Lee Scratch Perry v Skream & Zomby

First off an excellent dub meets dubstep mix entitled 'dubsteppin' from our friends Shimmy Shimmy




Dubsteppin mix


Some excellent tracks on this mix, lots of classic riddims given the heavy bass n snare dubstep treatment and will be loved by those who like dubstep but are left cold by the lack of a human presence in a lot of the genre.

Inspired after watching the 'differently sane' Lee Scratch Perry Interview from youtube including the one pasted below from Jools Holland in Jamacia (1985)before his 'exile' too Switzerland.

Dadda : big noise from Jamrock

Amir Jahfar Fyffe, popularly known as "DADDA" is one of the best new things we have heard out of jamrock (Jamaica) for a long time. We have not a clue how old he is, but when someone is as talented as this, who cares? What we do know is that Dadda is the nephew of veteran dancehall female artist "lady g" (janice fyffe) and the grandson of kenroy fyffe,"tallash" who have done back up vocals for artist such as "cornell campbell" "bunny wailer" "i jahman levi" "congos ashanti" and the list goes on!! dadda had performed on most of the major events and festival held in Jamaica...lets hope he visits the UK soon.

Below is his excellent tribute to Robert Nester Marley, which we would love to know where to buy/download as we are itching to play this, and as soon as we find out we will let you know...hopefully we can do an interview as well.

Gun's dont kill people...Major Lazer (remixes) do!

Major Lazer - Hold the Line - The Megamix by discocheese

If you have been living in a cave, or somewhere like Ipswich perhaps, you might not have picked up on Major Lazer's exellent bombastic bashment album project 'Guns don't kill people, Lazer's do'.

We recomend you buy the album, but to wet your appetite we have posted a link to this excellent re-rub by dj cheezy p. There is a whole 'assload' of mixes at our friends blog http://schakkerhart.com/ (60 in total)

We also have to thank the excellent chromekids for tipping us off on this one

RESPECT FESTIVAL SEPTEMBER 26TH, 2009

Here is a heads up on this years Respect Festival; an event that is very dear in our hearts, and is growing each year into a major event for Suffolk and the region. The event promotes unity and diversity in the area and combines with the Ipswich Carnival and the organisation 'Love Music, Hate Racism' as well as BBC 1xtra . Last years event was a huge success (See the videos below) but this year is going to be even bigger with the event taking place at the prestigious new Suffolk University Building on the Waterfront (See picture below). As usual there will be a fantastic selection of food, stalls, workshops and more. Last year saw Big Brother Finalist, Darnell Swallow, perform at the stage on the Suffolk College campus and of course acts from Blessed Love Studio who travelled from London and were knocked out by the response from the crowd. Another highlight was performances from young artists from The Waterfront Community Centre's Youth Music Club that BLS helps run.

We already know the identity of this years headliner but are sworn to secrecy, but you can be sure that they are a big star who draws even bigger headlines and......oh i better stop before i give it away!

This years venue for Respect : Suffolk University Campus,Ipswich

Old Skool Funk & Hip Hop Mix

Old school funk party mixtape by blessedlovestudio

We are now hosting our mixtapes and mash ups with soundcloud.com who provide a much more user friendly experience; and to celebrate this fact here is a vintage mix of funk and hip hop classics from a set performed at mine and DJ Crash n Burns 'Supraphon' night that ran for nearly five years at The Vibe Bar on Brick Lane. Those were the days, Sticky eyes and smokey floors(?) and endless 'party breaks' and rare groove classics till late into the night (Well 1am at the latest thanks to 'morality police' at Tower Hamlets licencing department) This is for those that remember.

Bass Culture Vol. 1 by blessedlovestudio

Part one has been downloaded 340 times from djmixtape.net to date, and i hope part two is as popular. It took so long to complete this one because i was waiting for a couple of tracks to come out like Ms Dynamites 'Bad Gyal', but i still have not got my copy yet so it will have to wait till vol 3.

Like Part One the mix is not exclusively from UK artists, but they are all tracks that have become associated and championed by the UK black music scene in general.
