Istanbul Revisited

The latest from HennyVault. It's a classic type of roots & one drop riddim, based on the Istanbul riddim from 2005. This is total remake, no original samples used. HennyMan - Istanbul Revisited

Havanna 5-0

HennyMan strikes again! This is the theme from "Havanna 5-0" tv series concept that stars latin tempered undercover cops who are fighting against crime on the streets of Havanna and occasionally dreaming of surfing the big wave. It's a boogaloo & latin funk inspired piece with some old skools hip hop breakbeat. HAVANNA 5-0

Some Glad Morning

Another track from HennyMan. This one's titled Some Glad Morning and it's a midtempo R&B track. Having Drake and/or Kendrick Lamar to feat on this one would hurt no one.

Triangle Of Evil

I think that hating Nickelback is ok. But people often forget that there are at least two bands who should also be labeled as potentially hazardous to your ears.

1) Creed 2) Daughtry And here's a NB song to remind you. And because we rock Finland, we're not gonna start with Sunrise Avenue, although they don't stand too far from this crowd.

Artiphonists, anyone?

A weird but intriguing instrument. Supposedly made 80kUSD on Kickstarter in just six hours.

Shaded Rooms

Year 2015 brings the first tune from HennyMan in a while. This time a track that's a well bodied and a tasty coctail of softrock, disco & electro. It is somewhere in between of Eagles, Kraftwerk & Chromeo. With a clear schlager feel to it. This is the instrumental version with some additional melodies to spice it up. Vocal version should come later this year, let's hope Glenn Frey can find the time to drop by at the Staten Island Studios.

Enjoy,

Hennyman - Shaded Room

How Much Is TheFish?

Man, you gotsta love these EDEKA ads. Latest on featuring "that Scooter dude" And not to forget the classic Super Geil Ad

Reggae Line Hakaniemi

There is a story behind this (Romain loved Helsinki when he saw snow for the first time in his life), but still it's weird; scenes from Hakaniemi Metro station in a video mainly shot in JA. Just go to 0.22 to check it out... I guess Romain could not take anyone home with HSL-service.

Big up...80s dancehall

Reminder: not all surfers are cool

The skateboard guitar is off the hook, but that's how far it goes.

mini BMX

Not my cup of tea, but funny enough.

Ei Tippa Tapa...

Trap music from Turku, Finland. Quite loyal to the cliches of the genre, but the flow ain't bad.

F**k them trees

Some pretty decent designer drugs perhaps? I used to think tree hugging was a hippy thing, but I guess I was wrong.

Lorde, I'm Busy

Great warmup of this Lorde track by Busy Signal. Busy is always on the nose with recycling the right stuff.

Wayne Smith R.I.P.

http://www.clashmusic.com/news/wayne-smith-inventor-of-sleng-teng-riddim-has-died

GoT and other stuff on 6 strings

This is somewhere between off the hook nerdy, borderline annoying and ultra cool. This guy plays themes from Game Of Thrones, Skyrim and Pirates Of The Caribbean. Seriously? Pirates? Yar De Har Har?? But hats off to the guy, he knows his series & games & films and is pretty handy with the axe as well.

Smack My Party Up

All geeks know the Kim Dotcom story, the cool MegaUload support song that had the support of Snoop Dogg, Kanye West, Alicia Keys and likes. But I had never encountered Kim's own music until today. Wow. I like the vest he is wearing with led etc. lights attached. Seriously want to have one.

1-2-3 Bizarre Love Triangle Riddim Interaction

Tiana a real bad gyal !!!

EXIT STAGE LEFT

Michael Bay not quite finding the right words at CES 2014. Or any words at all. And freezes. And disappears. Hilarious. See the whole thing here

Ever Blessed

2014 starts with a reggae beat, but that's ok. Here is HennyMan's remix of Vybz Kartel's last year song "Ever Blessed". Enjoy, and free the gaza boss!

Three Kings

A nice remix here, not your typical dancehall sound.... And it's cool to hear Mavado teaming up with Vybz & Busy Signal.

Thank You 2013

And welcome 2014, the year of the Horse. I hope your Kwanzaas and Hanukkahs were more cheerful than this little brat's Xmas here. Stay tuned. Peace.

You should always go green

Hilarious. Fat Mike don't dig tobacco. Read the comments, really entertaining stuff here "Using bacci in your joint makes your bud go wayyy further" "Maybe Europeans and bums do. Roll a fatty or don't roll at all" "Not the true stoners. We go all green"

Paper, Scissors, Fire (and fire always wins)

HennyMan at it again. This time a lot of new synths here, big props to SynthMaster, which is a pretty cool plugin. I would describe this somewhere between punk house and electronic pop.

Going Home

Roots riddims were really popular around the 2002-2008 era. Lately there have been some good riddims every now and then. Well this one is a fresh one, maybe not the new "Truth and Rights" or "Police In Helicopter", but it'll nice up the dance fi real.

Support Black Superman

This was really sad news. The Black Superman who has already featured on our blog before was assaulted a couple days ago here in Helsinki. Apparently some inebriated young men had kicked him off his rope to show their masculine power of joint effort and the creativity of drunken mind.

Fortunately Superman did get too bruised and he was not left with permanet injuries. We the Kriton Posse would like to send him all the best and encourage you to give him a couple of euros next time you pass by his act. Let's all sing this song.

She Call Me The King Riddim

Although HennyMan is a true reggae head, he hasn't actully produced any reggae riddims. Until now. Here's She Call Me The King Riddim, a combination of one drop and dub with some hip hop flavoured drums. If you're a deejay/singjay/vocalist and find this interesting, holla back.

Boffkick Murphys

There is something seriously disturbing in this vid. I mean, Dropkick Murphys soundtrack to a boffing gettogether? LARPing thugs? But then again, there's something tempting here... Might just want to take a swing at them?

Smooth talker

Here's a brand new soundtrack for the weekend, HennyMan's Smooth Talker. This time some soulful vocals with a lot of keyboards and some four on the floor as well.

Bad Minton, a new track from Henny

Yes, new gear makes Henny active. Big up Ableton Live 9, here's brand new track called "Bad Minton". It hasn't been mastered or anything yet, and maybe we'll get some groovy vocals added later. Just wanted to share it as soon as I felt there was a good vibe to it.

Hennyman Comes Alive

Kriton members activate themselves 2013! Here's a fresh cut from Hennessy Studios, Hennymans dub-esque/Trap remix of Tuuttimörkö's Tee Mitä Lystäät. Enjoy!

And it's on Youtube....

Hey, Cinderella, go find yourself a fella, you're on the clock bitch and midnight is coming, you got the wrong man

I may be white from the outside, but I'm brown on the inside, TO THE BONE.

Bathing Bad

This cracked me up.

Wu Tang Gurlz

I'd be careful out on the field with these gurlz. They apparently are nothing to f*** with.

Well Hello Kitty

Gene Simmons is known to be a business man and also a business, man (like Jay Z would put it). But still this is a bit... awkward? Mr Simmons is now the executive producer for a new tv animation series with a working title "Kiss Hello Kitty". It is the latest brand extension from a series of Kiss x Hello Kitty products, which feature Hello Kitty wearing the trademark Kiss make up (uh-huh). This product line actually debuted already in 2010.

Ixnay on the Chronixxnay

So if 2012 was about Popcaan and Tommy Lee, I would predict Chronixx to be a safe bet for a 2013 talent in JA.

Don't sleep on Protoje!

Yeah, mon. I've always had a sweet spot for this kind of singjays with semi-conscious style mixed with a likkle of old skool patois verbalism. And looks like Protoje has actually invested some time and green for his videos, they're not just mobile cam shots from Kingston. This one's the fresher hit: But he's done good stuff for a couple years already, no wonder that he has also teamed up with Ky-Mani, this has a certain Marley-brotherhood vibe in it. Booyah, rasta!

Stan 2.0

Let see if our favourite new talent Kendrick Lamar can support Dido in her comeback. The rap verse is solid K-dot, but the song is more of a remake of Stan with Eminem from year 1999 or so. Read more and listen to the track 'Let us move on' here. And yeah, she still looks hot.

Zombie Love

There are a couple of TV series that keep me glued to the tv-set (or laptop) and one of them is the Walking Dead. A killer (!) first season, a semi-boring second one and now the third season really got me hooked.

But even more I was impressed by the the Walking Dead Game. This is mos def a daddy game, a one for the senior citizens, but in a good way. You don't go running around slashing zombies, it's more about living the story and making decisions that will alter the storyline.

Much more cool than the Star Wars Kinect that I bought last week. High expextations (I mean light sabers and Kinect, makings of ultimate fun) but serious fail. Disney-like storytelling and some wack gamemodes (dancing???) turned me off. Zombies rule.

I guess I was in Seattle a week too early. I mean, naked bikeriders, superstar costumes, bodypaintings and stuff. Sure beats the midsummer fiesta in Finland with mosquitos, drunk drivers and people drowning in the lakes and unpredictable weather conditions.

Vybz Kartel vs. Aidonia

What comes out of Detroit?

Cars and techno of course. These guys recorded some sounds from a Ford Fusion and made some tracks out of them.

Mustang Sally

Now it's time for some serious endorsement; Fender Mustang amps rock hard! This was the first modeling amp with built in effects that I have owned and I must admit I was really surpised how cool this little thing can be as your rehearse / home amp. This will give you many hours of instant fun from screetching metal sounds to foggy 60's tube amp emulations. Maybe not studio quality, but this one sends signal directly via USB, so you bet you'll hear this baby in the future Kriton releases. I used to be a true believer in tube only amps and still have my gigantic Laney stacks in the basement, but this is good fun and variation to that. Twang! Power Chord! Tapping! Riffs! Licks!

And we nuh bomb pon a fool like bees WHAT!

Vinyl Ads

Ok, kinda cool and leveraging the hype of vinyl, but really not that innovative. I remember as a kid subscribing to Guitar World & Guitar Player magazines and there were often vinyl singels as cut offs in the magazines.
