Few tunes on rotation..

I've always rated everything Lowkey has put out, back since Key to the Game 1 and his Poisonous Poets days. This tune shows you how much he has develepod as an artist. Everything about this is so on point.



Eminem made the Infinite LP and it sold 70 copies. Some of the tracks were probably the best stuff he ever made.



Back when Roll Deep n Pay As You Go Cartel took garage to a next level.

I love Serbian festivals.

Exit Festival 2009



The view of the fortress, where the festival is held, from the bridge across the Danube.


Husam and Dan on camp.


The sunset from the top of the hill.


'Food City' and the reggae stage, which helped wake us up in the mornings.


Only to pass out in the afternoon.







Footie at Novi Sad station. Just before the infamous train incident which left half of us sleeping on the floor at Belgrade train station and half on a train to Montenegro haha.




Prepared - camping mat and funnel.


Thanks to John for the photos.

Just remembered this tune got requested many a time on Inter Rail. Listerrrnnnnn!


I love Serbian festivals.

Guca Festival 2008:

We travelled to Guca from Belgrade, the home of the Mega-Mac, surgically-enhanced women and gypsies. Found a really good hostel too up some completely random 9 flights of stairs right opposite the bus station. Quite a bit of graff and street art in Belgrade too.


Man are locked in like them man are HARD.



The view in Belgrade at sunset.


The Serbians love meat. Found in the McDonalds in Belgrade.


Ollie and Neal jamming on Milos' camp where we set up camp. Milos worked as a sound engineer at Exit Festival and played some banging reggae, dub and house tunes into the early hours. He also provided the home made Slivovica (a Serbian plum brandy), one of the most deadly alcoholic drinks you will ever come across.


Plum brandy..


The statue in the middle of Guca's square..


Before Neal got on it..



Drinking by the river... Jelen Pivo - Serbia's number one beer and sponsors of the festival.



Bands in the river.


One of the hundreds of trumpet bands.


The pig being shaved and drained


Just after having its neck slit.



Skewered and ready to be roasted.



The tastiest fish stew I've ever eaten.

Good to hear new material from Scratchy. Little different to his old stuff but a very catchy beat regardless. He's meant to be dropping an album at some point in 2010 - something to look out for.

Scorzilla, the gorilla..


Scorsayzee is a British hip hop artist from Nottingham. Having recently starred in Shane Meadows' (This Is England, Somers Town, Once Upon a Time in the Midlands) latest film Le Donk and Scorsayzee, he's back to making music. All explained in the banging track he made for the film - Luv Me - one of the best tracks I've heard for a while. Download here or here.

He released a free mixtape at the end of 2009 entitled The Started. Well worth a download for any hip-hop fans out there. Link HERE.
