GET SOME
17TH APRIL 2010 2100 – 0330
THE GRAMAPHONE 60-62 COMMERCIAL ST LONDON, E1 6LT
MOSCA DANCING ROBOT MUSIC ELIJAH & SKILLIAM DARK ARX PRINCESS OF WALES SSG WHISKEY + OUZO
On the 17th April, Get Some returns home to the The Gramaphone with a card stacked full of talent.
Tipped by Fact Magazine as one of their producers to watch for 2010, Mosca (www.myspace.com/deejaymosca) is leaving no stone unturned this year. When not working on Bruk Magazine (www.brukmagazine.wordpress.com) with Unknown Soulja, or promoting their club night U Dun Know, he’s busy in the lab cooking up beats. Super fresh production, genre smashing club music. Square One is out now on Night Slugs.
With remixes under their belts for Hot Chip and Gorillaz, a pioneering 3D rave night, a radio show and a record label, Dancing Robot (http://www.dancingrobotmusic.co.uk) look set to stop at nothing but world domination. Their live shows are pure hype and the lads’ sets at packed out Coronet and Koko are sights to behold.
Badboy Rinse FM DJ’s Elijah and Skilliam have been rocking out shows across Europe with the toughest grime and dubstep sets. It can’t be overstated how much they do for the scene with their Butterz blog (http://verybutterz.blogspot.com/) pushing the sound far and wide. And with a record label on the way, the levels continues to be kept high. Dubplate pressure not to be missed.
As per, resident Get Some selectors will keep you niced up all night with the right blend of old and new. Stick it in your diary.
5 POUND ALL NIGHT

It has been a long 5 weeks in the sun, recharging my batteries and playing some tunes! Lots of stories and lots of fun. NYE was a banger in Koh Chang, and being on national radio in Bangkok was ace!

You can still expect to see music reviews, recommendations, mixes and the standard OUZO vibes coming soon at GET SOME.

It’s Monday morning, and YES, you read correctly, WU-TANG clan meets dubstep. There is a lot of hype about this album so I felt that I should write something about it. I’ve had a couple of listens to this and am still undecided. There are a couple of tracks that stand out, the Scuba mix of ‘Street Corners’ being one, but the majority feels like Dubstep circa 2005/2006 (this isn’t a bad thing of sorts, it’s just the sound has evolved so far beyond that now).
In my opinion it is still worth listening to. Regardless of taste, in the very least, it shows how the two genres (Hip-Hop and Dubstep) can cross over and well. There are other examples of this of course, Dabrye – Air (feat. MF DOOM) Kode 9 remix, and Starkey’s take on street bass definitely hints at some of the more left field/underground Hip-Hop that has been coming out of US in the last five or so years.
I think it is available on iTunes, so go check it out, here is the full tracklist:
1. Deep Space (Jay Da Flex & Yoof Remix) 2. New Year Banga (Rogue Star Remix) 3. Street Corners (Scuba Scythe Remix) 4. Love Don’t Cost (A Thing)/Still Grimey (Nebulla & Dore Remixes) 5. Knuckle Up (Matt U Remix) 6. Biochemical Equation (Datsik & Excision Remix) 7. Keep Hustlin (Trillbass Remix) 8. Now Or Never (Parson Remix) 9. Cinema (Chimpo Remix) 10. Coke (DZ Remix) 11. Iconoclasts (Syndaesia & AKS Remix) 12. Handle The Heights (Stenchman Remix) 13. Do It Big (Baobinga & I’d Remix) 14. Wu-Tang (DZ Remix) 15. Let’s Get It (Evol Intent Remix) 16. Lyrical Swords (Pawn Remix) 17. Think Differently (Hellfire Machina Remix) 18. Pencil/MyPiano/Firehouse (Soroka Remixes) 19. Alphabets (Dakimh Instrumental Remix)
So, as the year comes to end, and I am getting closer to leaving the UK for five weeks, I have decided to break down the things I love about South London. I am born and bread South East and the world is finally starting to take notice. Don’t believe me, check out what the Metro and the New York Times have to say about it: METRO ARTICLE | NY TIMES ARTICLE.
‘East has happened, South is happening…’, that’s the word on the street. Even East London heads are whispering it. Here are 10 things I love about South London that I think are worth shouting about. Over the next four weeks I shall deliver exactly what I think is great about in ten parts. First up, a bit of music, of course.
1: THE XX
There is so much to say about this band but I am going to leave it at this… they are astonishing. I have waxed lyrical about these guys for a while after being introduced to them by a friend of mine called James. Since then I have had the album on repeat. Only three other albums have caught my attention like this one in the last couple of years, The Phantom Band – Checkmate Savage, Mystery Jets – Twenty One and The Foals – Antidotes.
Check out what the Guardian had to say here: THE GUARDIAN. I have already posted a track from YouTube but I love them so much, here is another one.
Here it is, the live set from GET SOME 001. Don’t watch the end as myself and SSG had some technical issues. BIG UP!

I was inspired by the remix of this track, big up Starkey, bad man for real! Unfortunately I think it’s a dubplate, so here’s the original. If you want to hear the Starkey version, check out his FACT MIX here: STARKEY FACT MIX, it is seriously banging.
