This is a masterpiece, lyrically and musically........nothing else to say, just listen:

Mungo's Hi-Fi @ Shambala Festival, Canada - 2008

Grabbed this last night and it's a pretty tasty selection from Scotland's premier soundsystem. If big riddims, fat basslines and non-annoying MCs are your thing, then you'll enjoy this..........

Dubstep's 40 best tracks - by Rob da Bank & Rusko......

This isn't a definitive list, nor does it claim to be, but it's pretty damn good all the same. With such a variety of sounds having influenced dubstep, and so many different style emerging from within the scene, Rob and Rusko had a tough task, but they've certainly given it a good go. Well worth checking out for newcomers to the genre, or for old heads who want to reminisce - turn up those bassbins...................

Crank's Video of the Day...........

This track has been around for over 18 months now, but it's only in the last 24 hours that I've found out what it's called, and, more importantly,remembered how FUCKING AWESOME it is. I challenge any lover of electronic music not to like this. It was released on the Dub Police label, so obviously's it's 'technically' a dubstep track, but it's got all the lushness of a downtempo Balearic-style track, and a sooting, non-cheesey vocal sample that many a deep-house producer would be glad to get their hands on - in a word, sublime:

Ireland's best (Polish) DJ.........

Saw this guy at last year's Life Festival in Galway and he played one of the best sets of the weekend (one of my favourite sets of the whole year, to be honest). In fact he was so good that, after standing in the tent where he was playing for a while, we were convinced that it was Matt Black, From Coldcut, who Matjazz was warming up for, so good was his selection and mixing. Anyway, you can take a listen now and judge for yourselves - enjoy...............

Polish export Matjazz has sent me one hell of a mix for his Chop Shop debut, dude has been doing his thing up in Dublin for some time now and gotten himself quite a following. For those of you outside of the capital who might not of heard of him yet have a little read of this; “I was born in highly industrialised Silesia, in south of Poland. Surrounded by communist block of flats, I was quickly exposed to the old school hip-hop movement. Although, I tried to spray some graffiti pieces, however, I realised that music is the medium in which I want to express myself. At the end of the 90’s together with couple of friends, we started djing in Jazz Club Fantom. Apart from hip-hop, we mixed releases from Ninja Tune and MoWax. Also, a huge influence had Polish Jazz on me, especially, that most of the artists come from my area, for example Big Band Katowice. The main problem during those times was the availability of vinyls on the Polish market. That’s why I often travelled to Holland to work there over a summer and to spend all my saved money just to expand my collection and bring some fresh sounds to the Silesian scene. In 2002, Jazz Club Hipnoza was opened in Katowice, and with it the possibility to support many Polish as well as international artists, like The Herbaliser, Dj Food & DK, Dj Vadim, Skalpel, to name just a few. However, the stepping stone was when I moved to Dublin in 2004. Straight on, together with Dj Stu, we set up Breakology and have started to organise gigs in Dublin. Later on I started to co-operate with Dj Lex Woo and Mc Little Tree, spinning more tropical and afrobeat sounds. Together with Dj Jazzbin and Dj Handsome Paddy we set up nights called Go 4 It, where we mix on 4 decks. The huge mixture of people that I met in Ireland, their cultures, and music that they play has got a massive influence on which music I mix. I am open to a massive variety of music sounds and try to show it in my sets. This mix is just a fraction of what I play, so check the website for forthcoming productions. And now enjoy it “

Just a thought............

I've noticed some randomers on Facebook in the last week saying how upset they were by Grey's Anatomy; some even professing to having shed tears because of it's 'tragic' storyline. Now, I know fuck all about Grey's Anatomy, other than it's a medical drama on T.V. - which has obviously reached it's conclusion for this season in the usual way these things tend to: a typically cliched, overly-dramatic emotional-rollercoater scenario - what I don't understand is how these morons can get so upset about a fictional show, yet are seemingly oblivious to the very real tragedies in the world: when's the last time you say someone on Facebook (or anywhere else, fo that matter) expressing their anguish about Third World Debt, The AIDS epidemic in Africa, civilians being bombed by the Yanks in Afghanistan, or the 300 or more homeless people sleeping on the streets of our capital every night of the year?? Just a thought.





Not so pretty........very fucking vacant.
