From humble origins in Detroit, raised on a healthy diet of Motown, Jazz, and Early Hip‐Hop – Terrel Wallace (aka Tall Black Guy) has been consistently building a massive online following through a steady stream of productions filled with incredibly clever sample flips and deft production chops ‐ being championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson (who included him on the latest Brownswood Bubblers 7... album), Lefto, Anthony Valadez, and countless others ‐ as well as recently being named the winner of the Robert Glasper Remix competition. With the tangible beginnings of worldwide recognition, Tall Black Guy has established himself to be one of the most influential producers from Chicago.
2011-2012 has seen TBG's first vinyl releases with bstrd boots, First Word Records and his own imprint Tall Black Guy Productions. Plus projects with artists like: 80s Babies, The Primeridian, Malice & Mario Sweet, DJ Vadim and The Electric, Maylee Todd, Temika Moore, Teri Tobin, Skyzoo, The Colman Brothers, Cilla K and Shev Rock.

GLIMMERING FRACTIONS | MIX 02:AMETHYST
“Breathtaking sparkles, glimmering fractions. What melodical madness causes such satisfaction?”
We’re back with our second monthly selection of rare melodical gems. February’s birthstone is Amethyst. For all you heavy drinkers, pay attention! This violet variety of quartz means ‘not intoxicated’ in Ancient Greek. People believed that the stone protects its owner from drunkenness. Hope you enjoy this one as well and spread some love if you do. Leave a nice comment, tell your friends or music peers about this mix.
