Mix Download: Agent M – Destination Midnight

It’s been a while since I’ve put any mixes out for download. No excuses really. I’ve just been slack

Anyhow, I’ve decided to make up for that by uploading this archive hip hop session fron one of our previous Destination Midnight radio shows. Tunes from artists including Mobb Deep, Company Flow, and Rakim. Also, look out for the exclusive beat from Prolifik (reworked by Pizzle Fresh!!)

A full tracklisting is below, and you can download the mix here.

Enjoy! :)

Well Seasoned

Soul Food

In keeping with the summertime barbecue vibe (Big up to all the crew at the inaugural Ribstep cookout last weekend!), we’re doing another Soul Food special on this weeks live radio show.

Live from 8pm tomorrow night, Blunt Residents Agent M, Marcus Hurley, and Doug will be providing another stoop-sittin’, dice-playin’, chicken-munchin’ soundtrack with lots of quality soul, funk, hip hop and associated head noddin’ beats in the mix.

Best put the 40’s in the fridge, player…. :)

Ribsteppin’

Here’s some footage from a (very loud) night put on by our friends at ribstep. Booming hip hop, breakbeat, dubstep, drum and bass, and jungle were the order of the day. Nice. Big up to Chronic Sounds for taking care of the low-end bizznizz. A quality night was had by all. Expect to hear more from the ribstep crew in the near future…

You can listen to/download all the sets from this event at www.ribstep.com. Beats from Rib, DJ Swineflu, KZA, Seizmic, Ginger John, and Blunt Beats Djs Doug, the Erbalist, and Agent M.

Narukami Rinse Out

Narukami

Our chums over at Narukami Records have just started their own radio station.. a 24 hour loop of Rinse-out DnB and Dubstep bizness.. very nice! :)

Seizmic and KZA have also just completed their first show for their Narukami Podcast – a live session from the 24th July.

Spinning loads of new tunes, with a sprinkling of forthcoming material from the label… all very heavy!

So. There you have it. Yet another excuse to pour a large drink, sit in the sunshine, and enjoy the vibe from this belter of a festival.

(Talking of which, if you’ve missed any of the live recordings we’ve been playing over the last couple of weeks, then fear ye not. We’ll be putting them out for individual download in the near future)

Urban Picnic Sounds – The Playback

Adam Williams @ UPS 2009

As our heads are still a little fuzzy, in après-festival mode, we’ve decided to take things a little easy on this weeks live radio show. Also, it’s a little “Brucie Bonus” for you people in webland (as we’re nice).

From 8pm tonight, we’ll be playing some live recordings from our recent outing with our Urban Picnic Sounds project at the Rhythms Of The World festival. Those of you that were there will be able to re-live the musical fun and games from what was a blinder of a weekend. Those of you that weren’t will find out what you missed, and will be treated to some great music from the Family Blunt and Friends.

Sets tonight will be from Blunt Resident Doug, and special guests Matty J and Adam Williams. Top notch stuff, I can assure you. Perfect for the sunshine vibe.

As a bypoint, we’re well aware we haven’t put up too much (well…ok…any) footage/pics etc of the festival as yet. Don’t worry. Rest assured we will. Very soon.
