We have a new segment. It is called 5 Cakes or Cake Trivia, or something like that. On tonight’s show we tested Skyzoo’s knowledge of the New York Knicks in exchange for cup cakes. He also freestyled. Word!
Also friend of the show DJ Ability a.k.a. Lack There Of a.k.a. Billy Ray Sirens a.k.a. Dolla Billz did a mix of rap and reggae.
Need some more Skyzoo in your life? Here is a mix Billy did ahead of Skyzoo’s tour…
Excuse the dodgy mixing, excuse the blaring mic levels, this is what happens when we trade places. The Empress Ichiban gets into the mix live on FBi, playing a mix of new old tropical favourites to give you a rough taste of what you can expect from Dutty Dancing this Saturday at Goodgod Small Club. More details hurrrr

Flanked by an entourage of 6, the Pittsburg MC hit us with a hard hitting interview then rounded it off with an awkward-starting-obsenity-filled freestyle. Don’t believe me? Peep the link below.

SHORTEE BLITZ 1995 HIP HOP MIX (Playlist Coming… Maybe)
Love is in the air and with the help of some friends, love was also on the airwaves.
Valentine’s Day isn’t always about expensive dinners, flowers and Al Green. There’s a wealth of hip hop tracks that happen to get some of us in the mood; and some of those tracks are rachet as hell.
Shout out to Australian C-Grade Celebs Kween G, Levins, Jane Tyrell, Joyride, Scott Dooley, Anna Lunoe, Jimblah, Sky’High and Solo (of Horrorshow) who helped us pop a booty shake, sing into a hairbrush and create such a wonderful playlist. And judging from the SMS line and Twitter account our listeners liked the track selection as well.
On top of that we get seriously sexy with Ultramagnetic MC and pioneer of Pornocore, Kool Keith a.k.a. Dr Octogon a.k.a. Dr Dooom a.k.a. Dr Sperm a.k.a. Black Elvis a.k.a. Black Linen a.k.a. Underwear Pissy. It gets a little creepy as Keith picks three of his favourite love songs.

Warming up before any night out is key. Especially if you’re warming up for two of the hottest summer events showcasing a mix dancehall, latin heat and tropical bass – complete with plenty of ass-shaking, grinding, dizzy footwork and dutty wining. Gappy Ranks and Radio Maleme rolled through today and lawd, did they ever show us how to get a dancefloor moving.
Gracing the Australian shores from London, Gappy came at us 110% with a solid interview and a bashment live performance. Melbourne’s RU-CL came in strong with support and hey, during their performance my hips in the studio weren’t the only ones gyrating.
Radio Maleme representing part of the Pineapple Republic, finished the show with a spicy, caliente, tropcial latin heat. Rapid BPM’s, soulful singing and the perfect mix had people calling far and wide wondering who the heck is blowing up the airwaves and where did we get him from. His name is Sr Bolivar and he is from Colombia, folks. That’s right COLOMBIA. Knowing his stuff, Sr Bolivar provided the perfect preview for next week’s Pineapple Republic – a night you will not want to miss.
Want to know more? Of course you do.

Getting you hyped for this Saturday’s Dutty Dance: Straya Edition, Shantan and DJ Mike Who? kicked off what could only be described as a 2-hour wall-grind, basement party (think Sean Paul Get Busy video). Beenie Man was there, so was Movado, Sean Paul rolled through and so did my girls Tanya Stephens and Lady Saw. Azealia Banks gave vocals to a sick remix and same with Busta Rhymes. DJ Mike Who? added some latin flavour to the mix with a blend of cumbia and salsa music for all you fancy-footing showoffs.
Feel left out cuz you missed the live mix? Well you should because it was of the chain. But, don’t despair, we got a podcast thingy and a playlist up somewhere…
