2ND CLASS CITIZEN

I am proud to be giving you a lovely Sunday treat today by the amazing

2nd class citizen.If you have not had the pleasure of hearing any of his music then today's your lucky day.This track which has been kindly given to us from the man himself is taken from the album wyred folk,which mixes the darkest of beats, the haunting backdrops of folk,scuzzy guitar and that crackle and air from hours spent digging for those unique sounds.If your feeling fragile toady from too much abuse from last night then this will be just the tonic for you.Do your self's a big favour and support this artist,this has to be one of the best things i have heard in a longtime,so much so that this is the album DJ Shadow should have made instead of that poor effort he made last time.

PS CHECK OUT HIS MYSPACE PAGE AND ENJOY

THE MORNING SUN

I work and function much better first thing in the morning,i guess its the start of another day and while the weather is getting better there is something beautiful getting up early to catch the morning sun,feels like I'm taking a trip down memory lane this morning,enjoy it while you can.I feel this sums up my summer of love and would gladly use the word seminal.Put the kettle on and grab ya self a coffee and take 5 minutes before you go to work

WHY I LOVE HIP HOP

When the sun is shinning,there is nothing better than a hip hop tune to get ya reminiscing,seems a while that there has been anything in the world of hip hop to get me excited then Master Ace with the help of Marco Polo goes and drops this..pure 1989 vibes......
Enjoy and Dont forget to get his album,out may the 15th

DJ ANDY SMITH

Firstly sorry for the random posting,and i think the links to downloads and such should now be working.So......
Good old Andy Smith,the Portishead tour DJ,half of Dynamo Productions,Compiler of some of the best funk and hip hop mixes,and his own compilations of boogaloo and Trojan stuff,makes him a hard working DJs DJ.If you have never caught Andy Smith playing out,then you must see him.
I had the privilege of catching him a few years back and he dropped such a diverse mix and never letting up.Playing his own productions,classic funk,hip hop and the odd pop moment to keep you on his toes.
Anyway here is his first proper mix called the document,featuring Marvin Gaye,Grandmaster Flash The Meters and so much more and if you check out his site there are many downloads to be had as well so don't sleep on this guy and in April he is playing at madame Jo Jo's in Soho on London with Keb Darge,two of the hardest working funk DJs out there

enjoy

FRIDAY TREATS PT1 LOST IDOL

Where do i start,LOST IDOL,an artist form the cookshop record label,who is fronted by none other than James Dean,who is Lost Idol.Not content on giving us this lovely experimental downbeat niceness,he also hosts a radio show on Totally Radio and also on Juice 107.2FM,and also guesting on Samurai FM,and Solid Steel,Ninja tunes radio show where he has delivered some fine mixes.This exclusive track never made it onto the album,which by the way you can get at http://www.kudosrecords.co.uk/.So sit back and relax,and contemplate what it would be like owning the album.
P.S
The list below is what the reviewers have said.
"Beck remixed by DJ Shadow..." 4/5 IDJ

"Lost Idol has an intuitive knowledge of the alchemical formulae that produce potent 21st century psychedelia" 4/5 Mojo

"Reminiscent of the atmospheric twink lings of the Cinematic Orchestra in places, and the mind-bending scuzzy sounds of Four Tet in others. Strange but beautiful" 4/5 Notion

"In case you ever wondered how an Elliott Smith record could've sounded like if it would've been released on Mo Wax during its heydays, here's your answer" 9.5/10 Record Of The Issue Lowdown

ENJOY...

Featuring Fontella Bass and new boy Patrick Watson,currently on tour around Europe and hitting England pretty soon as well.The Cinematic Orchestra can not be slept on,they are one of the few bands around that i have seen several times,and even albums like Everyday,just never seem to get tiresome.Check Ninja tune for ordering the album,and the link to your right to the official Cinematic Orchestra website,with full tour listings/photos and news.Here is the video to possibly my favourite all time song,"All that i give" The cinematic orchestra with Fontella Bass.
Enjoy

JOE BEATS TREATS

Here at the boombip(its easier to type)we are very pleased to give you,not one but two tracks,from JOE BEATS whos new album is called DIVERSE RECOURSE out on BULLY RECORDS.For those in the know,will know how much hype mr joe beats has been creating,for those who dont lets recap.......................................

Joe Beats stepped onto beat junkies’ radars in 2002 with his Non-Prophets production work on such mixtape classics as ‘Bounce’ / ‘Drop Bass’ (Fat Beats) and ‘All Word No Play’ / ‘Majority Rule’ (Landspeed). Enter the Non-Prophets Hope full-length (Lex Records) in 003, showers of critical acclaim, and the first saliva drips from beat fiends around the world waiting for more.

You best believe our hero proved that jeep music was back. Rhythms got flipped inside out, highlighting Joe’s penchant for intricate drum programming and melodic moodiness. Reverse Discourse in 2003 featured a collection of instrumentals done in a raw beat tape style showcasing rhythms composed for emcees, both phantom and real. Indie Rock Blues dropped in 2005, a free-flowing mix collage of Joe remixing some his favorite songs from groups like Belle & Sebastien, Neutral Milk Hotel, Deer Hoof and Songs:Ohia. The music blogosphere took notice, as did left-of-center hip hop producers. Due to its popularity, Beats’ remix of Cunninlynguists' 'Hellfire' caught some heat as a single, and prompted producer Maker to invite Joe on the split ‘Don't Front, I'm Yo Trophy’ 7" (Shake It Records) in Fall 06.
In the meanwhile, Joe's been busy perfecting his live show. Armed with gaggle of samplers, Beats rips apart his beats at the seams and stitches them together again in a mad display of on-stage trickery, sometimes with a DJ on the juggled cuts, sometimes with an emcee spitting some abstract poetic shit, sometimes just on solo steeze.

And as we said earlier,we have some treats from the man himself,and if this wets your appetite then head yourself over to http://www.bullyrecords.com/ and check their other stuff out,and while ya there purchase the album or two as well.
