We have played Bar Rhumba & Wired @ Shoreditch House so far. Playing an acoustic gig in a garden in the next couple of weeks so will keep you posted about that.
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
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.
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
