Gigs, Roots, Crakk and Ting...

Shout to Fatlace Magazine and New Music Strategies for the cyber props (word is they're worth more than the $ at the moment!), both experts in their respective fields so see what nice things they have to say.

The Digital Is Dangerous Campaign has made the Birmingham Post too, read about it here!

Xmas Cypher Show, Gigs and things...

Cypher show last night so no real playlist, I've written one anyway and thanks to all the emcees who made it, repeat shows next week and on New Years day cause I'm DJ'ing at the Yardbird with the rest of Funkbox and the Foundation Collective, details here. The station have promised to play the show with Pneumatic, Arkaic and Eurgh that they couldn't find?!? from a few weeks back. I'll be back in the New Year with a best of 2007 show. Natural Self is playing for us at the Yardbird on Friday for Funkbox last few have been rammed so try and get down early.

Fatlace have posted some great stuff recently including interviews with Greg Nice and Tuff City's Aaron Fuchs. Robbies continued his sterling work at Unkut with interviews with Show(biz), NYG'z, Percee P and some nice posts about Royal Flush who the majority of you won't be remotely interested in but I think is very slept on, in fact I'm going to Ice Down some Medallions now. A great festive mix is available for free download from Beat Street here. What else is the internet good for?

have a great Christmas and New Year
