I was a white suburban punk who discovered black radio. On our way to the City driving down 1 & 9 on the Pulaski skyway we would always manage to find this music fitting and tune into Kiss FM or BLS. Wherever DJ Red Alert was scratching records live on the spot we would stop on the dial. Probably where we first heard the Beastie Boys . This music got us in the mood for whatever else was to follow that evening. I didn't even think of recording his set because every Friday night we would find him spinning [...]
Felix Luker (aka Oleg Voronin from the Ukraine) is a truly emerging talent on the scene. He first appeared on U&A Recordings last summer with his massive single 'Mechanical' [ http://beatport.com/s/t5Kjdf ], which slayed many a crowd, from huge festivals, to tiny basement sweatboxes.Since then he's been dabbling with progressive and minimal releases, but has really found his range on the
Felix Luker (aka Oleg Voronin from the Ukraine) is a truly emerging talent on the scene. He first appeared on U&A Recordings last summer with his massive single 'Mechanical' , which slayed many a crowd, from huge festivals, to tiny basement sweatboxes. Since then he's been dabbling with progressive and minimal releases, but has really found his range on the forthcoming single 'SAW' ... a great slice of hooky, grinding peaktime tech that tips its cap to the likes of Afrojack & Will Bailey whilst retaining it's own [...]

THIS IS NOT A BOOK REVIEW! I haven't yet had a chance to finger through the new tome from KRS, but I nonetheless wanted to throw out the fact that, as of this week, it's out there for all to purchase. HERE FOR MORE INFO... While I sometimes criticize those who attempt to explain hip-hop, I'm sure KRS can illustrate the essence better than anyone else. As he's told us repeatedly throughout the years, he is hip-hop (his book imprint is even called I Am Hip-Hop). From the looks of it, [...]

Below is an excerpt from and link to my review from the new Buckshot-KRS tag team effort, Survival Skills . I've been bumping this for a week strong now, and every time something new floors me. Today, I'm all about the KRS verse on this here track with K'Naan . The whole cut is fresh - but the Teacher gift wraps it in the end. Enjoy (video above). Buckshot and KRS have both been prolific lately, and, on Survival Skills , they prove that they've [...]
Hip Hop is Read has been doing this excellent series of sample sets for a while but these are the latest ones they have featured. Kane 's second album has always been slept on relative to his first classic, Long Live the Kane and KRS-One 's Return of the Boom Bap is possibly the archetypal 90's-era 'boom-bap' hip hop album. Check 'em out if you're into beat diggin' and sample production stuff: More info and sample list [...]
R.E.M.: Radio Song [ purchase ] This collaboration between R.E.M. and rapper KRS 1 appeared on R.E.M.'s 1991 mega-hit album Out of Time . I always felt that it got a bad rap (no pun intended) from R.E.M. fans who just couldn't reconcile the fact that their favorite band was performing with a hip-hop artist. I never really had that problem myself and have always liked the [...]

STILL RELEVANT. LEARN SOMETHING. ~You can call me Jam
KRS 1 is one of those guys who is probably going to be rapping and releasing tracks when hes in a retirement home. For now he has teamed with Buckshot on a track titled Robot. He takes shots at the industry calling out T-Pain and autotune, it's about time someone did. Robot
Hold tight - Trouble Vision are back with their fifth outing, showcasing some of the most exciting sounds in British underground dance music. Teaming up with label Dead Fish and london night Dirty Canvas, TV have put together arguably their best line-up yet, in terms of exciting names stirring up a buzz. This officially launches Mowgli's new label Deadfish, a joint project with fellow Italian-turned-Londoner Solo, that arose from sharing a studio together. A sub-label is in on the cards too, 'FreshFish'. DeadFish focuses on big house and techno beats, while FreshFish offers [...]
MASTER OF PUPPETS by RZ22 The Obama Deception is creating heated debates right now, even in Berlin. Mike passed it on to Alec, Alec passed it on to me. What do YOU think? It's Mid March and it looks as the euphoria of the Obama win has disappeared. Most people have turned away from politics (or should we call it mass media election entertainment?), thinking that it's all safe and taken care of. Every [...]

A last minute banger for tonight! Riva Starr sends us a happy new years greeting with this remix of KRS 1 track "Sound Of The Police". As always with Riva it's a top notch production and a destroyer of dancefloors. "YO! The next installment on the RIVA STARR RECHUNK series is the "SOUND OF DA PECAN", played everywhere from Parisian SOCIAL CLUB (Chef party) to Italian new hype party RAG TAG (in Naples) to every gig i've recently done.... watch the people go mad with this...."
