THE EXCITEMENTS: UK tour + win free entry to THE EXCITEMENTS @ THE JAZZ CAFE 19 March 2014

The world’s finest contemporary mid-sixties soul/ rnb-style outfit, The Excitements, hail from Barcelona, boast a supertight rhythm section to match anything on the Daptone stable and, in pint-sized Tina Turner-esque singer Koko-Jean Davis, a frontwoman to rival Sharon Jones herself. That’s no frontin’ either – check the video for recent single Ha Ha Ha below for proof. The band also have a four…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

MASTA ACE: Win signed copy of ‘MA-DOOM: Son Of Yvonne’ album (2012)

Golden era legend and former Juice Crew emcee Masta Ace is still kickin it like that with his latest project. Despite sounding like some sort of crazy Eastenders-matriarch/ supervillain hybrid MA-DOOM is actually Masta Ace’s recent project using the Special Herbs instrumentals of DOOM (the artist formerly known as MF DOOM) which forms the musical basis for his lyrical tribute to his late mother – Yvonne. In order to big up the project M.A. has just joined FB and his five thousandth follower will be the recipient of a free…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

RHYMESAYERS & CARHARTT: Mix competition (2011)

RHYMESAYERS & CARHARTT: Mix competition (2011)
Ah – the mixtape, still with us despite the lack of tape. So not actually a mix ‘tape’ then - more just a digital mix. Now vinyl’s one thing (and I, for one, applaud its refusal to die) but I’m not even going to pretend I miss tape. What a shitty old format. It stretched, it got chewed up, if you held it too close to a magnet it got wiped – yes, a mixtape was a delicate thing back in the day and once created it was surrounded by enemies. Back to the present and now all you do is connect a cable or two, hit a couple of commands on your laptop or something…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

SAVANT: ‘Make Your Move’ remix competition (2011)

SAVANT: ‘Make Your Move’ remix competition (2011)
Calling all hip-hop producers, ghetto funk old-school plunderers, mash-up jockeys and other beatsmiths – it’s competition time! Earlier this year true school emcee Savant linked with OHHLA and RapReviews to drop the fresh original Make Your Move (vid below) which was produced by Luke ‘Wagon Christ’ Vibert no less! Now the acapella is up for grabs! Use it wholesale, chop it, re-arrange and supply your own beats but whatever you do – make it bang! The winning remix (chosen by Savant) will…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM

VAST AIRE: ‘Nomad’ video + Vast Aire producer competition – 2011

VAST AIRE: ‘Nomad’ video + Vast Aire producer competition – 2011
This’ll be the video to the Nomad single that the press release included in yesterday’s post about Aire’s new album Ox 2010: A Street Odyssey lauded as ‘reminiscent of Cannibal Ox but will hit you harder.’ The same press release, incidentally, that said video wasn’t actually available with. Not to worry, the vast (sorry) underground hip-hop marketing machine rumbles onward down the internet superhighway like some gargantuan haycart, wisps of publicity blowing randomly hither and thither and today (from a different publicity source) we do have the video to Nomad…READ FULL POST @ MONKEYBOXING.COM
