I forgot all about this track – it’s very old. About 12 months ago Original Scars sent us Damage message asking to collaborate. They choose our J-Lo bootleg, the Deeper prototype, to flow over. It’s a slightly different sound so we sat on it and eventually forgot all about it. Until now…
Enjoy.
VENOM & DAMAGE – STOP ME (FEAT. ORIGINAL SCARS)
BTW expect radically different stuff from Venom & Damage soon.
My friend Inie, one half of the fierce DJ combo, Hipsters Don’t Dance, gave me some tracks by Da Grin, P-Square and Terry G – three amazing Nigerians who have been blowing my mind.
They are all too musically diverse to be put together by anything other than their nationality. It’s all slightly generic too but that doesn’t stop it being all ridiculously good.
This is my favourite track
TERRY G – FREE MADNESS
Here’s another
Two weeks ago I was mainly listening to these tunes.
Natalie Storm – Look Pon Me
Boy 8 Bit – City Under Siege
Saeed Younan – Backroom Honey
Venom & Damage feat Ibrahim – Sweat It Out (house mix)
Harry Benson – Kudzu
Alex Wizz – Drummin’ (Louis Benedetti Drumminpella)
Venom & Damage feat Original Scars – Keep On Movin’
OMG Girlz – Ain’t Nobody Thinking Bout You
If Rick James sung on a Chicago house track???
Things are suddenly picking up again. I REALLY must sort out the release of Deeper. EVERYBODY from Adam Freeland to pirate stations in Luton are playing it now.
Special thanks to La’Donna, Phil Thompson, Ibrahim, Philippa Cardinal, Becks, Ben and co.
Check out the Modeselektor edit of Venom & Damage’s Deeper.
Shit it’s all blowing up like crazy over the past few weeks. Big DJs going crazy over Deeper, remixes, vocalists and talk of vinyl and digital releases. Tomorrow we’re recording vocals with Tribal Man.

Venom and Damage – Deeper
Now DFA’s not so ubiquitous I’ve realised I made a mistake – it was actually alright! All those years hating Our Disco were wasted. This song isn’t that great but the video reminds me of all my favourite 1980s dance movies.

Just to think – I was in that very kitchen the next day!
I can’t believe I’ve never put this MP3 up before. I think our remix of the track’s one of the best out there. People seem to like it so we’re doing lots of UK Funky material.
Jeremih – Birthday Sex (live version)
Jeremih – Birthday Sex (Venom and Damage remix)
I think this is DJ Comix AKA Biagio
Here is a remix we did of his track. I really like it.
