The Weekend!

So, the weekend (and pay day for a lot of people) has finally come round. And unfortunately due to a mad list of things to do before 6pm we haven't got a big post for you today. Hold tight for a bag of new mixes coming in next week including a DJ Sneaks from Too Many Ts (taking us on a wee UK hip hop tip).

For those of you heading to Trouble Vision tonight and/or tomorrow night we'll see you there. It's looking to be a massive one to kick off 2012 and i am more than excited.

We're going to leave you with something fresh and smooth to ease you in to a weekend of sweaty warehouses and noisy beats.

I had the pleasure of meeting this dude last night and he's also joining us for his first UK rave adventure tonight. Jake Kost is over visiting the UK from his home lands of Portland Oregon, US of A.

Turns out he writes a few words here and there and has also put those word down over some very smooth beats and produced a couple of pretty cool videos to go with them. It's definitely rare to hear new US hip hop of this quality over in the UK these days as the flow of major label mush and over produced rubbish is all up in our faces. The influences of acts like People Under The Stairs and The Pharcyde sadly no longer grace the ipods of todays average British youths.


Anyway, ease it all in with a listen of the below and we'll catch you on the other side.
If you like the videos check out his Soundcloud here and show some love.

Safe weekends.
