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.

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....

...erm, mine's a medium.

Cheers then.

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...)

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...

Kista - Talk With God (FISH remix) feat. Tableek by antisocial music

Underated...under rated...underrated...

Kista has been doing his bit for the North Yorks tourist trade for years now; as well as running an annual graff jam, he's independantly released a handful of records, once had an interview in Hip Hop Connection (back when they still insisted on printing it on pulped trees) and has managed to resist the fame, fanny, and fortune that comes with being a London-based producer to carry on doing his thing in sunny Scarborough...
