End of Summer Wrap-Up

So, you might be wondering what Pioneer has been up to lately.  Labor Day weekend is already here (the unofficial end of summer), but that doesn’t mean the end of anything else.  Things are definitely heating up.  Pioneer is working with DJ Jaymac (CEO of Silver Mic), Milwaukee-based producer Jonesboy, and other regional artists on a mixtape project.  Its purpose is to promote the talents of all involved.  Pioneer hopes to make 2 contributions to the album.

Here is the official MySpace page of the mixtape project:

Additionally, DJP has started work on his next solo album.  He has been crafting his own beats and lyrics when time permits.  Don’t expect to see it anytime soon – Pioneer is going to put all he has into it.  He promised “the beats will be original, and the lyrics will be much deeper and more intricate this time around.”  As always, thanks for sticking with us.  Stay tuned for more.

Beastie Boys in Philadelphia

Last night, we took the crew out to Philly to see the Beastie Boys, one of the greatest music groups in history.  Luckily, it was a pretty short drive from the studio.  They played a variety of songs from many of their albums.  Mix Master Mike kicked things off, and the Beastie Boys came out with their instruments.  They quickly got into some hip-hop songs and rocked the house.  They played a few songs from their new instrumental album, The Mix-Up, and Mix Master Mike looked kind of bored during them.  At one point, the crowd broke into an Eagles chant, which the Boys thought was pretty funny.  When MCA laughed about someone in the crowd holding their phone up during a song, I swear he was talking about us.  After they did “So What’cha Want,” they came back and did an encore with “Intergalactic,” “Heart Attack Man,” and “Sabotage.”  Overall, it was an awesome show, and we all had a great time!
