Everyone's A Critic...

SIGHER just sent me a link to the ever-good FLEAMARKET FUNK website where DJ PRESTIGE has the first and, to my knowledge, only review of FOREVER LESS. You can read the whole review HERE



"If you like UK rap, good beats, and great samples, you will love this record...This collection of beats and remixes is exactly what you need on a Friday night driving around in your Rover, looking for the next spot to hit with your mates...let’s see if he’s got forever more in his bag, because that’s what I want: more of Fish’s beats." - DJ Prestige

thanks to the bloggers and radio shows that have been showing the album love...

Forever Less...

get yourself a selection of badly mixed LO-FI rap by my mum's favourite producer, dj, graff artist and all round bald-headed, chain-smoking, drunken wasteman and Michael Stipe impersonator, FISH.
FOREVER LESS features verses from CAPPO, DOCTOR ZOOTS, ELLIOT FRESH and TABLEEK out of MASPYKE and there's a few instrumentals to bulk things up a bit.
Well worth a quid and/or a couple of Superking.

Grand Emporium E.P...

KISTA is about to bless the world with his second vinyl release on SOUNDWEIGHT RECORDS entitled THE GRAND EMPORIUM E.P. which features TABLEEK, CAPPO, ELLIOT FRESH and STAN ILLA displaying their respective lyrical skills over KISTA's crunchy drums, bouncing basslines and...aah fuck it, I am utterly shite at writing music reviews and I can't be at all objective about this - did I mention my remix of LIVEWIRE FEEDBACK is the last track on side two?  - but,  YOU WILL LOVE THIS RECORD so I suggest that you give the soundcloud sampler  a listen and then get yours HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE or be sad, lonely and friendless forever...it's your choice.



I should probably say something about the all new SOUNDWEIGHT / HEAVY GOODS t-shirts designed by the ball of misery, stress and lyrics that is DOCTOR ZOOTS....

Cheers then.

Supreme Being...

Antimix? So Last Year...

Not posted much this year due to being busy, uninspired, lazy and/or drunk so I thought I should upload this ill-considered compilation which features lots of annoying sound effects, no mixing and a selection of my favourite rap tracks from 2012 (plus one or two from 2011 just because...)

The Attic Man...

Cappo - the hardest working / most underrated, with more pseudonyms than Howard Marks - returns with the long-awaited mixtape "Gusto Grizwold: International Vacation" of which Capps says, "For the past year I have been developing my flows and lyricism and expanding my music horizons, this tape marks my metamorphosis from Iron Condor to Isotope Flow Glider"



Released on his own UNDER THE CAP RECORDS label, "Gusto Grizwald ..." is available as CD or download HERE
(check the ELP sampling "Fitted & Snapback" below for an idea of what you get for your fiver...)
