Amazing

I’m not entirely sure this was the best choice for the next single, 'Robocop' needs a release already!

Hype Williams did well with the video though, it’s Hype though, did you expect less?

I still prefer the bootleg video Gingerkid and his boys over at Tropical TV put together...

I'm amazing.

In For The Kill

So, which mix is best?

Skream's dubstep remix...



or High Contrasts dnb edit?



I myself can't choose, i'm in love with both.

Shifty



The first video to feature Plan B (remember him?) in a long while, i'm sure i'm not the only one that misses his music.

All three of the guys come correct on their verses, each with a different style, but it still works, who IS that on the hook though?

The film this tune is taken from looks pretty promising too, we'll see i suppose...

Eminem Is Back.



Okay, so i hate that he's using the same rap style he used on Akon's 'Smack That', but this is the first single from the new album after all, couldn't expect less really.

He's back to his old self though for sure, too many names to mention get rinsed in this video.

The album 'Relapse' is out on the 19th May, but i hear it may get pushed forwards a week.

Boat/Deck Shoes

It seems that the big footwear fashion this year (I say this year but thinking about it loads of people were wearing last year too) is boat shoes! ''Often made of canvas or featuring a white sole. They have soft soles/heels to avoid marring or scratching a boat deck. The first boat shoe was invented in 1935 by Paul Sperry.'' What was originally worn by your dad or grandad is now all over catwalks and the highstreet. Last summer I bought a pair of Vans Zapto Del Barcos (Vans take on the boatshoe) but they fell apart on the first wear, same thing aparently happened to everyone else that had bought a pair. Luckily I picked up a pair of supermarket brand ones in France for about 10 euros when I was on holiday and they've lasted well!

The amount of entries on hypebeast just goes to show their growing popularity, with big names like Collete, Converse and even Billionaire Boys Club getting in on the action

Leeds & Reading


So this will be my 5th leeds festival and with this line up, probably the best. Highlights for me inlucde the one and only Ian Brown, Radiohead, Placebo & The Prodigy. Hopefully the rest of the line up with continue to please, in particular the dance tent! I'm dissapointed to see that Justice and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. probably aren't playing but there's still hope I guess. I saw them both at last years festival and they were incredible. Going mental and non-stop crowd surfing at Justice is something i'll never forget. Neither is chilling out on a grassy hill with a nice cold cider and the sun shining with my mates at Get Cape.

On a completely different note im currently listening to :







I love it when one man/woman bands use a loopstation to create a sound asif its being played by a bunch of people & it adds a whole new level to beatboxing.

''Armed only with a flute, a mandolin, a loopstation effects pedal and a microphone she's put together a showcase of several of her self-produced tracks into one compact little package.''

Inside all of us is a wild thing.



Having grown up with 'Where The Wild Things Are' I was keen to see it was going to be adapted into a film. From what i've read the storyline has somewhat strayed from the original but hopefully Spize Jonze will do a good job of showing the magic of the book, in the film.

Everybody's Talking, Nobody's Listening!

01. Intro
02. Low Blow
03. The TakeOver (feat. MC Dynamite)
04. Marmite
05. Riot Powder Intro (feat. Rod Azlan)
06. Riot Powder
07. Lon-Don City (feat. Uncle Sam)
08. The Terminator
09. Rat-A-Tat-Tat (feat. MC Dynamite)
10. Victoria's Secret (feat. D1)
11. I Beat My Robot
12. Disco Jaws



My god this album is huge, i'm not up for giving a full review but all anybody needs to know is that it's off the heeeezy! High lights for me are Victoria's Secret with some beautiful saxaphone in there & London City featuring some nice vocals from Uncle Sam. Caspa's done well in putting both chilled dubstep and some heavier stuff on the album. The only thing I'd change is the lack of vocals over Riot Power, it would have been better if he'd put Rod Azlan over the full track on not just the intro.

A heavy bassline is my kind of silence...



This tune is, quite frankly, bonkers!

Can see this being HUGE

Calvin Harris - I'm Not Alone (Deadmau5 Remix)



I gotta admit, i'm not really a fan of the original of this tune - even though most people love it, but i am proper feeling this remix. It's out April 6th.

Alix Perez - Im Free



New banger from Alix Perez, with Kemo on the vocals.

BIGNESS.

Man Like Me



Wow, this beat is doing it right now, so perfect for this weather.
Such a perfect ode to the days gone by, 1999, the garage hayday!

This is my favourite tune of the year so far, easily!

Snoop Dogg Millionaire



I honestly don't know what to think of this, the exposure for dubstep surely can't do any harm but this song sounds so scrambled with the vocals double track over an already cluttered beat.
