Portishead Essential Mix...
Andy Smith (photo from HERE)
Originally broadcast on Radio One in April 1995 and mixed by Andy Smith (with Geoff Barrow in the cut during the first hour), this set, whilst hardly groundbreaking, impressed the beejeezus out of me at the time which probably says as much for the cultural-wilderness-of-a-market-town that I was living in as it does for the genre-hopping musical selection.
I still have my third generation, 90 minute cassette recording of this mix and a 118 minute CD version too but now, thanks to the wonder of the hindernet, I can download and listen to the whole 120 minute version in glorious hi-fi stereo sound, without radio interference or twisted tape misery...

Hurrah for science!

Good Graffings...
Not posted much recently due to:
1)work
2)drunkeness
3)a new sampler
4)watching U.S. artists do lacklustre shows at horrible venues with ridiculous bar prices and arsey door staff
but mainly drunkeness.
KNOE & CRUEL
RUSE
KREK
Apologies to anyone who has had the misfortune of speaking to me at any point over the last seven days.

Talk With God...
There's an interview with TABLEEK over at BRITISHHIPHOP.CO.UK that you may well have read when it was first posted there two years ago, but it mentions KISTA and that's all the excuse I need to post this remix...

Love, That's America
this is the only track I can find on YouTube from the MELVIN VAN PEEBLES album "As Serious As A Heart Attack". If anyone knows where I can find more or, better yet, has a VINYL copy of said album that they want to sell, let me know.......

Beauty and the Beat samples
There's no doubting that Edan's 'Beauty and the Beat' was one of the best albums of the last decade. In fact it is possibly one of the most interesting and diverse pieces of hip hop in the genres rather short history.I was so taken with the albums sampled collage of psychedelic rock and obscure 80's hip hop that I decided to try to source most of the samples that Edan had used. So about four years ago I started my mission...
Some of the source material was pretty obvious and easy to find but a couple of tracks took me a long while to hunt down. Some were found courtesy of tip offs from friends, and some I just found out of sheer luck by listening to literally hundreds of albums. Through lack of motivation I finally gave up my hunt a while ago, so this isn't the complete list by any means.
I have to say that this compilation has opened my eyes to a generation of musicians and genres of amazing music that I'd previously overlooked. Hopefully it will do the same for you. Check it out here.

Mo' Ninja
I always liked WBI Red Ninja, they often seem to be overlooked when people talk about UK hip hop of that era. I particularly admired their slightly offkey samples sources (James Dean on 'X the unknown' for example) and dark sound...
I've always wondered where the cover picture from the War Bytes Ep comes from:-
If anyone could let me know, I'd be mighty grateful!
A couple of earlier tracks:-

Red Ninja...
Here's some slept on 90's UK Hip Hop for you. Had a few copies of these pass through my hands over the years...
July...
Been listening to July a lot over the past couple of years. A really interesting Psychedelic group from Ealing who (as far as I know) only made one album in 1968 before splitting up a year later.
Out of the ashes of July came Jade Warrior, whose early work still had an edge of psychedelia. Their later music became more progressive and ambient over the years, light years away from the early July stuff but still an interesting listen.
Chain 3 TMT
A small post of appreciation for Chain 3, one of my favourite writers from the golden age (the mid /late 70's) of NY writing.
He's still rocking to this day, check out his Flickr
