Started off the show with a selection of new cuts tonight… some were going down OK in the chatroom, others got the gasface!  You never know… I always try to break new music, some of the stuff I hadn’t even played myself so I was as blind as you guys… I quite like that though, cos it’s like I’m listening for the first time along with you lot…

So we had the phone number on air and received a couple of voicemails that I dropped before the chatroom selection, including some cyberman shenanigans from TJ Fresh!

Dropped a cut off the new EP Whirlwind D & Me are putting out also tonight, first exclusive play, also played the first worldwide airing of Pure Destructive Power from Hardnoise, many thanks to Gibo!

So what else a gwaarn… all the usual crowd in the chatroom, the subject of the tracks from the chatroom was the overkill of MoD presence with poxy snipers, the biggest battleship in the UK fleet, HMS Ocean docked in the Thames and all these f*cking surface to air missiles all over the gaff, I mean come on, REALLY?  That plus the fact I was iinstalling Turkish satelite for this dude this week and upon setting up the receiver in front of his non English speaking missus & 1 year old kid, you guessed it, mystery meat was playing the in and out game in full techniclolour… so, smut & destruction!

Thanks to all for locking in… Check back for news on Scenes14 doing a new show soon… Gonna rip Repo’s idea off and stick the tracklist in the comments below, so there!

As always, mad late on the post! Ripped MERCILESSLY and without a care in the world from the Don of sample drops main site:

Helloooooo everybodyyyyyyy. Hellooooooooo, na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-na-naaaaaaaa!!

So here it is, the April Edition of The Ageing B-Boys Unite! Takeover Show onDisco Scratch Radio which went out on the air yesterday evening.

I know I’m always banging on about getting in the chatroom each Thursday to get involved live when the Disco Scratch shows are on but last night was exceptional.

The chatroom was pretty full with such regulars as Inch, Hayhooooooe, Waxer, RobinS, Wock, RuseOne, Scenes, JimCee, Grixter, Bradski, Ridla, SteveB, Metronik, Sine, LG, CoolC all in attendance at sometime throughout the evening.
And we even had an honorary appearance from the man like Agent Finch for a fleeting time as well! Brraaapp!

As well as this there were some new faces such as SDK, myhiphophistory, deathop, SirGandalfSpamDigger (hmmmm…) and, er, Bob_James.

However there were two more newbies in the chat that I was very happy to see, namelyFuture Radio‘s very own Hip Hop Sessions regular, DJ Mr Eps who dropped in and fueled a Grange Hill debate. And also we had the legendary underground actress and ex-FUN Gallery owner, Patti Astor stop by and chat, too. You may remember Patti as ‘Virginia‘, the lady reporter in Wild Style. She regularly posts in the ABU! Facebook Group as well and drops serious knowledge and great anecdotes about the early 80′s hip hop scene in New York City.

There was a great vibe throughout the evening which made the session pretty special. Then there was a 30-minute bonus beat after-hours session with Waxer putting on some niceNautilus-related joints. And then…….. the mother of all Easter Eggs. If you were listening you would have heard the world’s first full-length play of ‘Strong‘ which is the opening track from the upcoming WD-40 EP from Whirlwind D & Waxer. Remember, anything played AFTER 11pm is not part of the download version of the show. This is all strictly live. There will be no re-runs, brother.

Big shout to my man, Ric Flair from the Strictly Business crew. These guys make some of the dopest and most comprehensive compilations known to man. Ric chose this month’s selection in the Album Spotlight section (seeComments for the reveal).

Thanks to EVERYONE to tuned in live last night and of course to anyone who is listening to the download. Your support is greatly appreciated. This is from the heart.

One Love.
Respect.
Truth is absolute.

At last… thanks to my mellow Whirlwind D, I have a record out before I’m 40!  Some of you may recall he came to the legendary POV and recorded 3 cuts with me back last year.  The idea was to release these tracks as a 12 or EP but I just couldn’t commit to anything cos of work etc… but D was like a dog with a bone and made me get off my arse & get this together… well, actually, he did it all I just turned up at the studio & drank Stella with Courvoisier chasers!!!

So, without further ado, you can pre-order your 12 from the man himself, here’s what you need:

WHIRLWIND D – WD-40 EP – Pre Orders are live!

Somewhere on a hard drive in the POV is DSR73… not sure where but I expect it’s an unnamed MP3… soon as I come across it I’ll upload it…

Plays us out with his selection of OC with Time’s Up…

Right, for a start, how gnikcuf stupid is the spelling of February… really?  I mean why doesn’t someone go to the powers that be and say… Look, the spelling of February is shit… people are still depressed from Christmas, darkness etc… the LAST thing they want is a badly spelled month.  FEBUARY… Right?  Fu*k a “R”!

Anyway, get your log ‘oles sound Uncle Repo doin’ damage like is only right… last nights show… ENJOY!

It’s all about the tapes… I went digging back through my crate of tapes and thought I’d rip this one… a few searches online proved fruitless with this tape… I’m not entirely sure where I picked this tape up from, maybe a record shop, around 1995… maybe Brighton or London…

Well, it’s a tape showing the skills of the British scratch DJs and features a lot of the DJs that were battling back then.  No track titles, just the names of teh DJs behind the tracks…

Side A:

DJ Hyste
DJ Kofi
Sir Beanz OBE
DJ Sticka
Jeepbeat Collective
DJ First Rate

Side B:

DJ Excel
Finestyler
DJ Format
Frikshun
Jay Le Surgeon

The rip is at 192kbps/44.1khz/16 bit/stereo mp3 (don’t think it’s worth ripping at 320 with the quality of the tape), it’s topped & tailed & side B follows side A straight on…

Well, interesting to see who remembers this tape, please add on a comment! Peace… more tape rips to come…

On a Thursday night at 9PM, you need to get in the chatroom to fully get the feel for the show… listening to the show without the context of the chatroom is…. well, a bit detached!

There’s always loads of banter and if you’ve been a long time listener without getting involved, make the next show your first in the chatroom… you’ll be well received and maybe join in every week!

Sample the delights of News at 10… when I sound off about whatever is going in both in my own little bubble or reality and whatever is penetrating the consciousness of the average Ageing B Boy!  This week I announced the Disco Scratch MixTape Swap (read more on that in the forum here)

Sup you crazy kids, the turbulence of the shutting down and control of public upload services made me look around to see how I could share all the past shows, tape rips etc.  So I discovered MixCloud has lifted their upper file size, length and volume of uploads, so this is a perfect platform for Disco Scratch Radio as it’s aimed squarely at radio, podcasts & mixes.

So, over the coming weeks/months/years as and when I get time I’ll be adding to the archive… it’s a slightly lengthy process, plumbing in all the information, but it’s worth it…

Here’s the first show… hopefully if I get a couple up a week within the year I should have caught up and get the show on there as soon as it’s done every week.

So, here’s the first ever Disco Scratch Radio show, broadcast on Freestyle FM on 08.04.2010, the day Malcolm Mclaren died, so I did a little tribute…
