Friday, I'll be spinning in Manchester at One Central. The lineup for this looks dope; guaranteed it'll be a messy one with the Murkage lot too!

Gigs this weekend...

Some shameless self-promo/dates for your diary.

Tonight, I'll be at POW! in Norwich for their 3rd Birthday party, which features Ms. Dynamite, Rattus Rattus & Klose One, plus a live DVDJ set from my pals from the good ol' days back in Bristol... The Urban Knights.



Then tomorrow, as part of winning the Dogs on Acid x Urban Art Forms competition, I'll be in Austria at the Urban Art Forms Festival in Austria, playing in the D&B tent. Be sure to check out the festival's site for the full lineup. It's sick.

Tomorrow Night: "ISH" @ La Raza, Cambridge

It's nice to get a gig where I can play the type of Hip Hop that I'm into....Tomorrow is one of those nights..

If you're in the Cambridge area, come down to La Raza and have a boogie. Push & Feinty know how to throw a good party!

"GOONIES" @ The Rainbow, Birmingham w/ Roll Deep - Tonight!

Birmingham's most hype club night, GOONIES is back for another installment of heavy basslines and gun fingers This time around, they've got legendary Grime outfit Roll Deep on the bill...

I love playing at this rave; The organisers can literally just put an event invite out of Fassybook, do some word of mouth promo, and it'll be a sellout. That how they roll...

Tonight's lineup features:

ROLL DEEP

DJ CABLE (HOT 110)

DJ KARNAGE

STANDFAST

GINGERKID (GOONIES)

PASCAL WRAY

SKANKBOY (GUTTERSKANK)

GRIZZ 1 (GOONIES)

My Gigs this week...

Some more shameless self promo yet again!

Tomorrow, I'll be back at GOONIES in Birmingham. This is the last one of 2010, and with such a ridiculous lineup, you'd be silly to miss out if you're in the area!



This is how it went down last time...



As soon as my set finishes, I'll be heading straight to the airport to catch my flight to Stockholm for the Vice Magazine 5th Birthday bash...Definitely looking forward to this one!



Saturday, I'll be back at Liquid in Colchester doing my thing for all the urban/R&B heads. Then on Sunday, I'm back at BAD INTENTIONS in Camden. It's DJ Yasmin's birthday, so be sure to come down and celebrate with us lot!



I'll do my best to take some pics/vids as well...

BAD INTENTIONS This Sunday @ The Black Heart

After a two week hiatus, Bad Intentions is back this Sunday (6th Dec), at The Black Heart in Camden. DJ Yasmin only started this a few weeks back, and since then the night has gained a strong following, mainly due to its friendly vibe, good atmosphere, and above all else...ridiculously good music.

This Sunday sees Yasmin, myself, DJ Swerve & DJ B providing the best in Hip Hop & R&B from the 90's/early 00's...maybe some Dancehall as well...

It's also FREE entry, so you'd be silly not to come down and do the running man with us lot.

Expect tunes such as these:

Back from Poland!

Sorry for the delay chaps, but after 2 days' worth of no sleep, traveling to Poland, and fitting in 3 gigs...I've been a little under the weather...

Anyhow, the IDA World Finals were erm....pretty interesting to say the least....Shiftee was robbed of 1st place, whilst Switch didn't even make it past the prelims (WTF?!)....I'll leave it at that...

Other than that, the competition was well-organized, and was one of the nicest venues I've performed at this year - A giant cinema in the middle of a shopping mall in Warsaw, with free beer, Red Bull and canapes....tasty....

Unfortunately my camera battery died after taking the above photo, so I'll have to wait until Loop has uploaded his pics.

Ill Bill, Zion I, Stig and Syntax gig at Jamm, Brixton.

Tuesday, December 16, 2008

261 Brixton Road, Brixton. Click here for Map
Doors at 7pm.
£12.50 advance from www.wegottickets.com

ILL BILL (Non Phixion / La Coka Nostra) featuring BIG LEFT (La Coka Nostra) + DJ ILLEGAL (Snowgoons)
ZION I (Hailing from California USA - First ever UK Show!)
STIG & SYNTAX
JACK FLASH

An eclectic line up featuring the cream of US underground hiphop and the UK’s best up and comers. Brooklyn to The Bay and back to Brixton!

Ill Bill is a Brooklyn hiphop legend who has worked with everyone from DJ Premier to Bad Brains, MF Doom to Slayer; a fierce MC with an intellect to match. After solidifying his big dog status on the underground with his former group Non Phixion’s classic The Future is Now, Bill has since been grinding out solo projects (incl. 2008’s amazing The Hour of Reprisal) that showcase his intricate flows and subject matter that falls somewhere between the best socio-political efforts of the 90’s and his brother Necro’s psychosis fuelled violence and bongo flick narratives . The self proclaimed ‘2011 Melle Mel’ is also one of the founders of La Coka Nostra and on this night is joined by mic bludgeoner Big Left also from the aforementioned supergroup (also includes House of Pain and others).

Zion I hail from Oakland CA and in the tradition of the Bay Area, a microcosm of any and every kind of hiphop, they’re very much in their own lane. Bringing sunshine to a cold Brixton, they make the kind of music that reminds you why you fell in love with hiphop; Jamm is honoured to be hosting their first UK show! The duo of MC Zumbi and producer Amplive are about to drop their 6th album (The Takeover) including a fonky collab with the UK’s own Jamie Lidell and the 808 slap of single Juicy Juice, already rattling trunks worldwide. NOT BE MISSED!

Stig & Syntax aka Fatty and Speccy - the Beer & Rap bombers have gotten themselves a rep for smashing live shows, parlaying a wicked sense of humour through ricockulous flows and takin’ no shorts. Who said hiphop from the UK isn’t fun?

Jack Flash is an End of the Weak alum whose star has been on the rise in 2008. After guesting on projects by Jehst and DJ IQ among others, his debut album The Union Jack dropped this year to critical acclaim.
