pic by James Hill Flickr Carnival was Heavy this year. One of the best. Especially as I managed to completely avoid Good Times and every single Funky House soundsystem. We raped the free bar at the Mad Decent do, which was a lot of fun – free bar, food & toilets is pretty unheard of …

I Urge You To Do Some Stuff
Not Hula with these two funsters though. Thats for later. **************************************** Always heavy summer mix from Word The Cat. Rumble Time. Excellent new reggae roundup at Cyan Wait. Including Busy Signal’s blinding new Tic Toc. Cracking new mAfromatics fire from Boima. Pay homage to the almighty Acid Hall riddim at The Fader. Yet another Radioclit banger. …
Please Don’t Hurt ‘em
After years of screwfacing it seems 2008 will be the year that grime gets stoopid. JME covers ‘U Can’t Touch This’ cunningly retitled ‘Fcuk This Shit’. Free Download on his page The new album, Famous, is out July 14th. I think it will be very good.

The Love Music Hate Racism carnival in London’s Victoria Park was fun, after avoiding a near beating by the excitable security, I sneaked into the dance tent to catch the end of Skream & Benga. Dubstep is starting to come alive for me. DMZ’s Third Birthday opened my eyes a few weeks ago. The dubs …

Trim – Taliban Also this year Trim shared …

Sorry its a radio rip so Semtex is babbling away on it. Buy it proper when its released. Coki & Benga ft. Dizzee – …

Re-Re-wind
Ahhh 97. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was working in the neon lit multiscreen nightmare of HMV, whiling away the hours flicking through import Hip Hop cds that I couldn’t afford..Out of the blue speed garage mixes started flying off the racks. The saturday shoppers got hammered with it. I thought the …
