THE BLOGS COMING BACK!

I Am DJ B — Thu, 24 Dec 2009 12:22:46 +0000

Big up to everyone who has been following the blog and hitting it up on a regular through 2009. As you can tell, content has been low last few months due to being very busy and focused on other sides of what I do. You helped me get my personality and geekyness, as well as my love for music across very well (I think)…..

BUT

The blog will be back (date TBC) with a new look, new contributors, and a whole bag of new stuff/mixes/features etc. I shall be using the cliché saying in regards to this – I’m Goin In!

No one on the blogging got swagger (played out) like us (me)

See you in 2010!!!!

I AM DJ B

Big up SB TV, he is fully putting the work in and I highly rate the kid.

A new feature on his Youtube channel is F64 aka Fresh 64; an exclusive 64 bars from some of the UK’s heaviest MC’s. I featured the first one courtesy of JME. This time, Wretch steps up to the plate and makes me realise why he’s one of my favourite MC’s.. fire

I WANT THESE DUNKS

I have these in Brown. I want them in Grey too. Possibly in Black as well.

These would make a perfect christmas present. Just Saying….

BAD INTENTIONS

I Am DJ B — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 19:40:46 +0000

My friend and fellow DJ alumni (it’s like a cult, without suicide pacts, but with Serato), DJ Yasmin (follow her here ‘pon Twitter, she’s like a Twitter celebrity or something), started a new night a few weeks back: Bad Intentions.

The ethos; Good vibes, a friendly atmosphere, and stupidly heavy RnB & Hip Hop with a dash of Dancehall and other such good musics. It would (I imagine) be heavily 90′s and noughties Hip Hop & RnB (aka The best).

AND…..it FREEEEEEE! My favourite price.

The reason I’m bigging this up so much? Not just cos I’m DJing there this Sunday alongside my favourite Female DJ named Yasmin (I know 7 of them, fact…….ok, it’s not a fact. It’s a lie), but because Yasmin does this night purely based on the love of the music. It’s not a money-making venture, it’s a night that allows DJ’s to play the kind of shizzle we wanna play, and the ravers a place to come and hear it (possibly shimmy too). I co-sign that kinda movement all day!

On the launch night, she had Mr Thing (badderman DJ), and last week motive was in the building. This week is me, yes me.

Expect to hear (amongst others), tuneage like this –

and this

…probably some of this

….definitely some of this

….I’d be a fool if this wasn’t played

…..you get the idea. It’s gonna be heavy. Pure good music that you never hear out in clubs anymore.

BASICALLY BE THERE, OR YOU ARE RETARDED (IN A BAD WAY)

Details of venue and time on the flyer, or email me for more info

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhh!

SB.TV – JME “F64″ FREESTYLE

I Am DJ B — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:29:56 +0000

Big up my Twitter brethren SB!!!!

This is sick. JME goes innnnnn (no pun intended), and he genuinely is one of the nicest on the mic in grime….

Can someone just sign BBK in the UK please? If you know what your doing, it could work.

ALICIA KEYS MAKES A MONSTER OF A SONG

I Am DJ B — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:11:10 +0000

I’ve genuinely been unbelievably busy….I’m gonna start blocking 45 minutes a day to blog. it’s the only way.

Alicia

I definitely didn’t post this photo because her back off looks amazing. Definitely

Anyways as her new album comes closer to release (I’m not like one of these huge sources of information kinda of blogs, I’m not that guy! Just google it, but it’s coming in December I think), Alicia is ready to drop her next single after ‘Doesn’t Mean Anything’.

It’s titled “Sleeping With A Broken Heart” and I can safely say, I have played it non stop for the last 2 weeks. SMASH!

produced by a fellow named Jeff Bhasker who is my hero (he produced and co-wrote a large chunk of 808′s & Heartbreak). Badderman producer and is clearly going to be the go to guy in 2010.

This hasn’t gone one day without getting played and then wheeled up on my itunes. The drums!!!!! I loves them…

Super hyped about Alicia next album…

ALICIA KEYS – SLEEPING WITH A BROKEN HEART

HIDDEN GEM: DALVIN DEGRATE “WHY CAN’T WE”

I Am DJ B — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 00:16:21 +0000

This was meant to be a weekly feature. The last time I did a Hidden Gem was in February

Par: 1 – Barry: 0

Actually while I’m on the subject, check out the last one. A great record from Bilal here

This hidden gem, is from 1/4 of the legendary group Jodeci. Dalvin Degrate

You would be forgiven for not knowing, that back in 2000, Dalvin released a solo album titled “Met.A.Mor.Phic”. It was released independently and I think its fair to say, it was pretty shit.

However. The jump off single and the only record of the album that some people may find familiar, was this little beauty.

Still love this record!

The video was awful though LOL
