Like Buddy Holly Meets Wu Tang…
Strange combination, you might agree. But it’s a fair one when describing the work of Willy Moon, a Kiwi singer/songwriter in his early 20s.
Paris Couture Week A/W 10-11 Highlights
This month Sarah indulges us with her personal highlights from Paris Couture Week. Christian Dior Haute Couture, autumnwinter 2010/11 and Jean Paul Gaultier Haute Couture, autumnwinter 2010/11 Now ready-to-wear is more my bag, but if I were cohabiting with a Sheik or Oligarch (sorry boyf, no offence), Haute Couture may be more so. Paris Haute [...]
Logan Sama’s June 2010 Round Up

B-Live’s ‘Modern Warfare’ EP is coming after those, then we have two producer [...]
Artist Feature: Skurge

Full up with Music clips and downloads, I got to hear what he’s got to offer [...]

Lewi White – Metal Face (New Release)
Grime stalwart and producer extraordinaire Lewi White has always had a sinister touch to his music. Listen to Ghetts’ ‘Freedom of Speech’ if you don’t believe me. Every time I listen to it I get nightmares. So it is with some apprehension that I blog about his new release, the fearsome dubstep smash ‘Metal Face.’ [...]
Klashnekoff – ‘Back to the Sagas’ Review
With a celebrated music career that has spanned over a decade yet gleaned only a handful of releases, UK rapper Klashnekoff (a.k.a. Darren Kandler) is a figure that commands both love and frustration in equal measure. His elusiveness and steadfast refusal to participate in industry politics has undoubtedly prevented him from wider success. However, in [...]

Logan Sama’s April 2010 Round Up
In terms of radio, Chosen Ones Part 2 was a great start to April. We worked with different MC’s and concepts this time, keeping the format fun and fresh. As I mentioned here last month, I wanted a Yardie set for Part 2 and I got one with Killa P, Badness, Shizzle and Jamakabi! It [...]

Interview with Gabriel Heatwave
I first discovered The Heatwave through a recorded set they did with Riko in 2007. Since then, I’ve been regularly checking their website for the latest Dancehall news, reviews and mixsets, which for me, have always been on point. Following their massive ’25 years of Dancehall’ mix on Rinse a few weeks ago, we at [...]
Unsung Heroes of The Hop.
Today, the late great Guru (17.07.66-19.04.10) I have vague memories of my twelfth birthday. I know there was a cake involved – that much is certain. There are however, some items that still remain with me. A collection of tapes that my dad would pass me with each celebration. Now, on this particular day, a [...]

My Year of Mixtapes
Yesterday a friend put me onto the blog of one Chrissy Murderbot, a ‘Chicago-based DJ/Producer in love with juke-rave-jungle-disco-dubstep-hi-NRG-gangsta-dancehall-ghetto-garage-core’. His blog, My Year of Mixtapes, is where Mr. Murderbot endeavours to post one free downloadable mixtape each week for an entire year. 52 weeks, 52 mixtapes. The sheer scope of different genres available is pretty [...]
