I’m a little bit hip-hopped out after the excellent Rising Styles festival live day yesterday (I’ve got a couple of phone photos on flickr). The ending was admittedly marred somewhat by them turning the sound off on Blaq Twang after his first track – if there was that hard a limit someone should have let him know at least, as he seemed completely in dark (literally so once they turned off the lights). Other than timing really everything went brilliantly, so congrats to all the organisers and all the acts, and congrats to El Nim for a) surviving a scotch egg induced choking incident b) becoming the official Brighton Kidz in the Hall fan.

On a related note, DJ Dee-Ville dropped a comment mentioning his Lakim Shabazz mix. I’d already been all over it thanks to the magic of RSS, but if you haven’t checked it out do give it a listen. If you’re not familiar with Lakim Shabazz, perhaps it will help to know he was a member of Flavour Unit back in the day, and that every one of the beats on the mix is a certified 45 King banger?
