One of my all time favourite magazines, Muzik, has put the entire contents up as pdfs so you can go and find out what Sasha was playing in '96. My kind of fun filled afternoon.

Charlie Dark put up a great video of a brief history of his Run Dem Crew and old Attica Blues days. Can't wait for part 2.





Charlie also linked to these other videos recently, the first is pure poetry, the second is about homelessness from the perspective of the children.

Ghostpoet + Koreless = WIN for me.


 
Ghostpoet - Survive It (Koreless Remix) by ghostpoet


This tweet from Bake of All caps has got me very excited at the prospect of finally being about to check his music on wax.

Blawan has dropped a classic here. Sampling Brandy might seem like an idea everyone is doing at the moment but this one really rises above the rest. One of my favourite tracks of the year already I think.
