How underground do i get???

I am underground in a Badger Burrow making Badger music.

"All roads lean to burrows,
All borrowers need to know,
That what you took from funk today,
You gotta pay double back tomorrow."

So this is the other side project that i am doing with an mad fusion of disco punk madness called The Artful Badger.. Get to know about this.its all about the live shows, we have hay fights,badger,big synths, dancing half naked owl girls, wild feral beasts and so much more.

Yes I did say dancing half naked owl girls

the Badger Badger collective!!

– a 7 piece percussion heavy live band that weave their black magic though intense improvisations that redefine the live experience - journeying Disco , Dubstep, Jungle and Rap Samba.


Get bitten by the Badger!"

Check out the video below to get a feel for the absolute mayhem we cause on stage. obviously in a very productive, lets rock out manner, comepletely manic and with gear shifts like a grand prix

Check out the myspace and hopefully see you at a gig sometime soon! Will post a slideshow of the badger gig pictures soon,

Secret Brookney Stomp Lift Off - RoomfullofMOnsterz Live

So from the humble basement beginnings from the Summer @ Bar Rhumba, we moved onto an atmospheric in-store event @ Wyld Pytch in Soho. With RoomfullofMOnsterz playing an intimate set of songs from their upcoming EP and a nice little flow of drink going on the vibe was set.
Cheers to 2110 Creatives and Yume for the work done

Thanks to Benjamin Amure for the pictures. I am loving this picture. Its reminds me of some early 90s kind of hip hop group. In a fly way not in a this shit looks dated way.

Here is the video of the performance.

Brookney Stomp Pics Up At Last

So unfortunately the boys from Brooklyn missed their flight and didnt do Brookney Stomp.
But we had performances from RoomFullOfMonsterz, Scarlett & Viva and the Clown Prince hosting, with hip hop dropped by DJ Gizmo & DJ InI.
Here are some pics of the fun and games

MJ brings all the stars out

I have avoided posting much about The King of PoPs untimely demise since we had so much media coverage already.
I was riveted to CNN & SkyNews that Thursday night, and it just took me ages for it to actually sink in that a defining musician of our times was never to be heard again.
I guess it was kinda like when I realised that I have heard every Biggie Smalls verse that will ever be recited. Its so final - its a wrap - no more new material ever again.
Yes I know people can dig into the vaults and pull out old sessions, but its different when the lyrics are topical and you can tell the writer has been going through the same world motions as yourself when they put pen to pan.

So here is one of my favourite MJ videos. It shows the strength of his pulling power in his prime. This video probably has 30billion dollars worth of star power if it was shot today. The collection of celebrities is rivalled by no other video and it is done in such a way that the only cameo in the video is actually Michael Jackson.

Be Around Vs Beat Attax (ben westbeech remix) by theclownprince

Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival 2009

Here are some pictures from backstage @ The 5th Annual Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. Many thanks to Yume and all the people who made our time and shows there all the more banging.
Here is backstage at the mainstage area. I got some video to upload too, but i am trying to get my edit on - so dont want to just fing it up there.
STyles P is really short, Sheek is a tank, Dead Prez are cool as f*ck and Premo always cuts it up clean.

The rain kinda made it a little more like London for us....

Im loving the black n white bridge pic. I may get a digi slr and dable a bit more

We played a sidewalk show as part of Make Music NY outside the Mocada Museum in Brooklyn.
Many thanks to Yume, the team at Mocada and all the good people who stopped to watch in cars, prams and on foot.

Kaos Black hooked up the footage!!

Rocking In Harlem Hard!!!

We played an instore launch for Atmos & Yume on Thursday night. Took Afrapunk east end stylee 2 blocks down from the Apollo and rocked this heavy trainer store. Its kinda like ?size and the Secret Wars cats were in attendance too.

It was sweaty as hell!!


Many thanks to carl chilsom check out his work here ,

he took lots of dope pcitures of us! I had to find a way to cover my weird neck allergy! It aint right, but its getting better.



It was a night out on Bleecker for us after the show! Munchies at Katz, too many drinks and was wicked seeing the boy deji abrahams. We stumbled into Le Possion and watched the Grand Puba & U-God concert.

Damn U-God is old and his hype man was kinda off-key, but it was still good seeing wu on stage again.

So here is a Wu God video cut for old times sake



video of the instore will be up soon enough, we just trailing that now. We gotta take our own camera man next time we out. Email c.vs in :)

Mos Def New Album on T Shirts

Found this online whilst having a little trawl thru gyba-space

This is a really cool concept from the absolutely fab MoS DeF

Public AssemblY - Secret Wars - NYC vs LDN

We were down at Public Assembly on n6th in the 'burg playing our first set. It was the Secret Wars US night so there was a London family in the house.

The concept was: 90min graff battle - 2 big sheets - london vs nyc! The winner would be decided by decibel counter n bands from both towns would provide the soundtrack to the battle....

Beat box monster Reeps was hosting alongside Mike from Yume & it was set to be a big one.

They were a little on the long side with the promoters and scheduling, another band ran off with half the house kit - big gapping hole where a cymbal stand should have been, how do you miss that??? - and yada, but we managed to rock it still and repped the bammy madness of Put Em Up to the fullest. The live version of favourite girl transcends a next height of sickness with the new arrangement and that went down a treat...

Many thanks to the gorgeous Abi who came down, my boy Koye, TShirt, Dred, Ronin, Cisco and all la famile who came down to rock, and of course The Asotr Kings

Im gotta get the pics from shirt of when we were playing!!

Rehearsalz

on way to the rehearsal

sweaty at the rehearsal

yume in the building (C.Brown)

the naked drummer

on the corner

we went past where we shot the "Favourite Girl" video on the way to the rehearsal room

its good to have d.ablo along for this trip. man is a monster on the guitar and the set is sounding sick. you would think we all dropped out the same womb with sm58 mics attached,

charlie browne from yume passed through the rehearsal as well, he is digging the vibes. Its looking like its gonna be a heavy week of gigs and shenanigans.

bumped into a NYC gritty band called "my other friend", they were in practicing just before heading upstate to the mountains to record their album.

andrew is a monster on his new maple pearl kit (***vintage***), we have all come a long way from the last set of gigs we played and its sounding tight.

here are a couple of photos from the session.

New York New York

Landed at JFK today with d.ablo - met The Gallows at the airport, that was pretty cool!
They had some heavy tattoos and are in new york hanging out before they fly to LA for the warp tour!

My camera yet again seems to have died somehow!! dammit.
i am furiously charging the battery and trying to use mind over matter to make it work.
Need more Jedi skills.

The hotel where we are staying is a cool spot just off Bushwick and Flushing, has a good vibe about it , couple of cute girls running about and a relaxed attitude. Our kinda spot.

Just about to go out for the first rehearsals with the twins. Its the old gang back together again.

Bumped into Parris (Goreela) when I stopped in at Spex studios...

All of this would be way more vivid if my bloody camera hadnt bitched out on me.

Gangster Sheek louch in Hackney
