Devlin Feat. Yasmin "Runaway" (Radio Rip)



We've been waiting ages to finally hear what the homegirl Yasmin sounds like on a record, and suffice to say she does not disappoint! From the production, to Devlin's verse and Yasmin's amazing vocals, this is a quality piece of music.

Both artists are going to be huge.

Remembering DJ AM...



It's crazy to think it's exactly a year since DJ AM passed away.

The impact this guy had on the DJ world was crazy; so much so, that I'd say he definitely paved the way for mashup/multi-genre DJ-ing in general. This guy had undeniable talent.

R.I.P. DJ AM.

P.S. I'm still loving the fact he had a cameo in Iron Man 2.

HotOneTen & Bad Intentions Carnival Parties This Weekend!



Carnival weekend is almost here in London, and whilst there are a load of events going on, you really should make note of these two down in your diary; not just because I'm DJ-ing (well, you should come along to see me anyways), but because both lineups are simply ridiculous

Following on from the success of HotOneTen's last sell-out party at Corsica Studios, they're teaming up once again with Marco Del Horno’s (Rinse FM) Bullet Train Records to bring you another epic party...

Expect a full on carnival bash complete with outdoor BBQ (8pm-10:30pm) and an X-Box Street Fighter 4 Battle on the roof terrace all for £5. That's a pretty fucking good deal if I say so myself!

Lineup:

NEWHAM GENERALS LIVE (D Double E & Footsie)
El-B (Ghost Recordings/Groove Chronicles)
MARCO DEL HORNO (Rinse FM)
DJ YASMIN (Bad Intentions)

London
N1 6LP

Don't know who D Double E is? Check the videos below...





The following day, I'll be spinning at Yasmin's Bad Intentions Carnival Party at The Chepstow. The lineup for this is also huge; she's even got D&B masters Future Cut in for a guest DJ set too! Expect a mish mash of everything Urban, topped off with some Carnival vibes...



Being the nice person that she is, Yasmin has also just uploaded a sick new mixtape. Packed with a load of heat ranging from Dubstep, to Bmore, Tropical, House and Electro, as well as some of her own re-edits, this is well worth checking out!

A Tribe Called Quest at Rock The Bells (West Coast) (Video)

Macca "Reborn" Mixtape



Shouts to Macca who's just released his debut mixtape for free download. Stay Fresh have been on point this year with quality releases such as the Wooooo Riddim EP, and they show no signs of slowing down anytime soon...

Featuring recent heat alongside brand new material, and with guest features from artists such as Frisco, Trilla, and Stay Fresh members J-1 & Menace, and also production from the likes of Moky, S-X, DVA, Speedy, this is one solid mixtape. If you're a fan of this thing called Grime, then you need this in your life.

Air Jordan II "Candy" Pack



The Jordan brand continues to retro it's collection of classic sneakers, and this time around, they've decided to release the Jordan II shoe in yet another selection of bold colours. Dubbed the "Candy" pack (as well as the "Rasta" pack), we're given a choice of red, yellow, and green; which I have to say is my favourite out of the three.

The shoes will be hitting select Jordan accounts on October 30th.

Fall 2010 Preview from 10 Deep on Vimeo.



A quick glimpse of what's to come this fall... Judging by the footage, we can expect a nice selection of shirts, jackets and denim...

Extra kudos for using Company Flow's "8 Steps To Perfection" as the soundtrack too...

Free Music from Frisco & Griminal

Time for some free music...



First up, here's a free 11 track EP from Boy Better Know's Frisco. People forget how dope this guy actually is when it comes to spitting; in my opinion, he's highly underrated. Packed full of heat, the EP shows he's just as comfortable flowing over Hip Hop, as he is when it comes to Grime.

Standout tracks include "Keepin' It G'd Up", "Mad Ting", "Freestyle Rally" (big up Stay Fresh!), and "Ring The Alarm".

Download the EP HERE



Next up, here's some freeness from Griminal. Alongside Maxta, he's one of the younger artists that is currently carrying the torch for the Grime scene. Tracks three, four and five are well worth checking out...

01. Hello Good Morning Freestyle

Giggs "Hustle On" (Music Video)



Easily one of the best tracks off "Let Em Ave It" in my opinion, which also featured on June's Podcast.

Idriss Elba (aka Stringer Bell from The Wire) also makes an appearance in the video.

This Saturday, I'll be spinning at the Mixcloud Summer Meetup, at the Big Chill House from 7:30pm - 8:30pm.

Here's a nice, chilled out cut from Cudi, taken from Perajok's G.O.O.D. Ass Mixtape, which drops tomorrow...

I haven't been the biggest fan of the last two Kanye joints that leaked online (peep Nah Right to hear them), but like many, I'm interested to hear what his new album will sound like...

Caspa & Mr. Hudson "Love Never Dies" (Music Video)



I'm a fan of the original instrumental, Back For The First Time, but this version with the vocals is wack...I'm not feeling it at all..

I'm pretty sure it'll get caned on radio, and all the daytime presenters will no doubt think it's amazing, but seriously... Mr. Hudson doesn't suit this type of record. Caspa should have just left it as it is - a good club record minus the crap vocals...

Redlight Feat. Ms. Dynamite "What You Talking About" (Music Video)



One of favourite club tunes at the moment. The original instrumental, MDMA is an absolute monster of a beat, and Ms. Dynamite has done a pretty good job spitting over the top. Saying that, I still prefer to play the instrumental, but both versions tear down the club easily...

If you're a regular reader, you may recognise this from June's Podcast.

DJ Cable Vs. JME, Tempz & Noah D "CD Is Seeeriousssly Dead" (Preview)



Following DJ Nappy's recent return to the DJ-ing, and all things Thugsteppery, I thought I'd give you lot a little taster as to what to expect from the forthcoming Fuck Thugstep Vol. 2 mixtape from myself & Rock The Dub – This blend sees JME & Tempz go over Noah D’s Dubstep anthem from last year…

The mix should be out next month; you can expect the usual hybrid of Dirty South & Grime acapellas over Dubstep, plus some exclusive stuff too!

P.S. If you haven't already peeped Vol. 1, do so now!

BONUS! Lil Jon Feat. Ice Cub Vs. Rusko "Roll Call" DJ Nappy THUGSTEP Refix)

M.I.A. "XXXO" (Music Video)



This tune has been killing it in the clubs recently...especially the remix featuring Jay-Z.

Produced by the one and only Rusko too...

Traktor Turntable Tricknology with DJ Shiftee (Video)



World-renowned DJ, sandwich critic and Harvard Math grad (yes, that's right) Shiftee is back with another awesome video, demonstrating the possibilities of Native Instruments' Traktor Scratch Pro, ultising their Maschine and X1 controllers.

The video sees him cutting up the bassline and acapella to Dead Prez' classic anthem Hip Hop over Caspa's Dub Warz. I'd go into more detail, but being the considerate person he is, Shiftee has also made a separate video explaining his routine...



Great stuff. He may be a 2x DMC World Champion, but I'd still kick his ass in a snack-based culinary battle, haha!

Diddy & Dirty Money Feat. Skepta "Hello Good Morning" (Grime Remix)



Logan Sama gave this remix the world premier on his Kiss 100 show last night.

Despite the fact that I think Diddy is a substandard rapper, this is a massive look for Grime scene. The US music industry has been taking influence from UK sounds for a while now, and it's great to see one of Hip Hop's biggest artists jump on a Grime remix, with one of the scene's best MCs.

Big up Skepta!
