This is not London; it's in a UFO sent from the planet DULL!

This is not London; it’s in a UFO sent from the planet DULL!

We got to the O2 arena about 11pm after polishing off a Pizza each at Canary Wharf. There was a full on cavity search at the entrance to the Arena!!!! Ok, maybe just bags and pockets, but still unexpected, because this wasn’t even Matter we were entering. The O2 Arena can best be described, to [...]

All the Ak based BMP members were in attendance for Jazz/Funk legend Roy Ayers’ gig on saturday night.  I don’t know if the others have much to say about it.

This time I managed to spill (white!) wine over Websta’s uk garage collection [...]

Where they're at

Where they’re at

I’m in a flat but still haven’t had a chance to review the Innervisions party at Fabric which was over a month ago. Whoops. Ame and Dixon are playing again here on the 30th for another Innervisions night. I’m not the biggest fan of Plastic People and Thursday night…. we’ll see.
Saw these on Faith. They’re [...]

Proof of the utter genius of this `piece’.
I’d carry on, but theres no real need once ya have heard it

Willie Graff And Tuccillo - When The Sun Goes Down [Drumpoet]
After going through a bit of a full on love affair with drumpoet for awhile, I was pretty pleased to discover this new one on the weeekend. After listening to the track I had to do a bit of research as Willie Graff was a new name [...]
