Under Pessure 94 video

Mister Vera sent me alink to this, and felt it was an opprtunity to share in one of the more international graff jams in the UK. I rememberstarting to send letters to EEZ in 1990 when i was into trading photos, and he mentioned that he was organising a jam with some famous NYC and European names.
Next thing you know its all underway.
This was one of the best all elements events I have been to, and the only footage till now I have is of the slideshow talk that Phase2 gave.
Lots of bboying by evo, tuff tim, and battle squad. storms headspins are amazing.
Pull up a chair and watch a piece of UK graffiti history.

Paul Nice- Breaks for days

From Beats and Blood:

This is one of the finest breaks mixes ever recorded.

Paul Nice really hits the nail on the head and delivers one of the most butter smooth breaks mixes I have ever heard.

Straight dope. This is the kind of breaks mix that is so right-on, your dad would probably like it. 

Perfect for sitting out in the sun, poolside chillin', or cruising round town.

Don't sleep on this diamond. 

Thoughtfully divided up into 69 tracks for all you beat jackers out there.

Enjoy!

60 minute cd series: vol 21

What?
 2 cd mixes in one month? Whats going on?
Over the past 2 years, January has historically been a real bad month for music, but this year, it seems to have been the best for a while. Done get me wrong, these tracks STILL took some finding, and it meant downloading, unraring, and having to listen through almost 40 albums to bring you this mix. Most disappointing for me was Talbi Kwali's latest release in 2011 which for me only had one stand out track on the whole album.
There is just as much shit being produced and released than ever, which means you cant let your shit guard down for a second . I still love live drums and breaks in music, and it seems producers are using these less and less in America escpecially. (Thank fuck for Aussie hip hop who still use them)
Last track in this mix is one of my fave funk tracks, with the UKs Alice Russell on vocals. Just had to slip that one in there.
Enjoy the mix.

new years rant.

Im not a fan of all this Happy New Year bullshit. Time continues on with no change, and things feel no different, so I wont be all in your face with some new year shit!
fuck christmas as well while im at it.. There are some real slim pickings at the moment, but then January is always slow for decent music. Theres always a big rush of lps from artists who want their album to be the first one dropped in 2011. Between us, Len and I get through around 40 lps a week, looking for music to play on the radio show and for the 60 min cd series. Out f the 20 lps I got this week, I found 8 tracks.
8.
I give each track about 5 seconds to catch me with the production or the tune or the break. I often dont get as far as hearing the rhymes, cos why would I want to listen to good rhymes over wack music?
This means a couple of things:
1.the current trend of slow plodding off beat tempos in production these days is destroying the old boom bap feel of uptempo beats
2. It makes for a real depressing listen on the radio or a mix. It takes 4 times as long to get a decent tracklist together.

I know that other hosts of podcasts are having the same trouble as us, as finding decent music is hard. REAL hard.
But the idea of the radio show and the 60 cd mixes are to open your ears to new music and artists you may have not heard before, so when the going gets bad, we resort to digging in the crates.

A quick word to producers.
Make your shit interesting or no one will listen to it for over 10 seconds, let alone buy it. Hip hop music has never been more disposable in the era of internet downloads. An Lp which probably took someone 4 months to write and produce took me less than 90 seconds to skip through. People may say Im destroying hip hop by downloading peoples work.
Work?
You really call these shit produced LPs work? The wack producers are the ones destroying hip hop, not me.
You really think I have the money to spend on 20 lps a week on vinyl? If I like an Lp I will go out and buy it like most of the Freestyle Professors work. But please, dont say Im killing the music scene cos its managing quite well on its own to kill itself.
Track digging is as hard as its ever been at the moment. This is the reason the 60min cd series mixes are so far apart, as its taking 3 times as long to get 20 songs together.
Try it for yourself.
Go to your favourite music blog and download 20 lps by artists you have never heard of before with lps all released in 2011. See if you get 8 tracks or more that you think have that real hip hp feel.
Im interested if you do.
