VENOM & DAMAGE – STOP ME (FEAT. ORIGINAL SCARS)

BTW expect radically different stuff from Venom & Damage soon.

Download it now

I didn’t play games for a least a decade before I got GTA IV and to be honest I don’t really have much desire to play anything else. Maybe it’s the drug deals, the twitter pastiche, Porsches, and the coked up Brits dancing to a Paul Oakenfold piss take. It’s just a big lol.

Anyway, the game has some of the best music ever. Here are my favourite three tracks. I had to ditch Buju Banton, Cerrone, Marley Marl, DJ Khaled, Liquid Liquid and Fleetwood Mac.

Machine – There But For The Grace Of God

Skatt Brothers – Walk The Night

Hello – New York Groove

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

P-SQUARE – WH DEY HERE

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

DJ VENOM – DECEMBER 2009 MINIMIX

If Rick James sung on a Chicago house track???

Fun times.

As sampled by the great Bitch Ass Darius in the above track.

CO-ED – ROLL WIT ME

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.

Check out the Modeselektor edit of Venom & Damage’s Deeper.

Produced by Mark “The 45 King” and sampled heavily by the KLF this track is perfect. The sleeve looks great too.

VENOM & DAMAGE – MAXIMUM CARNAGE II

I’m feeling so sorry for myself today I can’t do ANYTHING nevermind clean my flat.  High quality bitch rap like this provides some comfort.

KHIA – LIKE ME

I saw Ed DMX DJ last night at a Dissident Records party in Soho.  It was fun.

It reminded me how music should be – real vinyl, scratching, eclectic, clever and joyful.  He kept switching between styles from gangsta rap to funk to electro to acid and beyond. SO GOOD!

He’s got a podcast you should check out. It has this freestyle gem on it:

PAJAMA PARTY – YO NO SE

Those Two Sisters were OK but this is the real deal. One of the best battle records ever. I know it from Street Sounds Vol 8.

Bring it on.

SPARKY D VS THE PLAYGIRLS – THE BATTLE

BTW Sparky D’s back after a 20 year break from entertainment as a christian rapper.

I don’t know where I got this compilation. It’s the type that has lots of songs inaudibly pressed on each side and the first beat frustratingly skips so even if wanted to use the pressing to DJ you’d screw up. You know what I mean? About a third of my vinyl’s like this.

It’s called “Paradisco: 12 essential Italian club cuts” and it’s full of early late 80s/early 90s house. My favourite track is this:

MB – YOU DON’T GET STOP

I could be as big as 20 Jazz Funk Greats if just stuck to one genre. One year on and this blog’s having an identity crisis.

Here’s  DJ Glamour’s latest mix – New era vol. 9.

1. Inmaculado ft Rezz G, Trilla Demus & B Double – Money Skank

His last mix disgusted, enthrilled and make me feel old in equal measure. New era vol. 8 featured Funky Dee’s charming “Are you gonna bang doe”, Roska, Busy Signal, Zed Bias, Seany B, Sticky, my remix of Birthday Sex, and loads more. You can download that here.

Here are some of my favourite tracks from the first few months.

MANTRONIX – WHO IS IT (FREESTYLE DUB)

AMG – BITCH BETTA HAVE MY MONEY
