Mean Green Bass Thumping Machines


Couple of Hulk Hop heavyweights pile in with all guns blazing today. First up is the mighty Bassnectar who fixes up the Pixies' Where Is My Mind? into a killer slice of Crunk Rock. George Lenton meanwhile is on similar grounds with his Phar Phar Dec wobbling, bumping and grinding more than a fat hooker on horse tranquilizer. Loving the Big Pun breakdown in the middle too, massive!

Getting Fresh At The Weekend


We rolled in force down to Fabric in London on Friday to add some extra legs on the dancefloor for Stagga's set in the Rag & Bone room alongside Raffertie, Kanji Kinetic, noyeahno and Warlock. Some heavy sets from all which pretty much kept us posted in that room except for getting lost on the way to the bar / toilet / smoking area a few times and getting kinda nutty to DJ Hype tearing it down in one of the other rooms.

Next night we touched down at Cardiff's new regular club gathering for all things dutty, electronic and bass heavy, Music By Numbers, which also saw Raffertie's first visit to the city with appearances from the likes of Foamo, Mumdance, Schlacthofbronx, Detboi, Toddla T and Squire Of Gothos all lined up for the future.

As good an excuse as any to post these two recent mixes from the big bouncing ball of banging bonkers beats that is Raffertie. The first was posted on the Fabric First blog as a promo for the night and the other was recorded for Rob Da Bank & Friends on BBC Radio 1 a couple of weeks back.

Free Package On How 2 B Cool

That's right people curb your anticipation we are finally ready to drop our second official Chrome Kids' Fre-Release. Once again we've teamed up with Daly City for a bumper pack of remixes of Th' Mole track How 2 B Cool.



There were two main types of kids at my school, those who were seen as being cool but grew up to be wife beaters and smack addicts, and those for whom cool was an uphill struggle until they finally left education and blossomed in later life. Th’ Mole might seem at first glance to be neither of these. He’s still very much the kid on the outside looking... well not quite in, but elsewhere… which of course is what makes him hyper cool. Not in a Mark Ronson ‘oh look I’m a little bit nerdy, aren’t I cool’ type way, Th’ Mole is the real deal. But have no fear, you don’t have to rock superhero style spandex outfits or make phat crunked out (and slightly tripped out) music to be cool ‘it’s really not hard there isn’t a trick’. To help you out, Th’ Mole has put together this handy 10 Point program.

10 Ways To Be Cool

1. When you're shopping don't just leave your groceries on the checkout counter while you shop. There are other people in the world besides yourself.

2. When driving, try to stay out of the fast/passing lanes unless you need to be there. You have the ability to reduce a lot of traffic, simply by letting faster cars pass you. When passing do it quickly and then get into a slower lane as soon as possible. (Even if you're at or above the speed limit, let people pass you if they want - you're not the freaking boss of the road!)

3. Tell your parental figures all of the things that you've ever been afraid to tell them, or as many of them as you can stand. Because it will help both you and them to grow.

4. Exercise every day. It keeps you healthy and makes you strong! Also, it will make you feel happier, and then you will be nicer!

5. Don't try to talk to someone while they're performing on-stage. Even if they're just staring at a computer, your intrusion may disrupt their performance. Also, just because someone is rapping on-stage, it doesn't mean that it's an open mic or a battle, so if you aren't scheduled to perform, don't try to.

6. Let your friends, relatives, co-workers, employees, employers, etc. know that you appreciate and/or respect them, whether it is with words, eye contact, hugs, or otherwise.

7. Babies are great, but if you decide to have one then you also have a responsibility. When you're in a restaurant or theatre or something, and that thing starts crying, take it outside. You should have known what you were getting into when you made it.

8. Also about babies, change your child's diaper as soon as it needs it. Don't try to pretend that you don't notice the poop smell, especially when you're in a public place. It's gross and inconsiderate. The same goes for letting your snot-nosed kids run around in public dripping snot all over stuff. We don't want your kid's disease.

9. One final parental note: don't yell at your kids in public. I don't think you should yell at them at home either, but unfortunately that's not my jurisdiction. But when your verbal abuse becomes a public nuisance then you definitely should shut up.

10. Say no to drugs!

Simple really, of course you could just download these remixes of How 2 B Cool by the kind of producers who make Fonzy look like Gordon Brown's brief case:

Ladyscraper who takes a break from his Gabbafied Breakcore excursions to drop a Breaky Dubstep-esque version; and Robot Koch (Jahcoozi / The Tape) who adds a slightly wobblesome bass in an Acid Crunk style - both of which give just the slightest hint of menace to Th’ Mole’s simple message of ‘don’t be mean and never tell lies’, kinda like, be cool, or else!

There’s also a remix from Th’ Mole himself who takes the chill factor down to around Blue Rasberry Slush Puppie plus Album Version Acapella & Instrumental. Don’t forget you can still pick up the original on Th’ Mole’s wonderfully colourful Greatest Hits (Ha Ha Ha) Vol. 1 album out now on Daly City Records.

Bonus Downloads

Couple of bonuses here too. A special track from Th' Mole as he wanders the plains of Europe in search of some parties to rock.

Next up is a fantastic version of the Cher / Nancy Sinatra classic Bang Bang from Blondtron out of Canada, who have taken the instrumental from of our DJ 0.000001 Fre-Release as their base. A practice we wholly support, especially when done as well as this so get working on your own versions of How 2 B Cool people!

Raffertie & Toast



Well I left a few goodies for you as I’m off to Bestival for the weekend but I can’t leave without a little something for the Dubstep fiends. Last week I mentioned the Philly DJ called Starkey, well if anyone tuned into his show on Sub FM a couple of days ago they would have heard a sick (‘and getting sicker by the day’) new tune by Raffertie called Wobble Horror which comes like a hardcore rave on the Starship Enterprise and is one of my favourite dubz of the year so far. It will be out soon as part of the Antisocial EP on Slit Jockey so make sure you keep your ears to the ground for that one.

To catch a listen now you can head over to Raffertie’s Myspace or check the Starkey show from the beginning of the week here.



First I heard of Raffertie was the Toast remix of his track ‘Antisocial’ which starts like it should be a garage tune than drops off the Richter scale with a sound that isn’t too far removed from an emcee battle between mutant space frogs…what you’ve not heard that? Well it’s down below so you can see what I mean. Also included another Toast track which is a more paced out and thoughtful affair.
