yes mista french man whatever you say!

Saian Supa Crew are the dope shit, (though im by far superior on the playstation, Glasto ’03 FACT) if you dont know about them then please get to know,  they have been tearing up microphones for at least 12 years that i know of and have consistently kept me captivated without having had a single idea of what their on about. I think that’s the test of a good rapper, if you don’t even understand the language he’s speaking but the flow is still dope enough to keep your attention. In fact with some of the ish these rappers are calling lyrics nowadays it would be a  blessing to not have to understand whats being said…i wonder if Tinchy knows french? Anyhoo this song is ridiculous and has been in my top 10 sexy hip-hop tunes since i first heard it way back when, so many sounds, instruments, vocal tones, its just straight butter….makes me want to dance around in my underwear in front of curtainless windows with a soft light on at night, ‘ahoy there neighbor!’


do vegetables have their own language?

Or do they only make beautiful music when blown into by a human? hmmmmm only one way to find out, pass me a leek please. Oh wait, hold that vegetable i can just watch this instead ;)


high fidelity spoof (genius tour advert)

Dan le Sac, Scroobius Pip, Riz MC and Nick Frost all in this wonderful High Fidelity Spoof (if you havent seen that film, why are your reading this blog…go now), the wonders of a great idea executed to perfection….could there be an English version in the making…i’d watch it and im not really a Scroob fan, if you are though tour kicks off in October, dates in the film above.


the peace has been disturb

Itunes shuffle i salute you for waking me from my Bjork induced daydream with this.


stop for 4 mins

Breathe it in, then go about your day…


new tune out soon….


Artwork by Mark Trashynsky is finished for my feature with Mutated Forms….some people say we look like the Ghostbusters in this pic…just who in the Ghostbusters had an afro, the black guy had a skiffle mate! Anyways the single was written early this year and based on the thought process after an unknown goodbye, ‘Last Time‘ is out very soon on Allsorts, shouts to Crissy Criss for the support and of course the Mutated Lads, cant wait to work with ya’ll again  :)


jesus & harry potter at mosside carnival

Carnival Jesus & Harry potter

A week back today i was at Alexandra Park in Manchester enjoying the Mosside Carnival,  the first time i’d been there in over 12 years! Shocked as i was to see Jesus and Harry Potter there i was even more surprised by the beautiful weather and rather pleasent crowd of all ages, creeds and cultures peacefully enjoying the some what community lead entertainment and tasty but pricey food. Snap happy as always here some pics from a very fun sunday… (more…)


perfect sunshine music :)


Had to give this a spin today after hearing another dastardly duo track kick off Benji Bs show on 1xtra last night, its just perfect sunshine music. If you havent heard this absolute gem from Zed Bias and Omar prepare to have your ears audibly seduced. Single Special is out 13th September on Tru Thoughts spread the word whilst making babies to the music ;)


‘talk, so serious’

Baby i dont know what i should do.

You sure make me feel like loving you…


N’fa – cause n effect ep

Last year or even longer ago i blog about two model Aussies i’d befriend whilst downunder called the Dreamkatchers, one of those gorgeously talented guys ;) N’fa has now gone solo, moved to the UK and this month released his first EP, Cause an Effect. The video (above) was the directed by the late Heath Ledgar (a boyhood friend of N’fa, i was in the wrong class) and the EP on Itunes includes 5 remixes and the video for a bargin £1.79…so what are you waiting for? Go get it!


lets hear it for Newport!


LMFAO Luke Unabomber twitters some funny ish!


Raekwon on pop

Wu Tang are just one of my teenage fave’s  gracing the UK shores this summer (checked Snoop & Prince last week,  Salt n Pepa get here in Aug!) caught a bit of the interview Raekwon done for 6music to promote the UK shows, where he says it exactly how it is with regards to artistic content of the modern day pop artist/rapper.

I cant bloody wait to see the Wu…seriously too many albums with too many tunes what the hell are they gonna fit into their live show?? Oh sooo exciting :) Makes you wonder though in terms of the artistic development of the modern day stars he’s talking about are Tinchy, Tinie, Dappy, Sneezy (lmao)  and whoever else you lot listen to gonna be able to get back on stage in 13 years time for a WORLD TOUR? With the unoriginal A&R’ing of the UK major labels just what longevity are they creating for their artists? I’ll stop right there.

testing, testing @ parklife

The (locally controversial) Manchester festival was much fun this weekend, i was residing for most of Saturday behind the Ape tent soaking up the sun, hanging with Chunky n crew and trying out Ustreams Iphone app that allows you to broadcast live on the interweb to your Ustream Channel from your IPhone . Now it kind of worked and it kind of didn’t for a number of reasons, one major flaw 02‘s Iphone network being quite shabby on the day (quelle surpirse!) another being my newbie set up of the app and my channel on the site itself.  Also the ever flowing stream of fizzy booze didnt help but i did get few things on video, however alot of stuff i recorded using the ustream app and saved went missing….not a good look and i should of just recorded via IPhone cam…lesson learned anyways here for your viewing pleasure is a little sample of the salvaged footage from a day in the life at the park!

Backstage @ Parklife


possibly my favourite line in hip-hop?

Gotta stop smoking MC’s somebody pass me the nicorette

Freestyle – The Arsonists.

Its short sharp to the point and is not a simile…im sure theres more i like a lot probably but this has stuck with me from day. Any takers??


coming home to you

Caught Hoodman last night at Moho Live why isnt this fella on my tv?? Truely awesome talent who i do not see or hear enough of…remember first hearing in this tune from UK Team and Konny Kon (Broke n £nglish ) when i had my show on 1Xtra. The manny accent and free flowing story line made me home sick as hell living in London. Even though it wasn’t packed in Moho last night (shame on to many people  for a number of different reasons) the vibe was live and everyone who grabbed the mic smashed it big shouts to Siege, Hoodman, Mr Fox & Freestyle for a proper hip-hop evening :P


visual gold

Hoya Hoya last night was charged everyone was on top form including Eman on visuals….

My fav night in Manchester which i always miss thanks to working at the weekends but tonight im in town and will be side of stage tryin to grab the mic of Chunky whilst watching Eman with Hawk eyes :P If You’ve never been before check out the ickle video after the jump :) (more…)

beatles vs drum and bass (free download)

Just got a link this morning from Headliner journo and DJ Ly da  Buddah who i got very drunk with @ Brainklub, Braunscwheig earlier in the year. He’s created quite possibly the funnest mixes i’ve heard in a while, a D&B selection vs a host of Beatles songs , it aint half bad! Download it yourself for free, have a listen and a sing along to ‘Hey Jude its Noisia’ ‘Hello Goodbye Blabbermouth’ & ‘Get Back Snaggletooth’ (my own titles!)  just some of the many classic mash ups in this selection! Tracklisting after the jump.

puff puff give, pour me another one

Two phrases i love inspired this weeks Frontroom Radio. FR05 Smokin & Drinkin is up now at mixcloud and ready for your listening pleasure! Every single track in the hour is either about puffing the good stuff, swilling alcohol, being high or has a connection in the title….All except Bisweed & Spirit included simply for their names! So many tracks i didn’t include leads me to believe that I’ll be making another smokin and drinkin themed selection in my frontroom before the summers out :) Listen.Like.Love.Share.Enjoy!


a song for the sun

Yes yes yes, its warm in Manchester and even though my wax ran out half way through my right leg, i dont care, im ready to go enjoy the heat!!! Any 22 years olds of the pretty male type fancy pooling pocket money for a car to run away in this arvo…what??! I mean to innocently recreate the video! (perverts!!)
