Airhead / #pipedown03.
July 2nd, 2010So #pipedown03 is tomorrow. Jeez. Airhead is the only person we haven’t featured on the blog thus far even though he could well be the most interesting. After the Pembroke EP with James Blake, a tune on Scuba’s Sub:stance compilation and a mix on Mary Anne Hobbs the rest of 2010 promises to be an [...]
Pirate Mentality / A Keysound Interview #pipedown02.
March 29th, 2010So #pipedown02 is only two days away, I hope you’re ready. In anticipation I’ve had Blackdown, LHF’s DJ Amen-Ra and Kowton in conversation (sadly Dusk couldn’t get his stuff over, we’ll have to do something another time). The interview reads as all things past and future for Keysound, about locations and pirates, one of the [...]
Awfully Deep / Roots Manuva.
March 9th, 2010Roots Manuva is a figure you’ll be more than familiar with, one of the first to really show that the UK could do hip hop and, more importantly, do it with as much style and swagger as their US counterparts whilst still being true to their roots. He made THAT song that has become embedded [...]
James Blake #pipedown01.
January 26th, 2010pipedown#01 has finally come around, it’s tomorrow. Posts have been a bit focused on the night as of recent but I hope even if you don’t live in London or can’t make it to the night then you have at least found the content of interest. I jumped on iChat with our headliner and friend, [...]
Slugabed.
January 20th, 2010With a record on Planet Mu dropping shortly, man of the moment Slugabed is pretty busy but the jester took time out his schedule for us… + Pipedown: Yo Slugs, Planet Mu EP forthcoming, how you feel about that? Swagga levels must have gone through the roof yeah? Slugabed: Got the Maybach, Caddie and Chevy [...]
Bump-hop, post funk, synthed-up woomp.
June 27th, 2009At the beginning of this year I got turned onto several french producers making music loosely formed around hiphop but with heavy influence from gfunk synths and that thing formally known as wonky, don’t be mistaken this isn’t Ed Banger 2.0 and I’m really glad of that. Here we got Débruit in conversation whose Congo [...]
Butterz?
May 21st, 2009Grime has had a bit of a rough time recently, though arguably the music is more exciting than ever, there was even a debate on Rinse the other week discussing whether it's dead or not. Sduk and I had grime DJ and writer Elijah Butterz in conversation. Butterz DJs on Rinse with Skilliam, runs a [...]
