NICK WIZ – “CELLAR SELECTIONS VOL. 1 2LP” [NSR2LP-001] LIMITED RELEASE!!
[Sealed / Sticker cover / 250 quantity mail order]

Peace vinyl collecting world! After the great success of our last EP, Godfather Don, we are back as promised to continue our series: Nick Wiz “Cellar Selections” Vol. 1 is here! By popular request we are finally putting on vinyl most of the tracks from Nick Wiz “Cellar Sounds” Vol. 1 2CD that have never been pressed up before. We are also including a couple bonus tracks from the forthcoming No Sleep Recordings 2CD, “Cellar Sounds” Vol. 2!
Nick Wiz has been a Hip-Hop mainstay since his teenage years. Having first impacted the early 90’s scene with his beat contributions to Ecko Unlimited’s “Underground Airplay” cassette series; Nick’s sound was a considerable part of the early Lyricist Lounge movement. This continued into working with Lounge alum, The Cella Dwellas, as well as the likes of Rakim, Chubb Rock, Mad Skillz, Channel Live and countless others. Producing in his own studio, appropriately named “The Cellar”, his sound was a unique fusion of filters, horns, smacking SP-1200 drums and dense bass-lines. With round the clock recording sessions, Nick’s studio was constantly flooded with both Hip-Hop’s elite talent and the best of the underground scene as well. While a lot of the material produced and recorded by him found its way to full-length CD releases, countless other tracks were unreleased; only heard on underground radio shows and rare demos.
This release focuses mostly on the mid-90s demos from the first 2CD, specifically the highly sought after Lyricist Lounge “Underground Airplay” tracks and the rare Stretch and Bobbito demos that have never been on vinyl. This release is the first of two Cellar Selections 2LPs, as the second will be released in early 2011 and will mostly feature tracks from “Cellar Sounds” Vol. 2 with a few leftovers from Vol. 1….
As with our last release, we have made some changes to improve on how we release these records. First, this is already in stock (and sounds great) and all packages will ship in bulk on Monday or Tuesday of the week of August 2nd. So there is no extended wait time after processing your payment. Also, we will be trying to reduce prices on these types of releases as much as possible going forward. This greatly depends on the deals we make with the artists, but this particular 2LP will retail for only $40 plus S&H. That’s right, for double wax!
Thanks for your support as always and stayed tuned for our next releases. Next up is some new unreleased D.I.T.C. flava for all those who have been asking. Keep supporting as we again intend to reward all the consistent customers/collectors (who buy directly from us) of the 2010 series ;-)
God Bless,
James “DL”

***INPORTANT*** Some shipping costs have CHANGED. Make sure you read the new prices clearly. Most prices have stayed the same but as I found out in my last mailing, the price of EMS has increased overseas. The initial price is higher, but the costs for additional records are lower. For those who order multiple records and pay with EMS, it should balance out. Airmail prices for Europe/UK have stayed the same, but USA Priority and EMS shipping have increased. Please look below to learn the new postage rates. We make nothing off of this btw…

**IMPORTANT** If you live in FRANCE, it is mandatory that you pay EMS (express mail service) for insured shipping with tracking. I know it sucks but I had a lot of French postal issues.
***IMPORTANT*** If you buy more then three copies, you MUST use EMS. That way we have insurance / tracking for an expensive package like that. Thanks.

For shipping without insurance or tracking provided, please add:

$8.00 - USA [USPS Priority Mail 2-3 days]
$8.00 - CANADA [Airmail Parcel Post 7-10 days]

Add $2.00 for each additional record if purchasing multiple copies.
EMS is FASTER then Airmail…If you need to be the first person to get one, PLEASE order with EMS. You also get tracking with this option.

Please verify carefully that your shipping address is 100% correct to avoid any shipping errors.

After your e-mail is received, I will send you a PayPal invoice with the proper total. When your payment is complete, your copies will be reserved and in queue to be shipped the week of August 2nd, 2010.

Track Info (by Nick Wiz)
The Cella Dwellas – “It’s Time” 1997 - One of the first tracks we recorded after "Realms and Reality". It was deleted because the bulk of the second album was recorded in 1999 and this track was considered old by the time we got a release date.
LSD – “Parkside Madness” 1994 - This was a crew from East Orange that was affiliated with Kay Gee (Naughty by Nature). They actually introduced me to the Miilkbone situation after I produced several tracks for them.
Shadowz In Da Dark – “Bright Lights” 1994 - This was actually co-produced by Monochrome (one of the group's emcees). This was for their demo.
Pudgee – “Get Down” 1995 - This joint was one of many tracks recorded during the "King Of New York" sessions, but did not make it on the album.
Shabaam Sahdeeq – “Can’t Be Ya Lover” 1994 - This was off of Shabaam's demo that he was shopping in 94/95. It appeared finally on one of the "Underground Airplay" cassettes.
Miilkbone feat. K-Banger – “Dirty Delaney” 1994 - K-Banger was another one of Miilkbone's artists that he brought around while we were working on his album. This track did not make the final cut for the LP.
Ran Reed – “Black Book Interlude” 1994 – This was a short freestyle done with Marc Ecko for the "Underground Airplay" series.
Ran Reed feat. The Cella Dwellas – “The Definition” 1997 - I was working on Ran's project and the Dwellas 2nd LP at the same time. Everyone was always around and this collabo naturally happened.
Nautilus – “Untitled” 1994 - This was a group from Jersey City that was under my production company. This is one of several joints we worked on.
Red Hot Lover Tone “4 My Peeps” Unreleased Remix 1994 - This was a remix that I submitted for the 12" release, but it was not chosen.
Chubb Rock – “Verse” 1996 - Chubb Rock came by the studio to pick up some beats to write to, heard the track and dropped an impromptu verse.
Shadowz In Da Dark – “Break Fool” 1992 – This was an track off of their earlier demo.
Chubb Rock, Ran Reed, The Cella Dwellas – Lyricist Lounge Freestyle 1995 - Another collaboration track done for Ran Reed's demo. We eventually gave it to Ecko Unlimited for one of the "Underground Airplay" cassettes.
Nautilus – “Contact” 1994 – Another track from their demo project I worked on.
Shabaam Sahdeeq w/ Black Sun (Shadowz In Da Dark) – “When The Shit Hits The Fan” 1995 - This was another track recorded for Shabaam's demo.
Darc Mind – “We In This” 1996 - This was an unreleased track that we worked on for Darc Mind's debut album on Loud. They were dropped before their project was ever released.
Shabaam Sahdeeq feat. Baybe - “Sexy” 1994 – While we were working on Shabaam's demo, Guru from Gang Starr brought Baybe down to the studio to work on her project. She jumped on the hook for this song and actually she also sang the hook for The Cella Dwellas single "Perfect Match".
Hitman (Ran Reed) – “Real Niggas” 1994 – This track was done for Ran’s early demo when he was still using the name Hitman. Eventually this made onto one of the “Underground Airplay” cassettes

dass Nick Wiz bald einen 2. Teil seiner unveröffentlichten Mid-90ies Tracks auf CD veröffentlichen wird :

DWG008: Phill Most Chill - 'All Cuts Recorded Raw'... finally!
This has been a long time coming but don't get too excited yet folks, we're not quite at the pre-order stage yet... as we've kept you all waiting so long for this we've put together a little teaser trailer to whet your appetites... we think it speaks for itself...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6kUDd1f ... r_embedded

There will be a collector bundle similar to the TDS Mob, pricing is TBC but you're looking at around £50-60 for the 'bundle' for those of you who may want to put some funds aside in advance... our guess is most forum users will want the bundle as there will be vinyl exclusives included...

The LP itself will also be available on its own for a more normal price of around £20-25, again exact price is TBC...

Enjoy the video, expect pre-orders to commence late May/early June...

O.C. (D.I.T.C.) – “OZONE ORIGINALS PART 2” EP [NSREP-004] LIMITED RELEASE!!
[Sealed / Sticker cover / 175 quantity mail order]

Peace vinyl collecting world! The wait is finally over!!! No Sleep Recordings wraps up its second series with our latest release from none other then the phenomenon O.C! As announced earlier, this is the companion record to our first “Ozone Originals” EP and like its predecessor; it does not disappoint the faithful! I want to thank everyone that has supported this series. We are at our fifth / final release in this series, and that means giveaway time to all those that have kept up…..Details below.

This EP is a mixed bag of unreleased joints spanning from pre-“Word…Life” to “Jewelz”. Again we managed to find some vintage bangers. With production handled by Buckwild, DJ Ogee, and Da Beatminerz, this is absolutely essential to anyone that has followed O.C.’s career. Not too much I can say about this; just straight up dope unreleased gems from one of the greatest lyricists ever, working with some of the best producers of the mid-90s. D.I.T.C. from this era never disappoints and it is again an honor to finally unearth these tracks. Enjoy. Song titles, creation / production details, and snippets are below.

As with our last four releases, we have made some changes to improve on how we release these records. First, this is already in stock (and sounds great) and all packages will ship in bulk on Tuesday or Wednesday of the week of May 9th, 2011. So there isn’t an extended wait time after processing your payment. Also, as you know, we are trying to reduce prices on these types of releases as much as possible going forward. This greatly depends on the deals we make with the artists, but this particular EP will retail for only $50 plus S&H. Even though this series is over, No Sleep is coming back very soon with some serious HEAT on vinyl. New announcements coming shortly….

The giveway. We will announce it next Monday the 2nd to all those who qualify. I am not expecting for there to be more then 75 to 100 of these shipped out, which will make it a VERY rare record. If you liked “Ozone Originals” 1 and 2, I am sure you will love it ;-) As the sale goes on, I will communicate with the customers that qualify as I invoice them. Like last time, the bonus records are EXACTLY commensurate to the number of copies of each title purchased (i.e. 2 copies each of all 5 records = 2 bonus records). This record is not for sale. You must have supported the full 5 records in this series (and purchased them directly from ME) to obtain a copy. If you are missing a title or two, hit me as I have a couple personal spares of one or two of these titles. But that is a handful at best, and will not help too many people. But if you are quick, I might have a chumpie for you! To everyone that kept up, THANK YOU. Thank you for believing in this series and being so positive throughout the journey. This bonus is something a lot of people asked me to get, so I think you will be well pleased with the reward! Stay tuned!

******The only difference between last time and this is that I cannot cover the additional postage (which is $2 each extra record in a package). When the records were $80, I was able to absorb the extra postage on the strength, but with the manufacturing and licensing prices of two records, I simply can’t afford it this time. I make nothing on the shipping, btw, but it is the only expense for the bonus records that you must cover. I am sure most of you understand, but I am still saying it up front so there is no confusion******

Best,

James “DL” / NSR
