DJ Spyro - Old School Set

Cheeky update.

I hadn't locked into Spyro for ages until tonight. The set was brilliant, with flawless mixing as standard and a top-notch selection. I didn't record it all; TNT's Nissi escaped, but still there's about an hour and a half's audio here with more than enough classics: 138 Trek, Champagne Dance, 21 Seconds. That Gorillaz tune.

It worked though. Nothing but happy vibes, this is a straight download. Enjoy.

Rinse 07: Spyro

I haven't really been following the Rinse Mix CDs but, after seeing Spyro's latest edition, I might have to change that.

I've only listened to Skepta's Rinse 04 mix and, despite the selection being true to the genre, the lack of versatility thanks to the glut of Boy Better Know tunes, tunes which most fans have heard before, did disappoint.

Rinse 04 partly serves as an introduction, but still Spyro's attempt seems to bring greater variety with grime still holding a slight sway. And the mix should be better, what with him still regularly DJing and all that.

Have a look at the Fact Magazine preview here.

'On Friday Night Man Are Merking FWD...'

That is the biggest line-up I have seen on a flyer for a very long time. £11 for advance tickets, £12 on the door and £8 for all the students who give air to their assignments.

The End, 18 Central West Street, Friday 22 February 2008.

'When I was on the Rinse 1 double 0 3 you were in your bedroom cuz listening to me'

I remember when I used to watch the bonus footage on Roll Deep's 'In At the Deep End', and Flow Dan spat that lyric in some car. I've always liked it.

'Sending Season' is in overdrive right about now, with Edmonton's war of words not slowing down and the Flow Dan under fire himself from Taliban. Not any Afghan freedom fighter, but former crew member Trim/Javan/Trimothy/Trimbale/etc. Have a listen for yourself on Trim's myspace.

Both Trim and the Dan were on Rinse last Sunday. It was a good set. In fact, Boy Better Know/Roll Deep and the Newham Generals have provided some really good radio in the past few weeks.
