Weezy AKA Squreweezy AKA Squareone is no novice on the SP 404 or MPC and, his group, legendary South Bay area turntablists, The Bangerz, have been mainstays in the scene for decades\u2013 evidenced by apt track titles like \u201c3AM in Milpitas.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Bangerz are also a huge part of the success of the renowned Jabbawockeez, one of the most world recognized b-boy crews of all time, for whom the Bangerz produced original music that soundtracks their celebrated choreography. They\u2019ve been in cahoots for some time and original Bangerz tracks are currently on full display for the Jabbawockeez\u2019s hugely successful Vegas live show. Tracks like \u201cMy Urzi Weighs A Ton\u201d is not only a play off of a revered Chuck D lyric, but also contains ebbs and flows that are ideal for any dance crew, let alone the Jabbawockeez.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-14881\" src=\"http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-200x133.jpg 200w, http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-400x267.jpg 400w, http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-600x400.jpg 600w, http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-800x534.jpg 800w, http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize-1200x800.jpg 1200w, http:\/\/needletothegroove.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/SquareWeezyFullSet-54_websize.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Weezy has also performed on some of the world\u2019s biggest stages, notably New Orleans\u2019 Voodoo Festival as well as opening for pioneers like The Invisbl Skratch Piklz who paved the path Weezy now luxuriates in. In addition, Tokimonsta, Death Grips, and RJD2 are among other artists whom Weezy has shared stages with or opened up for. In line with his acumen for soundscapes and beat production, as well as his affinity for greats like Flying Lotus and D-Styles, he also played an unforgettable set at LA\u2019s celebrated Low End Theory before they closed their doors in 2018.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">86 Mongoose<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> was created between January and March of 2021 and is a personal audio art project inspired by Weezy tracing sideshow skid marks in a nearby parking lot with his vintage Mongoose BMX while listening to Kanye\u2019s album <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yeezus<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Cuts like \u201cRockets\u201d and \u201c4th Chakra\u201d are anchored by knocking drums, swirling samples, and at times sparse moments that swell into fantastical bombast (see: \u201cSquare One\u201d). According to Weezy himself, \u201cThe 20 minute audio journey is meant to capture the energy, freedom, gratitude, and centeredness felt during these meditative bike rides.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>All song produced by Weezmatic<br \/>\nMixed and Mastered by Rey Res<br \/>\nArtwork by Res Res<br \/>\nShirt Design by Cutso<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/weezmatic.bandcamp.com\/album\/86-mongoose\">ORDER THE TAPE OR BUNDLE HERE<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Weezy &#8211; 86 Mongoose\u00a0100 Limited Cassette &amp; Bundle Box Sets.\u00a0 Limited to 100 cassettes NTTG is proud to offer 86 Mongoose by producer, beatmaker, &amp; DJ &#8211; Weezmatic.
