JOSHUA BLACK – DUB SPOT

YO YO YO!!!!

Last month I posted about a night in Manchester called Dub Spot. My boy Joshua Black is one of the peeps behind it and has kindly made an exclusive 'NOT READY – DUB SPOT' mix tape for all y'all to feast on! Here's a little info on Joshua, some links and some pics from his night in Manchester.

Check these boys out, there are some familiar faces in the Dub Spot crew and some you faces you might not have had heard of. One thing is for sure that they are gonna blow in 2009!

So here it is.
ENJOY

DEVIATION

This was a couple of weeks back and I am the first person to rant on about how amazing KODE9 is, he really is genius, but I was a little disappointed with what I saw (or heard) a couple of Wednesday's ago. Anyone who has ever been to Deviation would be familiar with their distinct soul/hip-hop vibes. I have even heard some decent Detroit Techno there. But, this is where the problem begins.

It is my opinion that if you book an artist, you book them for what they are famed for, or at least book them to mix it up a bit. I was expecting something a little different from KODE9, as I said in my original post, just not the same as what Benji plays on an average night at Deviation. I am not sure if KODE9 felt the pressure of playing at such an established night and felt he had to play for the crowd (I very much doubt it), or if the Deviation boys felt that they were pulling out the stops by getting him to play something that NOBODY expected him to play... either way I was not impressed.

Lets just say it was beyond being obvious. Call me me cynical but, Deviation missed a trick and could have really given their usual crowd something to think about, a little lesson in what KODE9 is really about.

Shame really. Roll on Harmonic 313.

HELLOOOOOO!!!!!

It's been a while as I have been moving house and sorting my life out for the last few weeks. I am finally working again after a long lay off, as the recession moves into top gear! I think that it is safe to say that I am bored of the recession now, the novelty has worn off. Not having a job really wasn't that fun.

So from the snow, to DIY, I thought I would post up some pics of what I have been doing for the last couple of months, before I get into the juicy bits...

ENJOY!

WORD!

I have been mad busy, so check back later today or tomorrow for hella posts, but here is something jokes to keep you smiling in between.

ENJOY!
