Ray Cash vs. Joker & Rustie (Kraddy Next Level Mash Up)
1 September 2010, 10:19 pm
Electronic music seems to be growing incredibly fast, so many artists are pushing boundaries and expanding on the ol’ genre limitations that quite frankly had become boring. Over the last few years the new sound of the electronic music landscape has gained a cult following on the West Coast. Los Angeles has become a breeding [...]...
Kastle – Better Off Alone ( Udachi Remix )
30 August 2010, 2:27 pm
When you talk about bass music in general, you usually reference UK artists first. However, the good ol’ US of A is coming strong with its own list of top tier artists turning out a string of solid tunes. Kastle is from the Burgh.

The HARD Summer Tour featuring Crystal Castles, Rusko, Sinden, Destructo & more, finally hit Toronto last Saturday. Everything was on point inside The Guvernment.

But now you're getting all fucked up with me, and although I keep taking it from you, you're probably on the way out, and I'm trying to think of ways to get you back. Because, at the end of the day, the "new" hardcore is rather degrading, and there are too many limits being pushed. Here are a few of mine that k...

T-Rex Taqueria had just opened. Maybe they didn't have their act together. My burrito took a while to make and somehow the hot sauce was left out. The wrap was a little messy and ingredient distribution was poor. And they only had black beans.

But T-Rex is no destination....

Don't get me wrong, I was thrilled to be able to order a burrito at Logan airport's Terminal C. That counts for a lot, but that's where the thrill ends. I went with the steak classic burrito from Currito, add guacamole. As a long time adversary of the cilantro lime rice, I wasn't expecting much. Expectation correct. The Currito burrito was strictly average in every way but one. $8.33 for a burrito. Wow. I didn't have my scale with me, but the FDR must have been a record low. See also: ...

GRATEFUL DEADMonday, May 9th, 1977War Memorial Auditorium - Buffalo, New YorkAudience & Soundboard RecordingsImmediately after what would later become arguably their most famous show of all time, the Grateful Dead just rolled right along. On the very next night they were simply playing the next stop on the Spring 77 tour in Buffalo, New York. For them, the events of the previous night were very likely to have passed relatively unnoticed. It was just what happened yesterday. A good show, no ...

Penny Reel on Stoke Newington Reggae Record shops in the 1970s
3 September 2010, 5:02 am
A while ago these images appeared on the North Sixteen Twitter: I recognised them from a 1970s reggae documentary “Aquarius” as they are announced as being Stoke Newington (London N16), which is where I live: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkfFQNRs4cI (Footage starts at 4:50 but it’s well worth viewing in its entirety) There was some interest about the exact location [...]...

Cybore / Box Set Go. Matt owns a lot more boxsets than me: These Trojan sets, compiled by Steve Barrow, were the most accessible way to get into Black Ark stuff in the late eighties. They foreshadowed Barrow’s later work with the Blood & Fire label – incorporating great selection, sound quality and design. And [...]...

2005 Ugandan Dancehall Video of the week #11
23 August 2010, 11:59 pm
Bebe Cool – Awete http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkCJlOaDVNo The minimal keyboard melody in this is a real winner, I think. The crossword graphics are a nice touch, but some of the effects maybe bleach it all out too much. Respect also to the reappearance of Bell Lager and a particular sacred herb. Also the dialetic of surrounding yourself [...]...

Audio Bullys: ‘Kiss The Sky’

London’s Audio Bullys never fail! This tune is massive in the playlist. I love the Bullys because they always have A-game production and good, catchy, songwriting with signature delivery. They can do it all! The new heat is ‘Kiss The Sky’, a big room electro house stomper—and def. a mad reapeater since the Audio Bullys [...]...

Lil Wayne: ‘Drop The World (feat. Eminem)’ & ‘Get A Life’ from ‘Rebirth’ album. Remixes from Flying Lotus & Stenchman
17 December 2009, 12:48 am
New Orleans’ MC champion Lil Wayne has an infectious one with Detroit underground-com-pop-raper Eminem on ‘Drop The World’. Eminem’s frequent pop-parody raps have made him more pop-than-pop like a US Weekly magazine—but still, the man’s got talent and now-and-then pulls off something really special that reminds me why I used to excuse myself on going [...]...

Keeping things interesting in the Crystal Castles hype realm as the big comeback is getting closer with every day approaching towards the new single release Doe Deer - we're expecting a massacre on the 17th. It wasn't long ago when Crystal Castles pulled a houdini with their alleged remix album, but lately a number of previously unheard 'Official' remixes started to pop up everywhere - I only assume that these are cuts from that alleged remix album's vault.
