UK Hip-Hop Producer, DJ & Ex Itch FM Family, Ghost presents:

'A Tale of Life In VI Parts' EP 

"They say the best music is created in times of hardship. Hardship can be many different things in many different ways but everyone experiences hardship in one way or another over the course of a lifetime. We all know music has the ability to influence the way people feel and for musicians it can be a way for them to deal with situations in life. Countless artists have produced music reflective of what’s happening around them, inside them, it’s the expression that’s important."

Mike Allen Capital Rap Show

Mike Allen and Salt n' Pepa

http://www.mikeallencapitalradio.com

"Mike Allen Capital Radio Show, In the 1980's Mike Allen hosted a Hip Hop show on London's Capital Radio 95.8FM, the show was responsible for introducing many of us in the UK to the world of Hip Hop.

The show ran from late 1984 to the summer of 1987, in retrospect this short period of 2-3 years seems like a drop in the ocean but the reality was that Mike's show was massively influential in the growth of this new music form in the UK.

What was so great about Mike's show was his enthusiasm for the music and his unbiased attitude towards his playlists. If you ever listen to a WBLS Mr Magic show from the same era you will notice that the records played were almost all NYC releases or at least east coast in origin. Mike would play every type of Hip Hop no matter where it came from so you got to hear east coast, west coast, Miami and even the odd UK release, so complete coverage of what was happening at the time." - From

"Groove Records Hip Hop Sales Chart broadcast on the Mike Allen Capital Rap Show on 21st February 1986.
Groove Records was a small independent record shop in Soho, London. Every Friday night Mike Allen would count down the top 20 records on his Capital Rap Show."

Foreign Beggars DJ Nonames presents: Cakemix (Mixtape Sampler)

Kyza of Terrafirma & DJ Nonames of Foreign Beggars

"DJ Nonames rolls up his sleeves, dons the apron and cranks up the heat for Cakemix! Whipping together joints from the cutting edge of the new generation of producers, Foreign Beggars plate technician bakes up something as carefully constructed as 2007’s Beggars Brew.

Stepping away from the grime/dubstep mood of last years ‘Strictly Grizzness’, Cakemix starts out in the vein of recent Foreign Beggars EP, ‘Beggattron Remixed pt 2', with productions from Onra, Om Unit and Blue Daisy, sifting through bangers from Kid Kanevil, Mux Mool, Flako and Metabeats. Using the finest ingredients, timing combined with healthy lashings of accapellas and cuts, Chef Nonames serves up a slice of some of the freshest food out the kitchen. Cakemix will be available on a very limited run direct from www.dentedrecords.com Oct 18th, meanwhile here's a morsel to wet your appetite." - From Foreign Beggars
