December 18, 2011Urban Allstar representer Neal Birnie has been one of my favourite London DJs for time, even before he hit 21. Probably the most naturally talented man I’ve seen behind the decks, the last few years he’s been honing his collection and skills digging and unearthing tunes at the highest level, and finally getting the props he deserves from his regular night…
December 12, 2011Stepping up with something he’s been promising for time, Timmy K has delivered a call back to his roots on the drum n bass and jungle scene. Some big plates here from a load of our favorite labels and purveyors of the amen break based electronics and beyond – including a load of Hospital who inspired much of his 24/7…
December 11, 2011Damn, can’t believe there’s still some of these left. Juno are actually giving away physical copies of this limited 7″ they’ve curated as a Christmas present to their customers. Yes, a free 7″ with well appointed tracks from FaltyDL and JD Twitch. Dope. We all know what FaltyDL can do, and after the amazing year he’s had this late-entry has…
December 10, 2011So many nights going on recently about time we shouted out some music once more. Out to Nick at Phonica Records for putting me on to this plate, a new joint from Oakland’s Aybee, done under his o1o moniker. Limited to 300 copies, I recommend getting this on order ASAP cause once it starts getting played out it’s going to…
December 8, 2011December continues to smash it on the live front, to the point where almost everyone I know is getting sick from sleep deprivation and damaged immune systems. Here’s one not to miss though, partially due to the intimate venue but mostly due to headliner Ron Morelli being supported by DMX Krew and Roots Unit. It’s a dope lineup, and if…
December 6, 2011A month or so ago we unexpectedly closed off a night at Islington Metal Works which was damn inspiring for those that were there, and the London music scene in general. We’d heard Illum Sphere would be headlining but past tht were unaware of the goings on, and three parties later headed down to what turned out to be the…
December 5, 2011We all know December’s a rammed month, but this is the joint – the party you need to reach before the year end. The one NKC and Rollo Jackson (last mentioned here for the incredible Tape Crackers) are headlining the night alongside Lostbahnhof residents who’ve had a sterling 2011. The crew of Semtek, TK and James Broomfield have pretty much…
December 3, 2011Stunning review from Juno Plus on Science & Romance went up this week, thought I’d repost for those that missed it, out to Oli Warwick who penned it. On this note the distributor sold out before I could get any copies for myself, so promo plates have been a bit delayed, but will be delivered soon. Need to say a massive…
November 29, 2011With Odyssey dropping Legacy earlier in the year, the legendary disco-soul-funk-rnb band (best known circa NYC late 70’s early 80’s) have been thrown back in the spotlight and earned some long deserved respect from the next generation of music heads. Alongside this full length collaboration with Yam Who? came news of a remix project, dropping December 12th titled Return To…
November 28, 2011Not much more we can say about our ongoing love for Peaking Lights and the Not Not Fun label that we didn’t cover when we clocked on to 936 back in April. Check the link here – inclusive of the tribute show Kamikaze put together a month before that. Phonica Records have been donning it on the free gig /…
