Canada’s finest house producers hook up with Young Punx collaborator London rock singer Laura Kidd to Give You More…

Big respect to Example and his band for their Radio One live lounge performance including an awesome cover of Kesha Tik Tok. I was music director for this gig and worked with the band on the arrangements and rehearsals, but couldn’t make it to the gig as I was at MIDEM. But they did really well and rocked the show!

Check out D Double E from the awesome Newham Generals on a roll here delivering every car related rhyme and pun under the sun. Sweet. DIRTEE STANK IS THE LABEL!

Anyone want to know what my life is like?

It’s almost exactly like this:

Mofo Hifi label buddy and fellow fan of all things filthy and electronic, Sharooz, ain’t one to stay still for very long.  Evident in this, the latest from his vaults, somewhere mid-London via Miami.

As the debut for his new label, La Bombe, Sharroz has demonstrated how firmly his ear is stuck to the (dance)floor.  Getting much-hyped Miami wunderkind, SonicC, to give his forthcoming cut, ‘Saccharin‘, a damn good roughing-up is a touch.  And one that hasn’t gone unnoticed in blogspehere.  With the likes of Discodust, GottaDanceDirty, and Louis Louis all chomping at the bit to post the remix ahead of the game, this ‘high-rising’ sonic punch in the face gives La Bombe it’s first point on the score-card.

Somewhere outside the world of commercial hip hop, far from the controlling claws of the majors, lies a strange and wonderful world where an MC can produce a science rhyme about regurgitating Owls, should he so wish…

When we ain’t busting it hard with a fat bassline, we like things a bit deeper here at TYP HQ.  Surfacing towards the end of last year and already boasting an array of taste-maker DJ/blog support, dadahack is a new cross-country production duo made up from 1-part James Banbury (based in UK) and 1-part Pete Davis (based in Sweden).  The first material they have teased out under their dadahack moniker is a 5-track EP called ‘Hellos’; a heady mix of house, nu-disco, electro and sleaze.

The lead track ‘Hello Dust’ features vocals from Hannah Robinson, but for me it’s all about the sensational 11-minute gritty electro workout from Freelance Hellraiser that never ceases to tires my ears.

The ‘Hellos’ EP drops ahead of a clutch of forthcoming remixes and new tracks from the duo, paving the way for a dadahack album due for release in the next coming months.  The full ‘Hellos’ EP bundled with alternative remixes by håkan lidbo and Tranquility Bass can be purchased in high quality via the dadahack homepage.
