UK FUNKY JAM SESSION #1 – VIDEOS
This time last week, all roads led to the legendary Maida Vale Studios in West London for the first ever UK Funky Jam Session. We got an amazing band (The Dynamikz – thanks to Reggie Kerr) and some of the hottest names in UK Funky to come and perform their tracks. For some, it was their first time with a live band. For others, it was a chance to show how strong an artist they are.
Gracious Nappa Man K’s first time performing with a live band:
KIG Family’s “Head Shoulders Kneez & Toez” with that live band twist:
Crazy Cousinz Set:
Donae’o's set video coming soon…
SWAY – MERCEDES BENZ (OFFICIAL ONLINE PROMO)
A couple of weeks ago I had the world premiere of Sway’s brand new track ‘Mercedes Benz’ on Radio 1 & 1Xtra when I was covering for Trevor Nelson. This week, the record is my Jam Hot record of the week and Sway has put together an online promo video for the record:
Shouts to Sway & the whole team. Zane Lowe put it so eloquently…it’s a “heatrock” no doubt. Sway will be my special guest on my 1Xtra show tomorrow night. Tweet me if you have any questions for him.
DONAE’O – PARTY HARD ALBUM SAMPLER
On June 8th, the long awaited album from Donae’o “Party Hard” will be in stores and as a taster, Donae’o is allowing you to download a taster of the album for free. Click the picture to get your free mp3.
BRING IT BACK!
Shouts to the Play Ents crew – they’ve got another one with this:
Love this – takes the UK Funky skanking concept and flips it on it’s head. The Bogle & The Running man is ME!! Shouts to Lady Lukanz on the spot!
CIARA IS TAUGHT THE MIGRAINE SKANK (VIDEO)
R&B superstar Ciara passed by Radio 1 & 1Xtra towers today to promote her new single with Justin Timberlake (“Love, Sex, Magic” – very sick song, AMAZING video!) and before she went to do Ace & Vis’ show on 1Xtra, I got a chance to interview her for my BBC Radio 1 show.
She was really nice & genuine and gave some great answers to my questions (you can hear the interview on my BBC Radio 1 show next week); and as Gracious ‘Nappa Man’ K was also in the studio, I took the opportunity to teach her the skank that is taking over the UK and introduce her to The Migraine Skank:
So there you have it – she may be cavorting with Justin Timberlake in her new video but Ciara can get down with the UK flavours too! Wonder if she’ll be doing it in her next video?
UPDATE: Ciara seems to be so taken by the skank, she twittered about it too!
SOLDIERS AND TOAST? THE EXPLANATION!
First off, thank you to everyone who’s watched and commented on the ‘Egg Soldiers Beans & Toast’ parody video. Due to overwhelming demand, we’re looking into getting it available as a free download from the Radio 1 website – or a charity download for Comic Relief.
Thanks to those people who have noticed I’ve lost weight too – working hard at it at the moment. I’ve already lost a fair amount (and brought my BMI down significantly) but I’m still nowhere near my target weight for my wedding this summer. If you’re overweight too, watch out for the ‘Wedding Body Plan’ workout DVD with me in 2011!
The reason for this post is to answer all those critics who seem to have a problem with the chorus mentioning two types of toasted bread – one simply being toasted bread cut into strips. To answer your comments:
-
- Yes, I know that soldiers are made out of bread.
- Soldiers sounds very similar to shoulders which is why we used it.
- No, bacon or sausage wouldn’t have worked better there.
- If you toast 2 pieces of bread, you would simply cut one up into soldiers to dip into your egg yolk and the other would remain intact to hold your beans on top.
- Yes, you’re reading far too much into it – IT’S A PARODY!
EGG, SOLDIERS, BEANS & TOAST
Everyone else is doing one so…
You’ve seen Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes. Now see Egg, Soldiers, Beans & Toast by the H.U.N.G.R.Y Family and the new dance – the RUMBLY SKANK!
Look out for the new skank in the video “The Rumbly Skank”
Starring:
MistaJam as MistaJam
Producer Dellessa as Irate Producer
Producer Sarah as Ladies
James as The Egg
Internationally reknowned DJ Fabio as Café Doorman
Work Experience Rob as Waitress
with a special guest appearance from Hitty, Creepa & Bubbly a.k.a the KIG Family
Shouts to Alistair and Karen from the R1/1X online department.
THE RINGA ROSES SKANK
You’ve learned the Soulja boy.
You did the Rolex Sweep.
You’ve perfected the Head Shoulders Knees & Toes.
You now can do the Tribal Skank in your sleep.
Rather than reach for 2 anadin, you do the Migraine Skank.
Well now, you need to learn a new dance: the Ringa Roses skank.
Bigzy & Unkle have taken Footsteps’ sickkk ‘Green Light’ instrumental and added a dash of the nursery rhyme invented for victims of the bubonic plague (dun know the history knowledge!)
The skank is pretty decent but isn’t UK Funky now getting a bit line dance? A bit Achy Breaky Heart? That said, the HuNgRy Fam’s RUMBLY SKANK which is getting it’s WORLD PREMIERE when I cover for Trevor Nelson on Radio 1 and 1Xtra tonight will dun the place!
HEAD SHOULDERS KNEES & TOES – VIDEO
