Some interesting stuff in this re conditions and culture in South Bronx that laid the ground hip hop https://www.c-span.org/video/?425793-1/hip-hop-began-bronx Runs through the usual "actually, there are four elements" bit at the beginning but goes onto lesser well wrung out oral histories and...

For me personally it will always come back to the DJs. The birth of any scene worth talking about ....before DJs in turn go on to fuck it up. Things are probably healthy as they have ever been in that regard but the old conditions and potential will probably never exist ways it once did. It is...

Saw the Prodigy five times one year. Most artists I am seriously into these days are either dead or not far off so saving money on concert tickets at least. I have sort of gone in reverse though, instead of obsessing / collecting take comfort knowing there are these bottomless discographies...

haha, if anything there are a whole load of Mancuso records I'm really getting in a way I hadn't previously. My neighbours not so much.

Yeah, backsliding is a concern though not on the horizon presently I feel. Wasn't after anything in terms of roadmaps or next steps but do feel a lot better myself in terms of negotiating my way more proactively and dealing with the knocks.

Plus now I am chucking me Moving Shadow 12s in the bin to focus solely on the most achingly life affirming Colombian folk music

For sure yeah, while also having the courage to take your hands of the reins was a big thing I found. That Milton quote is very good! So much was leaning into the fear or sitting with it. For me at least, the ayahuasca sort of took all that rumination and preoccupation we do and infinitely...

I sort of deliberately didn't do a whole lot of research beforehand so as to avoid expectations influencing matters and getting out of my comfort zone was sort of central to whatever intentions I allowed myself. The retreat was a mix of god tier drug taking and psychotherapy rather than the...

It's multiple and extremely complex issues at play but masculinity informs and influences so much that it is a nonsense to suggest it wouldn't be a factor in areas of self perception and metal health that go much beyond likelihood of seeking help, etc. More than anything though I just wanted...

I am presently a walking chiché of universal oneness and inner truth after a lot of ayahausca recently. Would have been quite sceptical of psychedelic potential but not any more haha. Without a doubt one the best things I have ever done. Have begun to resolve all sorts and currently day two into...

My choon of the day is stuck in my head. 2step very much in production style of Chris Mack and samples this (belter!) vocal Anyone recall the name of it?

Have seen George "Hound Dog" Lorenz mentioned in various interviews down the years but for someone reputed to be so influential, no one has bothered writing a wiki page yet. He's credited as one of the first DJs to play black Rock and Roll artists on radio, crucially WKBW then had a massive...

This is it A lot less obviously inflammatory than a good bit of stuff he has put online down the years but right move from the beeb. Interesting to consider how swiftly they cut him loose though isn't it? The show was probably in some form of development or consideration a while before it...

UKG appears to be heavily effected by discogs banning sale of 'unofficial' releases. Fair enough covering their own back on people doing wholesale bootleg runs or whatever but its a bit much going after tunes from 1999 that made often brilliant use of acapellas and more often with major label...

Well this is taking an interesting turn, ....that might have been unusual in the past but not 2017

May's show here

Monthly over on Dublin Digital Radio so will pop episodes here for anyone interested April's show here on the intergalactic beach vibes Station is great btw with lots of good talented folk involved http://listen.dublindigitalradio.com/

Few issues with this but interesting on the potential existential crisis facing the NYT worldview. We know how it will end of course http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/12/20/opinion/liberal-zionism-in-the-age-of-trump.html?smid=tw-share&_r=0&referer=https%3A%2F%2Ft.co%2FcGcF5otT8A
