Press Releases
Def Mute Records is proud to announce the critical re-release of E Luv's 2nd studio album, "The Vicious Volume". This album is insane. Officially taking the name of The Egregious I, the Vicious Lyricist sought to leave Def Mute Records with the craziest album to ever come out of Buffalo Grove before he went off to college. Production-wise, DJ VoiceCrack pushed the limitations of their technology to create some surprisingly treacherous beatz (for the equipment he had to work with) in order to help pull this off. TMNT and Earl Solow were handpicked for features in what was set to become a decision with such incredible foresight that it had immensely positive ramifications for the next decade to come. People had to admire how the alpha version of The Mac-X Crew went about doing their thing by putting this type of album together with the mixing complexity it possessed in engineering - an album that also featured violent advocations as well as a harsh social commentary in what amounted to be a startlingly creative mix of its own for E Luv to be delivering at such a young age. The free album, The Egregious I: The Vicious Volume can be downloaded from the album's page. To view the details of other Def Mute Records albums, please also check out their discography.

The College Years EP was the end of an underground era. It was also the first (but hopefully not the last) time that all of these artists were together on the same album. This was the legendary EP that was way longer than any EP is supposed to be. This was the album that took the artists and groups of Buffalo Grove from local to regional status. This was the album where E Luv made rapping over video game beatz an art form. This was the album with rare gems from the Rap/Rock group EJ (pronounced edge) which went about that style from a more rap-centric perspective. This is the album where DJ VoiceCrack took a Dr. Dre beat and murdered it before giving the song one of the most memorable titles ever conceived. This was the album where the idea for The Mac-X Crew in its current incarnation was first tested out. This was the album that introduced Gutted Babies & Pretty Rainbows to the world. In short, this album was nothing short of being short on nothing. Here, presented officially for the first time in its raw entirety, is the album which was used as an excuse to keep friends close. Where were you when you first heard these jams? The free album, Tyrant Mutehead Presents: The College Years EP can be downloaded from the album's page.

Def Mute Records is proud to announce the release of DJ VoiceCrack's all new 6th studio album, "Music Inspired By From the Depths of Death in the Midst of Chaos". Here, the Keyboard Master demonstrates mastery of the BG Style he authored with a composition that is both dark and melodious - a serious effort that underscores (or overscores) the consequences espoused in the novel while treating the audience to a musical feast worthy of the supreme literary achievement by the same name. Melancholy platitudes douse the recordings with a splash of reverence that quiet any further doubt concerning whether or not DJ VoiceCrack and E Luv are still together on the same sheet of music with the Egregious I off writing novels and the Keyboard Master having released the third straight full-length album in a row for the label. The collaboration never stopped, and this continuing project affirms that as E Luv simply provides a different kind of word to yet another increasingly treacherous soundtrack courtesy of DJ VoiceCrack.

Say the title a few times fast and you will know what was being implied when this was named Overdue In It. That is exactly what DJ VoiceCrack has been doing in 2009. Releasing two full length albums basically carrying (yes we said it) the label while E Luv focuses on other projects; shattering the 200 track-produced mark; and all-around solidifying his place in the realm of composition/production mastery with creativity, individuality, longevity, and loyalty has earned the Keyboard Master the end of the year EP slot. That name also serves a separate meaning as well, as these tracks really are overdue in being released. The first three tracks, here, along with the track Title Shot from The Mac-X Crew: ILLegalities album were all originally meant to be a part of a four track EP entitled HTML. As history would have it, HTML was an individual from the east coast that thought he could go against the Mac-X Crew in one form or another - rap, basketball, fistplay, etc. But in the end, fellow Mac-X Crew member, Earl Solow, was credited with ending HTML's career, so ILLegalities was ultimately released in the form it exists today, and the three beatz here were no longer necessary - never released as tracks. The last two beatz were originally supposed to be used as remixes of two tracks of the same name from the album, E Luv: aXice of evILL. For Redemption (Radio Edit), the song contains a sample from the composition 'Escape from Rura Penthe' off of the Star Trek VI - The Undiscovered Country (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack), so it was decided that it was something best performed in private and never released. It also contains an interpolation of the legendary 'Who Wants Some O' Dis? (Lethal 4 Real, FTM 180 RemiX)' melody. If you have heard the original version of Redemption and know anything about the Who Wants Some O' Dis? tracks, then you know that this was meant to be a very serious remix.... Gangsta Grab RemiX, on the other hand, had a different beatz per minute than the original version, so although E Luv and GMNT and DJ VoiceCrack have managed to perform this in the studio, messing around, the finalized version was never cut let alone released. With so many other projects demanding attention, that happens from time-to-time with music. Each of these gems has a history, and the moment might be gone, but these beatz are surely not forgotten. No less treacherous, even DJ VoiceCrack's scraps that fall off of the table make the floors thump. The free EP, DJ VoiceCrack: Overdue In It can be downloaded from the album's page.

Def Mute Records is proud to announce the official release of DJ VoiceCrack's all new 5th studio album, "Music Inspired By SpaceStation Colt: Damnitio Exeum". Every great masterpiece deserves a soundtrack, and the novel, SpaceStation Colt: Damnitio Exeum, is no different. In scoring a literary book, the Keyboard Master took extra care to create a legendary installment of instrumentals that makes the walls tap harder than ever before. From start to finish, the album's ambience is of a dense mixture featuring expert orchestral overtones, driving metal riffs, and devastating bass. The complexity in production underscores SpaceStation Colt: Damnitio Exeum's centralized theme of cautious optimism which lays the foundation for a much darker continuation. In blistering fashion, DJ VoiceCrack adds a vital component to the lore that is the SpaceStation Colt saga but is quick to remind us that these tracks can and do stand on their own as an auditory epic of originality and foresight. The hit, new singles, "The Exit Interview" and "Killin' Music", can be downloaded from the album's page. The actual album, "DJ VoiceCrack: Music Inspired By SpaceStation Colt: Damnitio Exeum" is also available for purchase.

Def Mute Records is proud to announce the official release of DJ VoiceCrack's all new 4th studio album, "A Beat is Worth a Thousand Words". In need of some Summer Bump? Well, this 18 track instrumental epic is definitely Trunk-Certified. Even more than that, you do not have to turn it down when driving down the subdivision and you see little kids as there are no lyrics - only the Keyboard Master and his treacherous assortment of beatz. Versatility by design is what makes this CD really work. There is literally something for everybody, so whether you are writing, freestyling, or chilling - this album will do it. Whether enjoying an open ride on the highway, creeping down the block, or stuck in Rush Hour traffic - this album will do it. Releasing high quality music that would normally be the backdrop to somebody's album for the public's enjoyment - this album did it. As a special commemoration, with this album, DJ VoiceCrack officially goes over the 200+ tracks-produced mark. It is quite an accomplishment in this day and age for a person to have so much vision, but interestingly enough, that is also to be expected from a composer of his stature. The hit, new singles, "VoiceCrack Still Kills" and "Chillin' NDP", can be downloaded from the album's page.

Def Mute Records is proud to announce the release of ISD's 4th studio album, "ISD (Self-Titled)". The lost effort has finally been found and released! ISD is back with his most personable recording yet. Each track seems to represent a different period in ISD's life as the music continues to be an ever-emerging kaleidoscope of introspection. The songs are crisp, and there is no lack of the patented ISD influence which drives this EP to become yet another dark classic. This creative phase may be under a new name, but it is still the same great caliber of style the growing discography demands. The hit, new single, "SF", can be downloaded from the album's page. The actual album, "ISD: ISD (Self-Titled)" is also available for purchase. To view the details of other ISD albums, please also check out his personal page.

Seriously, you had to know this song was coming.... Party Unity My As- (2008) - Performed By: E Luv 01 - Party Unity My As- (Tactics Album Remix) - This is the mix that should appear on the upcoming "E Luv: Tactics" album. 02 - Party Unity My As- (Instrumental) - Track hits hard, doesn't it? :) 03 - Party Unity My As- (Original) - DJ VoiceCrack composed this somber beat around June 7th, 2008. 04 - Party Unity My As- (Sweetie Version) - Here is the instrumental version of the Original. Composed By: DJ VoiceCrack Executive Producer: E Luv Party Unity My As- (DJ VoiceCrack, GMNT, Earl Solow, E Luv) Verse 1 - E Luv I'm blogged out - surfin' for the truth across the Internet Gotta bring these political raps outta retirement Aimin' at the hypocrites who need their facts checked When bush was selected not elected, I started payin' attention Think I can't see, ain't no foolin' me, ain't no stealin' from me Then bringin' out the false guise of unity - you must be crazy This is the theme song and every good movement needs one We're takin' this to the Internet, the convention, and beyond Close your eyes, see if you can visualize this candidacy Won over 300 electoral votes worth of states convincingly Brings deep red and purple swing states legitimately Carries Women, Senior, Latino, and the Working Class consistently Finished with the popular vote lead undisputedly (DJ VoiceCrack: Most votes ever) And did all this despite calls to give up from one's own party Equal pay for equal work - shi-, quite the contrary So where's the democrat nomination for presidency? Elect the candidate of the people - for those most in need Whose supporters couldn't contribute a whole lot, if any, money Realize I can certainly do without some high-priced coffee I don't need a feeling, we need a president, it's not about me Look at the classmates and New York Farmers traveling on behalf Kids selling toys/Make-A-Wish reunions - come on, do the math Women's suffrage survivors' hopes of casting that symbolic vote Why select the candidate of terrorists, radicals, and rezko...? Hook - E Luv, GMNT, and Earl Solow ...Party Unity My As- - 18 million plus spoke There can be no hope until you count my motherfu--in' vote Those with the pulpit stayed deafeningly silent In the face of sexist disrespect - new politics/same bullshi- ...Party Unity My As- - a spade is a spade Another stolen election - tell me what the fu-- has changed Embarrassment? Harassment? - Not somethin' I can believe in There can be no unity without fairness, because unity equals enablement Verse 2 - E Luv Constituents can't even explain their candidate's platform It's ironic that the dems are now running for bush's third term Sayin' a whole lot of nothin', and I don't have time for it I won't stand for it - discount experience in favor of a puppet Who flip-flops and changes stances in the heat of the moment For the fu-- of it, to pander and won't think nothin' of it To say and do whatever's most politically expedient I guess the ends must really justify the means in this election Who's pulling the strings or better yet, driving the bus? Need two with all the people under here, one's startin' to fill up This must be the inclusion - that ability to cross party lines After years of neo-con rule, you now fall for liberal lies Public financing, Iran, NAFTA, FISA, gun control (GMNT & Earl Solow: <Flip-flop chant>) Can't tell where you stand/not worthy of my vote in the Fall Don't have to be Patrick Fitzgerald to connect the dots But the news long since stopped doing it's job, so I roll with the blogs Your candidate praises the man who kicked off a campaign from the site Of Mississippi Burning with the audacity to claim states' rights Yet shi-s on an administration that balanced budgets Plus helped the world well before and way after the office of President A record of tangible legislative accomplishment is important All I hear is words, just words - and most of those are stolen ...This isn't politics, it's personal PUMA's have been left with no choice but to Just Say No Deal Hook - E Luv, GMNT, and Earl Solow ...Party Unity My As- - 18 million plus spoke There can be no hope until you count my motherfu--in' vote Those with the pulpit stayed deafeningly silent In the face of sexist disrespect - new politics/same bullshi- ...Party Unity My As- - a spade is a spade Another stolen election - tell me what the fu-- has changed Embarrassment? Harassment? - Not somethin' I can believe in There can be no unity without fairness, because unity equals enablement Verse 3 - E Luv ....Verse 3 - always vote for the person, fu-- the party Because a party that treats one of its own this badly Isn't worthy of blind loyalty - I'm sorry, ain't no herdin' me With shepherds who are nothing more than wolves in sheep's clothing Now I'm flowing, unloading - trying to regain some sense of sanity From a theory of conspiracy which involves the dnc moving It's madness, I've been a witness - unwilling participant in this shi- Unprecedented, I'm beefin' with this new type of democrat In what context do the words "stripped votes" ever make sense? When millions of people didn't even have anything to do with it Never thought dems would do this after the 2000 election Yet we all witnessed the debacle decision for Florida and Michigan Citing the weak "if they would have voted" precedent (DJ VoiceCrack: Fair reflection) Coupled with a laughable compromise that included stolen delegates While lecturing about rules, please close your mouths 100% penalty broke the rules too, so they net each other out How dare you claim no other party shares my values and faith? When you railed against and trashed my ideals in the first fu--in' place If the only thing that ties you to a party is an issue or two Then you'll always be a hostage, but I'm far from a fool Unity for the sake of a party means absolutely nothing And of those who can do no wrong, one must always be leery Willing to achieve power at any cost and coffers flush with cash Am I actively working to unseat all involved? You bet your as-!
