Beating Heart Baby!



I was watching ABDC Season 3 the other night, and one of the dance crews danced to this song. It's a top awesome banging full out punk rock tune with great lyrics.

It's been around since 2006 and Head Automatica haven't been all over the charts since to be honest - but I totally love it. Top top tune!

That's all - "baby is this love for real?"... Oh, how I asked that question so many times in my more verile days! :)

We All Love Drake!



I cannot explain just how much I'm loving Drake's mixtape 'So Far Gone'. This kid is on another level for me. I can't find a single blip on his mixtape - it's all just filler!

Tunes such as successful, uptown, brea's interlude, little bit, unstoppable, best I ever had, 18th November and Forever are absolute killer.

This guy is probably going to be the next big thing - the next Jay-Z perhaps? He does name drop him in quite a few tunes though.

Some might say, given his southern swagger and clever rhymage-adlibbing, that he has all the hip hop-rnb-bluesy qualities of a superstar; but whatever your opinion, you just can't get away from him.

Drake for 2010 - and here to stay...
Chris Brown - I Can Transform Ya Feat. Lil Wanye



I seriously love the new Chris Brown album. He's done very well with the amount of dance floor fillers on the record 'Graffiti'. I'm loving I.Y.A, Pass Out, I Can Transform Ya and Wait. Completely well thought out banging tunes. A nice development from 'Forever', he's grown up and matured well on this record.

But he's got some nice chilled tunes on there too - such as Take My Time and So Cold. This is a very good record with a lot of depth on it - perhaps some people will read 'post Rihanna' cryptic messages from it, but either way - the boy done good. He is sorry after all?

I'm loving the warped autobot deathcon beat on the video above, it's completely killer!?! Can't put this record down whatsoever - "Autobots... Roll Out!?!" vroom vroom!?!
Firing Dizzee Rascal - Dirtee Cash!?!



Who doesn't love Dizzee? He's been knocking about for ages now - and he's come along way since 'I Love You' and 'Fix Up Look Sharp'. He's always had a way with killer spanking singles and pistol whipping videos draped in Evisu and bling - but this single takes it right back to the early days.

I'm totally feeling the Money Talks sample and the video is literally 'fire'! Can't get the tribal fancy dress rave bonfire theme out of my imagination - it's a total killer record.

However, there are those who think this guy only rose to our screens due to Mercury Music Prize winnings and humping Radio 1 weekly. Nevertheless - I tilt my hat to some dirr'ty grime brappage!

Let's Go!?! Enjoy.
Culture Shock 2 is here! Massive Sunny Brown, Lomaticc & Baba Kahn!


I am totally loving Culture Shock 2! I've been waiting ages for this record to drop, and after the huge success of Culture Shock 1 East Meets West - the hit parade has landed again.

There isn't hardly a bad tune on this record, I love 'Fida', 'So Fine', 'King', 'Love Song', 'Avenue' and 'Dil' - there's a lot of depth on all of the songs, with brilliant production and awesome hooks and desi lyric'age!

Sunny Brown's desi spitting is brilliant and Lomattic does add some wonderful sweet smooth tones all over the tunes.

Baba Kahn has done very well on selecting the featured Guest list on the album too; namely featuring Twista and Sean Paul!

It's absolute fire this record, and if you are an avid hardcore red blooded desi bhangra head - then you need to go get this record now!

Please spread the word people -and here's my personal favourite off the album, 'Love Song', enjoy folks.
Duck Sauce - aNYway! Boogie on down!



I recently heard this song on Radio 1 and saw this brilliant video this evening. It's a wicked mix by Armand Van Helden and A TRAK.

I love the good-feel happy-chirpy funky beat and addictive organ all over this song. I can't help but think of Saturday nights out and dancefloors being tied to this tune. It's a wonderful mix of uptempo disco and eclectic Armand back on form.

This is one of the best dance tunes I've heard for a long time and the video is just genius all over. What fab dance moves and crazy outfits galore!

Now simply just boogie on down my son! Get in!
Northern Lights - Re-Lit! Massive!



I loved Northern Lights first album 'Sparked' which offered some of the best cutting edge bhangra beats going. But their new album 'Re-Lit' is out this week and I cannot wait to get hold of it.

I loved almost all of the first record, particularly 'Janaab', 'Billo Tere Nakhre' and 'Mirza Boliyaan' but I recently heard their new jump off song 'Akhan De Ishareh' which sounds much more polished and refined than the past few tunes.

It has lovely indie drums and a nice bit of guitar work to accompany the flutes and dhols. Definately worth a few listens.

These guys are one of the few desi bands that are seriously cutting edge and unique judging by their quality outage. No fillers, just pure 100% desi maal!

I loved the banging deathly base drop on 'Janaab' with the fast paced punjabi spitting all over the rapid tabla/dhol. If you love your bhangra fresh and quality assured, you need look no further than with 'Northern Lights'.

Try not to nod your head and 2-step to this bhangra-shangra!?! Massive gaana-shaana!?!
