a bit. We're extremely thankful and grateful that he's ok. The Love Circle was us giving the fans something to chew on 'til Beat Tape From Mars (BTFM) drops. Yes he'll be rhyming on this Beat Tape he found that seems to be from Mars.
