DOWNLOAD LINK
http://www.mediafire.com/?g1fi77gjfqfxs6a

Possibly the maddest Radio Session lineup I've ever been involved in. Everyone brought their game on the night - pure studio vibes with crew getting hype, tunes getting pulled, beers getting spilt, selectors going in selecting loose and rowdy! Favourite moments include Ralph LTF and RK running some next-ish from Sunday Roast and Murlo early on, a steely dan juke-jam from Rashad + Spinn and Big Narstee of NAA shouting 'AAAAAAH' for the forward when Mosca drops his dub of Spooky's Spartan (86mins).

My Swing Ting guest mix starts at around 32mins:

1. Funky twinz - energizer (samrai dub)
2. Swing ting - creepin (fat city 14/11/11)
3. Lady chann / glamma kid / sticky - informer (dub)
4. Underground distortion - everything is large (andy mowat's mix)
5. xxxy vs samrai - calango (dub)
6. zed bias - been here before
7. platt - dig (dub)

STRATS Free Pre-Season Training Mixtape!

2011-08-08T14:54:00.002+01:00

Strategy of Broke'n'£nglish drops a warm-up mixtape whetting appetites in preparation for the full long player soon to follow. Made in just two weeks at their new studio space in Salford it's great to see Umbro funding put to such immediate use.

pre-season training 2011

Strats comes in hard and hungry on the title cut before sharing a personal narrative of youthful days coming to terms with a 'LifeontheCostadelSalford'. On 'Sickadanu' featuring a humorously pitched-down patois hook Strats skillfully switches between a Jamaican / Manc flow warning Mc's to step down, however, it's on the Dub Phizik's produced 'Bleep Test' where he technically murders all the wannabe MC's out there; few can sound comfortable moving from 95 to 170bpm in just 2 minutes!

'Lengbreak' and 'Quitter' deal with the high-price of herb leading to the decision to get serious, stop smoking and 'get yourself in gear'; youths listen up as it seems to be doing the trick when the whole squad roll through sounding focussed on the chilling Chimpo produced 'Referendum', a perfect backdrop for Konny Kon (a problem), DRS (a nuisance) and Strats (a pest) to flex a their style, swagga and bravado.

However, it's the honesty and soulfulness of 'Kill Em' and 'Biblical Times' that truly stand out as poignant, moving and enlightening pieces; dealing with misery, disappointment, choices, stress, Semtex and a failed deal with Def Jam yet it's these problems seem to have made Strats stronger, wiser and frighteningly determined. Looks like it's going to be an exciting season to come...

HOTMILK - Manchester's Baddest Bashment?

2010-04-08T15:36:00.012+01:00

Since relocating to the North-West in '06 HOTMILK's monthly session has consistently remained a must-reach dance in my diary. I hold my hand up to taking a schooling in Reggae and Dancehall from selectors/soundboys Joey B, Irish Mash and the Riddim Master (now reppin Freshneck down South). Shouts to Jean-Luc and Big Man Sam K working hard keeping the vibes right over the years.

Strictly quality control Rocksteady/Roots/Lovers/Dancehall/Ragga/Bashment/Up-to-the-time and beyond (Grime/Dirty South/Bassline) keep the dance bubbling till the early hours, however, unlike many other events the resident sound's untouchable selection are the attraction - accessible yet extensive knowledge and coverage of Jamaican styles, educating yet entertaining - deepest dubwise to rowdiest bashment! Irish Mash aka Eoin Macmanus' amazingly eye-catching flyer designs(see below) add another level to the brand balancing humour, colour and a keen eye for relevant images; (i've got an old one featuring Shabba Ranks riding a stick-horse) making him in-demand for more than just his selecting.

Bigtime vocalists and guest DJ's from local to international have passed through the club including Warrior Queen, Tippa Irie, Deadly Dragon, the Heatwave, Toddla T and Tappa Benz but some of the best sessions are arguably when Guiding Star Hi-Fi handle the controls alone jugglin' Jamaican tune old to new all night long alongside local MC's/Hosts who can jump on a big riddim when the dance is at it's liveliest.

This month's session Friday April 9th (make note every 2nd Friday@the Roadhouse, Newton Street, Mcr) features Guiding Star drawing nuff of the roughest, toughest 80's Digikal, 90's dancehall + up-to-the-time check Mash's weighty soundtape for a taste of what to expect. On the night the original Mr Fox shall be holdin down the microphone h.o.t. from the recent collab ep with Zed Bias and Mj Cole...

It was a pleasure to invite Hotmilk crew Joey B and Irish Mash guest on our Swing Ting Sessions radio show last March '09 for a little friendly fire - Nuff jokes in the studio and many peoples locked-in live! I've uploaded a segment from the archive I'm particularly fond of here ft. Punanny, Peanie Peanie + More.

+ highly recommended is the Roots / Revives session at Dulcimer, Chorlton every 3rd Saturday of the month (pictured 1st).
