Risk One...

Man talk about fingers in pies, seattle-based DJ, producer and all round party dude Risk One is bringing heat to my inbox via his refixes of JT, M.I.A. and The Cool Kids.

Risk One - My Patchy Love

M.I.A. - Bucky Done Gone (Risk One B'fix)

Cool Kids - Black Mags (Risk One B'fix)

Hit the myspace for more mash-up action and a couple of mixtapes that would even get Steve Hawking shaking his ass.

If you're in Seattle tomorrow night then make sure you get down the Last Supper Club for Risk One, Z-Trip, Aceyalone and Gift Of Gab! Someone get Mass Hysteria on the speakers and send me the video.

Risk also does bare residential spots and his own show 'The Leak' on X104 FM. Check it.

Here's an Example just a little sample...

Aidan requested some hip-hop for summer so I thought i'd get on the Example bandwagon and stick these tunes up. Snow Day posted one of the tracks off his We Didn't Invent The Remix mixtape a while back and I liked it but didn't delve any deeper. Then I saw the lad on BBC 2's Culture Show and thought 'Yeah, good stuff. This boy could be on to something.' He's got a tight flow and some comedy lyrics, as well as dropping some knowledge about Chernobyl on this documentary made whilst making the video to What We Made.

Example - Who Needs Sunshine?

Example - You Can't Rap

Example - Toxic Breath

Video for Who Needs Sunshine? - Example randomly decides to parody the cult Monkey series in this video which was all filmed in one day in London and contains scenes of comedy townie-bashing.


The single I Don't Want To is released June 11th on The Beats record label.

Example also has a string of dates around the country this summer (as well as some gigs) including The Beats Tour featuring el Skinner and Mitchell Bros, kicking off on July 24th in Inverness, Scotland. Hopefully i'll make it to the Edinburgh date on the 27th. See you there.
