Those of you who follow the blurb that we write (when we can be bothered) on this site will be aware of the fact that I’ve been involved in a few hospital-residing episodes over the past few months, with broken bones, cracked ribs, and heavy medication being the order of the day.

Saying that, I’ve still found time to do the odd radio show, mix (and festival) here and there. (Don’t tell the doctor!) This mix here that I’ve hilariously entitled “Calcium Crackerz” is taken from one of our recent Soul Food radio shows. Its just a mix of straight up hip hop classics really. Don’t be expecting any amazing mixing, as I do have an arm thats still broken in 3 places. (Many people will say I sound just the bloody same when I’m not smashed up. Philistines…)

Saying that, the tunes are good, and it’s been a while since I’ve put anything out for download, due to both lazy and medical reasons. You can download the mix and listen to it at your leisure here, and a full tracklisting is below.
