"They've really come up trumps with this EP. A return to slamming funky breaks...and I love 'em for that" Craig Charles (BBC 6music)

We’re pleased as punch to welcome The Allergies into the Goodgroove family. To mark the occasion the two-man crew of Solid Steel legend DJ Moneyshot and Chai Wallah stalwart Rackabeat have put together the barn-storming new EP, Calling The Shots.

It leads off with dance floor bomb, Special People – A cut that’s pure b-boy dynamite and sure to rival their chart-topper, Heartbreaker, as another peak-time classic. The rest of the four-tacker takes in Jurassic 5-style hip-hop jams (React), uptempo soul stompers (As We Do Our Thing), and boombastic blues rock (Feel Alright), and features rappers Skunkadelic and Figure of Speech, as well brass from the KPS Horns and licks from guitar legend, John Fairhurst.

"Reggae-hip-hop partner of DJ Maars and longtime hip-hop producer in his own right, Tom Showtime, comes correct at the close of the year with this original boom-bap hip-hop cut. You all know the recipe: a fat break, a sample from a sixties or seventies groove (in this case The Round Robin Monopoly’s sinuous and wah-wah drenched Life Is Funky) and someone to drop dope verbals. That’ll be D’Fro then – and you know you can always rely on a man named after his hairstyle. Life sure is funky, ain’t it?"

Open Mind

The year is irrelevant...

Musical pioneers Aim & Mikey D.O.N. join forces as MAIDM and ATIC Records is proud to present the first fruits of this miraculous merger. Served on tasty 10” grape juice vinyl, MAIDM's opening statement boasts two hard hitting hip-hop home-runs, Tun Up Di Heat (Party Banger) and B-Boy Shit.

Tun Up Di Heat (Party Banger) is an earth-quaking, bass-speaker-shaking introduction to how nice they are. A beatific blend of head down hip hop and funky, floor-filling accessibility, Tun Up… embodies MAIDM and it's precision manifesto.

Flip to the flip side for second track B-Boy Shit, a track that eschews concession to commerce and takes no prisoners through minimalistic murk and hyper-aggressive vocals. Long forgotten legends are name-checked, old scores are settled, the dirty break-beat rolls on and hip-hop gains a fresh new anthem.

MAIDM - Imagine the possibilities...

BIOGRAPHY

You don't mess around when labeling someone as a musical pioneer; it’s a dangerous path to tread. When it comes to the name DJ Nu-Mark however, it’s a safe bet.
As a Los Angeles native, Producer, Turntablist and member of the legendary Hip-Hop group Jurassic 5, DJ Nu-Mark is considered one of the most innovative on the scene. He continually showcases his expanding taste in music through live sets and dj streams where he displays rare covers, multi-track edits and performs his children’s musical toy set.
Nu-Mark ignited his career releasing Kanye West’s debut production with Chicago native, Grav on Correct Records while simultaneously producing the Jurassic 5 EP circa 1996. Nu caught solo acclaim with the drop of his industry celebrated Blend Crafters EP which featured his timeles cover of John Lennon’s “Imagine” and featured production for MF Doom. Nu’s debut LP, Broken Sunlight revealed his innovations into a jaw dropping collection of heartfelt music featuring Aloe Blacc, Quantic, Large Professor, Bumpy Knuckles, A-Skillz, J-Live
Tiron & Ayomari, and Charles Bradley.
It comes as no surprise when you see the list of coveted stages that Nu-Mark has performed on around the world, including Glastonbury and Coachella. As per his stellar reputation of being one of turntablism and sound design, Nu-Mark has also judged numerous DJ competitions including Red Bull Music Thre3style with Jazzy Jeff, DJ Craze, Skratch Bastid and many more.
You can also add in Nu-Mark's own label – Hot Plate Records, which has released a hoard of production collaborations, including his sought after Run For Cover LP in 2021 featuring Bacao Rhythm & Steel Band, Full Crate, Jungle Fire, The Traffic and more. Nu brought along Pharcyde’s Slimkid3 under the
faction TRDMRK on two albums featuring Del the Funky Homosapien, Diamond D, Darondo, Guilty Simpson, and Murs which shot to number one on the CMJ charts.
Nu-Mark's ongoing “Zodiac Tracks” is further testament to the fact that music is a life blood for this man. With his unwavering adoration of vinyl, the renowned collector pays homage
to pivotal artists by mixing them seamlessly in their respective astrological sign in live Birthday tribute videos. The project has been so successful that, after reaching millions of views, Nu- Mark teamed up with Method Man (Wu-Tang Clan) for an exclusive song to honor all the astrological signs in a song called “Zodiac Killah”.
Nu has a keen eye for musical evolution. Known for his trademark ability to conjure up sounds from the most bizarre of items, including a collection of children’s toys, late night talk show host and producer James Corden enlisted Nu-Mark to take on the role of in-house DJ for the hit TV show –
Drop The Mic.
To date, Nu-Mark has been featured in the critically acclaimed documentaries / motion pictures; Scratch, KeepinTime, Where We’re From, Coachella: The Movie, Rock the Bells, Popstar and MacGrubber. Nu-Mark created original beats and co-scored Tom & Jerry (2021), Battle Of The Year starring Chris Brown and Ride Along 1& 2 staring Ice Cube and Kevin Hart.
Whether it’s behind the decks or a mixing desk, on the silver screen or the TV; Nu-Mark continues to raise the bar with his collaborations and a list of upcoming sample packs. This diverse artist is gearing up to remind us why he is a musical pioneer (in case anyone could forget)!
