Disco Scratch Radio 13 – King Of The Biscuits Part 1

Posted by Waxer | Posted in Disco Scratch Stuff | Posted on 23-07-2010

There can be only one!

Well, Disco Scratch has officially slotted into a sub sub sub sub subculture.  We corner the global market of biscuit & Hip Hop enthusiasts, there is no doubt!!!  As I did a 4 hour special, I got into the mix for the first couple of hours then ran the show with the official KOTB theme at 9PM, so I chopped it in 2 so you can cop both parts and keep the length of the MP3 down a bit.

So for anyone new to DS or to the site, we rocked it like this.  It became a bit of an in joke on the show how us old buggers would meet once a week, get nerdy & drink tea & scoff biccies while listening to hardcore Hip Hop.  A couple of weeks back I had to hang my head in shame while I chomped on Asda’s own flavourless chocolate biscuits while all the others repped hard with various nang biscuits!  So I offered up a challenge, get your most gangster bix (geddit?), your finest tea set, some old tunes and any other old school related bits and bobs, get yourself in the picture and make sure there’s something from DS in the background.  I wasn’t disappointed and here are the results!

So here are the entries for the KOTB contest last night, what a quality night thanks soooo much for all that supported it was wicked!

So, here’s my old chum Ridlas:


Rockin the fresh Hijack Tee, points for that, Star Wars hat gets props, graf cup, feelin the biscuits but can’t see Disco Scratch anywhere, had to mark you down for that!  Nice to get a late entry from Ridla though and nice one for getting it over on the e-mail…

Next is my man LGs:

This was super tough to judge, he’s got it all going on here, note the quality M & S posh biscuits, also rockin a super dope Hijack Tee with the fly balaclave in true britcore style, with Disco Scratch Radio in the background (extra nerd points for being on a mac!) Great entry…

Next up is homeslice Chris Zero:

Now out of the entries I think he tipped the scales with the most gangster biccies, I mean Wagon Wheel is like mid way to a different type of snack but still carries weight in the biscuit category, I know the judges were undecided as whether a Wagon Wheel could be accepted as an entry, but after referral to the EU Chris got the all clear.  So, let’s see what else is in this one… Hob Nobs also make for a well endowed fly biscuit so if there were sub categories he’d get the biscuit gangsterness category.  Also rockin the Hardnoise 12 same as Repo, slightly disappointed not to see serve tea then murder, after all that is the DS anthem!  Still, a fine array of music and great entry.

This one’s from big show supporter Bunkernut:

Fine choice with the biscuits mucker, plus you actually got your kipper in your picture so bonus points there… nice Kold Sweat 12 on the deck, but your points went zooming up by actually getting a family member involved!!! Love the picture your daughter drew that is super dope and the addition of the picture top right, well…. Suits You Sir!!!!  Great pic making it sooooo hard to judge…

But, there had to be a winner, and here is that picture:

What a sublime effort, the 80s movie mags, the old electro mag, the record selection, the biscuits, DS on the MBP, it’s all there…

Super dope entry Repo, I hereby crown you King Of The Biscuits 2010, GIVE IT UP!!!!

Disco Scratch Update

Posted by Waxer | Posted in Disco Scratch Stuff | Posted on 18-07-2010

Just a quickie to let you know DSR will be taking over tha airwaves for 4 hours this Thursday (22nd July 2010), I’m covering Random’s show at 7PM then continuing into the normal slot until 11pm.  This week will feature the King Of The Biscuit competition plus the usual japery and old school banter, streaming live on Sensei FM and Freestyle FM

KOTB will be at 10 o’clock, plus I’ll be starting a couple of new features in the show, regular competitions (with ACTUAL prizes!), like the DSR Pub Quiz for all old school UK nerds, the DSR chart (need to get the formula for this yet, not sure how to go about this one but I want to do some sort of chart each week, just a top 10)

Also, some of you have seen my new found drumming “skill” on youtube… so for a laugh I decided to take requests in the forum, here’s the dire performance in all its’ glory:

YouTube Preview Image

I’ll be putting a choice of 4 old school bangers for you to vote on, first vote is already up here, so click that & get yourself registered to vote if you’re not already in the forum.

The shop has had to take a backseat for the moment for various reasons, should be up around autumn… lastly, seriously thinking of doing a Christmas event this year so looking for possible ideas for that soon…

Review – Solid N Mind – Centre Stage

Posted by Waxer | Posted in Disco Scratch Stuff, Reviews | Posted on 21-06-2010

A few months back my attention was drawn to a thread in the Diggers With Gratitude forum about a new release of an old record.  I can’t for the life of me think where the hell I first heard this (I’m usually wrong anyway!), but I was greeted with an awesome typically UK centric slice of late 80s/early 90s uptempo Hip Hop bomb.

The first thing that hit me was that it was a “name that sample” fest.  This track uses a lot of well known samples on top of each other, but the flip, “Woke With Nuthin’” really pushes the boat out, it’s like licking an ice cream with a dozen scoops of different flavours in one cone and naming the flavours as quickly as possible.  Sounds like an abomination right?  Actually both tracks work really well.

Centre stage uses samples from BT Express’s “The House Is Smokin” in the chorus (found on 3rd Bass’s “Triple Stage Darkness”), James Brown’s “Mind Power” making the main break, underpinned by the drums used in the BDP remix of Steady B’s “Serious”, The Turtles “I’m Chief Kamanawanalea (We’re the Royal Macadamia Nuts)”.  This is a heady mix of well used samples, but really works well.  There’s even a touch of Nautilus on the chorus, the same part used by Run DMC in “Beats to the Rhyme”.

Whirlwind D (Rhyme Traveller) drops heart felt verbals complimenting the track nicely.  The tracks were cleaned up and engineered by The Assembly Worker (of Crown Jewels fame), added some spice, a little 808 and made it a nice fat booming sound..  The rhymes are not over complicated, braggadocio and ride nicely and on tempo.  From the scene as I remember it back then, most UK stuff was slowing down by 1991 and this would have felt more “right” (?) around 1988 or 1989.  Certainly if you dropped this in a mix it would sound right at home amongst a mix of UK & US tunes from that time.  The track was originally released in 1991 on cassette and I was really chuffed that this has now had a proper release.

I know I’m a bit late on this, most forums would have picked this track to bits & reassembled it 6 months ago, but I got this fresh plastic in the post a couple of days ago courtesy of Rhyme Traveller and it simply can’t just float by without a full review.  Showing on the label as “Liberty Grooves 2 1/2″ this was originally going to be lib003.  You can see the LG discography here

Here’s the track on YouTube:

YouTube Preview Image

The flip is another mix of well known samples, working in harmony to give it a more elevated feel than the a side.  By that I mean it’s not as hard, but equally listenable.  Starting with the break used on the track “Black Woman” by the Jungle Brothers (Commodores, “Assembly Line” off the Machine Gun LP), then layered over the top after the first 8 bars is the classic UFO break by ESG with Dexter Wansel’s “Theme From The Planets” (Kid n Play’s “Last Night”) holding it together.  As if that concoction wasn’t enough, when Whirlwind D starts rhyming, we hear Isaac Hayes’ “Ike’s Mood” (most famously used in the classic Biz Markie track “Make The Music With Your Mouth”.  This seems to go hand in hand with the Commodores and gives the track a floaty feel.

Johnny F is on production and some nice reverse loop effects add to the ingenuity of this track.  Cuts on both tracks are basic but effective (reminding me of the section from the Bizzie Boys “Droppin’ It” where he says “Here is an example of a complicated cut” followed by a complex scratch, then the DJ drops a simple but funky cut and it feels far better.  The same is true on this 12 and  think Q Bert strength scratches would have fallen by the wayside.

The lyrical elements show Whirlwind being more diverse and shows a nice flex on the rhymes.  ”The rich 10% don’t know what it’s like” he rhymes as he flows about waking up with nothing.  He contemplates how people like to do things in life just to make them feel better, when they could probably do loads more if they could be arsed!  Speaking from the perspective of a guy on the street he completes the rhyme with “This morning boy I died with nothin”.  As my dear old mum used to say, “There are no pockets in shrouds”.

YouTube Preview Image

I was really refreshed with this 12 and I’ve rocked it several times, it will definitely become a stalwart on the radio show.  You get a vocal, instrumental and the demo version on each side.  If you’re interested in buying a copy there are still a few floating about, you could hit Rhyme Traveller up in the Disco Scratch forum, or get him on facebook.  Disorda may have some and as at the time of writing you can cop one at Rarekind.  I strongly recommend picking this up, cos when it’s gone it won’t be repressed, a wicked slice of UK history.

If you have anything you would like to submit for review, use the contact page give me some details and I’ll give you an address to send me your wax…

Nuff respect to Rhyme Traveller for the hook up, ta mate!

 

Disco Scratch Radio 8 – 1989 Special

Posted by Waxer | Posted in Ageing B Boys Unite!, Disco Scratch Podcast, Disco Scratch Radio, Disco Scratch Stuff, MP3 Download, Repo136, Simon Harris, UK Hip Hop History, UK Hip Hop Radio Shows | Posted on 11-06-2010

Yes that’s right, grab your Motorola flip,stick a few cold Red Stripes in a bag,  borrow your mums car and drive up a hill nearby as you move your aerial about to listen to the dulcit tones of WaxOnWaxOff as he defecates in your ear canals with the dopest flavours from the UK, 21 years ago!  This week I was dusting off some old tunes and I’d sorted out a load of stuff and the majority was from 1989.  Upon closer inspection it dawned on me that 1989 was probably the best year for the UK and decided to do a 1989 special.

The tracks I play are full of wicked lyrical skills, def production, I mean cutting up stabs on top of breaks, like James Brown & The Meters while top rappers deliver raps so sharp you imagine them in pain after they finish rhyming, cutting the insides of their mouths with the razor sharp verbals.

This show takes you back to a time when the UK were HUNGRY for Hip Hop and keen to split from the US and stand on their own.  The UK had by this time got a solid enough base of radio stations, venues, record shops, producers, labels, engineers, club DJS and such to be self supportive and this show proves that.  Listen to the shout outs at the end of the MC Mello tracks “Bizzie Rhymin” to hear a nice slice of who was making the most noise at the time.

The only downer with this show is that I had a few gremlins in the studio last night and couldn’t record it at high quality and for some reason the stream went out at a lower quality so it’s not as bright as usual… but maybe that was fate?  Maybe someone used the force to manipulate that to give it a dusty tinge to replicate those static filled tapes from 1989, with the odd burst of the local taxi firm overriding your tape recording.  Still, the Disco Scratch logo was shone into the night, and the red Scratch phone rang at Repo136′s yard, where a mighty voice from one of the generals of the UK Army’s front line on maneuvers told me it was OK… he was recording…  download is at the bottom of the post after the tracklist…. Enjoy this show and get on next week for UK LEGEND MC DUKE!!!

RANT!

Posted by Waxer | Posted in Disco Scratch Stuff | Posted on 04-06-2010

I decided to add a comment to a post I saw on the Wener von Wallenrod humble little Hip Hop Blog.  If you don’t know this site, it’s great and Werner adds fascinating posts about all types of nerdy Hip Hop shit that we all love.  He’s a bit like the US version of Mr Krum.

Anyway, he wrote a post about how MP3s are affecting music sales, it was an excellent read and while commenting on it, I found myself ranting and thought I should post it up here.

Here’s the link to Werner’s post:

http://wernervonwallenrod.blogspot.com/2010/05/home-taping-hurr-durr.html

I’ve copied it and pasted it here:

“Home Taping” Hurr Durr

I’m not a musician. I have some sympathy for the artist – seemingly more than most hip-hop bloggers today – but I generally leave them to fight their own battles. Illegal downloading killing your career? Well, maybe if you’d pressed up your album I would’ve supported, but you didn’t care so I don’t.

There is however, one point I feel compelled to make, just because I see so many people get it wrong in online discussions. It’s frustrating, damn it.

We’ve all seen it. The usual “mp3s are killing music!” versus “artists need to adapt!” debates, and someone ironically posts the old “HOME TAPING IS KILLING MUSIC” logo (which did have a pretty awesome image, I must admit). Laugh at how paranoid and foolish the music was for thinking taping stuff off the radio, or making cassette copies of albums, would topple the music industry. I mean, they probably did lose some revenue, but don’t look at that. The joke is how senseless they were being.

But here’s where the comparison really becomes invalid:

1) This is a lesser point, but I’ll throw it out there anyway. Home taping still required blank tapes. It was substantially cheaper than buying a proper cassette album Sam Goody’s, but there was still a discouraging expense involved that isn’t there in sharing mp3s. This is marginal (but still a factor) if we’re talking me hooking a friend up with a tape of an album. But it’s huge when you compare the cost of uploading one mp3 to a site like Zshare for free and having hundreds – or even theoretically potentially billions – download it verses the cost of buying a blank tape for every one of those people.

2) But more importantly, that the internet is killing the distribution gatekeepers… which for the most part, I’ll happily concede, is a good thing. What that means, however, is that the labels, the stores, etc. no longer have any say in what music you get. In olden days, if no music store in your area stocked the album you wanted, you were SOL (shit outta luck). And I’m not just talking about, “damn, my local Sam Goody’s doesn’t carry Esham’s first EP!” What they didn’t stock were album dubs. You couldn’t say, hey let me pass on that $10 album and get the $1 dub of it instead. But now on the internet, it’s just as easy (if not easier) to download something free and illegal as it is to get it legally.

3) A dubbed cassette tape, with a generic Maxwell or whatever logo and the title of the album written in ballpoint pen seriously lacked the luster of a proper album, with the track-listing printed nicely on the tape, and of course the fold-out cover art and liner notes. But an mp3 from Amazon or Itunes has no advantage of an mp3 you snagged off of Soulseek or some random blog. In fact, with issues like DRM, the illegal copy might just be better.

So, anyway, my point isn’t to make a grandstand against internet piracy or anything like that. It just irks me when people make the “home taping” point without any realization or acknowledgment of how off-base a comparison it is. And even if you want to pull a “well, that’s just, like, your opinion, man,” on me, I think a look at the Soundscan numbers after the rise of home taping versus the after the rise of Napster will show an incredibly vast distinction in declining sales.

So, go ahead. Continue to download everything you like. I don’t care. Just don’t throw that cassette and crossbones logo into any more message board debates as if you’d just intellectually crushed the opposition.

And here’s my comment:

This is a great post and there is a key sentence that you wrote: “Illegal downloading killing your career? Well, maybe if you’d pressed up your album I would’ve supported, but you didn’t care so I don’t.”  That’s it right there… ANYONE can knock a track up and post it online anywhere for free.  It might be the modern “Nation Of Millions” LP for all we know, but throwing up MP3s is crazy wack.

In the UK there are DJs that refuse to play MP3s of any description.  Why you ask?  Well if you believed in your music enough, you’d press a dubplate of it, or even a run of 50 copies (it’s cheap anough now) and send them out to DJs.  If a rip of it comes online somewhere, you know one of the DJs you sent it to has ripped it and shared it.  Want to keep it exclusive?  Get just 1 test press done and only give it to one big DJ to break that track, make it a signature track, OR, post out about 20 copies to DJs but give individual DJs a dub with a VIP version of it, very popular with Drum and Bass DJs here.  People should stop fucking bitching about losing sales and either just accept that there’s no money in it and carry on, or only put stuff out on wax.  Fuck MP3s & fuck Serato, in fact fuck the internet too!!

If I could switch the internet off today I would, get the independent record shops back in business and meet up with friends in a record shop on a Saturday afternoon when the distribution van turns up with precious new sealed import 12s to salivate over, even outbid your mates for that exclusive shit, play it on the pirate radio stations, do mixtapes that you can’t get anywhere else except from that particular DJ.

In fact fuck CDs too, too easy to copy, in fact, FUCK COMPUTERS as well!!!!  I was more than happy with an s1000 and a 4 track recorder back in the early 90s.  You could argue against me here, the fact that we couldn’t share all this knowledge without the internet, but so what, these days no one actually GETS INTO NEW MUSIC anyway, it’s a one listen free download and throw it away.  If the only medium was Wax or even cassetts, you’d listen to those shits cos rewinding your walkman uses too much battery, so you listen to them shits all the way through, even the wack cuts like I Need Love on “I’m Bad”, yes, I know all the words cos I couldn’t afford muthafuckin batteries all the time.  FUCKIN GREAT POST, GREAT BLOG AND LETS ALL GET IN A TIME MACHINE, GO BACK TO 1985 AND EXECUTE THE INVENTER OF CD WRITERS AND THE INTERNET!!!!!  Nuff respect, WAXER.

Comments?  Hates?  Loves?  Let me know, I thought all Disco Scratch readers should see this…
