catchnwrek just informed me that the link i posted to purchase the 2 dvds is selling only the showcase one.

"this is where I purchased my copies and you can find both:

however, you can purchase the showcase dvd for $2.50 less at masterjam. if that's the only one someone wants then i suggest this route, however, it's best to go with filmbaby if you want both to save on shipping, right!"

Rudeboy Pon The Riddim

After hearing Wrongtom's recent refix of Tinie Tempah's "Pass Out" (keep your eyes peeled for a release on NICE UP! soon...) I put together this 80's dancehall inspired blend of Rihanna's "Rudeboy" with Mickey Murka's "Ride The Rhythm"(recently reissued by Honest Jons) for a possible B-side. I'm not entirely sure if works and I doubt many people would want to buy it, so thought I'd bung it up on here as a free download and let you be the judge...

the ruggedn'ess & madd drama

i don't think i have to explain too much about our next group. philly's finest ruggedn'ess & madd drama. this is their debut record i believe. it's from '93 and on kixx records, where one year later redd bull appeared. apparently this also is the first release of kixx records (kixx01).

both tracks are dope! nevertheless, "comin' at 'cha" is my joint!

as extra special delicacy i upped a video of them live on stage performing "me and my squad". to be honest, i can't remember where i have this footage from. the year should be '94/'95 . this is super fucking dope! check it out!

Can I get a Witness?

Every man and his dog has versioned Roots Manuva's witness at some point, and our mashed up pal Mr Blennd is no exception - He put this together a few years back to play in his DJ sets, but now he's launched it into cyberspace for all to consume...
Mark Ronson originally produced this tack for Estelle's 'The Magnificent', but Blennd has given her the old heave ho, and let Manuva in the back door - come one, come all and 'Witness the magnificent'....

Longshot may kick the bucket!

This Saturday sees the great tradition of the Grand National horse race at Aintree!
Put a bunch of old nags in a field, scare the bejeesus out of them with a handgun and see how many of them avoid being catfood by the end of 3 miles....! Great stuff!

Round the Jstar area, numerous veteran Jamaicans attend the local bookmakers, of which there are many within walking distance of Jstar studios. Knowing that there is a hotbed of insider knowledge to be tapped into, I asked for a few tips, and then went to find out what our favourite mashup reggae remixers will be having a flutter on!

Jstar - Backstage - 37/1 - 'cos it's where the winners hang out, even if this a rank outsider'
Nice Up! - Can't Buy Time - 40/1 - 'sounds like a classic Treasure Isle tune that never was'
Mr Blennd - Comply or Die - 22/1 - ' a gansta's favourite saying'
Prime Time Blends - Hello Bud - 40/1 - the odds might be stacked against this one 4 smokers..
Play that Blend - Niche Market - 18/1 - 'still selling vinyl innit polski style'
Skylarkin Soundsystem & DJ Derek - Palypso De Creek -119/1 - ' did someone say calypso?'

Good luck!!

Mos Dub

As a good man once said "Sun is shining, the weather is sweet" and one thing that has just made it all the sweeter today is this full album download of MOS DEF reggae blends by internet bootlegger extraordinaire Max Tannone. I'm only half way through checking it, but know I'm gonna be bumping it all summer long so felt compelled to blog it straight away...go get!

all around incredibles

time to reveal two missing joints on the year of the nine mix and darkside mix.

let me introduce all around incredibles with their two track twelve inch from '97. they are so incredible, that i could not find any info about them. apparently the rappers are nebulus & kwamclizm. production credits go to des black and k-carribean. i don't know if they had an earlier release as it says "all arounds the bomb remix" on the label.

a very dope record in my opinion!

hit the comments section should you know more!

Nauty Naughty

Just peeped this wicked rub-a-dub cover version of Bob James classic Nautilus, up there in the "one of the most sampled tunes in hip hop" hall of fame. This version by French producer Blundetto, has a slight latin vibe to it, reminiscent of Quantic's Flowering Inferno project (new album coming soon I believe). Anyway, it's dope summer chillin music so click away and turn it up...
