During the 90's under the name the UNDERDOG I remixed and produced a vast variety of artists, both underground and mainstream rooted in my love of Hip Hop, Dub, Jazz Rock, Electronics & Psychedelia. Working with Massive Attack, Unkle, Gravediggaz, New Kingdom, U2, The Pharcyde, Run DMC, and many other iconic artists of that era, I made a name for myself creating melodically dark & abstract beat heavy music, a precursor to Trip Hop, an original take on a sound that had predominantly been solely US driven.  

Starting with my own UK Rap label 'Bite it' I producing releases for legendary London rap crew The Brotherhood as well as released iconic records by mavericks like Lewis Parker and The Scientists of Sound. During the mid 90's The Brotherhood signed to Virgin Records and their debut album ELEMENTALZ was highly acclaimed and took on legendary status as one of the finest UK rap albums of all time. 

Most of these records are unavailable to listen to on any streaming services or CD (the majority being vinyl only) So I decided to showcase a selection of my finished Underdog productions on my monthly NTS show.

UNDERDOG - REMIXES + PRODUCTIONS 1993-1999

First episode of GGHQ Selections, an audio triptych of different angle, by @briannotbrian, resident of RRWaves first edition.

"This first RR Waves show is a selection of tracks that we find inspiring here at GGHQ. Had I recorded the mix another day, it could have easily been a completely different set altogether. I'm a huge fan of all kinds of different music, and I love to play like this when I DJ. There is nothing more boring for me than someone playing 1 style all night long and not exploring different moods or sounds. Also, when making a radio show like this, you can play with different tempos, speeds and music from completely different eras, there is a freedom that is sometimes not granted within a club setting. It is too easy to play only 60 minutes of house or techno, and the end result is quite boring for me. I hope the listeners hear something new or exciting in this selection, and the forthcoming additional sets I have recorded. Below you will find the tracklisting if you wish to investigate further. Enjoy! - Brian Not Brian, London, March 2023"

Soul Boulders - Mixed By Matthew Africa & DJ B.Cause (2006)

DJ Demo & Kay Slay - Warning Pt 2 `95

"I usually use home recorded mixes to explore the deeper and more esoteric corners of my record and music collection, but with this one for the Mantissa crew I decided to do something more 'club' or dance-floor orientated. It was a good idea, because it was actually really fun to make and I had a good time recording it. Percussive, dubby, bassy and with a healthy dose of DRUMS (as is usual with me), this mix will hopefully make you want to move!"

Hmm this one probably came from a blog, can't remember which one and most of those seem dead these days, so this slice of Hip Hop History is reposted without kind permission from the o.g. ripper. But anyway, it's safe to assume A.I. won't mind, and this is a classic radio show with wall to wall JAMZ!
