Forthcoming on the highly anticipated Camo & Krooked album thats dropping on the 3rd October on Hospital records, Skittles gets in the studio with the duo and between them they conjour up a storming dancefloor cut. With Manchester MC Skittles trademark wordplay alongside two of the UK’s freshest producers this is only one reason to pick up the album. As if you need another.
So here are the pictures from the ADHDJ collectives’ debut at the Roadhouse last Saturday. 1nejack opened up for the Robot Bodypop with a dub-reggae tinged set to warm up the proceedings and went back to back with Killian playing deep beats for the first hour and a half. Next up was Ben Starr from No Rush Dj’s spinning moombah and carnival vibes. DJ Penance paved the way forward with some funky tribal house rhythms and glitch hop, leaving the stage set for Metrodome to totally smash up the set with his unique brand of filthy hardcore dubstep. We got great feedback from the night and are really appreciative of the many people who braved the grim Mancunian weather to show their support. From the Robot Bodypop and the Fragmentality crew a big
THANK YOU!!
Special shouts out to Ed Sprake for his awesome work with the photography 🙂

I first peeped RDubz’ productions back in late 2009 when I found his debut album Baptism By Electro sitting around on Amazon. This year he’s back as RDoubleE – And the gloves are off! This EP is dark, moody and deep – gone are the sweet electro house vibes that marked his debut. This EP proves his range and ability as a producer.
You want nasty pal? I’ll show you f***ing nasty!!
The EP is out now on Roots Recordings, co-founded by RDubz himself to give up-and-coming artists with genuine talent a shot at releasing their records independently. Sewn Deep is a collaborative effort featuring the innovative talents of heavyweight new producers SeiFer & Surgical, John Maveric, and the enigmatic Pablo. There is no filler on this release, just 100% bangers – Buy Buy Buy!!
Check out the 5 tracks I have spotlighted from the EP in tonight’s Robot Bodypop (14.9.11)
Bag it on Juno now!!
A great tune I’ve clocked only recently, feeling it big time – The deep bass and searing synth sounds alonside the sinister vocals of Linton Kweli Johnson give off big vibes, dealing with the controversial subject of the ’81 riots in Brixton. Had to big it up. Enjoy the deepness.
Hiatus – real name Cyrus Shahrad – has long been fascinated by the events of April 1981, a violent retaliation against years of joblessness, segregation and police intimidation among Brixton’s black community, and which shook Thatcher’s Britain to the core.
“It seems a potent time to release Insurrection,” says Hiatus, “partly because of the anniversary, but also because we’re once again staring into the cold eyes of a Conservative government oblivious to the dangers of racial and social profiling.
“We’re facing financial meltdown and mass unemployment, we’re having our libraries closed and our forests sold, and we’re seeing disabled protesters ripped from their wheelchairs when they try to sound the alarm on the streets of London. If there was ever a time to reflect on the UK’s largest outpouring of community anger in recent centuries, this is it.”
