Gang Starr Block Party Mix | BBC 6 Music

A fuzzy freestyle 2.5 hour mix of 90 tracks, with a HEAVY alternative & classic rock presence, nestled alongside soul & funk, and an assortment of hip hop, blues, psych, post-punk, dub, reggae & ska.

This is another in a sporadic series of eclectic mixtapes comprised of records I plucked from a crate for a recent gig; this time warming up for one of my fave groups & old compadres, The Heavy, at their sold-out headline gig at Koko in London (Sep 15th 2023). This selection includes several tracks from them, and a variety of genres touching on sonics incorporated in the band’s sound.

Ranging from legends like Hendrix, the Stones, the Beatles, Led Zep, The Stooges, Fleetwood Mac, Marvin Gaye & James Brown, to current artists like SAULT, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Say She She, Anderson Paak & Tame Impala, along with King Tubby, Cymande, The Specials, White Stripes, Run the Jewels, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, J Dilla and loads more.

Music for Rock Steady Souls.

Peace, love & heaviness.
Shout to Swaby.

A Tribe Called Wu Block Party | BBC 6 Music

Live at the Social Volume 2
"Seconds out, round two. Here come the hotstepper...
You know how the Social story goes. The Chemical Brothers took things to the 'next level', spending thirteen weeks blowing minds & rocking floors in a dank pub basement, mashing up breakbeats, old skool hip hop, acid house & wigged out rock 'n' roll to a crowd of 25 hour party people. The Albany days passed on into Heavenly history, as much a part of the equation as "Nothing Can Stop Us" or "Weekender" & moves were made onwards & upwards. Enter Jon Carter.
Jon Carter entered Social lore at The Albany, not behind the decks, but on the floor (in every sense). Jon was introduced to the club by regular face Mark Jones (the top boy in charge of the excellent Wall Of Sound label, becoming a full time bar fly at The Albany, moving from fresh faced to totally fucked every week. At the time, Jon was a studio engineer, working exclusively on jungle & dance hall tracks. Like so many of us, he got sucked into the whole Social thing - the weekend ends at 6 o'clock on Monday morning, two little birdies down & the biggest headache on the way. The week of the last Albany session, it was all back to someone's had been booted out. Since then, he's been one of the family. He'd made an odd little record for Wall Of Sound ("The Dollar", as Artery) which had the sound of a Social anthem in the making & he'd done a few DJing sessions back at people's houses after the club, blowing up ragga & bogle gear alongside Public Enemy, ZZ Top & The Jam. What was to come next was anyone's guess, which is probably why Heavenly got him on the pay roll.
At this point, Monkey Mafia was born. First came the rock 'n' roll freakbeat fest of "Blow The Whole Joint Up". Secondly, borrowing heavily from dance hall queen Patra, "Work Mi Body" arrived, seeing Jon settle into a groove previously untapped by man or woman. The 'Mafia wildstyle is radically different from the Chemicals (and, in turn, totally different to Mr. Fearless', but that's another compilation all together). The sound is best likened to that of a car full of Ganja'd up yardies driving into a brick wall at 5 o'clock on a Sunday morning while listening to Funkmaster Flex, The Who, The Bassbin Twins & Gregory Isaacs. It's a big summer sound that gets the sun shining, if only in your mind. It's Monday at Notting Hill Carnival, It's party music & it's a party that everyone's welcome to, the "all back to mine, let's wake up the neighbours" kind. It's a sound we've grown to love, like some mad kid you've adopted as one of your own. Much like Jon himself...

Those who have mattered... Tom & Ed Chemical; Jon Carter, Richard Fearless; Mark Jones; Brian, Beccy & all at The Albany; Ali; Frank Perkins; John & Danny Newman; Spence, Izzy & Will @ Lazy Eye; Johnny Chandler; Rory; Martje; Vanessa; Margo; Paolo; James Bailie"
