UK Hustlerz Volume 1

Back in April 1996 I put together a mixtape to showcase just what was on offer from the UK's Hip Hop scene, no one seemed to be concentrating on our healthy Hip Hop scene in their mixtapes so as far as I’m aware it was probably the first commercially available mixtape of 100% UK material. Straight low budget style though, made with two turntables, a tape deck and a cd player. Spliced with exclusive freestyles to make it that little bit more unique this was the start of many more to come, little did I know just what it would spawn and how it would shape what I do now in the music industry...
I stumbled across a link this morning for the first in the series of the UK Hustlerz tapes, so I thought I’d share it with you, saves me a bit of time anyway. Ya can’t knock the hustle > 1996-2009...

Intelligent Maddness, whut... you don't know??!!

For those not knowing I used to be in a crew called Intelligent Maddness from Peterborough, before I moved down to the big smoke 15 years ago we managed to get our drunk asses off the bar stools and record some material. The crew consisted of three main emcees - Oliver Twist, Crackajack & Red Eyed Skunk, and at times myself, then two producers Chris & Lee (Contagious Productions) and finally our DJ, Wrecka.
We managed to get two releases out, the Mind Over Matter? EP on tape, and the No Room EP on vinyl (this was named after the infamous freestyle sessions we used to have in my bedroom along with the Deftex & Parlour Talk/Undivided Attention crews, big up! I must dig out those recordings, or maybe not... haha).


Anyway, Chris who kinda held us all together over the many years we rolled as the Intelligent Maddness Crew has just uploaded the tracks we put out onto youtube, along with some live photos from the numerous shows we did back then, and some images of the two releases and the comic we also gave away with the 12"...
Check out our steez back way when, and peep me out on the last verse of '18 Optional Purposes' (this track was named after a Swiss Army Knife, jokes).









Some of us are still in touch with each other but we're not recording as a group unfortunatly, Twist is still writing rhymes and i'm still doing my thing with Suspect Packages & DJing, but this period from around '93 to '98 was very memorable, we had a laugh, too many memories! Shouts to anyone that caught the I.M.C. live and all the people we connected with, you know who you are! 1 Love. Disorda.

The mighty London Posse live in '87

I've been a busy bee behind the scenes recently and not had a lot of time to update the blog here with any oldies but goodies from the Disorda archives, apologies, will be up on it again soon...
To fill the gap check out this London Posse performance from 1987 I stumbled across today, it's short and sweet but has Rodney P (or MC Rodie Rok as he was known as back then), Bionic, Sipho (r.i.p.) and DJ Biznizz all captured and performing one of my favourite cuts of all time outta the UK, hands down, their self titled debut 'London Posse'...



You gotta love this, I just wish i'd have been there, if only to hype up dat crowd a bit, jeez! Little did they know just how bad this tune was, looks like this may have been one of the very early performances of this track the way the crowd don't seem to know it?! Muppets...


And here's a bonus, Bionic MC and the late great Sipho The Human Beatbox rocking the flipside of this dope 12" 'My Beatbox Reggae Style' in the back of Tim Westwood's dodgy motor...



I remember watching this when it was aired on TV! yikes... '87 ya LARGE!

Brand new album uploading blog trash...

This is an section taken from my page written in the latest Big Smoke magazine. Incase you've not seen it, please read this, and if you're one of the parasites killing off our artform, please stop!

>>

"How much longer can we all survive if countless dumb ass blog sites decide to post up album’s for free, days after it’s release, or in some cases before it’s release?!! Seriously, sorry to start off with a rant, but for fucks sake, behind the scenes there’s a lot of hard graft going into albums being made, and I mean A LOT of hard graft. Not just from the artists themselves, but radio DJ’s, journalists, distributors, retailers, if this shit carries on we’ll all be out of jobs. We’ll be the downfall of the one good thing in life we’ve created, Hip-Hop.

So to all those punk ass blog sluts throwing up brand new albums, stop that shit. Please. It’s not big and it’s not clever, your argument is that it’s promoting the music yeah? Well when the younger generation are growing up bluetoothing music to each other they’ve got for free anyway, not giving a flying fuck about anything going back into the artist’s pocket they love, not caring about owning any physical product ‘cause it’s for free anyway isn’t it? That’s when it has to stop, we’re killing Hip-Hop..."

>>

This will probally have no effect whatsoever, but I just wanted to highlight the fact that many of our favourite artists, record labels, magazines, record stores, and ironically enough, blog sites, will no longer be around if this continues as no-one will be making any money off the artform to create the music we all love!

Here endith my sermon.

Thank you for reading, Disorda.

Turbo Soul anyone?

Look out for some new instrumental/beats type titles coming onboard to suspect packages real soon, in the same vain as stuff like Flying Lotus, Onra, Dr. Who Dat?, Stevo, Samiyam etc, but on a UK tip of course. Artists such as Hudson Mohawke, Floating Points, Mike Slott, Harmonic 313, Bullion and label mate Paul White to name a few. We're really into this kinda steez and look forward to being able to offer it to our customers, the question is do we have a new section for it, and if so what do we call it? Hudson Mohawke suggested 'Turbo Soul' today, which we like a lot, but do we need to have a new section at all? Essentially it's instrumental Hip Hop thrown in a blender and spat out as something new and fresh. Beats? Experimental/Leftfield?... Anyway it's coming soon, if you dabble in this kinda shit, hit us up...
