In a world where it seems like every man and his dog are making shit ‘beatz’ using Reason and some rubbish presets, it’s good to see someone doing it the proper way…

Das EFX – Real HipHop (Pete Rock Remix)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qJWQZoRIy4
Das EFX is an American hip hop duo. It consists of emcees Skoob (also known as Books, born William “Willie” Hines, November 27, 1970) and Dray (also known as Krazy Drayzy, born Andre Weston, September 9, 1970). They rose to popularity in the early 1990s due to their affiliation with EPMD‘s Hit Squad and the duo’s stream of consciousness lyrical delivery, which became one of the most influential lyrical styles in hip hop music during the early 1990s.[1] Their style combined nonsensical lines with a fast-paced flow (that included words that end with “-iggedy“) and numerous pop culture references.

DJ Riz – Biggie Winehouse
Fellow Cambridge funk and hiphop head DJ Crump posted this on facebook yesterday, and I had to spread the word. Far from being a hasty bandwagon knockup, DJ Riz put this together 5 months ago, and Biggies verses fit perfectly.
Regardless of her personal issues, you got to admit she had a hell of a voice, and backed by The Dap Kings she introduced soul to a whole load of people which can never be a bad thing…

Meadows in the Mountains 2011
Just got back from playing at what must be my most memorable festival experience ever – Meadows in the Mountains is organised by a couple of friends of mine, and is held in the beautiful surroundings of the Rhodopian mountains in Bulgaria. This year, being the first ever one was relatively small, but I can’t see that being the case next year as everyone who was there this year is already looking forward to the next one, and everyone else who has seen the amazing photos and heard how good it was is green with envy. Definitely one to watch…Here’s a wee clip of me and my QVC partner in crime, Captain Stearne, smashing out the cosmic disco for all the mountaineers!

Brother to Brother – Chance With You
Thanks to Pistol pete for tipping me off to this one, an amazing little groover. Whilst trying to find a decent mp3 of it i stumbled across the following little bootleg by Stickybuds and Jpod:

And then eventually found a nice vinyl rip of the original 12″:
