Buff Stuff



It's the weekend, so here's a little treat from myself. I recently got sent a new release from the ever impressive Bstrd Boots label (check their back cat, every one is a blinder). On the flip is a bumpin little number by Sneaky Fox, called High Roller. "Nice" I thought, but wouldn't it be nicer with my favourite UK MC on the top of it? So here it is, just for fun...

Let Them Hate




Just landed in the NICE UP! inbox, the new singe from Ninja Tune's Poirier featuring one of our favourite new school mic controllers YT. The original is a tough digi dancehall workout which will be getting spins everywhere, but we're posting up the Mungo's HiFi rework, which goes a bit deeper on the dub vibes as always. No hating this!

various - below the radar





finally, we're back in canada!

this little nugget is a double lp compilation from toronto's radiostation chry 105.5 fm. i'm pretty sure it's from 2002. besides a few established names you'll find a lot of obscure indie groups featured on here.

personally, i think it's a good project overall– i'm not feeling every joint though. today i share my top 5 tracks with you including my personal favorite by theology 3. man, i wish there was a 12" for this!



VA - BELOW THE RADAR LP '02

KAMAU "REGRETS"
KASH KLAY AND DA HEAVYHITTER "TIMES LIKE THIS"
PHERENZIKS "IMMACULATE CONCEPTION"
THEOLOGY 3 "CLOSED CAPTION"
YASEEN "THE BROOK"
