Deadringer (album)
Deadringer is the first studio album by American hip hop producer and DJ RJD2. It was released on July 23, 2002 on Definitive Jux. The album features vocal contributions from Blueprint, Jakki da Motamouth, and Copywrite. Early copies included a hidden song on the last track, titled "Here's What's Left." "Ghostwriter" was featured in advertisements for Washington State Lottery and Wells Fargo, as well as in the film Wimbledon.
Reception
Noel Dix of Exclaim! gave Deadringer a favorable review and commented that the album "plays very much like the soundtrack to a motion picture". Sam Chennault of Pitchfork Media called it "an essential purchase for any fan of instrumental hip-hop". Doug Levy of CMJ New Music Report felt that "DJ Shadow may have started the instrumental hip-hop revolution, but RJD2 is here to make the coup a reality".
Chris Ryan of Spin said, "[RJD2] goes spelunking for everything from flamenco and pastoral folk to the kind of raw funk breaks that most groove merchants only dream of uncovering". Tony Van Groningen of Stylus Magazine noted that "RJD2 effortlessly changes directions and adds unexpected elements to the mix that do more to perfect the songs than to muddle them up".
Proxy server
In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or an application) that acts as an intermediary for requests from clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available from a different server and the proxy server evaluates the request as a way to simplify and control its complexity. Proxies were invented to add structure and encapsulation to distributed systems. Today, most proxies are web proxies, facilitating access to content on the World Wide Web and providing anonymity.
Types
A proxy server may reside on the user's local computer, or at various points between the user's computer and destination servers on the Internet.
