Normalerweise erwartet man auf Hip-Hop-Parties lässig wirkende Bros in Baggie-Pants mit viel zu großen Hoodies, monströsen Nikes und einem gekonnt platzierten LA-Cap auf ihrem Haupt. In jedem Arm wiegt sich eine knapp bekleidete Bitch, die wie aus einem Clip von 50 Cent entsprungen scheint. Zum Glück haben die Jungs von Remmidemmi da Abhilfe geschaffen und eine Hip-Hop-Party für Nicht-Hip-Hopper ins Leben gerufen, bei der diesen Samstag ( 11.02.12 ) im What?! zu Hits von Mc Hammer oder Grandmaster Flash geshufflet wird und ein Shot den anderen jagt. Und das ganz ohne [...]

Le hip-hop est né à New-York dans le quartier du Bronx au cours des années 70. Kool DJ Herc , émigré jamaïcain, introduit la culture des sound systems et invente le break beat . Grand Wizard Theodore est le tout premier à scratcher , apparemment par le plus heureux des hasards. Grandmaster Flash perfectionne cette nouvelle technique et Afrika Bambaataa fédère tout cela en un mouvement socioculturel autour de la Zulu Nation . Ces parrains du hip-hop ont certes joué un rôle crucial [...]

In this series, I want to showcase some of the most talented DJ/producers, groups and solo-artists on SoundCloud. These, unlike my other series on SoundCloud (coming soon), will be fairly known to very known artists - though I'm sure you've probably never heard any of them... until now! First up is a mashup artist who goes by DJ Soo. Soo has a talent for taking some of the best MC's, known & not-so known, and funkifying 'em to a new era level. Surprisingly though, I caught [...]

Por si no estáis enterados o os importa un pijo y ni siquiera os llegó la noticia a oídos, hace unas semanas fue el festival de Eurovisión. No os asustéis, no se nos ocurriría poner canciones que sonaron allí ni aunque nos pagasen (bueno… si se diese el caso que nos lo propusieran…) El caso es que España, una vez más, hizo un papel extraordinario que nos valió la vigesimotercera (23) posición (de 25), cosa que está muy bien porque por lo menos, en la clasificación, año a año somos regulares y nos mantenemos (¡Gracias Portugal!)

Lorcan Mak introduced me to Dj Kool Dek a little while ago, he's fast becoming one of my favourite artists at the moment. Heavily influenced by Old Skool Hip-Hop and Jackin' House, he makes music with very clever samples.

Some of you may dig this for the nostalgic bring back of Grandmaster Flash's classic anthem. This, however, brought me to attention when I heard Latyrx 's " Lady Don't Tek No cut right from the start. "Lady Don't Tek No" brings me back to my first years in college. I may have been a little late on The Bay's hip-hop scene, but Latyrx was one of my main introductions and I've been a big supporter ever since. As far as what Soo brings to the collision of these classics, like many [...]
