Here's a link to the FLAC torrent.

320kbps mp3s are also available below.

This was a rare performance by Crescent Moon is in Big Trouble. Maybe their second this year? Maybe their sixth ever? You try not to miss these if at all possible but sometimes it happens. Well, if they had to listen to one in 2067 I'd like for it to be this one because the quality is sassy. The performance and the sonics are tops. The BBQ Chicken Po-Boy was delicious as usual. Look for their EP on emusic or other fine online stores and independent record shops.

Alright I went out to Philly for a week but I'm back and it's time to put this out. I decided to split this into two different torrents and offer the opening sets first. It also made sense to split it at the Kill the Vultures set but burn it in any order you want. The levels start out a little hot on Alissa's set but nothing that causes crazy distortion during playback. Big Quarters, Alissa Paris, Kill the Vultures, P.O.S., Big Zach, Mankwe Ndosi and Toki Wright all have official releases available to buy online now or in the near future. If you're into anything you hear on this recording please head to the appropriate pages and check into that. Many of these releases can be ordered directly from the artists themselves, fifthelementonline.com or itunes. Big Zach of Kanser hosted the evening.

Big Quarters and Mayda opened the Heiruspecs CD Release show. I've talked up BQ a lot in past torrent postings so I'll keep it short. Big Quarters is legit and if you're into it hit their webstore for a CD, shirt or a subscription to BQ Direct.

Thanks to First Avenue, Heiruspecs, Big Quarters and Mayda for allowing me to make these sick tapes.

Big Quarters is Brandon Allday and Medium Zach, two brothers from South Minneapolis.

Cost of Living is one of my favorite hip hop albums and this set was beyond solid. You can make some great recordings at the Turf Club. Abzorbr and Icerod opened.
