Giggs "Whippin' All Day"

Brand new heat from Hollowman, whose album "Let Em Have It" will be dropping later this year. Normally his monotone flow can get a little tiresome, but the more I listen to his music, the more I'm liking it (his music, that is)...

Giggs' new single, "Don’t Go There" is now available on iTunes.

Killer Mike Feat. Ludacris & The Game "Still My N***a"

Nice little cut here from Killer Mike....y'know, the dude who did that "A.D.I.D.A.S." joint a few years back, which was hot for about, what, 2 weeks?

Anyhow, this track is worth checking out...Luda & The Game both drop solid guest verses.

Mishka Presents: Keep Watch Vol. 16 - DJ Craze

The latest DJ to grace the decks for Mishka's excellent "Keep Watch" series is none other than Miami's DJ Craze.

A 6x world Champion, Craze is the only DJ to have won the DMC World Championships 3 times consecutively, a feat that's still yet to be matched by any other turntablist. This mix contains a heavy selection bass-heavy club music, ranging from Tropical to Dubstep, plus a variety of guest tracks such as Señor Stereo and Klever, which are later to be released on his Slow Roast Records label.

With numerous releases under his belt for respected labels such as Breakbeat Kaos, Cartel Recordings, Ninja Tune and OM Records, and with more to come this year, expect a lot of big things from Craze.

DJ Cable Vs. Ludacris & Starkey "How Low, Luv? (THUGSTEP Blend)

It's about time I hit you with another Thugstep blend. You may recognise this one from my January Podcast; imo it worked so well, that I decided to make a full blend out of it. Fully tagged, encoded at 320kbps...Vocals kick in after 32 bars, giving you a chance to mix/double drop properly.

As the acapella didn't come with a chorus, I had to make one using a section of the first verse. Turned out pretty well!

Romo - ShowUpShowOff.com Freestyle (Video)

BONUS! Interview on Crack Distributors Radio:

DJ Cable & DJ Hotpoint Present: "Heavy Petting" - The Valentine's Mixtape

No, the bears are NOT me and DJ Hotpoint.

Seeing as it's Valentine's Day this Sunday, we decided to put together a selection of Slow Jams, plus some R&B, Soul and Hip Hop classics that should get you in the mood for some good ol' fashioned sexy time with your partner(s) this weekend.

There were a whole load of other joints that we wanted to fit in, such as Smooth "Undercover Lover", Keith Sweat "Nobody", even some Bobby Brown and Babyface; however I think we've provided you with a smooth mix.

Kudos to whoever gets busy to this mix (especially during the bonus track). Enjoy!

Cypress Hill "It Ain't Nothin" (Music Video)

Cypress Hill are back with a banger!

I was going to include this on January's Podcast, but ran out of time. Rest assured it'll make an appearance this month...

Rihanna "Rude Boy" (Music Video)

It's a catchy song, but it's all about the video...

Aaliyah "One In A Million (Belief Remix)"

Super-chilled remix of Aaliyah's classic slow jam. Well worth checking out.

Ludacris Feat. Nicki Minaj "My Chick Bad"

Another cut from Luda's "Battle Of The Sexes", which has now got a confirmed release date of March 9th.

Fairly decent guest verse from Nicki, although she really needs to stop putting on those silly voices...

Wiley Feat. Emeli Sande "Never Be Your Woman" (Shy FX Mix) (Music Video)

Shy FX comes through with a heavy B-More/Electro-influenced remix of Wiley's forthcoming single, which is available on iTunes 28th February.

Wiley + catchy hook + cheeky sample + Lyn Collins break = Win. It's a perfect formula, so hopefully it'll chart higher than "Take That".

Damn, that White Town sample definitely brings back some memories...

D.Julien On Good*Fella Radio (Video)

D.Julien passes through for a chat and another solid freestyle.



BONUS! YC The Cynic ft. Final Outlaw & D.Julien "The Bad Seed"

Check out this heavy cut from YC's "You're Welcome, which drops next week. Mad props for going in over the "Devil's Son" instrumental!

Deal The Villain "EPic"

Rock The Dub is definitely doing the damn thing right now. Not only is Khal running a heavy blog, he's also branched out into running two digital labels, RTDLTD for Dubstep/D&B/Electronica, and RTD for Hip Hop.

The first release on RTD is from Deal The Villain, with his debut album "EPic".

Packed full of solid material from start to finish, this is well worth picking up. I could go on for ages about how his rhymes are packed full of dope cultural & TV-show references, or how great the production is, but in short you can definitely tell Deal is doing his own thing; a breath of fresh air since a lot of artists are still jumping on bandwagons and following trends. Need more convincing? Check out the video below:

.

Deal The Villain's "EPic" is now available from iTunes, Juno Download, 7Digital & Amazon, with more outlets to be confirmed soon.

Kardinal Offishall "We Gon' Go" (Music Video)

Looking forward to the "Mr. International" album.

Jaylib Vs. J Rocc

Stones Throw have gone into their archives and dug out this tasty little mix, which was compiled by J Rocc back in 2003, containing a great selection of Dilla, Madlib and Jaylib tracks, as well as some of their sources...

Vinyl junkies may remember that the Jaylib section was pressed up on 45, and was released as the bonus 45 with the Champion Sound LP, whilst there were a few promo copies of this mix floating around on CD. So for those who missed out, here's another chance to cop this mix.
