Disorda set up Suspect Packages in 1996 to help gain valuable exposure for the UK’s Hip Hop scene. Still going strong in 2013 it incorporates a retail website, radio shows, club nights & more... The 'Suspect Packages Radio Show' has been broadcasting for 13 years. Originally from London's infamous Itch FM for 8 years, and now hosted at suspect-packages.com, rotating all the freshest Hip Hop the UK is producing. There's also the 'Dub Chronicles' show, a Roots, Reggae, Rocksteady, Ska, Dancehall, and Steppas kinda selekshun. On Kane FM 103.7 (kanefm.com)... The Suspect Packages online store retails UK Hip Hop vinyl, cd's, downloads, clothing labels, magazines, dvd's and more. Updated daily with news, reviews and merchandise, which is all available via secure online ordering and ships to customers worldwide.
Yes yes, back on the grind for our monthly showdown upstairs @ Brick Lane's Vibe Bar in East London. Friday October 9th has Micall Parknsun, Joker Starr & Children Of The Damned all performing live, whilst myself Disorda, and DJ LoK control the decks. We're gunna be bringin' other shit to the speakers alongside the Hip Hop too, Reggae, Dubstep and basically anything we feel rocks...
(late addition - Skuff & Inja now added to 9th October date...)
Here's details of the launch party for the Orphans Of Cush'White Noize' project, taking place on the 25th of September @ Jazz Cafe, in conjunction with YNR Productions. Copies of the CD will be available on the night, and if you're lucky some limited t-shirts too. Louis Den beat battle also representing on stage. Be there...
...and as an extra give away here's two joints lifted off the forthcoming release for you to download - 'Rain Blood' and 'Reflections'.
More tape rips for ya, here the mighty Mud Famalam get busy on Kiss FM back in '97. Skinnyman, Chester P, Mongo & Intenz let rip for 7 minutes of mayhem, this was around the time the 'Mud Files EP' dropped on Jazz Fudge Recordings. I've got a whol'eap of Mudlumz live tapes here to go through at some stage too, hol' tight. Until then, enjoy the Mud...
So, we all know that a good way to get your music out there, talked about, played on radio and written about, is to mail it with a press release to magazines/dj's/tastemakers etc, with as much information about the artist and product you're wanting promoted as possible (also including the release date, catalogue number, label, format etc).
Now you'd think Tim Westwood of all people would know that this information is paramount in your release schedule? Back in 1992 he released a 12" on his Justice Records label from General Levy, a dope record if ever there was one...
However, just check out the press release that came with it, you couldn't get more brief, it's like he was in a rush to get out the office that day. Gotta laugh, i've seen some dodgy press releases in my time but this one took the biscuit, mind you, he got the main points down I suppose - 'the no.1 jam on the street', 'slamming hip hop with a mad fat bass line', 'hottest ragga dj in the uk', and 'produced by tim westwood & bryan 'chuck' new'. Oh yeah, and 'check it'. No more, no less.
Nuff said I s'pose, and I must be honest, the music DID do to the talking on this occasion, and that really is a 'mad fat bass line'...
Check it, far too many names to mention here but if you click on the flyers you can see for yourself. All taking place on the 28th-30th of August @ the Aeon Festival down in Exeter, Devon. Sika Studios bring the goodness...
If you've been checking our recent radio shows you'll have heard the AR Mullah produced 'Bars On A Bass Drum N Snare' from Nottingham's Tempa, Scor-Zay-Zee & Shifty Spirit, and also the Nick Stez remix. Here's some behind the scenes footage from the CRS camp of the making of the video, which finds Big Trev (big up bro) randomly wandering around with his camcorder and getting said MC's to spit some game, funny stuff...
Watch for the forthcoming video and also a 3 track promo from Scorz in preparation for his album, plus a whol'eap more.
Here's the August edition of the Suspect Packages Radio Show, nuff heat on the turntables this month, including an exclusive play of the forthcoming Foreign Beggars single and new London Zoo material, both on Dented Records. Plus new Tactical Thinking, Scor-Zay-Zee and crew, Sonny Jim remixes, Orphans Of Cush, Double D Dagger, Contact Play, Karl Hinds and many more upfront shit. You know we consistantly bring you the newness, even Monty was rockin' in the SP Bunker this month...
No special guests though due to shear amount of tunage to get through (which gives me more time to vent my anger at bootlegging blogs), but wait 'till next month on the guest tip, sheesh...
