We have a backlog of these portraits taken in our make shift studio set up in the FBi parking lot. After an awesome interview and freestyle session, Outerspace and Jedi Mind Tricks (minus Vinnie Paz) posed for these pictures. Just one shot each, and it was perfect.

A big night of hot, sweaty dancing. If you weren’t there, feat not, because the Player Haters Ball is happening again this Friday. This time Alphamama joins the night for an evening of your favourite R&B covers and some damn good DJs…. Details.
This is our Christmas special from last year with shitty hip hop, reggae, dancehall, dubstep, soul and other random christmas jams. Have been wondering if I should do another one of these this year. Thoughts?

I have memories of listening to Paparazzi on rotation on my walkman sharing a headphone with a mate, while we drank in the park. As a long time fan of Xzibit, it totally took me by suprise when he started working with Dre and Eminem and began to blow up on a more commercial level. Now better know for modifying cars than hip hop, Xzibit recently toured Australia hitting every two horse town on the map. Here are some photos from Sydney.

I will be honest. We are going to have to get our own soundsystem next time we do this. Great turn out, capacity event, hot people, lots of hip shaking and drunken unruliness, but some problems with sound. With a few more people in the room it was hard to get it loud it enough with out the speakers cutting out.
Even so, it was still an amazing night of Rock N Roll and Soul from the 50s and 60s, and we are going to work hard to make sure the next one is even more swinging.
Call us conventional, but this week we actually played hip hop on our hip hop show. Jus Allah of Jedi Mind Tricks and Outerspace swung by the studio for an interview and some live raps. Also MK1 a.k.a. Mr Killa joined us on mixing duties.

Stolen Records fam and foreign correspondent Mike Who checking in to share some love from Iquique, Chile. If you didn’t make it to our party and my farewell sauna workout “Badonkadonk” at goodgod, you may not know that i am now living in Chile. Life is good, the people are awsome, weather is nice, and the food is great. It’s a Little odd not having to go to work or wake up for uni but i’m finding unemployment pretty satisfying. I’m going to try and post some tunes on the regular that i come across during travels. But to kick things off i thought i would share some of my favourite tunes from some chileno artits that i have been introduced to and stumbled across over there years.
Me and Carla saw an awesome 12 piece cumbia band of old dudes in matching suits playing Chico Trujillo covers on the beach the other night, and being the fool i am i didn’t have a phone or camera to record the awesomeness.. this film clip will have to do me justice.
Cali got gun play! Salsa on a Monday! Mamis sayin Ichi give me one more dance!
When too much animal print is barely enough!
Parar! Revivir! Sobrevivir!
direct me where ever you want, mami
Towards the end of my trip in Latin America I started to pick up a bit of Spanish, but all round I was pretty pathetic. Even so, I found when you didn’t know the Spanish word for something, you could just add an ‘O’ or an ‘A’ or a ‘ones’ to the end of the English word and you may end up with the right word in Spanish.
¿Cuál es el nombre de este…ah.. musica… umm… artista?
These are some photos from Cali in Colombia. I found it funny that traffic police in Cali are called “Reguladors”. I am easily amused.
