??!! 2080s
posted by on November 19 at 15:30 PM
So, beatboxing Idol Blake Lewis has invented his own musical genre, called “2080,” huh?
“It’s my new genre I made up,” the singer, who was heavily influenced by 1980s pop, proudly told MTV News during a recent interview. “I call it 2080, because it’s a mix of all the great pop music that’s inspired me.” Lewis claims the record is a blend of electronic elements fused with funk, soul, rock and pop — pretty much everything, kitchen sink included.
“I wanted to make a hip-hop mixtape or a great electronic mix — just one mix, start to finish, that takes you on a journey through metal, drum-and-bass with scratching on it to Michael Jackson pop into Erasure into Depeche Mode into some dub reggae. This album goes everywhere, and it was an amazing process to work on it. There’s a song on the record that’s [the Police’s] ‘Every Breath You Take’ meets [1984 film] ‘The NeverEnding Story.’ “
That’s funny. Where have I been hearing that for, like, the last eight months? Hmmm…
Am I even allowed to comment on this thread?
You already have, you hateful bitch. You already have.
It's supposed to look like a Star Trek poster, right? Or is that just me?
"...a journey through metal, drum-and-bass with scratching on it ... into some dub reggae."
i'm sure the american idol audience would be hip to an album already made by pendulum.
also, i don't know anything about this dude really outside of the slog... but doesn't he look like / give interviews like a slightly fatter though slightly less full of himself version of bt?
Total BT face. Next he'll be telling you what make and model of headphones you should use to listen to his new 2080 "journey" of an album...
thats some funny shit......dog shit
I thought he was describing Junior Senior. If so, he's right their shit is awesome.
lol @ Grandy and Ari, that's pretty damn funny.
Wow...he's created his own new genre. So he's got that goin' for him I guess.
Created his won genre I say...
ahem.
Wow.
s'ok, ari. i think we can agree on this one.
b-shorty, you thought no one would notice?
isn't 2080's actually a Soul Gorilla event 'featuring' scene and fourcolorzack?
No! Why aren't you paying attention?
It's a new genre of music conceived by sonic visionary, B-Shorty.
fucking Bothell, the suburbs aint good for shit!
The final word on that amazing cover comes from Radar: Audio Day Dream, Visual Partial-Birth Abortion.
Wow... I just heard about this.
2080s is the name of a 80's/ Mashup Remix CD I produced in 2006.
the link to download the CD has been available for over a year on my site:
www.dj-scene.com/2080s.zip
In March of 2007 I teamed up with DJ FourColorZack and Soul Gorilla to create the club night "2080s" every Wednesday at War Room. It showcases the same style and genre that is on the 2080s CD from 2006.
The 2080s myspace account was created March 2007 www.myspace.com/2080s
I grew up in Seattle and have lived here all my life. Blake Lewis is also from the Seattle area.
You make the call.
Hahaha! Scene, you and the War Room can be included on the thank-you liner notes. And as a special token of Blake Lewis' esteem, you can be printed next to the name of his Burning Man Tribe!

i blame bothell.
and why does his album cover look like those elementary school pictures we all took at one point, where they have your front profile and then your superimposed side profile from the side?
this guy must think he's pretty tight ripping my boys stuff. I mean i have been bumping the rad ass 2080's mix in my ride since December '06 ever since my good man DJ scene past it my way. i find it flat out embarrassing when wannabes try and pull this stuff.
SCENE HOLLA!!
