Check out this fantastic mix tape Pinkunoizu made for Everybody’s Stalking ahead of the release of their ‘Second Amendment‘ EP released on Monday May 6th.
Perfect for a sunny day. Or any day really. Or night for that matter. Anyway, it’s awesome
The musical world of Jo Bartlett and Danny Hagan
We tried to broaden the remit with this one. A fantastic night of British hip hop. First up, from Chorley just outside Manchester, Krispy 3.
And, recorded live on the night, thanks again to Dave Driscoll. Check it out, hear Aldershot jumping.
‘dig the music and follow the words, this is the sound of the suburbs’ Love it.
Then, from Hulme in Manchester, The Ruthless Rap Assassins. Kermit from this group went on to form Black Grape with Shaun Ryder.
And recorded on the night…listening back to these recordings – I’d forgotten what an amazing night this had been. I feel really proud to have put these two ground breaking British acts on.
Awesome stuff.
