Ghetto Bassquake @ SXSW
Oh. My first trip to Texas was pretty good. Armed with underwhelming smartphone video capabilities, an acute sense of giving Nickleback soundalikes a very wide birth and an ability to sleep only 4 hours every night from jet lag left me suitably delirious most for the whole festival.. First we caught a short set by …
The Koko Master
The Koko Master, D’Banj seems to be heading for possibly the similar kind of cross over US success as Akon if having a pricey video made with Snoop is any indication and now rumours of a Kanye collaboration. This track was produced by Don Jazzy, UK Afro-tranceish Hiplife synth production mac who also stars in …
Ghetto Bassquake at SXSW 2011
Like Fruko said, this week is going to be super fun as the three of us who rarely meet due to a few different continents & oceans in the way can actually have a beer and lose ourselves in considerable amounts of bass (with a few thousand others). And elsewhere just the sheer line up …
DJ Jess Demolition Tape 9 – Kuduro
Following DJ Crabbe’s great 3ball mix, DJ Jess just sent us a supremely jacking kuduro mix which you should grab now. Watch out for their forthcoming 27 track kuduro compilation record out in a couple of months on Mental Groove called BAZZERK. Ghetto Bassquake approved. Demolition Tape #9 – DJ Jess – B Fox Goes …
The Heatwave – Soca Season Mix 2011

Awesome Tapes From Peckham (and Cds)
Just remembered last year I went down to the Nigerian music shops in Peckham, South London and picked up a few cds amongst loads of cassettes they have stacked up in one particular shop. Only just got round to listening to them and found this one. D $mart – Pikin (I Want To Drink Small …
Uproot Andy XLR8R Mix
Currently tearing a new hole in Colombia’s most banging clubs with Geko Jones, Brooklyn’s Uproot Andy drops a new mix to fire up your winter with a much needed dose of tropical ghetto magic. As you’d expect, a bouncing ride of new school latin inflected hottness with a touch of UK Bass heavy pressure for …
R.I.P. DJ Amazing Clay
Man Recordings just posted the sad news that DJ Amazing Clay has passed away after a battle with cancer. I was a big fan of his brilliant productions and his legendary Baile Funk masters EP was a firm favourite when I first got into funk a few years ago. His career spanned over 28 years …
