You know when your ex-girlfriend comes round and the landlord calls you a cunt and says he's gonna evict you?

Yeah, the above happened so I decided to yardcast some drum & bass. Gets a bit too jump up by the end. I mean we all love a bit of ridiculous, awful stuff, but I didn't really intend to broadcast it. I can't be bothered to do a tracklist right now but if anyone wants one leave a comment

YARDCAST NO. 1

I was on ustream earlier for about an hour. No idea who was locked really and probably a good job as I had to do the whole thing using my headphone mix due to our bitch of a neighbour's constant noise complaints. As a result of this the mixing is pretty sloppy, but the tunes are there. I also stepped on the power at one point and a tune skipped. I can't wait to get some Technics - these Numarks are knackered and weren't particularly good in the first place - they just don't hold pitch.

Tracklist:

1. Roska - The Shepherd

2. Royal T - 1Up (Martin Kemp Remix)

3. Dre Skull - I Want You (Bok Bok Remix)

4. D Malice - Gabrielle Refix

16. Royal T - Beat Fighter

17. Headhunter - Prototypes (Modeselektor Remix)

18. Royal T - Mega

19. Geiom - Reminiscin' (Kode9 Remix)

20. Royal T - 1Up (Martin Kemp Remix) <--- no idea why I played this twice

22. Bok Bok & L-Viz 1990 - Wake Up Early

23. Scratcha DVA - Guro Tribal

Butterz 2010 Mix

I got this mix from Elijah in my inbox a few days ago, but had to hold back on it cos it was meant for Blackdown as an exclusive. Blackdown got parred, as he lists in his post about this mix, so I'm only a few hours behind on posting this. The mix is mostly 2010 Grime, not disimiliar to the previous Butterz mixes, which are all really well thought out and put together, and a brilliant reflection of the Butterz Rinse FM show. The Terror Danjah release on Butterz new label is present, as is SRC, Swindle etc... and everyone who's actually trying to push Grime forward at the moment. Respect.
