They didn’t want to let the EP go without making a video for The Highball, so here’s TEN emcees from Eat Good and AM letting fly over samples of Beatbox Fozzy, pieced together by one of the UK’s production heavyweights, Metabeats. It includes a body double, a magic trick and three producers who are nice in the booth as well as on the boards. This is that diversity we’re trying to rep and grow. Thanks to EatGood Records for a successful joint project and huge love to everyone out there sharing and supporting what we do. Kings and Queens.

Official video for the track Zone One taken from Sonnyjim’s Psychonaut LP out now on EATGOOD / Obese Records. This is the b-side to the forthcoming second single from Sonnyim’s Psychonaut project, this time its Zone One getting that visual treatment. This one was shot out in Bristol when Sonnyjim was performing for Rhyme and Reason last month. This sees Sonnyjim is doing what he does best, great bars and inventive flows alongside long time collaborator Eyebs on the beat Sonny gets introspective over the hypnotic backdrop analyzing his character traits and goals; it almost reads like a personal mantra and in the process it comes off slick as ever!

Taken from ‘The Stomach Of The Mountain’ by producer Chemo – Release Date: 26th September 2011

Preorder now! http://itunes.apple.com/gb/preorder/the-stomach-of-the-mountain/id452291378

In a similar vein to the acclaimed ‘Squirrelz with Gunz‘ compilation released in 2007, ‘The Stomach of the Mountain’ is a compilation of Chemo‘s finest production and remix work from 2007-2011. Featuring vocal talent from the likes of Jehst, Roots Manuva, Triple Darkness and even ‘New York Rap Legend’ Tragedy Khadafi. The latter part of the album perhaps represents a slight shift away from the purist Hip Hop that Chemo is reputed for, however the intensity never dips, even in some of its more eclectic moments.

SOUL, FUNK, 60’s R&B, TITTYSHAKERS, DISCO, AFRO AND LATIN. You know it makes sense!

Breakin Bread’s residency at the Blues Kitchen goes from strength to strength. They’ve almost been there for a year now and each night gets busier, more b-boys turn up, more soul and funk fanatics hit the dancefloor and the vibe just grows and grows!

Skeg is feeding the growing frenzy by booking the best soul and funk bands, the best breakdancers and playing the best tunes. Nobody does it like Breakin Bread can, they’ve been doing it for longer than anyone else in London and have better contacts on the scene than anybody else.
 
This month sees The Grits return for a deep funk set chock full of beats, breaks and their signature dirty sound. Chris Read also steps in on the DJing duties to celebrate the release of 2 tropical 7″s that Chris has signed to Breakin Bread. Expect Chris’s incredible style of DJing with dope cuts and mixing and a superb selection. One of London’s top B-boy crews Foundationz make their debut at The Blues Kitchen and will be hyping the crowd when they clear the dinner tables to get the dance circle going. As ever DJ Skeg will be bringing to bear his 13 years’ experience of DJing to a Breakin Bread crowd. All in all, it’s going to be a live one!Blues Kitchen, 111 – 113 Camden High Street, London NW1
