A Yo Mama New Years!



Come one come all.

As per the write up:

You ever get tired of those New Years Eves where you spend all night either waiting at the bar to get a drink, only to force your way onto a dancefloor where you can’t breathe or dance, while the guy next to you throws beer onto your fresh-out-the-box trainers?

Yeah us too, so this year lets do it right!

Two of London’s freshest, finest and most fleet footed promoters invite you to a night of good vibes, good music and most importantly the best footwork this side of a Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire box set! This is going to be live people, ITS GOING TO BE LIVE!!!

YO MAMA! ROOM
Its been a year since Yo Mama settled at Catch with their mix of Hip Hop, Baltimore Club, Baile Funk and Gully pleasures. For New Years eve expect more disses than ever before, more decorations, and treats provided especially by yo mama to bring that party flavour!

DJs:

-> THE BOOGALOO CREW (Trouble Vision)
These talented young producers started out mixing a combination of Baltimore Club beats with garage rhythms and Hip Hop influences to a standard that is far too high, someone should stop them really.
-> CWD
Having cut his teeth playing with Diplo, South Rakkas Crew, Tittsworth & Ayres and many more painfully famous people, CWD is a master at what he does. Scratching, beat juggling, singing along to Ginuwine, you name it he does it!
-> JIGGY POP/SHOOK ONES (Why am I so beat?)
One of the resident DJs at new hip hop night Shook Ones, what he doesn’t know about Hip Hop isn’t worth knowing. A full range of real hip hop to make you get up there and move that ass!
-> YO MAMA DJs
Oxygen thieves. But they will make you dance so hard that your shoes will sue you.

PLAIN JANE'S ROOM:
The creative arts collective that knows how to shake a leg and nuh linga brings their unique and inimitable style to Catch. These guys set it off in a style like no other so don't miss out!

Luke H (Plain Janes Resident DJ)

Plain Jane resident DJ and artist extradonaire, Luke uses a mix of materials to create his work, whether that includes, film, graphic design or his decks. Yeah he's an artist but don't get it twisted he knows how to throw down a party in true PJ style, playing an ecletic mix of dubstep, electro, indie, pop and hip hop

Beatnik

Electrocution (7oel & Alex Da Kidd)

Fresh from playing all over the Ldn with Bangers & Mash and their own nights in Milton Keynes, the Electrocution DJ team is ready to ring in 2010 with lightening bolts. While playing ridiculously inappropriately funky opening sets for Friendly Fires, The Subways and Mpho amongst others this year they will play just about anything in their new Plain Janes residence!

Brad Strutter Motherfucker (said in Slim Thug voice)



So after Trill on Friday we were chilling outside Plan B and Skandal was outside selling his wares(His new Hunger Pains Mixtape mixed by the DJ who was on at the time inside the club, DJ MK). Prankster picked up a copy and I took a copy of the flyer, it wasn't until I got home that I noticed it featured Melbourne's own Brad Strut.



Man if I knew that at the time I would've copped it right then and there. I'm a fan of anything that Strutters does.

Back when we were both skinny.


Skandal feat. Brad Strut - Fuck A 9 to 5

Wow, just came across this, didn't realise he was in the UK.
The Barbican is so much more depressing irl, then it is in this video clip.

Rude Awakening



So back in 2002-2003 some mates put on a Drum & Bass/Jungle night called "Rude Awakening" where Zac Hayse would drop "Dread Bass" & Mason Camo would murder us with N20 dubplates. Ahh the good old days.

Anyways, I would have a little spin and this is my Intro that I would do live with the N20 breaks tools, Warhead and some acapella's.

Enjoy.

Good vibes indeed!

Grail x Trip Down Memory Lane



So stoked on getting another pair of my first DC's(different colorway mind you, I had the Navy's first time round), Rudy Johnson's from 1995.

Ed hooked me up with these, when he was working at Skatebiz. See the distributors were in QLD so we got first dibs on colorways e.t.c. and knew exactly how many pairs of each dropped in the whole of Australia, so we would pick the freshest colorways/ones that were limited and knew that no one else would be rocking em. Tight.

I skated the shit out of them, then I got Rob Dyrdek 3's:

(it was a sad day when the heel crumbled) when they dropped and the Rudy's got pushed to extra cirricular activities. See below:



After trying these badboys 14yrs on, they sure don't feel as comfy as back then.

But I do have Week's 63-97 on CD which I plan on sharing with y'all each week.

So without further ado:

Allow the excess scratching haha

Hamster Switch Realness



So after about 6hrs play and unlocking all songs, this game just gets better.



Playing DJ Shadow's, Z-Trip's & The Scratch Perverts tracks/remixes I had the most fun as it's the realest your going to come "scratching" in a video game setting.



Tried The Scratch Perverts - "Beats & Peices" on Expert and nearly damn near got ate up by the thing. It's one of dreams come true, scratching & video games. Yeah sure I have a better chance doing the cuts IRL, but hey it's just fun.



Plus my scratch hand is my left/fader right, so I've switched it up using my right(scratch)/left(fader) for the game and it's actually made my real life cuts and fader control better. That's after 4-5 hours of playing. No more Gripmaster, just get DJ Hero!!!



Another fun track: Daft Punk vs Hashim - "Robot Rock vs. Al Naafyish (The Soul)"

To This:

Epicness.

Go Bangs.

Bangs - Take You Right Thurr

DJ Hero Launch




Got to play it tonight ahead of the offical launch tomorrow. All i can say is Wow!

Just the right mix of real djing vs. button pressing(a la guitar hero).

Got 5 stars on the 4 songs I played on Medium, so moved up to Hard where real DJ skills get thrown into the mix: Transforming & Stabs(fwd and reverse). So stoked. Gary freaked out when I did my first spin back too haha.

I'm coppin' it first thing tomorrow.

Oh yeah Shadow wasn't a douche for once and played a good set. Nice one (but he was spinning premixed dubplate vinyl which seemed odd and cool at the same time).

Damn, nearly forgot about DJ Blakey's set, dude killed it. So good to hear cuts in the club again. Nobody cuts in London no more.

Shy FX & T-Power - Mercy

Bangers & Mash, This Saturday!



I'm playing in the Mini Bar.

Come one, come all. Holla at me for guestlist.

It's just like Streetparty, but in the UK!
