I thought I should post this as many of you may not have seen it, its a live performance by the most dangerous men in UK Hip Hop at the Wardrobe, Leeds a couple of years ago for Angel22.tv. The tracks are from their debut EP packaged Fear which you can still pick up in all good hip hop record shops.

After a few issues with hackers and spammers I’ve had to update the forum for the website, it’s a PHPBB forum so most people will have used this system at sometime or another. Unfortunately due to compatibility issues with the forum upgrade we’ve lost all posts, PM’s & user accounts. This forum now offers better user security so you can be confident your details can’t be stolen from the site as well as better anti-spam protection. The layout is alot simpler to use and you will find the registration process is even easier too. Also during the upgrade I’ve made a “mobile friendly version” of the site so if you are viewing this site via your mobile it will automatically revert to the “mobile version” for you so your not wasting bandwidth or costing you more money.

DJM’s new free mixtape is available now… it’s aptly named “Jimerney Crickets Pernikerty Lickerdy Split Twix Lickers From Twickenham Mix” and features some great mashups. If you’ve had the pleasure of a DJM set you’ll probably recognise a couple of these signature remixes:
Mally Malcz - ‘Under the Influence’ Album Review
0 Comments Published by Aidan July 2nd, 2008 in Music Reviews.
‘Under the Influence’ is a competently made album but ‘Train Strain’, ‘Late Again’, ‘Our Gaff’ and ‘Why’ are the only pockets of goodness in what is an album over-stuffed with introverted, drug/sex/alcohol/misery soaked tracks.
‘Train Strain’ is a comedic take on the tube experience. It’s bouncy, fuzz bass led production is amazingly catchy and bridges the gap between UK garage and Hip Hop. ‘Late Again’ is an amusing observation on having to wake up in the morning and Mally’s disastrously (and intentionally) bad singing fits the bill perfectly – it gives that really sleepy feeling. ‘Our Gaff’ is built around a rehash of ‘Our House’ by Madness and it extols the virtues of being grown but still living at home with Mum. Despite the apparent misery of the situation Malcz still comes with the funnies that I like him for (‘On the bed, my Super Ted covers’). ‘Why’ is a reflective, haunting but beautiful song covering knife crime, council estate life and life in general, his vision of his influence and the afterlife (‘I don’t believe in God but he might be hearing me’). These four tracks are all ones that I’ll listen to again, however the others don’t far so well. ‘Combat’ is not a bad track either. Continue reading ‘Mally Malcz - ‘Under the Influence’ Album Review’
Flying Lotus has become well renowned for his ability of firing out immense beats that rappers wish they could be on and producer’s wish they could get close to constructing. Deciding to let his beats speak for themselves is one of the first things Lotus gets so right. A descendant of the late great Jazz artist Alice Coltraine, Flying Lotus is stripping his output down to jarring loops, atmospherics and drums he creates this tribal, pagan drive that engulfs each track making their rhythmic shunts incredibly hard to withstand.
