House raving in Manchester 1986 style

Amazing. House raving before house music 'officially' arrived in 1988 and the first summer of love. check the skanking. Big thanks to Greg 'electro funk' Wilson, for this.

Award winning short film - The Great Identity Swindle

I'm in this somewhere. Big up my boy Nikesh, aka Yamboy, one of only three people who have ever let me play records at their night. More fool him.

New Ruff Sqwad video

Looking slick. Ruff Sqwad is of course the crew from which a certain Tnchy Stryder emerged. Which is quite timely considering his choon No.1 is No.1 in the midweeks - which is usually a barometer of what will be No.1 come Sunday. This boy's grinding hard and appearing on very unexpected collaborations such as Gang Gang Dance, Toddla T, Frank Musik, which is all very clever and a great way of growing awareness of Tinchy.

Shifty Mixtape

A free mixtape, mixed by Rich Reason for Riz MC, in support of the film Shifty, which is out on Friday. I've been banging on about this film since December when I saw it at the London Film Festival for two reasons 1) it's a fantastic British film 2) my mate Riz is in it and is bloody good in it too.

Anyone that knows anything about British film and/or music will have been aware of Riz and the serious moves he's been making over the last couple of years - Shifty should make him known to a much wider audience. Got to say maximum respect for Riz's tight promo game, recording an exclusive track with Plan B and Sway, and then this mixtape just before the film's release. Wannabes? Watch and learn.

Anyway enough of my ramblings, here's the link and tracklisting (loving the variety)
