Hostel World

Over the last week i somehow managed talk a hostel owner in chile to give me a job. I don’t really do that much, answer a few phone calls, respond to some emails and talk shit to other tourists about my wealth of knowledge on shoestring travel in South America. Long story short i sit on the internet generally being unproductive. So in the spirit of productivity i’m sharing some tunes that i have been playing too much today.

Download: Sammy Bananas- La Musica

L.O.T.U.G funky child sample goes rave, i would probably loose my shit too this if i was drunk and wanted to hear hip hop.

Download: Flosstradamus- Rollup

My 420 anthem from the other day, phone conversations in spanish were a struggle this day.

Download: Los Rakas- feat e-40- Pimpin Smokin Dro

Yay Area!!

Download: Outkast-Spottieottiedopalicious (Nacey Remix)

Sacred ground to rework but this is actually really awesome

I’m So Hood

Gorilla Zoo Riddim lock alert. I made a cheeky edit of Gorilla Zoo’s tune, Hood Nigga a few days back, here it is in all it’s glory plus  the original and a few other remixes and blends that are way better than mine. Woo

Sharing is Caring

There is no real reason for this post other than sharing a few tunes that have been on heavy rotation in my household of late. Nothing uber new, just a few tunes that i slept on and have rediscovered recently. Enjoy.

Spotlight: Twich Colourd Noyz

 

I have known Jeremi Jackson aka Twich for longer than most people in my lifetime. Over the years we have hung out and bumped into each other through mutal friends  and one thing has always remained constant, Twich constantly pushing his production, bubbling away in the depths of his studio like a mad professor, his sound getting more and more polished with each new track i hear. I rarely give advice but get to know about this dude, he has already worked with some of the finest from the states and Australian audiences have been sleeping    for too long.  Download a few jems off Twich’s Synethesia Mixtape and check the two clips below for some homegrown heat produced by the man himself.

Mike Who’s Bolivian Death Bed

I was lucky enough to take a trip to Bolivia over the last 2 weeks, and have now only just started to shake the remnants of a pretty ferkin horrible journey home. Bolivia is an amazingly beautiful country and everyone i met bar too many tourists with hiking boots and bad dreadlocks were awsome people.  I managed to check a few cities and have included a bunch of photos taken mostly by my lady who lucky for you takes way better photos than me. To top off this post of greatness i included some tunes that got me through fever induced bus rides, hotel room hallucinations, market lurks, hospital visits, twilight zone salt flats, border crossings and llama meat platters. If you buy me a drank once I’m home I will tell you some extended tales. Enjoy, Mike Who.

St Patrick’s Day Rap, West Coast Hip Hop and Joyride Performs Kelis Cover

Vodpod videos no longer available.


Have you ever wondered what River Dance meets Dancehall Reggae sounds like? How about Gaelic Hip Hop? It’s St Paddy’s Day and I thought we would celebrate our Irish heritage with music.

We also get our gangsta boogie on with a massive set of West Coast hip hop. Plus Joyride comes in to perform a Kelis with the Neptunes Cover, ahead of the Player Haters Ball.

Player Haters Ball | Neptunes Tribute | Sat Mar 24

Player Haters Ball
There is no way this one will not be massive. After a huge R Kelly Tribute and an equally big xmas ball, this time we are paying homage to the works The Neptunes.

The Accidents, led by the Samoan John Legend, Don Joyride, will perform two sets. The first a mix of covers and originals. The second set will be pure Pharrell and Chad bangers from N*E*R*D* to Usher to Justin Timberlake to Britney and so much more.

Any Neptunes jams missed by The Accidents will definitely be played by Levins, Shantan Wantan Ichiban and Joyride when they each serve up some Hip Hop, R&B and Soul goodies on the turntables.

Each of these parties has been a sweaty night of loose dancing and folks getting it on with each other. I don’t expect this one to be any different.

Here are a few tunes that will definitely get a play.

Listen: Usher – You Don’t Have To Call

Listen: Busta Rhymes – What It Is ft Kelis

Listen: Britney Spears – Boys

Mike 2600 King Dre Day Mix

Overzealous headphone marketing and hype aside i will and always have been a fan of the Dr. When i heard this tidy mix by burlesque design guru and Dj/producer  Mike the 2600 memories of water pistol drive byes instantly flooded back. If your a fan of Dre or dig Originals Vs Sampled tapes this is for you.

Check it here.

P.S….Haboglabotripin is my Jam.

Photos: Mayer Hawthorne at the Metro in Sydney


Photos by Caroline Garcia

Originally known as DJ Haircut, Mayer Hawthorne was a little side project that he was working on in his spare time. He never took himself as a serious singer, until one day he showed it to Peanut Butter Wolf and the rest is history.

As amazing as his show was the first time I saw him. I did think Mayer Hawthorne was the sort of artist, whose strength was more in the studio than as a super awesome live singer. How things have changed.

Mayer Hawthorne’s voice has really developed, as has his live show. So good.
