We wax lyrical about as much as we can squeeze into 2 and a bit hours, starting with D’s career in the mid 80s, his roots, his involvement with Liberty Grooves, his vinyl releases and of course, his addiction to plastic!!  Yes the licorice merry go round is in full effect, wax fondlers everywhere need to hear this man drop science on a range of subjects… <p>

Adult life sometimes throws such a mix of things at you… I can walk in from work, pick up the mail off the floor and open a court summons while my 4 year old daughter is simultaneously saying “Daddy, Daddy!… I drew this for you today!” and presents me with a picture of our dog, Snoop or something.  You know? At least there’s karma there, ying and yang… But this week, I felt like there were no crayon drawings of any pets, just constant hammerings, I felt like I’d been ripped through by a whole team of blood thirsty rugby players .  Worst thing was I couldn’t do anything about it… so what did I do?  Laugh… PISSED myself!  Haha, I had a joke competition and asked people to make me have a good laugh!

And, thank the maker you lot responded and I heard some top drawer jokes!  The winner was my man LG with this killer:

Una Stubbs had a marriage offer from Idi Amin.  She accepted and was then known as Una Amin (younahmean?!) Haha! Sounds funnier when you say it, but well done to him, he wins a CD of Evil Eds Dope LP “The Enthusiast” Courtesy Rare Kind Records

Disco Scratch Radio 14 - Def J

Back in 1991 I picked up Def J, Mad Bomber and KLA from the train station in Pompey as they had a jam booked at the Polytechnic.  Now I just cannot remember how we got together, I can’t even remember if I hooked it up, I’m sure my man Comic Shop Dan had something to do with organising this… Mr K was a student in Pompey at the time and that was deffo the connection but how it all worked out I just can’t remember… the long and short of it was that these live dudes were in my motor and having a right crack, running down each other with mum jokes, slurping on the blue thunderbirds (all except J) and being raucous, after all, it was a day at the seaside for these guys!!!

This was the start of a friendship lasting nearly 2 decades.  Tonight I bring you Original One, aka Def J, frontman of Encona Coarse, the lyrical scientist who devastated our ear canals with “Rhyme Grenade”, “Streets” and the coveted “Just Save It”.  J’s career is still ongoing and shows no signs of slowing down.  We spoke for over three and a half hours, I managed to get this down to 2 hours and 20 minutes, damn homey is deep!!!  So great to reconnect after all this time… for those that don’t know O1 came and wrecked shop with a dope performance at the Heroes Of UK Hip Hop Jam back in 2007, which was about a year after we reconnected.  Now listen to the story that formed this heavyweight MC and what this lyrical Jedi has done in his career… download after the tracklist…

Live & Direct From The POV

I know I’ve been away and not had much chance to get my act together for the shows, but as some of you know I had some family stuff to deal with.  Anyway, stronger than ever I’m back this week and for the next 4 weeks I am back in full interview mode.  The lineup is 90% there but not sure yet what day those people will be on (confirming today)

The show is always evolving and now I’ll be including the following sections:

Guest Mix

Your chance to send me a mix for the show, no more than half an hour.  Upload to somewhere like Mediafire then use the contact form to let me know you’ve uploaded it, or just hit me on FaceBook.  There are no rules, just do your thing!  Oh, I’d prefer it if you could not include profanity as over the next year I’m hoping to increase the portfolio to try to get the show on a station like the BBCs Radio 6.  E-mail is discoscratch@gmx.com if you prefer.

Pub Quiz

Let the nerd in you jump out and get cred.  Probably I’ll be running this every other week.  I’ll be going through the rules and stuff in this weeks show, basically you need a team of 2 or more and I need at least 2 teams per quiz…oh, and obviously you need a team name, something like “Rap Nerds”, “Bicuit Dunkers Unite” or “Uphill Gardening Massive”, oh, er… sorry that’s another quiz… so hit your geeky mates up, get a team ready, leave your nines at home and bring your geekiness to the battle…

Wax Can’t Drum

In the forum I put a post up about what track you’d like me to recreate.  Once a month I’ll do this and it’ll be on the show first then on youtube and facebook.  I decided I might as well push the boat out with this, so I’m actually going to try to recreate every part of the track, so I’ll drum, scratch, do the samples and god help me, rap! There will be a vote for you to pick which old school classic out of four you’d like to hear, so I’m at your mercy!  Be prepared for me saying I’ll do it once a month and that turning into once a year though!  If I get it down to pat I might even do a set at the DS Christmas Do! (God help YOU LOT!!!)

Competitions

As well as the pub quiz I’ll be running regular competitions with great prizes courtesy of my man Ewan at RareKind Records Brighton.  This will probably be every week that I don’t do an interview, or if the interviewee wants to give something away then I’ll be doing something joint with them.

Reviews

If you have a new release let me know.  Use the contact form and I’ll send you postal details for vinyl and promotional stuff.  For MP3s please e-mail discoscratch@gmx.com.  I’ll do a review on the show and also post it up on the main site, like I did with the Solid and Mind 12 and the Chrome EP “Flow Man”

Chart

Also I’ll be doing a chart rundown, probably either once a fortnight or once every month.  This will be for whatever Hip Hop is out there that’s floating my boat at that particular time.  It’s impossible to get any real idea of sales and such, so when I hear dope stuff I’ll be noting it in a chart.  If you know of stuff that’s out there, let me know in the forum, there’s a special section in there.  I’ll be posting the chart on the main site as a separate post with a mix of the tracks in that chart so you can hear them or burn to CD or whatever…

Disco Scratch Rap Session

Whenever I get a chance to catch up with MCs I’ll be recording live rap sessions for broadcast exclusively on the show, so if you’d like to come to the Palace Of Villainy with your crew, I’ll hook the mics up and get on the decks while you drop science.  I am mobile and have the gear to record wherever, but it’s never like it is in the studio while accompanied with jerk chicken, rice n peas from Tasties in Dudley & Red Stripe from my man J at Bain’s Wines up the road in Netherton!  That’s what I’ll be providing for those that want to bless the mics…

Guest Co Hosters

If you feel you’d like to cole rock the spot with me for a show, let me know… I can do it in person with a visit from you to the Palace Of Villainy (preferable) or over Skype.  I used skype (username DiscoScratch) with MC Duke and it was crystal clear with no lag, so deffo an option, but never like it is when you do it in a studio together.  I’ll be doing some shows with Big Jim soon and hopefully Duce (both from my old radio show) so as usual let me know via the usual channels…

Suggestions

As things progress with the show I love to get your feedback, so in the forum there’s a section for feedback and comments about the show, so let me know if you’re feeling what I’m doing or not, also feel free to add your comments to this post, but the forum is probably better as many more people can be active in the thread

Well, that about wraps it up for this update, speak to you all on the air, peace & hairgrease…

Anyway, here’s a short video explaining all, speak soon, peace!!!

And Like That….

I’m Gone.

There can be only one!

Well, Disco Scratch has officially slotted into a sub sub sub sub subculture.  We corner the global market of biscuit & Hip Hop enthusiasts, there is no doubt!!!  As I did a 4 hour special, I got into the mix for the first couple of hours then ran the show with the official KOTB theme at 9PM, so I chopped it in 2 so you can cop both parts and keep the length of the MP3 down a bit.

So for anyone new to DS or to the site, we rocked it like this.  It became a bit of an in joke on the show how us old buggers would meet once a week, get nerdy & drink tea & scoff biccies while listening to hardcore Hip Hop.  A couple of weeks back I had to hang my head in shame while I chomped on Asda’s own flavourless chocolate biscuits while all the others repped hard with various nang biscuits!  So I offered up a challenge, get your most gangster bix (geddit?), your finest tea set, some old tunes and any other old school related bits and bobs, get yourself in the picture and make sure there’s something from DS in the background.  I wasn’t disappointed and here are the results!

So here are the entries for the KOTB contest last night, what a quality night thanks soooo much for all that supported it was wicked!

So, here’s my old chum Ridlas:

Rockin the fresh Hijack Tee, points for that, Star Wars hat gets props, graf cup, feelin the biscuits but can’t see Disco Scratch anywhere, had to mark you down for that!  Nice to get a late entry from Ridla though and nice one for getting it over on the e-mail…

Next is my man LGs:

This was super tough to judge, he’s got it all going on here, note the quality M & S posh biscuits, also rockin a super dope Hijack Tee with the fly balaclave in true britcore style, with Disco Scratch Radio in the background (extra nerd points for being on a mac!) Great entry…

Next up is homeslice Chris Zero:

Now out of the entries I think he tipped the scales with the most gangster biccies, I mean Wagon Wheel is like mid way to a different type of snack but still carries weight in the biscuit category, I know the judges were undecided as whether a Wagon Wheel could be accepted as an entry, but after referral to the EU Chris got the all clear.  So, let’s see what else is in this one… Hob Nobs also make for a well endowed fly biscuit so if there were sub categories he’d get the biscuit gangsterness category.  Also rockin the Hardnoise 12 same as Repo, slightly disappointed not to see serve tea then murder, after all that is the DS anthem!  Still, a fine array of music and great entry.

This one’s from big show supporter Bunkernut:

Fine choice with the biscuits mucker, plus you actually got your kipper in your picture so bonus points there… nice Kold Sweat 12 on the deck, but your points went zooming up by actually getting a family member involved!!! Love the picture your daughter drew that is super dope and the addition of the picture top right, well…. Suits You Sir!!!!  Great pic making it sooooo hard to judge…

But, there had to be a winner, and here is that picture:

What a sublime effort, the 80s movie mags, the old electro mag, the record selection, the biscuits, DS on the MBP, it’s all there…

Super dope entry Repo, I hereby crown you King Of The Biscuits 2010, GIVE IT UP!!!!

KOTB will be at 10 o’clock, plus I’ll be starting a couple of new features in the show, regular competitions (with ACTUAL prizes!), like the DSR Pub Quiz for all old school UK nerds, the DSR chart (need to get the formula for this yet, not sure how to go about this one but I want to do some sort of chart each week, just a top 10)

Also, some of you have seen my new found drumming “skill” on youtube… so for a laugh I decided to take requests in the forum, here’s the dire performance in all its’ glory:

Click here to view the embedded video.

I’ll be putting a choice of 4 old school bangers for you to vote on, first vote is already up here, so click that & get yourself registered to vote if you’re not already in the forum.

The shop has had to take a backseat for the moment for various reasons, should be up around autumn… lastly, seriously thinking of doing a Christmas event this year so looking for possible ideas for that soon…

Just a mega quick post to let you lot know my man Gibo is taking orders for the second run of his super dope high quality Hijack T Shirts.  Cop yours here

Dust… that’s what I had on my fingers after doing the show tonight.  I should have had some snooker referee gloves on handling the wax for tonight’s show!  Some nice old slabs of late 80s US plastic, as usual digging into the US stack plus a couple of new cuts.  I’m now doing jam news every week, on the top of the hour at 10PM every week.  Starting next week I’m also going to do a Disco Scratch chart.  This will run as a post on the Disco Scratch Forum where you can vote for your favourite tracks of the moment, real basic, best tracks reach the top, those that don’t won’t!  It’ll probably take a bit of fine tuning, it’s not like there’s stacks of new material that appeals to the Disco Scratch audience, so I take it on myself to put say 20 tracks on the site and you can vote for your favourite.

I’ll just see how it goes, it’ll be interesting to see how much interaction there is, I mean I think of Disco Scratch like this… once a week at around ten to 9, old buggers shuffle into a darkened working mans club, put their coats on the stand revealing a faded T Shirt bearing the name of an old UK crew, order a cup of tea, break the seal on a packet of chocolate hob nobs and sit down to sift through the beats entering their domes!  At 11 O’clock, they all say their goodbyes in standard Hip Hop sign off format and leave the room with a warm glow, a tea induced high and a bellyfull of family circle biscuit selections… a happy soul to know that there’s life in the old dog yet! (To Quote Websta!)

I’m the barman, chatting with you all and providing the background music… the fire crackles away in the background while we smile at memories of B Boy battles, scarpering from the plod and rival crews after bombing the neighbourhood and doing pause button mixes…

But, for any hard rocks reading this, trust me, Disco Scratch is no pushover, if need be we’ll form like Voltron (whatever the HELL our yank cousins mean by that!) and throw our Hob Nobs in the air while we grab handfulls of import 12s to battle you with, DON’T test the Disco Scratch Sound System, we’ll draw tracks that’ll stomp the plop out of ya!  Just look at our tracklists from the past shows…

Ahem, anyway, got carried away there, download’s after the tracklist, Enjoy!!!!
