With the recent release of Goldie’s The Alchemist- The Best of 1992-2012, one of d&b’s prime spokesman, and one of it’s few children to cross over into the world of mainstream media, remains as relevant as ever after two decades of success in a world that’s often quick to forget. To celebrate, he appears at [...]
I first became familiar with South London based producer/lyricist Jack Diggs after reviewing The Big QP, an album by the TPS Fam he’s one third of, just last year. If you check out that review you’ll know I was impressed by their raw sound and classic beats, mentioning I was looking forward to future offerings, [...]
In response to UK Hip Hop’s currently thriving state, the festival circuit has followed suite and 2013 promises more of our home grown lyricists and producers stepping up onto the big stages then ever. One festival that’s popped up to show heavy support is Morefest, a Dorset festival set in Moreton on August 23rd and [...]
Under his Hip Hop moniker, Ghost is a name we’ve been bumping for a long time now, with his Seldom Seen Often Heard album being a UK classic. However, his more recent A Tale of Life in XI Parts instrumental release showed a more experimental side of his sound, straying away from classic hip hop [...]
With the release of his Afterglo mix CD way back in 2010, a pleasant surprise hidden among Chemical Records orders, Phaeleh burst onto the electronic music scene with his own brand of melodic, relaxing Dubstep. An antidote to the mid range screeches that had begun to take over the 140 tempo, it was just what [...]
Eatgood lyricist Sonnyjim’s been on point recently as ever and this follow up track to his 2011 Purple Patch EP is no exception. An homage to when MC’s just used to go in with hard, non stop bars over crunching beats, the original EP (which you can check on Bandcamp here) saw Sonnyjim lacing four [...]
After some incredible live shows on the festival circuit last summer, a couple of leaked tunes that have been popping up over recent months as free downloads and a well deserved ‘Best Newcomer’ award in Wordplay Magazine’s Best of 2012, it’s safe to say that the Uk Hip Hop scene as a whole has been [...]
As hard as the Don Cannon/Kanye produced beat for Pusha T’s Numbers on the Board, I didn’t personally feel like he really did it justice, so it’s hardly a surprise that a few other MC’s have tried their hand at flipping it. Enter Stones Throw wordsmith Jon Wayne, reworking it into a underground monster with [...]
After the Sloshpot EP alongside Mr Boss earlier this year (check our review here), it was only a matter of time before Uk Hip Hop’s favourite loudmouth Dirty Dike was back, this time with his third solo album. What I was unsure of however, was which way the album would go in. Sloshpot showcased both [...]
It’s been a while since we unloaded some fresh mixes on you, but there’s always plenty of drum and bass being blended, cut, double drop and twisted around to the aid of oral pleasure by skilled hands behind mixers. Here’s some of our favourite d&b mixes to hit the internet recently. Enjoy… Clarity x Fabriclive [...]
