It’s well known among Hip Hop heads that Just Blaze’s sneaker collection is legendary. Stadiumred would like to congratulate him on the addition of his own sneaker that was released to the public on January 7th. This was just in time for his birthday and the celebrations were plentiful.

Following in the footsteps of Kanye West, ?uestlove and DJ Clark Kent, Just Blaze has linked up with skate shoe company Supra to release a custom colorway of their Skytop II model. The model features a reflective silver 3M upper with purple leather accents.Only 413 pairs of Just Blaze’s custom kicks were to the public through a select number of boutique outlets across the globe. Normally this is the part where we would put a link to tell you where to buy the shoes but they sold out on the first day!

Just in time to wrap up an epic year, on December 29th, Stadiumred recording artists Jeremy Carr ended a week-long visit to Denmark with a surprise performance at The Globus Radio Christmas Party at The Gram Fritidscenter.

Jeremy and Danish Super-Producer Kato have been collaborating since 2010 with two records on The Platinum selling “Discolized 2.0″ album (Celebrate Life & Happiness). This was the first time thousands of fans got to hear Jeremy & Kato’s #1 record, “Celebrate Life” performed live. Celebrate Life was mastered at stadiumred by Ricardo Guttierez. Jeremy also performed his upcoming releases “Just One Breath” and “Live Forever” for the first time.

The album’s final mix was completed at Stadiumred in Studio A and was assisted by Stadiumred assistant engineer Keith Parry.

Torae has put together a dream-team of producers for his new album, “For The Record”, released today. He’s enlisted the talents of Pete Rock, DJ Premier, Diamond D, Large Professor, 9th Wonder, Marco Polo, Khrysis, Fatin, Illmind, and Nottz to help him tell his personal story.

In an era saturated with upstart MCs all vying for the coveted status of “next big thing”, the story of 24-year old North Carolina native J. Cole (born Jermaine Cole) is a refreshing exception to the quick route for fame and success. The first artist signed to Jay-Z’s new Roc Nation label, Cole made himself notable through a scholarly approach to the game – no small feat considering his Magna Cum Laude distinction upon graduating from St. John’s University.

Stadium Red recently hosted J. Cole and his engineer for some finishing touches on his debut album “The Sideline Story”. They tweaked every record on the album in Studio A of Stadium Red and were assisted by Keith Parry. This album debuted at number 1, is currently the number 1 album in the country and is already being called a classic and sold 217,000 copies in the first week.

On October 4th, 2011 La Dispute released their album “Wildlife” on No Sleep Records. As stated by the bands official press release… “Wildlife is a nearly 60-minute musical examination of the twenty something search for purpose; an exploration of the struggles that confront, damage, and redefine us inevitably in life through 14 tracks of new material. Set up as a collection of unpublished “short stories” complete with the author’s notes and sectioned thematically by four monologues, “Wildlife” discusses the difficulties inherent in growing up by interweaving the author’s own ambiguous loss and struggle for meaning alongside the stories it compelled him to document.

The majority of this album was recorded and was entirely mixed at Stadium Red by our very own Joseph Pedulla, teamed with producer Andrew Everding of Thursday. The finishing touches were put on it by our mastering engineer Ricardo Gutierrez. Today Sonicscoop.com posted an interview with Stadium Red engineer Joseph Pedulla, discussing the project and the technique he used to mix the whole album without the use of digital reverbs. In the article Joe states “We were just trying to capture what it would be like for an audience member sitting and listening to a guitar in a room,” “There was something natural about it.”
