it's all about the laydeez this friday - london's freshest female talent on the mic at the rhythm factory in whitechapel the hotly tipped no lay from unorthodox, lady chann from bashment crew suncycle and criola from latin clan will all be turning up the heat. plus all the usual dancehall...

you can download riko's pa / our set from last friday's heatwave here - http://www.scandalbag.com/downloads.html my favourite bits - riko bunning out informers on the gype riddim, hearing riko on big boy producer joker's pum pum riddim refix which i saw him put together in 25 minutes. his...

mighty crown were wicked right from the first round - great dubs and really confident mcing. they won the crowd over straight away with tanya stephens 'what a day' and by the final round they were winning every time in the dub for dub. the uk sound immortal got to the final with them, tho bass...

it's all over 1xtra / radio 1 but not out on 7 or on pirates yet... greensleeves riddim album soon come. apparently riko got given the instrumental - seems like a good move by south rakkas or greensleeves if they gave it to him.

bionic ras - by the guys who did clappas and red alert. they call it 'electro dancehall'. we call it garage.

probably won't get riko on till 12 30 or so - once the place is really buzzing - so yeah that should be fine.

the big man riko will be at heatwave vs mas fuego doing an exclusive ragga / dancehall pa and hosting the night this friday at the rhythm factory. there's a link to riko dropping some dancehall style verses on rinse on this thread http://www.dissensus.com/showthread.php?t=1233 he kills it on...

independance is not bad for grimy stuff http://www.independance-records.co.uk/ug.htm

this culture of day labouring still seems to exist in the contemporary dancehall world. if you want a big name artist to voice your riddim, you pay something like a $2000 one off fee for them to do a voicing. only if the riddim, or their cut in particular, then goes on to be a big hit will you...

heatwave vs mas fuego! is at the rhythm factory this friday. full details and photos from january / february at www.scandalbag.com london's only bashment / reggaeton party...caribbean sounds from jamaica to puerto rico over two rooms. exclusive dancehall / reggaeton pa from uk hip hop don...

yeah we do a monthly at rhythm factory and i think they would be up for it, space in their diary allowing... i still like cherry jam though as it's small. and fairly comfortable for watching films. loving the 80s mix by the way paul. it's big! some real gems on there and sweetly mixed too...

sounds like a plan to me...an hour's film screening and then a few hours of music would make for a nice evening. my vote for films to show would go to 'babylon' - would love to see it on a big screen. one place that springs to mind would be cherry jam - i've been to film screening / music...

like a lot of caribbean culture its roots seem to be in migration. from jamaica to panama, establishing the connection between the two cultures which bore fruit in the late 80s / early 90s when latin mcs started versioning jamaican riddims. and from puerto rico to new york, establishing hip hop...

a lot of uk hip hop is let down my unimaginative production and doesn't go down well in clubs (except the hard core uk hip hop ones obviously) as a result. some recent exceptions - ty/roots manuva - oh you want more refix yungun - dancing shoes / nico suave estelle / joni rewind - uptown top...

yeah he won't really be playing any 'bug' stuff, more new bashment, ragga, reggae, bit of hip hop and so on. it's a dancehall / caribbean music night not electronica / hardcore (a lot of the people who came last time would probably run screaming from a 'bug' set). his set should be a really good...

This Friday the Bug will be playing a one off set of Jamaican (ie. de-noised) dancehall with his mcs Warrior Queen (of 'Almighty Father' fame) and Ras B for Heatvwave vs. Mas Fuego at East London's Rhythm Factory. Also hotting things up there's Jstar, the man behind the 'No Diggity' reggae...

like stelfox says the rasta schtick is kind of obligatory and perhaps even more so for someone like gentleman who is striving for acceptance in jamaica as well as trying to please a white german audience whose intense identification with jamaican culture and language can, admittedly, seem a bit...

i think it´s been around for almost a year in JA but only really hit big in the summer. unusual lyrical complexity and a nuanced view of female sexuality, which are not all that common in new roots or jamaican music in general...it seems to present female desire (both sexual and material) as a...

dub cutting a friend runs a dub cutting studio where he cuts the plates onto vinyl rather than acetate...costs about the same and they don`t wear out. contact henry at www.dubstudio.co.uk it was about 35 quid for a 2 sided 12 last time i checked. he will master the tune so when it´s cut you...
