A big thanks to Foundation for getting me to play last week, I had a great time. Tonight is their residents session at the Yardbird and free in as always so pop down if you get the chance. Also thanks to everyone who came out to the Jibbering Session last week, Munchbreak, The Dhol Blasters and JStar all rocked it with a nice vibe all night. Roy Ayers was cool on Sunday at the Hare and Hounds
Continuing the trend of CD only albums there have been some great ones out recently, heres my current two favourites and if any related labels / artists read this then why no vinyl????????

Giving an early heads up on the Rising Styles and Afrolution Launch Night @ Cargo, heres the info, get your tickets fromCargo... KALA PHOOL in association with AFROLUTION presents:
The UKs largest International Hip Hop Festival launches its 2008 programme with a phenomenal line up of UK and International artists. This night will be a celebration of Hip Hop culture in all its forms: fashion showcase, breakdancing, and of course, the music. You’re invited along to be part of something special.
Tonight see's Replife from Oakland perform at the Yardbird for Foundation Collective who guested on Mondays radio show, unfortunately gremlins in the system means theres no playlist but I can tell you the Foundation boys dug out some classic mid 90's joints while I played mainly new stuff, happy listening, I'll try and type up the tracklist if I get the chance.
Kurious Demo's have started to make there way out to the public, props to Werner Von Wallenrodfor the first review, peep it hereand read plenty of other great interviews and write ups. Not many copies of the vinyl left so be quick!
Shouts to S-Type, Kosyne, Kela, Prolifik, Budgie, Leatherface, Sivey and Jaisu, peep the video for the science... I'll get the new Louis Den ish up as soon as I can too.
Unfortunately KL fromthe group Screwball passed away last week due to an asthma attack, condolencies to his family and friends, head over to Unkutfor some great tunes and some history. I've got a pair of tickets (FREE TICKETS!!!!)to give away to see Roots Manuva and MK at Koko next Saturday (thats the 12th Mo fugga's) with the Shape of Broad Minds in support (Don't know if it'll just be Jneiro but we'll see) all you gotta do is email me, first to do so gets the tickets. I was going to set a hard question like what record is Roots Manuva's first vocal apperance but I'm not sure anyone actually cares so just email me! The Apples destroyed the Yardbird on Tuesday night and their new album is blinding, we've got copies exclusively at Jibberingif your quick (it's not out officially till May!!!) it's only on CD as they're still waiting on the wax, still a worthy purchase.
Tomorrow is the Jibbering Session at the Hare and Hounds,info on the flyer above. Can't forget to mention that Funkbox are supporting Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings next Sunday at the Yardbird, hope you've got tickets already as it's sold out.
Kam's also started a dope little blog worth a gander including some nice downloads of mixes, tracks and some nice pictures.
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?
