Heavy Vibes: Tracklisting

. First off, apologies for the fact that this has taken me a few days to do. The day job has been keeping me more than busy. Anyway, last weeks Heavy Vibes session was an absolute scorcher. Our special thats go out to Guest Selecta Matty J for an absolutely exquisite selection, alongside yours truly, and the Erbalist.In fact, these sets were so good, we’re gonna be putting them up here in a post, along with a permanent download link (because we’re nice) very soon. But for now, you can still download this show via our radio page until Thursday, and a full tracklisting is below: Continue reading…

Oh snap, son! - It’s the Mixtapeshow video podcast

Our good friend Dex Digital at mixtapeshow.net (snap, son!) has just released the latest edition in his video podcast series. Check it out. Good beats, good visuals, from probably the best hip hop website on the ‘net. Nuff Said. Do yourself a favour and take a look. This video concept looks like its gonna run and run, so get up to speed with what’s happening.
For the lazy among you, I’ve embedded the video itself below. More details/comments etc are up the post at mixtapeshow.net 

Riot Control 9 released

tv02.jpgIt’s been a while, but out good friends Burt Fox and Sonny Noir at Riot Control have been busy. Episode 9 in their high-quality, on-point podcasts has just been released. Riot Control 9 is out now people, so do yourself a favour and download it! This episode strays from the usual dub/funk/hip hop formula, and focuses on electronic music as selected by Burt himself. Fully recommended by the crew here, and we’re already looking forward to Riot Control 10!

(Oh yeah, Burt’s been working on on lots of his own tunes of late, some of which will be premiered in future RC episodes. If you can’t wail ’til then, check out his myspace.)

We’re looking forward to hearing your work in ‘08 gentlemen, keep up the pressure, Brooklyn style!

Heavy Vibes In The Area

Wed 21st Nov. 8pm Uk time. Blunt Beats Radio broadcasts the latest in it’s live series of “Heavy Vibes” sessions. Blunt Beats residents the Erbalist and Agent M are joined by guest DJ Matty J on the night. Straight up, heavyweight, roots, dancehall, and dub sounds in the area. Be sure to catch this one.

Allsorts: Tracklist/Download Details

As predicted, Wednesday nights show was top-notch, providing audio indulgence from across the years and across the genres. “Allsorts” certainly summed the evening up, especially when Doug’s laptop died just before he was due to start a hand-picked electronic set. This saw him immediately turn to some of his hip hop tunes (on wax!), that were close to hand, and you lucky people were treated to a totally unrehearsed selection of fine UK beats. Tunes on the night were also provided by fellow Blunt residents Marcus Hurley and Agent M. A full tracklisting is below, and you can download the whole show until Thursday, via our radio page. Nice.

Making Life A Bit Easier…

We’re nice chaps here at Blunt HQ. Thoroughly good eggs. We’re like the Trevor McDonald’s of the webworld. Except, of course, that nobody in their right mind would trust us to read the news, and we haven’t got a knighthood between us.

Anyway, because we’re nice (or I am, anyway…), I’ve been through all the posts on the site, linking those applicable with a download tag. Put simply, you can now use the download tag (in the green column on the right, titled “Tags”) to bring up all the posts with mix download links for sets from all the blunt beats residents.

This will allow you to get to the tunes (which, lets face it, is what it’s all about) a little bit quicker. Gold star for me.

A Mixed Bag O’ Tricks (again…)

Tonights live radio sees the return of well-received our allsorts show. Put simply, we give three DJs and hour and twenty to play what they like. Totally indulgent.

Making a guest appearance on the show (and a return visit to Blunt HQ) is Adam Williams, who will be playing his own diverse selection at 10.40. Also on the bill are blunt beats residents Doug and Marcus Hurley…..Enjoy :)

AFRO business

Tomorrows radio show sees us launching our newest themed night. AFRO (Absolute Fucking Rinse Out) sees us taking in the hardest, bass-heavy tunes across the genres. The launch night sees sets from J, and exclusive selection from special guest KZA (Desert Storm), and Agent M on the turntables. Expect to hear lots of smoked out, booty-swaying dubstep, and electronic mash up music as only we know how. Whatever you do, don’t miss this one…..
