u were there??? I was with cable, furious p and furio the majority of the night must have missed you. if you're going tommorow i'll prob be with the same crowd so hit me up if you see me did the cameras show red jacket from trauma team (scratch science) doing thumbs down motions when the winning team went on stage? trauma team were my favourite although i think the japan team deserved it. the disablists' midnight in a perfect world routine was beautiful. I missed the majority of supremecy so couldn't comment. sup man, yeah i was there... going again tonight. saw cable at the very end. if you're going tonight cable has my number, would be cool to link mate

what was your take on it man?

Well, i don't know where to start... after 8 years of cutting and finally moving to london, this was my first chance to see the world finals disappointed. Not that I didn't expect what I saw, instead that it essentially confirmed my suspicions. it was weak. from the quality of the DJing to the organisation. The crowd were fucking clever trendy wankers who didnt dance, but then how could they dance to the music played? pure head nodding noodly wank. "dirt off your shoulder" got its 514343th juggle. there were several netik biters. the judging i dont think I need to even go into. tony prince on point with the racial generalisations, and mocking the people who didnt speaka zee engleesh. i think the thing that pissed me off most was the absurdity of the whole thing. the pantomime-esque posturing of not the DJs, but DMC as an organisation. lol. "organisation". the advert breaks, the namechecking of all the sponsors, the bigging up of CALVIN KLEIN CK ONE. the 10,000 USD as prize money, as 5000 quid just doesn't sound as much the fucking "special edition" advert for the iron man film that is coming out that was played in the break while the team entries were being judged "as a special favour from marvel comics to the turntablist community" , despite the advert being on youtube and the apple website for what the past three weeks or so. the disablists' set was shit in the first half, whereas the second half of their set was surprisingly shit-hot. kireek deserved to win the teams hands down. shiftee did not deserve to win the supremacy imo, and or d'eurve was the crowd favourite in the final, even though he sounded very netik-esque. every result got booed, tony prince got booed when he said "listen, the judges may be fallible, but you guys in the crowd are INFALLIBLE." to which he got booed more. the ortofon dude got booed when he said they made the best needles. then got booed harder when he said congrats to shiftee for taking the award back to new york where it belongs. i went home bitter and pissed. my flatmate and i had to laugh at the absurdity of it all. and now I've paid money do go and see the finals tonight. if rafik doesnt win there is going to be a riot.

p.s. will give a better synopsis of the night tomorrow when i have woken up/sobered up

Just got back... comedy night... Cool to see Cable again though

*tumbleweed*

I'm gonna be there. If anyone wants to hook up let me know. Cable - How's it going mate! Good shit getting third place in the UK finals!

Awesome, much appreciated guys...

good suggestions guys. Rusty, good shout on the sixtoo, gym class heroes however are far too tame. I'm essentially looking for stuff that is as listener un-friendly as possible. An anti-mixtape, if you will , it's a long story, bu I want the end product to be as alienating to listeners as possible!

Anyone go any suggestions? I'm compiling music for a concept mixtape and the theme is DARK. Basically, I'm after anything that is instrumentally (and also preferably lyrically) disturbing. Soundscapes such as the instrumentalism of DJ Signify and lyricism of Necro are the order of the day, and stuff like Lorn's creepcore stuff is pretty much perfect. In fact, that Lorn shit is exactly what I'm after. Anyone got any suggestions? Pace

yes mate! mix can be any length over about 15mins, otherwise no requirements. just good, decent instrumental hiphop

yes very good idea matt

appreciated, but cant find any purely instrumental mixes

right.... got your attention... basically, i need you to upload any dope instrumental hiphop mix you got. why? well, im gonna use it as a revision tool by dubbing my essay plans over the top to listen to on the tube - beats staring at same old notes! mixes can be any length over 15mins... if you dont fancy uploading just point me in the right direction of some dope mixes i must dl. but it MUST be instrumental peace!

yeah thats what i meant liam
