Freddie Hubbard R.I.P.

ANOTHER LEGEND DIES....

An Amazing muician, sampled by the likes of Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock and Cl Smoth, Souls Of Mischief, Black Sheep, Masta Ace etc. Basicly if you ve ever listened to 90's hip hop then you've listened to this man...RIP

Freddie Hubbard died today at Sherman Oaks Hospital as a result of a heart attack suffered in late November. His name might not blow up the same marquee lights as that of the late Eartha Kitt, whom we lost on Christmas Day, but anyone who cultivates even a passing interest in jazz certainly knows Hubbard's swift, mercury-smooth trumpet sound, whether they realize it or not.

A sideman for Sonny Rollins and Art Blakey, Hubbard did some of his most masterful work with the '60s avant-garde crowd, including Eric Dolphy's "Out to Lunch," John Coltrane's "Ascension" and Ornette Coleman's masterful group improvisation "Free Jazz." Perhaps as a result of such a track record, Hubbard's recordings as a band leader may have been a bit overshadowed, but his soul-jazz leaning '70s work on "Red Clay" and "Straight Life" are well worth investigating.



SHOUT OUT 2 SCOT

Junior Spesh

I was in Sainsbury's in Streatham the other day getting some bits when I saw this on the wall..

Blackjack - Dead Prez

SWITCH!!!!

Ghetto ft. Griminal - Don't Phone Me

So it looks like in 2009 grime MCs might actually be putting out grime tunes into the mainstream again with grimey videos.

I think it's a good effort, Ghets & Grim kill it on the beat!!

Merry Christmas

Scrap The 696 Form!

The people in Parliament aka The Wasteman Centre have drawn up some new plans to lock the next generation down again.

"The 696 Form compels licensees who wish to hold live music events in 21 London Boroughs to report to the police the names, addresses, aliases and telephone numbers of performers, and most worryingly, the likely ethnicity of their audience. Failure to comply could result in fines or imprisonment. We believe this places unnecessary and frankly Orwellian powers in the hands of the Metropolitan Police, an institution which does not have the best record of racial fairness. The 696 form can only serve to deter the staging of live musical events - a positive form of activity in London and all cities - stifle free expression and quite possible penalise certain genres of music and ethnic audiences. It is an intrusion too far."

As a DJ, I'm pissed off at the prospect of The 696 Form coming into place.

All Soundboys and girls, all raving cru, rise up!

Sign the petition here : http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/Scrapthe696/

If they ever pass this then this country is officially FUCKED.

from the Independent :

"..Mr Sharkey has also complained to the Equality and Human Rights Commission that the police appear to be focusing on the music enjoyed by black and Asian teenagers. One of the questions on the form requires the licensee to specify the type of music that will be performed, giving as possible examples "Bashment, R'n'B, Garage". Another question asks, "Is there a particular ethnic group attending?..."

WTF?

DJ MK @ THE MASTERING SESSION OF THE NEW NEWHAM GENERALS ALBUM "GENERALLY SPEAKING"

So today i was invited down to the mastering session of the brand new Newham Generals album "Generally Speaking"
I ve heard bits and pieces of this album since April when Dizz and Cage played me some ruff versions of it, and on the real i was blown away by what i heard, so i was excited to hear the finished result.

When i got to the studio The Generals, Dizz and Cage were chilling listening to "Head Get Mangled" being mastered. This track is incredible. It's too much. Bass heavy to the extreme, and I'd say one of my favorite cuts on the album (Shout out to cAGE on the beat who killed it)

I got played a world exclusive of the video for "Head Get Mangled" which is SICK. Imagine Jacobs Ladder, Torture, and a room full of kinky ladies. I'll say no more, you really just have to watch it. It's in a class by itself and it takes it to a whole other level (Shout out to Rachel)

Generally Speaking is 13 cuts long and lyrically Footsie and D Double kill it. The good thing about this album is that its dirty and grimy as hell but at the same time its next level and will appeal to indie/rock kids and hip hop heads, as well as the grime scene, which is what we need more of musically in this country.

Yo rather then me go on about the album, listen to the Generals break down their album themselves. Listen below

EXCLUSIVE : UFO's in Peckham

WTF?

..is some new socks, £200 vouchers for Tape Exchange, and a Yamaha Tenori-On

from wiki:

Tenori-on is an electronic musical instrument, designed and created by Japanese artist, Toshio Iwai and Yu Nishibori of the Music and Human Interface Group, Yamaha Center for Advanced Sound Technology. It consists of a screen, held in the hands, of a sixteen by sixteen grid of LED switches, any of which can be activated in a number of ways to create an evolving musical soundscape. The LED switches are held within a magnesium frame, which has two built-in speakers located on the top of frame, as well as a dial and buttons that control the type of sound and beats per minute produced. There is also an LCD screen on the bottom edge of the frame. Using the connection function, it is possible to play a synchronized session, or to send and receive songs between two of the devices.

King of Pranks

Remi Gaillard from France takes street pranks to a whole new level. He does shit like curl football's into the back of open police vans, and then does Ravinelli style celebrations in front of them.. You may have seen him in the news in 2002, when he jumped on the pitch and sung the french national anthem with Lorient in the Coupe de France final.

Kirlian Photography

I was Googlin about at some photography earlier, and came across some interesting Kirlian photography using Tesla Coils..

I think a Tesla Coil is kinda like a big version of this:

But without the glass ball around it..


This photo is of the Coil rotating 2 times, with a rod attatched, using an exposure of about 20 seconds.
