SCION CD SAMPLER V.27 – A NIGHT AT MADE TO PLAY AVAILABLE EXCLUSIVELY ON ITUNES AND BEATPORT BEGINNING 12/22/09.

NORTH AMERICAN SCION A/V CD RELEASE TOUR BEGINS DECEMBER 6th – FEATURING JESSE ROSE, IDIOTPROOF, OLIVER $, RIVA STARR, AND ZOMBIE DISCO SQUAD

Made to Play, the Berlin based club night and record label helmed by DJ/producer Jesse Rose is one of world’s leading house labels, and 2009 is their biggest year yet. Along with Scion, they have announced their Scion CD Sampler V.27 – A Night at Made to Play release, the latest installment in the series featuring label artists Zombie Disco Squad, Riva Starr, Idiotproof, and Oliver $, not to mention Jesse Rose himself. In addition to the CD sampler, this stable of highly in-demand DJ’s are heading on tour this December for a select run of dates throughout the US.

Continuing to blossom as a label, Made to Play is bringing the noise in 2009 with world tours and huge hits all in abundance. Head honcho Jesse Rose continues to be one of the most in-demand DJ’s on the planet with his massively successful artist album topping various charts, a recent Radio 1 Essential Mix under his belt, and a touring schedule that reads like an encyclopedia of the best clubs in the world

Encapsulating the essence of a Made to Play night, Jesse Rose’s coveted residency at the legendary Berlin club Panorama Bar, Scion CD Sampler V.27 – A Night at Made To Play showcases the skills of its artists and presents a snapshot of the production skills of the Made to Play artists. Each of the two tracks from the artists provides a different feel and reflects a different time of night at a Made to Play event. Like a good book the musical programming of a night needs a beginning, middle and an end and this album has been custom made to make cohesive sense in that way.

In its continual effort to show support for the arts, Scion covers all production, licensing and distribution costs for the A/V projects, and all proceeds go directly back to the label and artists.

Hangar 18 are Tim “Alaska” Baker and Ian “Windnbreeze” McMullin, two MCs who have been honing their skills on the mic for over a decade, along with ‘DJ paWL’. Coming up in the New York City scene, Alaska and Wind were mainstays of the “All That’ monthly open mic event that was hosted by legendary NYC radio personality Bobbito Garcia at the Nuyorican Poets Café. The group quickly became part of the Atoms Family, which consisted of Cannibal Ox, Cryptic One and Jest One Art and had a slew of releases through the late-nineties and into the 2000s. In 2004 the trio dropped their critically acclaimed debut album The Multi-Platinum Debut Album on Definitive Jux Records. The album received critical acclaim from both Spin and Playboy and led to the recording of the theme song for the VH1 show ‘Hip Hop Babylon’.

Now the group is readying for the release of their sophomore album, Sweep the Leg, which hits stores on October 23rd. The Hangar, as their fans affectionately call them, spent the lion’s share of the past three years on the road performing as many as 200 shows a year and sharing the stage with such artists as RJD2, One Be Lo, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Big Daddy Kane, Cobra Starship, Madina Lake, Zion I, Grouch, and Murs. Earlier this year they completed a U.S. and UK tour with Gym Class Heroes and most recently were main support on El-P’s U.S. tour.

Sweep the Leg finds the group paying homage to a certain phrase from Karate Kid. In fact, the group went through rigorous training of their own to prepare for the album. And all that hard work has paid off. MC Alaska was chosen to speak next to hip hop legend KRS One for the College Music Journal’s State of Hip Hop Address on Friday, October 19th at New York’s Kimmel Center: Eisner and Lubin Auditorium (3:45-5:15 PM). Later that night they’ll be sharing the stage with the rest of the Def Jux fam (and maybe some surprise guests?!) in at Brooklyn’s Music Hall of Williamsburg. And on Monday, October 22nd the group will kick off an album release party at New York’s Angels and Kings bar at 500 E. 11th street. The party kicks off at 8:30 PM when fans will be able to listen to the entire album the night before it hits stores. Hangar 18 will take the stage at 9:30 for a vicious bout of karaoke.

And fans not in the group’s home base of New York City can catch Hangar 18 as they hit the road for a nationwide tour. See below for full dates.
