Still sizzling after all these weeks

Alreadey - It's lazy to throw up some videos on a blog and dub it summat more than it actually is. But there's some fresh hype being rolled out there at the moment and I want in on it.



Dj Zinc is undergoing a right old rival - having been the mainstay of drum n bass nights during university days, he's had a serious word with himself and re-emerged with a satisfyingly contemporary wobble. He's dubbing this new flex "crack house". Not crap house. Crack house. First time I clocked this new effort with Ms Dynamite on lungs I admit I wasn't so bothered - Predictably now one listen just isn't enough. So big it's needs its own conservatory...




Jammer is the original murkle man. First time we saw him in the flesh was a C90 at Sharkeys in Sheffield. He rocked up with a mad entourage with blacked out windows and Shadetek's missus in place. She looked as hard as a wrestler with her braids. Rumour has it, one of da crew were packing - who knows but it was tough and gnarly and the first night of its kind to hit Sheffield.

Fast forward five years and the Murkle is much more polished. Like a real popstar he's packing videos and nice garms rather than fire arms. Shiiiiiit, we even saw him play a little set in an art gallery just the other week. He was wearing a particularly nice coat, then posed like JLS for some photos afterwards. Awwwwww...



By comparison this is what was happening in Sheffield back in 2006. Joe Ruckus on the camera flex...

Babe Rainbow, Teenagers in Tokyo and the Tune-Yards on a Fact tip

I had no idea who Babe Rainbow was until Fact asked us to spin out some verse on his work. He is one the big things for Warp Records in 2010. And suitably eerie...

Check out what I had to say for myself over here...

I also had time to give Teenagers in Tokyo a slagging for being too shit here

Although the Horrors remix (to be streamed here) is surprisingly hype.

The Tune-Yards have also got daubed in my reviewery brush. Here's the flex on their latest release. The video is proper silly front room vibes as well...
