Hoochinoo, Foreign Beggars Vid shoot and a weeekend in London

Monday morning seems to roll around with disturbing swiftness these days, one moment it's friday night and the world seems right and good, then suddenly you're spooning the 3rd teaspoon of sugar into your piss awful vending machine coffeee and wondering where it all went wrong

Still musnt moan too hard, it was a top weekend all in all and went a little something like this

Friday night kicked off with Hoochinoo at Vibe Bar in Brick Lane, this night is getting better and better with a real strong crowd turn out amidst artists and fans alike. This time round we had Kashmere (killed it), Bella Trix (female beatboxer), Delegates of Culture, myself and daredevil (altough the delay in start times meant that we didnt get to play and had to work on our drank)...the ongoing smoking ban nonsense means that people are always gonna be bouncing out for a quick fag as soon as one act finishes and normally this results in a 10 mintue empty club at the beginning of anyone' set, however for some reason the Vibe crowd were omni-present, a good look...throw in some quest appearnaces from Barry Blue (Gunshot), Farma G ( taskforce) Kyza (dented) as well as plenty other artists then there was a real good vibe (pardon the pun) going on all night...respect to Theo...4 deck set next time holmes

Saturday was the video shoot for the Foreign Beggars new single Contact produced by D'n'B heavyweights Noisia...i'm not going to go into details expecially about theme but this promises to be massive and the shoot was jokes with Orifice, Metropolis and Nonames on top form...cant wait to see the finished product and spot myself

Sunday was another video shoot for the Dr Syntax track Hire Me, altough my part got longed out as timescales worked against me; the updates from Synners by phone sounded damn amusing...again lips are sealed...

thats it for me, tonight i'm going to tesco to spend the 50 squid vouchor that Sky sent me to apologise for being c*nts...so feet firmly back on the ground...

peasssssss

Finally bought some new cd's

so bit of a moan really, I finally got round to buying some new cd's to listen to the car, Dillanthology 2 and a Daedulus album on Ninja Tune. both are pretty weak, when will Dilla be left to rest in peace? another cd of remixes too poor to come out originally is disappointint from whoever is running his estate these days, dont they realise that by continually releasing more and more weak shit then the good shit just becomes further diluted and meaningless...have a think. The daedulus shit pissed me off to, i picked up a 12 not so long ago with 2 heavy tracks on, sadly they were the only 2, big bass wonky style hip-hop/new beat generation sounds, really forward looking, imagine my disappointment on buying the cd and finding out all the other tracks are analgouey sounding house nonsense...gonna stick to buying MP3's i reckon, then you can HEAR stuff first...

still found this site with free loopers to download so not to annoyed in the scheme of things

a busy weekend of scratching awaits me so i'm signing off for now

A Hiatus


So after a few weeks out (sorry) i've finally got the internet sorted out at my new house, blame a combination of Sky and those fuckwits at BT, a shocking combination but still.

Excitement abounds with shows on the 31st at Hoochinoo (Vibe Bar), 8th August at Soundcrash (Cargo) and finally a weekend hols at Hip Hop Kemp...oi oi

So to celebrate the return of the internet to my life here's some pictures of my new lab

Countryside Eastery

Another bloody weekend of no music, i've got shitloads to do but seem to keep putting everything off. This time it was off to a little village up north to see me Nan for some easter eating and stuff, always a treat having proper roast beef and yorkshire puds. What is it with little old ladies though? they seem to have asbestos hands, i wouldnt have been suprised to see her lift the meat out the oven with her bare hands....

So back in London again and this week i really need to get this album finished and mixed, it's beyond a joke now. 12 tracks are pretty much done i just need to put the polish on em...looking forward to it, everyone thats heard the rough version of the album has been positive about it so..photoshoot at the end of April as well so it needs to be sorted asap!

Moaning: I got hyped up that there was a new some new Red Dwarf ish popping off over the weekend so set it to record. WHAT A PILE OF TOSS, although craig charles doesnt seem to have been hit too bad by the crack anyways lol

Got myself a check shirt today, feel like an utter sell out but looking good...at least i'll fit in in shoreditch..meh

so on a skate tip, here's that pee-narse Sheckler doing a ridiculously massive kickflip



and on a hip-hop tip, lovin this tune again...i see ghosts dance in the trail of my weed smoke

Quiet Weekends and Memorials

Having been pretty much more stressed than I've ever been in my entire life me n wifey managed to sneak out to the countryside for a quiet weekend of family stuff. For a change we managed to stay in on friday night, every previous journey out West then we've ended up getting smashed in Friday night and not getting to bed until silly o'clock which always ensures a miserable hanging journey and a miserable weekend...

This time was different, we got up good and early and beat all the traffic and managed to hit teh west country by 10:30 b 12:00 we were safely camped out in a vegetarian restaurant in Glastonbury having vege burgers and pear cider, get in...i'll say this for hippies, they might be work shy smelly bastards but they know how to relax

Today was the memorial lunch for my little sister who was murdered 10 years ago this weekend. r.i.p Ashleigh you are always in my thoughts.
