Son Raw is live on the radio as you read this. Just click on the link at the bottom of this post. No time to speak: Mushpost Grime Bricks Weekly is coming on and I’ve got a 1 hour guest mix chock full of Dubstep and Grime for dat proverbial azz. Caspa, Ramadanman, Spooky, Rude […]

About two weeks ago, Mary Anne Hobbs asked me if I had any interest in being a monthly contributor on her new Music Response program on XFM London. On general principle, I opt to never use Friends analogies, but the request reminded me of the episode where Chandler is trapped in an ATM vestibule with […]

Sach O shouldn’t accept gigs where he’s paid in drinks. Bla Bla Bla best DJ in the world. Bla Bla Bla owner of UK Bass’ most forward thinking label and Dubstep originator. Yada Yada Yada going back to back on the world’s best radio station. Honestly, there’s only so many ways I can describe how […]

Sach O’s all about some hardcore (yeah he likes it raw) I’m a little torn here. Against all odds, Jacques Greene manages to rescue straight-up deep House, a genre of music I’ve always identified with jet-setting human beings best not urinated on in cases of spontaneous combustion, and pushes it into a bass music framework. […]

Sach O found this via Oneman’s Tumblr. I’ll be the first to admit that musicians losing it over other musicians’ technical prowess is annoying as fuck. Guitar mags, rappers discussing breath control and anything with the prefix “prog” stand as sufficient proof. But Cot-Damn, Oneman can mix. As a DJ, whenever I hear this guy […]

Sach O shouldn’t mix drinks. Even I who usually abhor the sporting life, am gearing up to watch the big game as soon as I ward off last night’s hangover but at the risk of being contrarian, I’ll avoid posting anything “Black and Yellow” related here lest I incur the wrath of Zeus. Besides, did […]

If Sach O’s chest ain’t rattlin, it ain’t happenin. My brain is completely shattered from what will go down as one of the most epic music related weekends of my life so far. N-Type absolutely murdered Montreal with an all-vinyl set to an absolutely riotous crowd, I confirmed a couple of big DJ bookings which […]

Sach O killed the Radio Star. He also has a Tumblr. Reading Jeff’s post on the wonderful (and nostalgiatastic!) Stretch and Bobbito reunion, I couldn’t help but think of my current radio listening in starkly opposite terms to the scarcity he describes. As a Rinse listener, I’m flooded with hour after hour of raw, uncut […]

It was mildly disheartening to see the senescent B-boy panorama that accompanied the Stretch and Bob 20th reunion show. The photo captures radio days like an athletic reunion, where uniforms fit too tight and guts lose versus gravity. More ideal is a vintage image of what the Source once called The Greatest Hip Hop Show […]

Ever since Mary Anne Hobbs abdicated her BBC Radio1 throne last month, impressionable American journalists have returned to being blissfully unaware of what goes on across the Atlantic. This is ideal for everyone. They get to breathe a massive sigh of relief at not having to feign interest in esoteric 2-hour stream-only British broadcasts. And […]
