Van de hoop die ik uitsprak dat Jos Hol n.a.v. zijn debuut Onderhuids eerdaags in heel Nederland te horen zou zijn, is weinig terecht gekomen. Integendeel, opvolger Verlange heeft hij zelfs in eigen beheer moeten uitbrengen. Schande, al geeft hij...
Il n'y a pas grand chose... Je m'explique: en me baladant sur la toile à la recherche d'un nouvel album Suisse , où la musique est bonne, où les paroles sont intéressante et bien je me suis aperçu qu'en ce moment les vaches Suisses sont plutôt maigre. Bref, il n y a vraiment pas grand chose. A part peut-être des folies « conceptuelles »: je suis tombé par exemple sur un album de jazz cérébral où se mélange grunge et musique concrète. Avec une formation plus qu'étrange composée de [...]

Today's classic sees us go back to 1993 and dive head first into a breakbeat classic. Released on Dj Slipmatt's Awesome Records , "R-Type" is a brilliantly chunky bit of jungle goodness. Wall to wall sub bass, rolling breaks and an insanely catchy 8-bit style hook all combine to create one of the best tracks of the early drum n bass era. Jo - R-Type Also - T. Williams turned in a rather nifty remix recently and it's free to download courtesy of XLR8R . [...]

Not long after, Truth followed suit and began performing at local talent shows throughout the Washington, DC metro area, [...]

If you know Curtis Jenkins, you should know he LOVES baile funk. Baile Funk, also called funk carioca, is a Brazilian dance music that originated in the favelas of Rio de Janeiro and is heavily influenced by 1980s Miami Bass music (like 2 Live Crew!) This is some serious party music, where thousands of young people gather together every weekend to shake their asses. Here's a clip from Diplo's documentary Favela On Blast , a GREAT introduction to Rio's baile funk counter-culture. Check the links that follow for more clips: [...]

Contrary to what many believed, Janet Jackson is not working on a new album. Her new single is "Nothing" and it's a one-off for the soundtrack of her new film. There have been no plans for a new album as she decides whether to sign on to another record label or go completely independent, which is a brave consideration from her part and should reap her many benefits. "There was a time where I was actually in the studio and I was recording, but I'm not working on an album," she says. "There have been a lot of record labels [...]

This is Organix, set up by Simple Samples boys Dweller and Scrabble, and who better to explain Organix than Dweller himself? "Basically, I want to let MCs download a beat from my site, and they are given a certain amount of time to write lyrics over a topic decided by us. For example, write so many bars about where in the UK you are from and what it is like. There will be a scoreboard up and points will be given for sick stuff, when all the rhymes are in we will film a vid of [...]
