benga - diary of an afro warrior

[elgato]

legendary stuff, many thanks Paul, I've never heard the Plasticman one, looking forward to that!

this is such an amazing sound, love the styles

Just started listening to the Skream mix. Love it. It's really good mixed as well.

Does anyone knows if this stuff got released? Except for the tracks from the BA-Ep (Acid People, etc.) I didn't recognize much.

two of the tracks are early versions of Anger and Traitor - http://www.discogs.com/release/455594

the really rolling breaky one is Ain't It Cold? which is on this

a few off the various Big Apple EPs, but loads are unreleased i think

 

[gumdrops]

NICE ONE!

the days before plasticman got boring...

any luck boom

 

[boomnoise]

ah yes thanks for the reminder. i'll dig about again.



as for the benga album i can confirm the release date is March 10th

Gilles Peterson was on about getting Benga or Skream to do a collaboration with Nostalgia '77 which could be an interesting one... Why exactly he's so intent on sorting Nostalgia '77 with a dubstep collaboration I do not know.

actually in my previous post I was on about the Magnetic Man live tour - Artwork, Skream and Benga on 3 laptops. I was just being cagey as I didn't know if it was common knowledge at the time. Anyways it's in the public domain now and their tour starts next month I think.


back on topic, just received the vinyl version of the Benga LP last week and I'm not bowled over.

so is Magnetic Man all of them together or any of them at one time (if you see what i mean... is it a shared collective guise or a consistent collaboration)?

and do you happen to know the tracklist for the new LP? some of his new bits i'd love to see

as I understood it, the tunes were written by Artwork & Benga, but that's just what I've been told so I am happy to be corrected in this respect. The live show is all three - the Arts Council bought them all laptops so they could do a PA.

and no, i've only got a promo version so no tracklist as yet (and i'm really not up on my new Benga tunes enough to tell you them all).

i see. thats what i'd always figured, i wonder whether skream is involved with any tunes at all though

thanks boom. no Urban Fox :/ maybe a 12? but Pleasure, which is pleasing when he's good he's so so good

that would be a sick 12, i hope so. is Pleasure popular?

 

[Immryr]

a lot of people base their lives around it.



(sorry)

[Grievous Angel]

But according to Gek and various other people, pleasure is BAAAAAAAAADDDDD.

[Sorry Gek, just taking the piss out of the whole anhedonism thing ]

yeah it's been n-types signature tune for a while I think, which basically guarentees it a vinyl release
