Taliban Warfare

Uuuuhhh, it looks like Trim and Wiley are clashing!!!!

Now I ain't sayin I'm backin one or the other yea, if they got beef they got beef and that's between them.

All I'm sayin is this - the fact that this means plenty more freestyles are now certain to come out of man like Trimbal in 2010 is very very good news for anyone listening to grime today...Lissstteeennnnn!

Rave soon come

"Four dead and two wounded...
...right bullet, right time."

Straight backy bizniz.

Darkside Of The Woods

Ended up listening to nothing but straight up UK psychy freak folk shit yestersay. Started pleasantly enough, but ended up getting some serious kicks out of Comus, who are definitely more towards the freaky end of things than the fruity. They're really really good, and getting rediscovered a bit at the moment cos they recently reunited I think.

Alongside the ridiculously deep album artwork you should maybe check out tracks like this one "Song To Comus." Unlike ISB or Dr Strangely Strange these guys did songs about rape, violence and madness. It's folk boss, but not as most mans know it...

...and I like it! Check em out.

The Greatest Friends I Have In Life

I'm sick today. Taking refuge in The Incredible String Band, 'The Big Huge' to be precised. You should all listen to it too, it's lovely.

"Then I offered my throat to the wolf but I just can't die. All I can do is fly...."

Scratchedelia...Expand your mind and your ass will follow

Seeing as how I seem to be re-living the 1992 hardcore ting day by day at the moment via pirate sets and rave recordings on Youtube I jus thought I'd share some of it with you here by pointing you towards some of the most phenomenal scratch' n' mixing I've ever heard on this clip of a Remarc set on Weekend Rush 92.5.

Go to like 3.20 in for a particularly hype bit if you like, but honestly every single track in this set is fuckin awesome and made EVEN BETTER by the mixing. This shit is reeeaallll. Proper education here, dun know.

We LOVES Remarc. Absolutely holding it down since day.

This is a real treat. Enjoy.

Fuck

BULLET BULLET BULLET!!! Ummm, check this. Oh shit, I think I really really really like it loads and loads. Got it pon di absolute replay...He's absolute slewed it again. Very very very excited, bare bare bare bare hype.

Ghetto youths, watch your step...Watch your step step...Just get on it yea, cos this one's big. Trussss me, words cannot express.

I see dead people...

Mo' hot shit JA Rave stylez here on the Outbreak Riddim, which I think broke at the end of last year.

Busy's tune on it's a big gyalis one which is wicked, and then there'ss this one from the ever gangsta ever bad gully god Mavado which is el loco.

Very very mad. Enjoy.

Sting Dem.

Badness

Spotted.

Mr Vegas sampling Jacket (couldn't find a clip of the full track...sorry) by top boy fuckedupstep producer MONKEY (2008), and "I Don't Wanna Lose You Love" sampling Hold It Down by old skool ardkore badmen 2 Bad Mice (1991) start nearly identically.

Dun know dat sampledelia is mad referential and sounds batty amounts of ridiculous inna the dance. This is why STAGGA and MONKEY are 2 of the of the best and baddest hardcore dance music producers in the UK today.

Apparently the break is a loop from an old rare groove track.

Aren't they all.

Rush Me

Nice obscure 92 number to get tings rushing off into 2010...been cruising old Top Buzz sets and this one was a real find.

Breaks, booms, blips and plentya pitched up vocal euphoria? Uhhh, yea...Do you need much else? Uhhh, no.

Eeee Come Alive.
