David Rodigan is kind of the most awesomest dude ever

watch these videos and try tell me he's not

 in the interests of tidyness I decided not to embed the other videos, click here and here for a couple more shots of pure energy and passion.  If I'm anywhere near as awesome as this dude when I'm that age I'll be stoked, sure is some inspiration, even if you're not into reggae or dancehall.

So House right now.....

Totally feeling these songs right now, got me dancing round my room in my trackpants, hands in the air, yey!

NYC Nights - Blu Jemz edit

The Whitest Boy Alive - Golden Cage (Fred Falke remix)

and and this:

DJ Moma - Satisfy my soul (mix)

sweet soul mix, found it here (tracklisting etc)

also I have to say I am kind of enjoying this cold weather, enjoying wearing shoes and trackpants and slippers and shit.  Also for some reason this kind of weather makes me feel like going out into town, I dunno, theres just something fun about going out in a big jacket, haha, yay for jackets!

Another D-Grade mix

(spur of the moment mix makes messy room)

I made this for my brother Paul for his birthday, he likes dancehall bashment styles heaps so it has alot of that kind of stuff on it.  Not recommended for listening to if you are trying to sleep.

Paul's Bashment Birthday Mix

ps. this IS good for listening to if you wanna go to sleep :)

It's just a hobby that I picked up in the lobby

So, I was driving home from work yesterday listening to Ghostface and as per usual it got me all hyped up and I ending up looking not how a white dude in 1987 Honda Civic should look like (i.e. rapping like a crack baking gangsta).  But anyways it made me think "yeaaah Ghostface is def my favourite Wu member" and then I thought "new poll!!!!".  So if you look to your left you will see the brand spanking new poll: who is your favourite Wu-Tang Clan member? Like blauow!!

Just to make it a bit simpler, I just used the members that were around for Enter the Wu-Tang, otherwise there would end up being you 40 dudes in the poll.....

So who is it gonna be?  (click the name to watch a super awesome video selected by me)

Will it be: Prince Rakeem AKA The RZA? (yeah!!)

or: The GZA the Genius (you don't understand my words, but you must choose)

or: Ason Unique, The ODBBBBBBB (Niggas catchin headaches, what? What? You need aspirin?)

or: The Rebel INS, Inspectah Deck (backpacker rap yeah!)

or: The Chef, Raekwon (they need more videos these days with shitloads of dudes jumping around in the background)

or: Meth-Tical, The Method Man (the bus scenes pretty much kill any kind of "grimey" hip hop video these days)

or: Tony Starks, Ghostface Killah (check the hat! I might gotta take my shirt off)

or: Masta Killa

or: U-God (but really?)

um so yeah, vote that shit!

special bonus video: pretty much the only reason to watch "Coffee and Cigarettes", so good

Some D-Grade mixes

[boot scoot; hah! perfecto]

hey hey!

So I've done a few spur of the moment mixes over the last year.  At first i was only gonna post up mixes that were "well mixed" and stuff, but I thought, ehhhhh whatever!  So if you listen to these and think I'm a lame DJ that can't mix well, then you're probably right.  But if you have as much fun listening to these as I did making them, then sweet!  Just give me a big bear hug when you see me as payment.

[click the link biatch!]

Downstairs mix-up: a random as mix that I made cos I was excited about going down to the snow.  I could write up the tracklisting but, nah.  Kinda bummed I put the old greg thing at the front cos it's kinda cliched now but ahhh whatever that's prob just me being a dick, it's still funny.

Oh shit, actually thats the only one I've updated lately, hah!  Just in case you missed, heres some older ones.

Nihon-no-45's: 45's that I bought in Japan! (Enter the Dragon on 45 biatch!)

Mast Dance Practice: a dancehall mix I made aaaaggges ago.  Bashment!

The Niceness: also made aaaaaggges ago, believe it or not I actually made about $50 selling this as a cd-r! hah, yeahya hiphopnz.com forums! I've been tryng to put together a suitably "nice" tracklisting together for the Niceness 2 but I keep getting sidetracked by things like this.

um, so I'm thinking what picture should I put at the top? I'm gonna google "scoot boot" and see what comes up.

What have you been doing lately bro?

Man I feel like the last 2 months have just gone past in like 2 weeks. What with moving into a new flat, various parties, going out, going to the snow etc.

Way back in April some of us dudes decided to go on a "skate tour" which mostly considered of getting drunk in the campground taking bebo styled pictures and laughing at drunk 17 year olds and slighty gay hand holding skating. You can see all the photos here on the FriendBook.

Oh yeah also in that album are some photos of Splore, which seems aaaaaagggges ago. That was super fun times, Pharoah Monch was awesome, but in my opinion Kora KILLED it.

Oh yeah, Easter was fun too, went to Uretiti, more quasi gayness and drinking, haha, photos also on the friendlybook.

Many weekends were spent having a fun mast time at the Wembley flat, especially enjoyed was "mattropolis".

We made Kava

It was pretty gross

I DJed at Fu bar a couple of times at this party called "Rockers in Session", it was pretty fun, come along to the next one if you havent came already, check out their myspace and facebook

We had a party at my flat for the new flatmates (Me and other new comer Nat) and leaving flatmate (Danielle). It turned out real awesome with plenty of dancing and drink spillage and noise control at 2:30am. More photos than you can handle here.

And just this past weekend me a mean as crew (Stu, Sarah, Nico, Simon, Carl, Chris) went down to the mountain for the first time this season. The weather was real shit on saturday but then real nice on sunday but the snow was REAL icey, but hey it was still fun to be snowboarding again. Me and Nico got toasted on the way down, some intense games of 20 Questions were played (I'm still annoyed at Sarah's "I'm the letter O"!), MANY stinky farts and burps stunk out the cabin, funtimes were had on saturday night, good chinese at Taumaranui.

Also we developed a new form of drumming, it kinda hurts though, heh.

Also - Busta Rhymes fucking rules, still

man I heard this song and just was like !!!!!!!!!!!!! and then I saw the video and was like !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! with a super massive smile on my face

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeah Bussa Bus!
