The Genesis Era

The old days that started Chrome Music and YUM YUM. More producer than consumer. Everything fresh.

Lady Sovereign “Human”

A bit late on this tune here. Somebody already played it last Friday. Had it on my ipod for soem time now, but somehow nobody thought it was worth mentioning it on the site. well i do. Like the way she used the Cures original to make this funky little offering. proper double time hip hop.

Miles away from Blumentopf: Sepalot

Our good friend and YUM YUM colleague Sepalot is by now miles away from the sounds he was making with his hip hop band Blumentopf. Check out his latest offering. Forgot to post it before i left for Thailand three weeks ago. A lot of people were caught off guard last Friday when they caught him and his band-colleague and YUM YUM founding member Schu playing the Top Frined Floor at the last YUM YUM night in Munich. I guess thats not what they expected but hey timesa re changing.. and if you ask me for the better. So i salute his latest offering and am curious to see where this change in mind and sound is leading. Good one, Sebastian.

Can you hear this?

Can you hear this? Hearing test

Here is a list of tones that go from 8Hz all the way up to 22,000Hz. It’s fairly common for people who are over 25 years of age to not be able to hear above 15Hz, so this will help you find out where your high frequency hearing cuts off.

Musicians have a much higher risk of hearing loss that most people do, and many of us don’t really wear proper hearing protection. Even just listening to an ipod for an extended period of time can permanently damage your hearing. We also gradually lose our high-frequency hearing as we age.

Take our unscientific hearing test: listen to each of these tones and let us know at where your hearing cuts out…”
