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!

Truly blessed to have a load of true Hip Hop fans in the chatroom tonight, loads of conversation & commentary… that’s what it’s all about… the music unites us, no doubt, but I try to use this as a soundscape to deliver opinions & attitudes based on what is going on in the world that affects the average Ageing B Boy!

Well, I’m a parent… and also a grafter… I run my own business… I was stuck on a ridiculously complicated job and I get a call off my nipper telling me he got hurt ballin’ tonight… on the way to A & E he says!… so ole’ Wax steams to A & E in Margate and makes sure the nipper is OK… back to Wax towers, set the shit up to broadcast & IT’S ON…

So this show is dedicated to my son, Byron… a TRUE SOLDIER, see him in the photo above?? Wrist is hurting but still he has a smile for Disco Scratch!  Bigup to Corrina for taking him to A & E and ensuring all is well…

Well, this week (today in fact) Megaupload got kicked to the curb by the nazi US government, I’m sure all the other file hosting companies will follow suit… if you are reading this PRECEDING listening to the show, then expect some FIRE to come from me ‘cos our culture LIVES & BREATHES through the intertubes these days…. it’s just the way it is… I didn’t invent this situation, I am a cog in a massive machine, so I try to use my position in that machine to push our culture and connections forward for the benefit of EVERYONE IN THIS SCENE.

I really hope things don’t go cu*t upwards… BUT if they do, we will go back to TAPES and distribute via POST!!!!!!! I assure you, myself & ALL ASSOCIATED FAMILY would be down to go back to the way it was 15 to 20 years ago, BELIEVE ME!!!!

I had a text off my homey Whirlwind D today saying he was on the radio tonight, so I logged in, pressed play and record, nabbed it and I’ve upped it to Disco Scratch for your listening pleasure. RT got the show courtesy of the kind people at UK Bass Radio

You can hear the man enjoying himself as he plays an hour of dusty vinyl from the back of the stack, rarities and well known jams from the very early days of rap, late 70s to early 80s. This man drops science and if you don’t know him, he’s a journalist while he’s not rockin’ the mic in Solid N Mind and has written many articles for Record Collector amongst many others (oh and if that’s not enough, he made contributions to Freddy Fresh’s book cataloguing rare rap records)

Enjoy…

Changing up the selection this week I present to you the first part of the Roots Of The Roots series.  With these shows I’ll be inviting people to do a 2 hour show either hosting themselves, co-hosting with me ot just providing the music.  Their selections will reflect their knowledge and thoughts on the UK music scene before the explosion of Hip Hop in the UK.

Tonight I run through my own 7″ vinyl selection (just a couple of exceptions, Bob James/The Meters/Bob Marley’s Concrete Jungle) were off LPs, the rest all my own 7s…

If you are interested in doing one of these shows please let me know, drop me an e-mail to waxer@discoscratch.co.uk and we can discuss it.  Hope you enjoy this show, I especially enjoyed the dub section, great hearing that crackly vinyl!

I have had some reports of problems with downloads so this week the show is hosted on the Sensei server as opposed to the DS server… you shouldn’t experience any problems if you subscribe via RSS, should be no difference but if you prefer you can just hit Sensei up for this show and any of the past shows, peep it here: http://sensei.fm/shows.php?dj=122

LATERZZZ!!!!!

I’ve been spending a lot of time over the past couple of weeks slowly getting all my vinyl in order.  They were all very roughly in order, but I had loads of years muddled up and as I get older I seem to forget what the hell I got in the racks and what year… in fact it’s starting to just get in to th 80s/90s/00s categories! So, I had to sort this out and started with the older part of my collection.  So, I was doing my 1983 12s and it was just such an incredible year I thought it would make a wicked show just to play 12s from that year.

Thing is, 1982 is often cited as the commercial explosion of Hip Hop in the US and 1984 as the explosion in the UK, but some big and important tunes came out this year, with the start of the Street Sounds Electro Series and release of possibly the most important Hip Hop film ever, Wild Style.

Everyone in the chatroom seemed to have a laugh reminiscing, I dropped a couple of news stories from ’83 in the mix and an advert.  Also I thought I’d see if everyone was paying attention and play a track from 84 and give a prize to the person who spots it… well I dropped “Jam On It” by Newcleus and almost as soon as it had started, Scenes14 from Suspekt crew spotted it and put it up in the chat, so prize bundle on its’ way to him.  Well, it was great to do this show and I just enjoyed letting the 1983 vibes wash over me for a couple of hours… hope you enjoy/enjoyed it too!

On this tape I took the time to carefully go through the shout outs and post them up here.  I want to get as many entries on the Database as possible, and I hope there might be people reading this that recognise the shout outs.  This is an interesting tape as it features a really in depth interview with De La Soul and a long NY rap report from P Fine talking to George Kay on GLR.  I have detailed the shout outs below.  It’s mad hearing those lists of writers… that must have been a proud moment for them, being on the radio.  I wonder where they are now?  Look out for more tape rips coming soon, including a Cypress Hill concert from 93 I illegally recorded using my walkman up my batty crease and a jam with Encona Coarse live on stage in Portsmouth… download after the track list…

Here we are again, another piece in the puzzle, another thread in the matrix of maintaining the history of the UK Hip Hop Scene.  Another tape from the vaults, this one with Tim Westwood on the Capital Rap Show & Dave Pearce on GLR.  Funny when I listen back to these how my 17 year old mind edited out stuff that now I wish was left in, even the shit adverts and such, still, most of the music is here!  I seem to remember taping sections of the Saturday dance show just so I had some music that was a bit more palatable by birds so I had stuff to play them in my car!
