Photos: Wu-Tang Clan live at the Enmore Theatre

Posted on August 5, 2011 by Shantan Wantan Ichiban | Leave a comment

It is funny when the hip hop show descends into a not so private party on stage, which u had the misfortune of witnessing. A bunch of girls dancing badly with old men. Hurry up and end it please, so that we can all go home.

All and all though, it was a good show. On a Thursday evening at the Enmore Theatre in Sydney, the Wu-Tang formed together like Voltron, they just happened to be missing an arm and a leg. Though even with Rza, Meth and ODB absent, the Wu is still a force to be reckoned with. Ghostface alone has the force of 100 emcees when he explodes on the microphone. Plus it’s hard to go wrong with classic tracks for days.

Young Dirty Bastard though? I am just not sure. I understand he is carrying on the legacy, but it just seems a little funny making a career impersonating your father.

Diggin’ in the Crates Vol.2

Posted on May 16, 2011 by whoismikewho | 1 comment

So our homies at Main ingredients have brought back the second installment of their Diggin in the crates parties, with New Zealand’s finest P-Money headlining the night and repping Roc a Fella. It’s a cool concept for a night where dj’s are asked to rep a label. It’s always good fun to dig into the vaults of labels that we all no and love to find the playable jems. I thought it would make sense to rep Tommy boy on the night as i remember always buying doubles of Tommy Boy 12’s pre digital era takeover. Also on the night local boss Dj’s Ology (Rawkus), Toni toni lee (Cash Money), And LinoType (Loud), i heard Lino is getting deported so this may be your last chance to see this super talented LA native do his thing in Sydney. So If your looking for something good to do this this Friday night come to Good God Small club and throw shapes!

Here are some jams from the Tommy Boy vaults for you that i will definatly be playing Friday night.

MP3: Above the Law – Endonesia (feat Big Mike)

MP3: De La Soul – Itsoweezee

MP3: K7 – Come Baby Come

MP3: Coolio – Exercise Yo Game

MP3: Digital Underground – No Nose Job

Good Vibrations Line Up 2011 – Nas & Damian Marley, Phoenix, Ludacris, Kelis, Erykah Badu, Cee-Lo, Rusko, Janelle Monae tour Australia

Posted on September 9, 2010 by Shantan Wantan Ichiban | Leave a comment

I know a few of my DJ friends like to hate on Good Vibrations for various reasons, but of the major festivals they have always had a good line up of acts for folks that enjoy their hip hop and soul roots in general.

Over the years, I have some nice memories of seeing a range of artists like Talib Kweli and Jean Grae, Estelle (before American Boy), Lee Scratch Perry & The Mad Professor, DJ Marky, Soul II Soul and Q-Tip. To bigger names like Kayne West, Snoop Dogg and Busta Rhymes who just murdered it last year.

However, this line up is possibly the best ever. I for one am really looking forward to this. Hopefully we can hook up some interviews.

Line Up:
Faithless
Phoenix
Sasha
Nas & Damian Marley
Cee Lo Green
Kelis
Ludacris
Erykah Badu
Friendly Fires
Miike Snow
Fake Blood
Rusko
Sidney Sampson
Janelle Monae
Mike Posner
Yolanda Be Cool
Koolism
Kill The Noise
Tim & Jean
Fenech-Soler

Dates:
SYDNEY: Centenial Park – Saturday, February 12
MELBOURNE: Flemington Racecourse – Sunday, February 13
GOLD COAST: Parklands – Saturday, February 19
PERTH: Claremont Showground – Sunday, February 20

Tickets Available from Moshtix. So maybe purchase them now, rather than waiting until they sell out to call around in desperation trying to score a ticket. Motherfuckers think I got keys to the city. I can’t do nothing for you man.
