EMALKAY – WHEN I LOOK AT YOU
You know this song has to be special for me to be posting a YouTube video of a low res version of the track don’t you?
The Birmingham Dub Police representer passed through the 1Xtra studio tonight and killed it in his mix for our “Future Of Dubstep” night – we had him, 16 Bit and Lost in all spinning rather sick guest mixes. Will post the iPlayer link soon as its up. Until then, get ready to loop the above & fall in love!

BASEMENT JAXX – SCARS
As a DJ, I regularly get sent advance promo copies of albums and singles. Some are great, some not so; but every now and then you get really excited about getting your hands on something you’ve waited for – knowing that you’re getting it before the mass public. A couple of weeks ago, I got my hands on this:
Loving this album right now, Basement Jaxx have really gone in and delivered with this album. The promo CD is in my car and is on near consistent rotation right now. As a Jaxx fan, they’ve taken it back to the anything goes vibe of Rooty and have got a guest list that includes artists as diverse as Sam Sparro, Santigold, Paloma Faith and even Yoko Ono!
The track that is KILLING it for me right now is one that I had to pester the label into allowing me to get the radio exclusive first play of (Shouts to Chris & Hannah); a track featuring Vula, Meleka, Kelis and Chipmunk on the title track called ‘Scars’:

1XTRA DUBSTEP WEEK – DAY TWO
Tonight’s show was all about Dubstep vs the US – I caught up with US superstar Eve. we had a Guest Mix from the new LA resident Rusko full of exclusives and DJ Plastician passed through 1Xtra towers to speak about the “Dubstep LA” mixtape (I even wore my Undrcrwn USA Bear T-Shirt in honour!) Hold tight for the linkage…

Tomorrow from 7pm we have the Dubstep All Stars in the mix with Chase n Status, Nero, Jakes, Joker and Plastician back to back
1XTRA’S DUBSTEP WEEK – DAY ONE
All this week on 1Xtra is Dubstep week – I get the chance to represent a genre that is currently DOING IT for me and for an increasing amount of people at the moment.
In order to know where we’re going we have to know where we’ve come from so tonight (Monday) has been all about ‘The Roots Of Dubstep’:
- Dubstep PIONEER Oris Jay hooked us up with an amazing dark garage/proto-dubstep mix..
- El-B & Noodles came into the studio to talk about the Groove Chronicles days & the history of Dubstep as they know it (shouts to Sarah Soulja!)
- And Radio 1′s First Lady of Dubstep Mary Anne Hobbs broke down how she fell in love with the genre and in turn introduced the world to it with her seminal Dubstep Warz
It was pretty emotional and most definitely heavy. Listen again to the whole show for the next 7 days here.
Plus you can download a mini mix from current Dubstep party don Rusko FOR FREE for the next 7 days by clicking the picture below.
GEENEUS & MS DYNAMITE – GET LOW
It hit the internet as ‘Crackish’ thanks to people ripping it from Geeneus’ MySpace player but ‘Get Low’ (to give it it’s proper title) has finally managed to make it’s way into my hands and I LOVE it! I made it my Jam Hot record of the week this week and we got Ms Dynamite into the 1Xtra studio to chat music, life & who she’s feeling right now
From ‘Bad Gyal’ to her performance on The Nextmen’s “Lion’s Den” to this, Ms Dynamite is back harder than ever – as though she’s got a point to prove & fire in her belly. Hooking up with Rinse head honcho Geeneus works on so many levels – here’s hoping there’s a few more Gee & Ni collabos on her forthcoming solo material.
Check the interview here – fast forward 1 hour into the show. Shouts to Desi (GGi).
MOBO AWARDS 2009
Tonight on my show I had the pleasure of being controvertial! Along with the ever glamourous gossip queen Max, we revealed the MOBO Awards 2009 nominations.
Lots of “WTF??” moments including Jeremih being nominated for Best R&B before he’s even released a record in the UK; Dublin’s Laura Izibor being nominated in the Best UK newcomer category; Dizzee’s “Bonkers” not being nominated in the Best Song category and Drake being nominated in 2 categories (look, while Drake is definitely the future of HipHop, the nomination feels a little premature as it comes before any official release…)
Then there were a good few surprising but for the right reason moments including Donae’o getting a nomination for Best UK Act; my boy Bashy getting 2 nominations (Best UK Act & Best Album for “Catch Me If You Can”) and JLS getting a nomination for best song for “Beat Again” (we all know it was my remix that got them the nomination!) and of course me being nominated in the Best DJ category. Yes, you read it correctly:
I’ve been nominated for a MOBO in the Best DJ Category!!!
It’s my first MOBO nomination and as I’m sure you can imagine, I’m overly chuffed! I remember watching the first MOBOs on TV wishing I was there & dreaming of winning an award. Now, I’m nominated and it’s a possibility I could win.
I’m up against some very stiff competition including a couple of legendary DJs who have inspired me in the past and more than a couple of colleagues (full list below) but if you feel like you like what I do on the radio, in the club and on the blogs please register here or click on the picture and vote for the youngest DJ nominated in 2009!
And remember, a vote for me is a vote for the underground! Find out who wins what on 30th September 2009.
