All good things come to an end... After running this blog for over four years on a daily basis, we've decided to call it a quit for Musical Schizophrenia.
We're all busy with our lifes (and getting busier and better), unfortunately activity on the blog is decreasing big time, we lost quite a few links after the recent file sharing shutdowns and a big part of the team is active for The Find Mag nowadays anyway, which is pretty much identical to this blog but more extended content, a bigger platform and related (physical) projects - also many free downloads!
Because it'd be a shame to let the blog slowly 'die', it's for the better to put an end to it now. Of course we'll leave the blog online so you can dig through the archives any time (over 2.800 posts waiting for you!) and there's always the MS forum for those of you who still want to participate, contribute and stay active in the community.
Quick Oscar moment: thanks to all involved writers from start (2008) to finish (2012). And above all, lonely at the top: huge thanks to all hip hop enthusiasts, musical schizophrenics, fans, anonymous leechers, supporters and people who were active in the tight MS community. At day one I was under the assumption that I was one of the only people with "such a weird/eclectic taste in music". It's amazing to see that there's a (fairly big) worldwide niche full of lovers of 'jazz-hop' and analogue cross-overs.
This blog eventually transformed into The Find Magazine, which opened doors for me personally to other opportunities and ambitions (and meeting a bunch of new people), so without exaggerating like a melancholic drama king, I can say this blog was definitely a fruitful kickstart to great things. So don't see this as a definite end: we keep things going through The Find!!
Don't wanna miss us? Facebook, Twitter, Mixcloud & TheFindMag.com for daily music/downloads
So yeah, that's it y'all. Hopefully you enjoyed the ride. We sure did! Thanks to you and yours.

New Tom Dice!
"This is Tom Dice's latest entirely instrumental LP following on from"Off Beat Percussion". The immense interest in both "Off Beat Percussion"and the Phantom's "The Anomaly" has persuaded Tom to bless his audience with another LP. The title suggests MC'S need proper music to rhyme to in an increasingly oversaturated market."

"Heavily influenced by golden-era hip hop but relevant to today’s sound, Five Year Journey is being dubbed as a new-age throwback. The album includes 15 songs with features from Inkspill, K-Rec, Mike Decline, and Allan Rodger and is seamlessly woven together with transitional cuts from K-Rec, a producer/turntablist, who re-mixed "It's Tricky" by Run-Dmc, which soon became the title track for the Electronic Arts video game SSX Tricky. The album is dedicated to the group’s longtime friend, Colin Van Dyk, who passed away unexpectedly in 2010. "

I found a very old beat tape of mine (maybe 4 or 5 years old, back when I was just beginning) and it has some beats on there that have never seen the light of day, some are really really terrible, so terrible in fact that I have to release them, others are just outright embarrassing. This track however lies somewhere in the middle. It is not the best but it could be worse, I just felt like I should upload it since you have heard Moonset II on the Whats Left beat tape, but I am sure you were wondering where part one was. Also I just wanted to make a cover. So as always, download, enjoy, pass it pon dee lef' hand side.

"The concept is to view the human mind as a hallway or corridor and each room or area has a certain feeling, emotion, or vibe. The rooms can either give off a very strong emotion, or can be a mixture of several. The instrumentals are used to score that mood that the emotion gives off. (As it pertains to me).Just like how certain images or songs bring back memories I tried to do the same for myself to let you learn more about Abnormal(which is why I have little notes about each track).So you are basically walking through the corridors of my mind with the instrumental showing every little detail."
