I met Barnum at the Lunch Garden in Dolhain on Titan at half past noon on the 15th of January. He was a fairground worker who lived in a caravan on the outskirts of town. I wished to convince to join my menagerie of freaks. Barnum had a blind gut with no intestine or anus, expelling food waste through his mouth. But most of all he could cast off and regenerate all twelve of his fingers and toes. He arrived late, sat down with a belch and ordered the eggplant in tamarind gravy and a bucket. His wretched face betrayed the disgrace of some apocryphal place that did not wish to disturb its masters for too long, piling them up against the wall and enslaving their livers against the better judgement of more bacterial sentiments. His sallow orifice rotated counter-clockwise as he chewed loudly on his food, rivers of broth running down the sides of his mouth, and dripping from his chin. His meal finished, he picked at his five sickly teeth with the help of his fingers and the fleshy appendix that he used as a tongue, and stared at me with youthful candour. "I am a showman by profession" he said, and added that his only personal aim was "to put money in his pocket". 

I inquired as to when and how he had discovered his extraordinary capacity to regenerate. He explained that he had forgotten the safe word when indulging in mild odaxelagnia with his then partner, and lost his pinky in the process. The following day a stub had appeared, which progressively grew to reform the lost appendage (albeit of a whiter hue). He added that when his finger was sectioned he had enjoyed his most intense climax yet. He then excused himself, picked up the bucket and vomited his feces into it in three long bursts. "So, we have a deal?" I asked him, as he wiped his mouth on his sleeve. "Got to have something for everyone no?" he replied. On opening night Barnum, distraught with stage fright, had drunk himself into a stupor. Instead of merely cutting a finger or two, he hacked off his arm just past the elbow. Grimacing with ecstasy, he passed out when it came off, leaving his forearm twitching in the sand. Barnum never came to, spent a week in a coma and eventually passed away. His arm however survived and began to grow a body of its own. Within a month it had developed into a completely new individual. We named it "Chuck", and kept it on roster. It was a full house on the night of his debut.

Here we are with the newly crowned World champ of the Skratch Nerds battle 2020, Barret. This was a really interesting talk for me, especially to see how quickly someone with the right focus can go from a beginner scratcher to a world title in such a short time. Be sure to follow Barret on social media and Skratch Nerds!

Beats and Cuts Podcast - Episode 25 - Jon1st & Shield

Dog Day is the debut EP by German turntablist and award-winning producer B-Ju. After two singles for Equinox Records and Error Broadcast, the kid refines his style with these five originals. Between funky Boom-Bap, soulful sampling and groggy Rap grooves, B-Ju's Dog Day EP sounds equally classic and contemporary.

Watch out for the strictly limited 7" vinyl single featuring treats by 1000names (Black Acre) and Herrmutt Lobby (Eat Concrete). Digitally, Ghostly recording artist Mux Mool and our very own Benny B. Blonco put B-Ju through the hooks

Briefly putting aside their Hip Hop (in the widest sense) fetish to once again explore more Jazz inspired paths, the Herrmutt Lobby have concocted an album that can be pigeonholed by the trainspotters amongst you between their “Mind Safari” EP released in 2012 on Caoutchou and one forthcoming on Eat Concrete later this year. Entitled “Midi + Demi”, it is an endeavour in search of new textures and tones, relying on a framework of acoustic drums provided by David Arens (aka Renax) and Lobbied improvisations using tools specifically designed for the occasion. “Midi + Demi” is dedicated to the memory of Barnum.

I make my way to the closest bar. The door is an ovoid bulge crowned by a triangular shape. A cleft divides it into two adjacent swellings. I walk in and the place falls silent. I feel myself scanned. The bar is occupied by pluxing Euroscribes. They seem to appreciate its Confucian climate. It is a purchased atmosphere. I advance, and the conversations resume.

Dj Chell rose to infamy with his latest DMC 2020 Final routine. Everyone was wondering was he just trolling or did it mean something more? We immediately hit him up and he agreed to have a call and discuss. We speak about the Russian Turntablism scene, battling, and more. Agree or disagree with his routine, it's safe to say he got us talking about DJ battles and how they work in the modern age.
