good looking video, takes us nicely back to fix up look sharp...check out another great dizzie moment below...



"who got that on their camera???" loool

Check out his album... out on monday and his trainers exclusively at the nike store in Shoreditch.

The future of dance... and every other dj format

Every Dj I know was going mad and having an orgasm about the new Pionners so I blogged it for you. The best bit is when he says "so you will never miss a beat"... oh the cheese.

The decks do look sexy and now you wont be able to spot the dj come into the club with a box or a man bag full of cds. The DJ hardwear game is going to love this...

enjoy..

that had to hurt....



whiplash anybody... from a medical point of view the fall was not actually funny, but the kid has got one rock solid cranium... good on ya Kido.

Dubble Trubble volume 2...
What would we do? Usually drink, usually dance, usually bubble? why not...

This edition leaves London again... call it a lastminute.com summer holiday.

we are heading up to Leicester to make Kontakt... with Kontakt. Set your system to pick up some alien sounds.


SR: So Mr Kontakt what ends are you from?
K: I'm originally from Shrewsbury over by Wolverhampton, moved to Leicester in '98 and been here ever since.


SR: What is your hood like? Is it love or hate?
K:I live in Aylestone, it's a up and coming area with a good sense of community.

SR: Must be Love.... What would you change bout it if you were Gordon B.?
K: lol. Not too much to change round Aylestone. In general I’d sort out Leicester council.... they haven’t got a clue!

SR: sack em all I say, I'd vote you for MP... how healthy is the Dub scene up in the North...?
K: From a Leicester perspective, it's always had a strong underground music scene, but as for dubstep.. I started Kontakt in early '06 after going to FWD and Heavyweight Rocksteady. The first one I put on was in a pub, it was an all-dayer called 'Pubstep' with about 25 / 30 people there, I saw it could work, named it Kontakt then it just grew and it's still here today.

SR: How did you get into Dub... and who makes the best Dub on the planet... ?
K: Around early '05 a friend of mine called Jay bought a dubstep / 140bpm mix round to my house and I was hooked, started buying 12's, heard about FWD (when it was on a Thursday) started going there and over to Geiom's night in Notts, then to DMZ.... the rest is history. Best dub on the planet.... all the people pushing things forward and not getting caught in the mud.

SR: Big up Jay everytime...Are there any current releases?
K: Not from me, I just DJ but there's too much talent around Leicester, dubstep wise... Bar 9, Rob Sparx, Rebel, John Maveric, Melly, Tec-ho, MSB, Luthor, Ralfabetix, Dise Beats, Doji..... All the above are making quality music.

SR: OK, in that case where can people catch you mixing..?
K: 'Kontakt' (1st Friday of the month) @ Sophbeck Sessions, 'Hubstep' (every Thursday) @ The Hub, and anywhere else thats booked me.... (PROMOTERS - BIG WINK, NUDGE, NUDGE)


SR: I hear you guys have got a carnival up in Leicester but what kind of mix would you play at Notting Hill carnival this year...?
K: It was Leicester carnival Aug 1st, If i was playing at Notting Hill it would have to be party music all the way.... Funky / Tribal / Soca infused bass music.

SR: About this mix you sent out... when is the best time to listen to it?
K: Anytime of day or night.


SR:What makes U too hood to care star?
K: Just being me...

Shout outs to...
- Julia and family, All the Aylestone and West End peoples, The Kontakt regulars, The Notts steppers, Salop, Everyone who has created this thing named dubstep !

--------------------------

"Good Artists Shine, Great Artists Steal Shine" or talent copies, but genius steals.


What has this got to do with the clothing line? Without sounding narcissistic, before Too Hood To Care Star hit the streets no one was using that slogan to its full potential. Then all of a sudden there were two.

Too Hood To Care Star and Star in the Hood. Which one you veer towards depends maybe on who you are.

These two brands often get confused for obvious reasons. It is great that Tinchy Stryder is making moves because it opens doors for the whole of the UK. SO it is time to lay to rest the rumour that he copied or remixed the slogan on the Too Hood tee… it is all coincidental, however the fact remains that all the good artists borrow, but the best ones take an idea and make it epic.

It is a given process, any person whom believes it is not is most likely covering up for some sort of plagiarism; it is a given process, one even these tees are also guilty as charged with. In late 2006, I came across a tee, which had the slogan – Too Hood to Care.

My first thought was that the shirt had been sent to me by some divine method, seeing as that week the guys had a set at a rave and needed new attire. Now all I had to do now was get some for free. The response from the company that made the tee was not the desired one, so the tee had to be bootlegged; admittedly I did this with no shame. The bootleg was more relevant as it represented the group more so.

So I stole, sorry - remixed the idea and it became much more prolific than the original tee… After the feed back from the tee returned it was apparent that there was no point borrowing the idea.

Unfortunately the tees created to promote the group outlived the group itself. As we all know, Hood Stars are not together as they were at their peak, the formation has changed a bit, but they are still the best team in the scene. Most ideas come from a flow of energy that results in a moment of insightfulness. There is no denying that the energy needed to create this epic slogan came from bouncing off the Infamous Hoodstars, nevertheless insight is what it is regardless.

Right now Too Hood To Care Star is being taken care of by its umbrella brand StarRich Couture. Just as with the Hoodstars situation, the brand is still building links in all the creative “street” arts and trying to support artists that are controversial or that have something to say and want to make history not be a part of it.

Whether that means taking something and making it better or making something from scratch…I hope this article, the mix from DJ Jawzy and the brand at large, in turn influences a change in you to do something epic, although the slogan does read Too Hood To Care Star it does not subtitle as Too Ignorant to Change.

Stay Bless, Get StarRich.

DJ FURIOUS AND DJ MAGIC MIXTAPES....



I got these off grime forum and then wondered should a man of my age be reading grime forum? Apparently they have a wider demographic then I knew... a few of my mates my age and older read it.. say no more eh..

The Furious Mixtape is kinda older than the Magic mixtape but is still a good collection of tracks, also there is a half hour Tim and Barry studio set with Chip, Max, Ice and Little D. - TRACK TO CHECK - TALK OF THE TOWN by ICE.

link to Furious tape.
http://www.mediafire.com/?0zcgzjga9zd

DJ Magics tape is to promote his No Hats No Hoods Release, the mix has got some old school bangers on it, Like Chip on that garage remix of the lighter tune and Fris on Melody. Some of you young guys will probably never have seen these in vinyl form... all cos of itunes.

here is the linkage, Thanks you Hij.
