The man like AOI continues to melt headphones & explode backpacks all over Brisbane with his critical beatdowns. This instrumental jam has been on daily rotation for me lately. Words fail me right now but don't sleep on this kid. Check his myspace at the link above for some more mp3s. Hopefully some of this shit will make it to vinyl in the near future.

AOI - RMIKA

I picked up the 7" of "SIRENS"...the first single off DIZZEE RASCAL's new LP "M4THS & 3NGL1SH" about a month ago. If you havent' heard it already, it's a big oldschool sub-bass, guitar stab & (duh) siren filled monster that gets borderline "rage against the machine" (that's not a good thing people!) at the end but manages to escape being too cheezy. I like.

And in the same month, WILEY released his follow up to "TREADING ON THIN ICE". "I've been listening to the promo of "PLAYTIME IS OVER" for a few weeks now and it's sounding real nice. WILEY's production just gets better & better and this album plays great from start to finish. Here's one of the more bangin' tracks, "GANGSTERS". I'm buying this as soon as I can get my hands on the vinyl. It's out on BIG DADA.
