GROOVEMENT

Chris Bachalo is one of my favourite contemporary comic book artists purely from his recent work on the now weekly post-Brand New Day universe of the Amazing Spider-Man. Here’s his big-man GHOSTFACE cover for METH*GHOST*RAE’s WU-MASSACRE long player…

And here’s the METH cover…

Wow. Fantastic to finally see and hear a long length and in-depth interview with JAY ELECTRONICA, down at the Red Bull Music Academy currently taking place in London for the next week and a half: I only wish I’d done the interview! Found out about more about this hive of creativity here. Groovement alumni at the project include Tokimonsta, Illum Sphere and Kidkanevil.

Jay Electronica swept onto the hip hop scene in a wave of enigma late last decade. The effect of his quirky, emotional sound was compounded by the erratic methods of their release, drifting out unannounced via the internet – the Myspace leak of Act 1: Eternal Sunshine (The Pledge), a fifteen minute opus laced with movie samples and beatless film soundtracks, represented the beginning of an astounding surge of interest in both the man and his music, back in 2007. Since then, the New Orleans-born MC and producer has garnered heavy support from everybody from Nas to Gilles Peterson, and has worked heavily with soulslinger Just Blaze, dropping two instant neo-backpack classics, Exhibit A and Exhibit C. Only recently he partnered with New York-based “idea studio” Decon, working on his debut album as well as a video project with label founder Jason Goldwatch. With more anticipation around his Act II track than the rest of hip hop’s class of ‘10 combined, and another project with fellow supa emcees Mos Def and Curren$y in the making, the future couldn’t look brighter for Jay. To paraphrase his recent collaboration with Talib Kweli und Hi-Tek: he’s only just begun.

Hoya Hoya mainman Jonny Dub’s slot on Groovement today was complimented by a surprise appearance from LA Victoriana-head Daedelus, who span some exclusive iiiish to accompany Dub’s massive tune selection. Tracklisting of sorts will be forthcoming.

This is the raw recording at 320kps, consequently there may be a minute or so of dead air at the end. Big. Stream below or click on the image above to download direct: you’ll have to add the badge yourself, sorry!

A massive thank you to both musos for a BANGIN show.

Originally broadcast on www.UnityRadio.fm on Sunday 7th March 2010.

Next week: NORVUN DEVOLUTION

As if Don’t Panic’s little bags of wonder weren’t full enough of glorious flyer-related nom-ness, along comes Banksy with an exclusive for the company.

Details:
After almost a decade since his last Don’t Panic collaboration, we are over the moon to announce BANKSY as our new Don’t Panic Poster artist! Celebrating the launch of his new film Exit Through the Gift Shop, the poster features a 100% EXCLUSIVE piece entitled ‘Forgive Us Our Trespassing’.

Please feel free to let us know what you think of the artwork!

Ah, one of my fave Bullion joints, the remix of Hustle by Paul White. With Slum Village. Escucha y download…

Big up DAPPA DUBS!

Groovement’s Rock ‘n’ Roll phase continues (hear Part 1 with the stunning Miz Deshannon here) with Manchester punks Gold Blade jumping on the Groovement decks… Join us for two hours of rock, world and punk with singer John Robb, drummer Rob Haynes and general band dogsbody/looker-afterer, Dave.

Tracklisting to follow, but kicking off with Killing Joke…

All worked out well in the end… big shouts to everyone who tuned into the show live and your big self for coming to download the podcast. May be some dodgy levelling going on but we were getting used to a new set up like. JONNY DUB takes us on a special Hoya journey while music muser ORSII drops in to sprinkle us with thoughts and tunes. I especially like Jonny’s “Shit…” at 2:05 or around there when the cross-fader cross fades.
