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).
DONAEO MAIDA VALE LIVE VIDEO

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:

Donae’o's set video coming soon…

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!
BASHY x TODDLA T – MILLIONAIRE **EXCLUSIVE**
Were you listening to my Radio 1 show over the weekend? If not, you missed an interesting interview with Flo Rida (put it this way, he sounds like he’s not the sharpest tool in the box) and the WORLD EXCLUSIVE premiere of the brand new Bashy record “Millionaire” aka “Who Want’s To Be A Millionaire” produced by Sheffield bashment/hiphop/bassline/funky/electro don dada Toddla T.
Bashy also set the mission mixpossible challenge and then had the cheek to say I nearly failed when I clearly bodied it – check it all on the iPlayer here but if you can’t be bothered to hear the whole show (and you really are missing out)…

BIZZLE & DONAE’O TAKEOVER!
Last week my Jam Hot was Lethal Bizzle’s brand new track “Go Hard” featuring and produced by man of the moment (and crown King of Funky) Donae’o.
Last thursday I had the pair pass by 1Xtra towers and we spoke about the past, present & future. Bizzle came strapped with an exclusive from his forthcoming 3rd album and the pair performed “Go Hard” live for the first time ever. Here’s what happened:
C.A.N.S
I have decided to start a new Coalition Against New Skanks aka C.A.N.S. Why? Well, it’s getting a bit bate actually.
First came the Head Shoulders Knees and Toes – clever, fun, easy to do. It spawned so many remixes and of course the (future) award winning parody ‘Egg Soldiers Beans & Toast’.
Then came Jump In The Middle And Skank – it had sick production, it was fun, it was catchy.
Then came the Tribal Skank – ridiculous production, energetic, original.
Then came the Migraine Skank – good use of big riddims, easy to do dance that wouldn’t make you look too waste on the dancefloor.
And then that’s when the funky scene was overwhelmed with the sound of the bottom of a barrel being scraped.
The Ring A Roses Skank – overly complicated & swagger jacking a sick beat
and now, the JUNGLE MAN Skank – well, make up your own mind:
I have seen people tribal skanking, heads shoulders-ing, jump in the middle & skanking and migraine skanking it out but I have NEVER seen anyone in a club ring a roses skanking or jungle man skanking. Will I ever or will C.A.N.S save the day before Gus from Eastenders invents the highly complicated ‘Wasteman Skank’?
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!
