Free tunes

This last Sunday Co.Lab Subdays was hosted on the Pan African Space Station, a month long Internet & satellite radio station. Hopefully the session will be posted on their podacast section soon, as it was a special one. The bteam played a nice down-tempo set and JacobSnake did some freestyling and singing and I played a super mellow set and had some people signing and freestyling over it. After which Hednod and JacobSnake teamed up for a more mellow version of what they've been doing on Subdays. But since we dont have a session to post for you I've decided to post up some of the tunes I've been making in the lab, some old, some new, comments and feedback always appreciated. Enjoy

Session 7

Greatings and salutations beat heads, here we have the recordings from our latest jam session, which I must say was hella fun. The cutmasta Hednod joined us for another session of crazy scratching and we were lucky enough to have Trinity pull thru with her trumpet, adding yet another layer to the sonic awesomeness. And lastly I Am Waves dropped an electro/dance rock set. Enjoy! Thanks to Audiophile for the pics (audiophile021.dickycolin.com)

Jam Session 5

I have no idea what happened to the 4th session, after digging around in the deep, dark depths of my machine and finding nothing I must conclude we failed to record on that day, oh well, here is session 5. You'll notice that we had Scarcream performing their unique brand of live dubstep, enjoy!

The jam session postings begin!

Hey all, so as promised here are the recordings of our jams sessions. These recordings are from session two since we had some technicals on the first set and have feedback running through the whole thing, but we may just post it up anyway, depending on how annoying the noise is.
The 1st set is some minimal stuff from the b-team:

The 2nd mix is our man JP rocking some cuts with some beatboxing and kaoss pad business going on underneath, from JacobSnake of the B-team.

The 3rd mix is some drunken dubstep from myself, Binary, so please excuse the shoddy mixing. If memory serves the man rhyming is Jimmy Flex of Ill Skillz.

And lastly is a mix of dubstep from our up-and-comer Murphey's Law.

We are Co.Lab

A Space in time.
A time in Cape Town where talent is oozing out of every city crack, and positive energy is being channeled into everyday life.
Co.Lab exists at Level 3, Pentagon Place, 62 Roeland Street and in the minds of all of us!
We are all Co.Lab by simply drawing, djing, producing, laughing, painting, designing, rapping, customizing, taking photos, beatboxing, talking, imagining and actualising.
Look for custom sound solutions, Visual creativity and leftfield conceptual design from our in-house production team.
The sky is the limit and constantly evolving in a very free, open and organic way.
Please feel free to all get as involved as possible and group together to bring all of our concepts, no matter how ambitious, to life!
Freedom, humility, happiness and strength in numbers.
