Hey this is Kaytranada at Amoeba
I'm here letting you know what's in my bag.
So first thing I'd like to talk about is this poster right here. 'Suspiria.'
I've seen this movie like not too long ago, for the first time. I always wanted to watch this.
But this version from the seventies actually blew me away, just the way everything looked
and all the costumes and all the makeup kind of looks funny as well.
But that's one of the movies that kind of like scared me a little bit.
But it was really beautifully done, to me.
It really became my favorite horror movie now.
And the soundtrack too, by Goblin, is like insane.
And I really love Goblin, the band
so that's why I'm going crazy over this one.
Got this DVD from A-Trak.
Oh hello, I didn't see you come in.
His biopic or his documentary. He's a hometown hero for many.
Many people of Montreal as well are looking up to this guy.
He was a worldwide-known DJ by the time he was like 14 years old.
Like killing shit at DJ competitions.
And then he became Kanye's DJ as well, in the beginning of his career.
And now he's still killing it, you know.
And it was somebody to look up to. It was like one of the first artists who gave me a cosign as well.
It's cool to find this here, 'cause I'm like, damn.
I've been looking for it since I was like 19 or 18.
This is Kanye.
Go out and buy A-Trak DVD, man.
That's a reason. 'Cause I'm Kanye.
So go buy his DVD.
This is 'Madvillainy,' The Remix Album.
For some reason, I like the remix album better than the original one.
I don't know, I feel like the beats are more Madlib style.
Y'know how Madlib does his projects. It's like unapologetically himself
Compared to the other one, which introduced us to the world of who Madlib and who Doom was.
But this one is like more personal, and it's just the same rhymes as well
but different takes as well.
I like 'Sermon' in there.
I like the 'Monkey Suit' version on this one, because it has a different drum break.
I like the whole thing. I like to listen front to back.
Oh yeah. Just took this.
It's like the collection of all of Prince's movies on blu-ray.
Wrecka stow.
Louder.
Wrecka stow. I give up.
What is it?
Wait, wait.
If you wanted to buy a Sam Cooke Abbie, where would you go?
The record store.
I haven't seen 'Under The Cherry Moon' and 'Graffiti Bridge' on there.
And it's cool, it's gonna be nice to see that on blu-ray at home.
So I'm definitely looking forward to watch that.
This Sade DVD right here.
I remember watching this when I was young, when I was into VHS.
And you know, it's just like a little image memory, a little nostalgic.
Like it really hit me when I found this one.
This record right here, by César Mariano.
I see this album cover everywhere and I know this song called 'Metrópole'
that is like actually amazing.
Looking forward to check it out and just listen to it.
This one is Sony Enang. This is from Ghana, Africa.
Especially this song called 'Where Were You' kind of like influenced me in a way, the way I make beats
and the way the groove is really going on the music, y'know, on this song.
So I kind of like emulate that, and kind of like put that in most of my joints, y'know.
I found that in the 'Doing It In Lagos' compilation.
Apparently they were doing like... kind of imitating what was hot in the early eighties, like the disco.
Like the top charts, even in Africa, it was like mostly R&B and boogie and disco.
So that's kind of like why this whole wave of African artists was doing the same thing
And it kind of sounds more raw and more, y'know, I guess organic.
So Osibisa. I'm not sure where they're from
but my dad is always like, you gotta check this record out, you gotta check this record out.
Osibisa, I'm telling you. And I'm like, right, right, ok.
Finally I found this record and I'm just gonna check it out.
So I got this Tuxedo 'Remixes.'
There's one remix of mine that's in there and I don't have a copy in my house.
It's one of my favorite remixes I ever did too
I'm actually singing on this one too, just for fun.
And the instrumental as well. One of my favorite beats I've ever done, so, yeah.
I have the Daft Punk 'Electroma.'
I never saw it in full.
I remember there's this clip of like them exploding or some shit.
Now I have it on DVD and the box looks crazy as hell.
Well, this right here.
Good follow-up to Daft Punk, y'know.
This album kinda put me on to like the whole electro y'know vibe
around 2007, you know, the late 2000s.
But this album kind of like blew my mind.
I remember being in high school, just picking this album up, just because of the cover.
And the song called 'D.A.N.C.E.' and the video was kind of like hard to look away.
Like even the intro, called 'Genesis' is like... it blows everybody's mind. Y'all decide.
And I never seen it on vinyl. So I'm happy I found this one.
I love me some Barry White, you know. The intro on this song, 'Standing in the Shadows of Love.'
It's just crazy how the song starts, it's like this crazy build-up.
And 'I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More Baby'
is like one of my favorite joints there.
'Digital Zandoli.' This is a sick, really sick compilation of like Caribbean music
like from Haiti, from Guadeloupe.
I was really looking for a lot of artists, in a sense, that were doing disco.
Mixing that with their Caribbean roots.
For awhile I was looking for it and I couldn't find it, and this compilation kind of sets its own.
This one called 'Poutchi,' that's one of my favorite joints right now.
And the last one. I don't know why I took this one, it's like French Wave 1979-85
Called 'BIPPP.' B-I-P-P-P.
I don't know how it's gonna sound like
but something about the new wave sound that really intrigues me.
The drum machines and, y'know the synths they're using are probably like the same similar synths.
And how off key they are when they sing as well.
But it really sounds dope.
That's awesome. Thank you so much.
Alright, no problem. Really glad to be here.
