DJ Cable's Weekly Mix #52



Once again, it's time for another Weekly Mix...Well in fact, it's the last ever Weekly Mix of the series...But don't fret! I'll be back with more mixes next year....just not every week lol!

So for this week's final mix, and due to Khal's recommendation, I went in with a nice selection of D&B for your ears...Jump up, Liquid, Disco, Vocals...It's all there. Artists featured included Hazard, Brookes Brothers, Total Science, and Chase & Status. I also threw in a forgotten classic from High Contrast too....

Listen/Get: DJ Cable's Weekly Mix #52

Tracklisting:

01. Auld Lang Syne Intro....
02. DJ Hazard - Machete
03. Original Sin - D For Danger
04. Matrix & Futurebound Feat. Cat Knight - Reflection
05. Total Science - Stone Love
06. Brookes Brothers - Tear You Down
07. Agent Alvin Feat. Fiasco - Don't Look Back

09. Lenzman - String City
10. Nu: Tone Feat. Natalie Williams - System (Matrix & Futurebound Remix)
11. Brookes Brothers Vs. Futurebound - Dawn Treader
12. Chase & Status - Take Me Away

Lastly...I'd like to thank all of those who downloaded my mixes over the year, to the bloggers who posted them up, and to everyone who's joined the Facebook Group and shown support. It's definitely been a fun thing to do (although sometimes a little stressful!), but next year I'll be focusing a lot more on production and full-length mixtapes....

So....52 weeks, 52 mixes, no tracks repeated (remixes excluded) & 100,000+ downloads. Who else can step up to the challenge?

Until next time, Happy New Year and all the very best for 2009.

See you on the other side.

Mos Def - 'Life In Marvelous Times'

Cheka Kidogo

The photographer Rankin is exhibiting some really good work down on South Bank, I admit its cold but it’s a good viewing.
Produced in the Congo, he captures the true personalities of some of those living in one of the most troubled places on earth.
The images are part of Oxfam in action; limited edition prints are sold to raise money for those in the images. (I think?)

I went down the other day and thought it was amazing, its not often you get to see images of people in the Congo actually looking happy or even representing anything of which they themselves like to do, this gives a greater feeling of reality, as we are constantly bombarded with images of starving children as a shock factor to give money, I think in a way it kind of becomes the norm to view such images or footage as something distanced from our own lives so we no longer feel the need to help.

I may be chatting shit, but what do you think??

Ok so this might be a little typical of a students post but hey I am a student so I’m trapped in a world of pretentious goons pretending they don’t care when really do....and thinking they know a little about rebellion when really us English don’t have shit on the Greeks, or so it seems!

So yeah in my time I read a bit about Che Guevara and watched motor cycle diaries (I like Spanish films with English subtitling...gives me a chance to practice the art of reading)

Lifting off the Veil:The true extent of Britain's debt.


Another boring post, having said that, in my opinion this is the most significant human event taking place in the 21st Century, if you exclude the genocide consistently happening in the various parts of the world. Unless of course, I am delusional and reading all the wrong journals, blogs and broadsheets.

So, in the world I live in, we are in the midst of witnessing a 'First World' country collapsing into an extraodinary situation, which I would not necessarily call a 'recession'. If the UK was a company, I dont think it would be allowed to
trade, period, in addition the directors would be black-listed by Companies House and possible litigation by their shareholders.

Below is an excerpt from this months issue of 'The Spectator'.

THE TRUE EXTENT OF BRITIAN'S DEBT

Fraser Nelson
Wednesday, 10th December 2008

How much is Britain’s true national debt? Gordon Brown says 37% of GDP, the ONS says 43% of GDP – but this is just government debt. The reason Britain is in so much trouble is that our corporate and household debts are huge. It is the combination that makes us such a credit liability – but no one has ever put together a combination.

Until now.

Michael Saunders from CitiGroup has calculated ‘external debt’ – ie, what Britain owes the rest of the world. It is not 40% but 400% of GDP, the highest in the G7 by some margin. The next down, France, is 176%. America, flagellating itself for blowing such a debt bubble, is just 100%. Japan is about half America. The below graph shows ‘external debt’ – both in mid-2008, and five years ago.


G7 Countries - external debt/GDP ratios, 2003Q2 - 2008 Q2



Narrow it down to short-term debt, ie IOUs that have to be paid back within a year, and the picture grows even bleaker. It adds up to 300% of GDP – six times that of France whose loans are long-term. Saunders says, with some understatement, that this makes “the UK economy and financial system highly vulnerable when, as now, global banking and capital flows dries up.” Here is the picture, narrowed down to short- term debt (ie, due by next Christmas).

?uestlove's Top Tips For 2009 (Video)




Very interesting interview. ?uestlove reckons 2009 will be Jim Jones & Ron Browz' year...I mean, "Pop Champagne" is a certified banger, but c'mon, Jimmy & Browz?! I dunno man, that's a fairly far-out decision...

For me, it'll most likely be Wale or Kid Cudi. As far as major players go, I got the feeling that Em's forthcoming album will be straight crack, whilst "Blueprint 3" is shaping up to be very solid indeed...

Unless Dre finally drops "Detox", Eminem & Jay will own 2009...

Your thoughts?

P.S. I agree on Twitter being the new thing to take off....

UK fears it's own children!

Thanks to Ruby Pseudo for this one...


Next on the scaremonger's agenda?.... our own KIDS!

WTF??!!



The stats to back this worrying, besieged mentality that some of the UK adult population have, can be seen here.

Make's you wonder what's coming next?

PS: All I can say is bring back the good old-fashioned system of "licks!!" and the adults would have nothing to worry about.... 

Addict Suk Balls!

WARNING THIS MAY BE EXTREMELY BORING...BUT I NEED TO VENT!

So at the beginning of the year,its cold like it is all through out the year in this damn country...i decided to buy a coat...so i went down to best sk8 store in plymouth (Devon...not on the out skirts of london as someone once said...its about 300+miles out) anyways i saw this big ass nice n toasty addict coat...in the girls section which was surprising and it was half price from £125...bargin!

Anyways it lasted a month and then the furry bit around the hood fell off...i was pissed!! I emailed Addict...nicely...saying what had happened and they were kind enough to send me some book...i aint looked at it since it came through the post!

So yeah everythings ok with my broken coat...next i go back to my home town like a month ago to meet up with some friends in some run down club in Torquay...bouncer tells me to put my big ass jacket in the cloakroom...so i did paying my £1...
Came back just after 3am and the dumb woman gave it to some dude who said he'd lost his ticket!!! After a month of calling the manager...to try get my money back, not the £1 of course but the whole £125...might aswell try i got the labels...he finally agrees if i buy one and bring the reciept he will pay me back!

So feeling the spirit of Addict..i order another coat...its been a week...the money has been taken out of my account £70...and still i see nothing...so i call up, the dude explains...did you not get my email saying there is no more in that size!!! arrgghhh no i didnt...and why take the fonkin money out if there none in that size!!!

So yeah im thinking Addict are a little unlucky for me!!!

OR am i just really unlucky??!?!?!

Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes (Video)



"Ladies let me see you get down low!"

For my overseas readers, the "Funky House" (Note: It's actually Afro-House/Afrobeat) movement has been taking the UK by storm this past year, what with tracks by DJ NG, Ear Dis, Crazy Cousinz & DJ Mujava tearing down raves.

This new joint from K.I.G's DJ Dexter is next in line to make some serious noise. It's simple, it's catchy, and the beat's pretty solid.

Expect to see a million and one different dance tutorials plastered over Youtube. I'll stick to my diddy bop.

Busta Causing Controversy...Wave Dubai to credit crunch!

So, it seems like the credit crisis isn't crunching everyone! (see what I did there??)

Furthermore this Dilla affiliate (and there??) is sooo paid he just thought he'd 
let you..well...we bruck-pockets know how he's rolling!


I'm sure you've all heard this tune before, and even learned the dance...


But if you're on radio, beware. A little bird told me that a certain few 
regional radio DJs have already been suspended for playing said track, 
and lots of youtube comments show opinion of it is divided.

Other than the fact that half the track is actually gibberish, is it really that offensive? 

What do y'all think?

Mike and me made a beat that they all spat on..
The other day Lex hit me up and told me T Pain was on it..
I checked it out and turned out Mike sent him the beat and T Pain had re done it into his own track called 'Reborn'
which went on his latest mixtape as a prequel to the album.
I like what he did, but still love our original.

Jim Jones x MGMT "Electric Feel (Remix)"



So Jimmy's jumped on MGMT's recent hit. Whilst the Kid Cudi freestyle was pretty good, this is pretty average.

However, word is that it'll be on his new album "Pray IV Reign", which is due for release next month. I can't see how this can be credited as a remix, since he's more or less jacked the whole song....

For those who didn't check out the mix (shame on you!), I basically updated Biggie's classic joint by putting it over Ja Rule's "Clap Back", and added a few cuts here and there....

Dilla's studios...

so Dilla's little brother (Illa J) is taking some vintage Dilla 95-98 Delicious Vinyl (circa Pharcyde - Labcabincalifornia era) and doing his very best to rap over them... bless his little cotton socks.

I'm not a big fan of his flow or delivery... but the beats are obviously very, very sick. This video is interesting cos its got some footage of his studio set-up in LA.



Also, check this classic video with footage from his legendary Detroit set-up.

Could the UK be the poorest country in the world?

In light of what has been happening recently with the Global Economy, I think it's worth reflecting on this......
Watch the trailer below of the I.O.U.S.A Documentary, it boldly examines the rapidly growing national debt and its consequences for the US and its citizens. But first, as an introduction, here is Yvette Cooper (Chief Secretary to the Treasury) with Andrew Neil rightly asking about the UK household debt.

Plus some additional notes below.

This is the motherfuckin shiiiit...



Tip / Dilla / Michael Jackson style video.
What the fuck more do you want?

Kanye West "Heartless" (Unmastered)



The unmastered version finally drops....

A lot of people are saying that "808's & Heartbreak" is going to be Kanye's "Electric Circus". Personally I think the album is going to be very interesting. Admittedly, it took me a good few listens to really get into "Love Lockdown", and I think the whole album will be pretty similar too....But, I have the feeling it'll be dope.

Anyhow, for those who haven't yet heard "Heartless", it's a nice mid-tempo joint. Kanye's still doing his thing with the vocoder on the hook, which is catchy as hell. Definitely one of those sing-a-long joints for the end of the night. I think this has got potential to be the radio hit of the album.

Your thoughts?
