July 2011

Here’s something fresh from our resident DJ, Alaska. Inspired by the recent influx of sunshine and encouraged by the surging popularity of early 2000’s Hip Hop and RnB, he’s crafted a mix which is just as suited to cruising round the estate in a souped up Nova as it is to straight ballin’ on the corner of your local Spar.  Featuring obscure cuts from the likes of Ludacris, Smitty and Rosco P Coldchain, there are also some classic heaters from Donnell Jones and the greatest of all time, Biggie Smalls. Bringing it up to date you can expect gleaming, future-funk from Lunice as well as a hefty chunk of head-nodding Moombahsoul from the likes of Heartbreak & Munchi.

Further to that, if you want to hear some real talk from a Westside legend then pay special attention to the first minute as he’s somehow managed to find an interview with Ice T in which he denounces Robert De Niro and Al Pacino. Real shit. Expect more from Alaska over the coming months and check out his 5min Hip Hop minimix here.
