He's not the only one either, Master P On Atari Transformed Vol. 1 which is out now on Daly City Records also features the likes of Restiform Bodies, S.P.E.C.T.R.E. and Sub Swara.

And this mosh stomping monster of a track with occasional uzi drum fire and the kind of violent guitar stabs that could seriously puncture your speakers, courtesy of from HavocNdeeD who's single Headspin is due to drop on Play Me Records in the next couple of weeks.

A mini mix of sub bass heavy, glitchy Hip-hop grinders here for you courtesy of Chip Chop, a live production and percussion duo made up of Graintable from Portland (OR) and AD/AM out of Lake Tahoe (CA). 10 tracks of filthiness that does kind of feel like one long and rather intense 20 minute tune, but not necessarily in a tedious way.

(YSI) Chip Chop Mini Mix / alt link

Tracklist:

00:00 - The Edinburgh
03:00 - Untitled & Unfinished
04:08 - Untitled & Unfinished
05:58 - Puking Rainbows
08:20 - Untitled & Unfinished
09:10 - Los Gorditos
13:03 - Solid Gold Nunchucks
16:00 - FPFTF
18:27 - Untitled & Unfinished
19:27 - Launch Blank

The duo are set to be featured on this summer's Motion Sickness compilation from the fantastic Run Riot Records. So if you're feeling this keep an ear out for that one.


Also on a similar tip, we have been absolutely killing a track called Beba, which is the new single from PANTyRAID (aka Glitch Mob's Ooah and West Coast compadre Marty Party) dropping on Marine Parade at the end of next month, it's B Side Get The Money is also fastly growing on us. Both of them are a touch more Dubstep then the Glitch Mob material but Beba still retains those Crunk-ish overtones, helped even further on this mini mix that featured on Mary Anne Hobbs' show a couple of weeks back by fusing it with a Lil Jon accapella.

Great experimental Hip-hop set here from INSIDEaMIND. Which was first broadcast on Toronto's Student Radio, CIUT as part of the city's Nuit Blanche Art Festival. The majority of the records used came from the station's basement collection and were sourced only the day before. Out of these INSIDEaMIND have created a fantastically tripped out soundscape where epic distorted Rock guitar journeys meet firing drum shots and scratched up jazz horns. Thanks to ProF for schooling us on these guys.

Not sure quite when it dropped, but just been made aware of this free album from Error Broadcast Collective, an Experimental Hip-hop label who have sourced some great glitchy, minimal beats from every corner of the globe for this release and also plan a limited edition of vinyl 7''s to correspond.

You can download the whole album in high quality MP3 or FLAC files here, which we highly recommend but there's also a few of our choice cuts below.

Don’t know much about this Glitch-hop track except, it’s dope and it’s by Eloquent from outta Copenhagen. Apparently the Danish city is now ‘Ready For War’, so look out people.

Certified Banger introduce another element to their mission of bringing fresh UK Hip-hop artists to our ears with their free to download 21 track compilation ‘On The Radar’. Showing us that there are still a few worthy soldiers battling on in the scene (some of these admittedly are a little shell shocked maybe). Have to admit to feeling the Grime flavoured ones a little more here at Chrome Kids but there’s a mixed up bag of goodies in this package so check it out and head over to their blog for the tracklisting and a constant stream of ‘bangers’. Here’s our choice cuts:

(YSI) Queens English – Mind The Gap

(YSI) Skandal – Venom (Clean)

(YSI) Size 8 – Watchin’ Me


And for the whole album:

Does anyone remember the truly awful Street Fighter Movie with Jean Claude Van Damme and Kylie Minogue? Wouldn't blame you if you blocked it out, but the soundtrack was actually pretty heavy and featured tracks by the likes of Nas, Ice Cube, Paris and The Pharcyde.

Well the folks at Street Fighter have once again shown a keen ear with the soundtrack for their recently released Super Street Fighter II Turbo HD Remix on the PSN and XBLA. Their 'Street Fighter Underground Remix Mixtape' has a selection of fine tuneage from: Redman & Oh No; Hieroglyphics, Zion I, DJ Toure, Mistah F.A.B. and Qbert.

Our favourite is the Oh No produced Redman banger 'Lay You Out' which we've included here for all those of you who don't happen to own a Playstation.

Let's just wait and see what the new Chun Li movie soundtrack has in store, the film looks like it might well be gash.

Been loving the new Roots Manuva single from his forthcoming Slime & Reason album 'Again & Again'. The single drops some time next week, a wicked little skanking summer tune, hopefully just in time for a late summer to begin!



Not too much worries if the sun doesn't shine though as this remix from Arctic Monkey's drummer Matt Helder's will get you bubbling hard whatever the weather, although it should probably only be played at night... through big muthaph**kin' speakers.

And we can't leave without dropping you this tough remix of 'Buff Nuff' by Milan based production trio 3 Is A Crowd too

I have to admit I’m a little dubious as to how long the Cool Kids can carry off their sound. It’s a fine line between throwing away the boundaries on time and using 80s Hip-hop as an influence - to making old sounding shit. Also, a lot of their stuff kinda sounds like Ice T’s ‘6 In The Morning’ or Schooly D ‘Parkside’ but these artists had a far wider repertoire of styles and tracks back then. Don’t get me wrong, although this track is more of the same, it still bumps and I’m not sick of them yet… infact when I finally play this out I’m sure all doubts will be beaten down by that B-line… and they whistle on the track too… cool. Still I have a friend's rant fresh in my mind from last night's gig (of which more soon). "Why are all these kids trying to relive the 80s, I was there... it was f**kin' shit."

Washington DC DJ / Producer Tittsworth has just dropped a fine album of Baltimore style club bangers entitled Twelve Steps. The impressive guest spots are taken up by Santogold, Pase Rock, Kid Sister, Pitbull, Ninasky and Detroit Booty Bass legend DJ Assault.

Check out a Tittsworth mix including tracks from the album plus others from the likes of Say Wut, Blaqstar, Fake Blood, Chavy Boys, Lil Wayne and George Michael(?!)

Cardiff, Wales is just about to lose a valuable asset in the form of DJ Moneyshot - 'The Mix Tape King' as he takes that trip over the rainbow to the land of Oz and pastures anew.



Known to rock many a party with a number of styles it is these two live sets from the Cardiff independent bars '10 Feet Tall' and 'Buffalo' that really show why he will be missed most by the Cardiff Chrome Kids. Hope you Aussies appreciate what you're getting and make the most of his talents.

DJ Moneyshot - Live at Ten Feet Tall, Cardiff

A Bubbling little mix with the likes of Bassnectar, Modeselektor and Pase Rock and below is a more funked up bumping breaksy set with Chemical Brothers, Crookers and Black Grass included.

Luckily Cardiff still has a wealth of talent left to keep it's citizens satisfied. Not least Dubstep producer Monkey (aka MonkeyDubz) who has just dropped his single 'Volume' on Rossi B & Luca's 'War Dubz' label backed up with Calenda's '8:15' on the flipside. You can pick up the 12" here.

Monkey is part of Hip-hop / Dustep / Bashment DJ and Production team Optimas Prime alongside Stagga (of who more soon) who have produced for most of the Welsh Hip-hop scene over the years but is now concentrating on Dubstep which he feels is the sound he's always been looking for in Hip-hop anyway. He's had a few plays on BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra here in the UK with various unreleased Dubz but this is (as far as we are aware) his first official Dubstep release. However there are upcoming singles scheduled for Heavy Artillery and a remix of Mr Vegas' bashment anthem 'Jacket' (probably flipped with a Sizzla Dub) for the more bootleg orientated Rudis in the pipeline.

One of our favourite Grime spitting, Dubstep ripping, all round heavy hitting emcees Durrty Goodz has schmooved out somewhat to team up with Cardiff / London / Brooklyn king of the grown up Soulful live Hip-hop sound (with a reggae twist) - Me One for a laid back but bumpin' little number called 'Pay Me No Mind' off Me One's forthcoming new album and the current 'Finger's Crossed' EP available here.

Check the great animated video to the track directed by Dan and Andrew Baxter
