Diet Coke

Do Clipse deliberately release their mixtapes to coincide with Wire-mania ? And if so, why not get Slim Charles to drop a guest verse? We love Slim Charles. Re-up Gang – Good Morning [mp3]

Hero To Zero

Ever since Cover Up was cut short by Jon-Erik Hexum‘s bizarre death we’ve been waiting patiently for another TV show about a crime-fighting fashion photographer and her ex-Green Beret, male model sidekick. We’re still waiting, but Bonnie Tyler’s anthemic theme tune has been made into a grime track and that will do for now. Ghetto [...]

Party Politics

Craze is at Fabric tonight to launch his fine addition to the club’s never-ending mix series. Better still, he’s got Chicago’s amazing Cool Kids on the bill. It’s Chuck and Mikey’s first ever UK show. With Super Tuesday out of the way, we’re hoping Barack will swing by to drop a quick 16 on Black [...]

Rappy Rap Day – Fit Club

The ever-awesome Mad Decent blog recently introduced Fully Fitted to the world. XXXchange, Devlin/Darko, Chipset, Pasey Pase and Amanda Blank have formed the ultimate NY hipster-hop supergroup in order to tear apart Justice tracks and build amazing songs out of the remains. Fully Fitted – 100 Million [mp3]

Rappy Rap Day – Blood Brother

Vein produced this with Keith Bizz and it is insane. Like a robot being raped by basslines. We wish the chorus would go on forever. Vein – Get Up Stand Up (ft. Pitbull) [mp3]

Rappy Rap Day – Star Bucks

The Knux are managed by Paul Rosenberg who looks after Eminem. Check them out before they become fat, creatively bankrupt recluses. The Knux – Cappuccino [mp3]

Rappy Rap Day – Money Talks

Hey grime! Great job of making everyone excited about you again with all those free mixtapes. And hey P Money! Thanks for giving away last year’s Coins 2 Notes and having a ridonkulous double-time flow. How do you breathe? Have you got gills? P Money – Something New [mp3]

Elastic Band

An Elastica song without Elastica. It’s like the 90s again, but better. Talbot Tagora – Connection (Elastica cover) [mp3] [More...]

The Day The Sky Exploded

Leopardman At C&A is a song written by comic king Alan Moore for Bauhaus. They never got round to recording it so one of our garage rock heroes, motherfucking Mick Collins of The Dirtbombs, took up the challenge. The band’s new album We Have You Surrounded is steeped in Moore’s special brand of dystopian paranoia [...]

Over & Over

Today is the last day of London fashion week and we’re looking forward to eating real food again rather than tiny versions of food swiped from passing trays. At last night’s Mulberry party we saw Hot Chip play to a listless herd of fashion pals who after four days of cocktails looked like flamboyantly-dressed zombies [...]
