SMOV & DEDY DRED/ FUNKTHOMAS: No Diggin/ Shake Shot – Wack Records W10

SMOV & DEDY DRED: No Diggin – Wack Records W10
Christ! Wack 09 was only out five minutes ago and now here’s this summer nugget already. No Diggin is yet another refix of Black Street’s No Diggity and I gather that Lisbon producer Dedy Dred engendered this fresh mid-sixties Motown versus Bossa beat-crosser and then passed it to Newcastle-based beat-head Smov a.k.a Smoove – to play around with too.

THE BAMBOOS: You Ain’t No Good – 2010 – Single review + video

THE BAMBOOS: You Ain’t No Good – 2010 – Single review + video
RATING: 5/5
Second single off The Bamboos fourth studio LP 4, You Ain’t No Good is also the second big mod-soul stomper this month what with Kid British’s Winner out in a week or so. So who ain’t no good? Certainly not mysterious Tongan King Merc whose sterling vocals come on like Al Green meeting Paul Weller. Possibly it’s

BROTHER ALI: UK tour dates and free download ‘Don’t Look At Me, Look Around'
He’s white, he’s Muslim and he’s not Barry from Four Lions. Yup, it’s dope MC Brother Ali of last year’s freshest underground LP and he’s back on these shores later this month and early next month. Thus, if you missed him last time around (like me) now’s your chance to catch up…just don’t mention ‘rubber dinghy rapids.’.

KID BRITISH: Winner – 2010 – Single review + video

KID BRITISH: Winner – 2010 – Single review + video
Does Kid British sound like a character in some kind of the Nazi Beano-style comic to you too? There’s even skinheads in the video – albeit very embarrassed looking ones – as well they should be considering the dance they’re doing. It’s ok though, because these are obviously nutty-boy/ goodies-from-This Is England type skinheads as the band has a black singer. As for that video – it’s like a giant mod-cliché bird (which I might just have invented) flew over the set, shat out it’s insides…READ THE REST AT MONKEYBOXING.COM
