Crazy baldheads
DJ C is a Boston-based DJ who has been putting out killer jungle tunes for the last few years on his own label, Mashit. The first big tune of his I heard was Billy Jungle, his take on Shinehead's Billie Jean with a killer jungle beat under it (get it here - Mashit 004). It saw official release on UK label Scandal Bag in 2005, with a vocal from an MC by the name of Quality Diamond. He even scored a Peel Session (Peel's 'Label of the month' for October 2004) before the great man passed. Other recent mixes include Gregory Issacs and M.I.A.

His latest tune is with Toronto's Debaser, a jungle take on reggae classic Crazy Baldheads. Wrap your earholes round this. Bonus - grab Mashit 001, a Capeleton jungle rework.


... And Simon Grigg has dropped another one of his fantastic lists, this time it's seven inch vinyl. "Similar rules apply to this list as did to my 12’’ one earlier….I have to own the physical copy, the cut-off is 2000, and there was only to be one from each act..."
my local faves on seven... herco pilots, newmatics, beat rhythm fashion... come to think of it, one of the best tunes I heard last year was only on seven inch, by Tiombe Lockhart... and that DC C and Quality Diamond tune only came out on seven... damn, vinyl is cool...

spotted via Radioscope.. "With goodshirt "no longer functioning as a band", former members Murray Fisher and Mike Beehre have instead joined forces with a fellow Aucklander of similarly considerable quirky pop persuasion, Voom's Buzz Moller.
The new Voom line-up, which also includes Nick Buckton, makes its debut appearance on March 6 when they play support for early '90s alternative power-pop icons The Posies at Studio in Auckland."
So, Buzz, where's the new album, then?????
