“I shouldn’t have schmoked before sitting down to pen this nonsense, now I can’t write about myself without vomiting up some grandiloquent hyperbole, all you need to know is that I’m an ex angry booze hound, turned cynical stoner who somewhere down the line, started writing and in pursuit of work, moved to the Big Smoke. Then thanks to a bunch of unfortunate plot twists, became homeless, continued writing, became more misanthropic, continued drinking, embraced Nihilism, took to Absurdism and continued drinking until he mastered the art of talking shit. Hustled his way back into a fixed abode, found stability with handy short term financial donations from a multimillionaire-pop star he never met, kept writing, replaced the booze with weed, kept writing and gained some insight and a handful of stories to tell. People will project what they want on to an artist, it doesn’t matter who I am, I’ll keep being me to me & Stig Of The Dump will keep being me to them. It’s probably best to not over think it but that’s apparently “my problem”. On the other hand i’m good at saying dumb shit & occasionally something meaningful falls through the gaps”

“The struggle is the art”

A decorated World & Domestic battle champion, Steven “Stig” Dixon a.k.a Stig Of The Dump is a writer who’s individualist insight, misanthropic rants, cynical musings & heavy humour have found themselves at home on the dusty, crackling, vinyl sampled break loops of Hip Hop. A wordsmith with little regard for conformity, his back catalogue reflects the story of a marginalised artist, trying to balance the fight against his demons with the desire to escape them and the gradual maturing of an outspoken & unflinching lyricist, revelling in his niche. Fro the beginning of his first release The Homeless Micrphonist EP [Beer & Rap], written & recorded in just seven consecutive days, during a 2 month long stint of sleeping in the Foreign Beggar’s studio vocal booth; Stig established himself as a brutally honest & uncompromising voice in the UK Hip Hop scene. An unrefined, unfiltered classic, reflecting the anger & ever shifting temperament of a bitter, homeless drunk it received instant fan support and much critical acclaim, selling out the initial run and repress and achieving cult status amongst domestic Rap collectors and along with his next release, 12″ single Braindead ft R.A.The Rugged Man, has long since sold out and currently sells for collector’s prices. Having found base, an outlet for further release and a roof over his head, Stig’s subsequent full length LP debut, Mood Swings [Lewis Recordings] further solidified his reputation as a hard hitting lyricist and in the same vein as his previous offerings, continued to express the conflict, struggle and depravity of poverty, excess & urban life. Over the next two EP’s Cannon Fodder [Lewis Recordings/F.U.Music] & Piff Rhys Jones [Lewis Recordings/F.U.Music] Stig Of The Dump found stability through touring the world, covering rent & gaining insight & with stability came, maturity & his need for rebellion became focussed & more considered, culminating in his latest full length release Kubrick.

London/Brighton/Cambridge collective Contact Play have been educating audiences all over Europe for the past two years, from sun drenched Croatian festivals to busking on the streets of Amsterdam. Now, caving to rabid public demand they have committed the best of their repertoire to Champion Fraff, a deep ’n’ seedy homage to late nights, romance and exotic pastries. 

They are often safe. They rinse out tunes a bit but mainly juice continental fruits using juicers. They are a menace. They have a soggy album dripping in rinse, which you may buy! 

The 18-track odyssey stars the vocal talents of Jam Baxter, Dirty Dike, Mr. Key, Ronnie Bosh and Ed Scissor tongue, in conjunction with the warmly seductive production skills of Twomanysteps, Mr. Constant and Kerem Fraiche. Named after the most terrifying phase of Micro Machines, CP formed in London and slithered to Brighton, assimilating a slew of new talent along the way. Ruthlessly terrorising the nightlife up and down the country, they have forged an enduring reputation and devoted fanbase. To date they have played alongside any British rapper capable of constructing a worthwhile sentence, as well as established US stars like Necro and De La Soul. 

Champion Fraff takes you on a journey through moods and atmospheres. From the innocent exuberance of the self titled Contact Play, to the tanked-up sleaze of Juicing and the woe of Falling Innit, CP display an emotional range equivalent to fifty Fifty Cents. Tongues are firmly wedged in cheeks throughout, allowing abstract fantasy, “you can use my tunes to shave your stupid face” to coexist with sharply observed bleakness, “we’re all great friends til the dawn breaks”. For rinsing tunes without the grating ego, Champion Fraff is the best British rap album in years.
