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
