Time Machine – The Groove that Just Won’t Stop

June 13, 2008

Yes yes y’all… its soo hot in the NYC today the buildings are melting… what we need is some latin fuelled rap goodness to party in the sweet sunshine…

Nothing better than this top nugget from the Time Machine

Been meaning to put a post about these up for a while. The indie true skoolers had a good release a couple of years ago with the LP “Slow your Roll”. Now they are back and the new stuff is sounding fresher than ever.

Feel the love we got for these boys and pay them a visit at their mySpace site

Justice – Stress ! French Chav’s Run Riot….

May 20, 2008

French social commentary or mindless yoot thuggery……you decide!

If you haven’t seen the 1995 classic French film La Haine buy it or rent it, don’t be put off by the subtitles its one of the most watchable subtitled films ever. This also tackles the social problems facing French inner city youth’s which have been ignored, causing flashpoint riot’s most recently and over the past few decades!

Social commentary and politic’s aside it contains the classic mix Cut Killer: Fuck tha Police which contains  KRS-One: Sound of the Police over the top of Edith Piaf: Non je ne Regrette Rien which is pure genius!


Dead Prez – Bigger Than Hip Hop (Ghetto House refix)

May 16, 2008

Oh dear there are some remixes that you think won’t work but then do… toodla t and Hot chip anyone?

However at another level there are some tracks that should never be remixed by anyone.

Dead Prez – Bigger than hip hop falls under this banner…. loved by ol skoolers , new coolers and just foolers this track is sacred next to De la souls – eye know and ATCQ – Scenario.

Step in the arena flufftronix

He’s gone where no man should have gone at all… he’s remixed that shit!!

Who does this guy think he is other than a hipster with a lame hoodie! Well he’s done a good job.
For you pleasure here is:

PS you might be able to find his “shark step” anthem shark attack if you have a look here but i wouldn’t …. its scarey stuff


Cadence Weapon – House Music

April 18, 2008

The album Afterparty babies dropped at the beginning of last month.

Since then Cadence Weapon has been getting some serious blog love
herehere and here

This week the canadian drops a massive piece of vinyl on the UK shores with
the monster mover House Music

Cadence Weapon – House Music

Cadence Weapon - House Music (A1 Bassline remix)

This is a top ten entry into the CMYK playlist. Whats on your playlist at the moment?
Any other canadian RapRave we’re missing out on?


Control the hype

March 25, 2008

Well SXSW is over and the blogs to be seen in are pumping the hype…

CMYK weren’t there :(
Not that we’re bitter but we would have loved to get on that rave.

Anyway checkin the fools gold site  we found a great performance vid of
Kid Sister doing her thing with Control

This is constant rotation track for the freelove Djs.
You probably heard her on the beeper track from Count and Sinden.

Well apparently her solo album drop soon. We’ll be post more about the sister soon.


Tape it up

March 23, 2008

The freelove DJs are working on a top draw mix for you good people…watch this space.

In the meantime check out some real mix skills…not on vinyl, not from a laptop
but from the old C90s..

You gotta give it to DJ Ramsey, these skills are difficult enough on conventional turntables…
on a set of tape decks this is TWISTED…

You might need to watch this twice and ask for a witness to confirm what you just seen
