Wow so much
stuff going on at the moment I don’t know where to start!
Probably the most exciting and important thing
has been the launch of my new label KLUB KIDS.
I decided to set
up Klub Kids last year after becoming more studio focused and realizing that
the best way or me to put my music out was to do it myself. The first release
on the label is my brand new mix CD KLUB KIDS 001 (and my first in two years).
Like many of my previous
releases this is a double disc affair. Disc 1 – the KLUB Disc – features many
of the tunes I’ve been playing out at clubs and festivals over the last year
plus a whole bunch of unreleased tunes. Among these unreleased tunes are a
couple of new originals soon to be released on Klub Kids the label: Too Fresh
by Two Fresh (which is already getting play on JJJ), Pump That Sh*t by Two
Fresh feat. MC Gaff E, Move That Body (a dedication to hip house), and K Theme
(feat. the Killa Queens) by yours truly (which – ironically - are my first ever
originals to be included on my own comp). The comp also features our exclusive
Two Fresh mix of Tone Locs classic Wild Thing plus brand new unreleased Foamo,
Detboi, and Destroy Disco tunes among others.
The
second disc on the release returns to my love of DUB and features the vocal
talents of the master MC Shureshock. The CD meanders through dubstep, dubby
house, dubby breaks and dubby fidget via artists such as Rusko, Dreadzone,
Pitch Black, Resin Dogs, and M.A.N.D.Y.
As
a flow on from this release will come releases on the label itself which, for
the first year or so, will focus mainly on music made by myself and Two Fresh
(my project with my brother Hugga Thugg). Among these will be Too Fresh, Move
That Body, K Theme, Pump That Sh*t, and a Two fresh EP (to be recorded in
London in July). We’ve already had remixes coming in of some of the releases
above and they are sounding amazing so lots of good beats to look fwd to this
year for shiz!
On
the Myspace player you’ll find some of these tunes plus a bunch of new remixes
from Two Fresh and myself. Of those not mentioned above make sure you check our
rather fresh Soda boys remix (inspired by a night out dancing to Buraka Som
Sistema) and my never to be released mix of Empire of The Sun which was a handy
tool for the summer season 2008 / 2009.
As
I said plenty goin on! And even more still to come! Stay tuned for Two Fresh
mixes of Nick Thayer, Killa Queens, Curry Puff Daddy, Destroy Disco vs. Tom
Piper and DJ Q45, as well as Kid Kenobi mixes of the Transients, B-Phreak and
Destroy Disco. Phew.
Anyways
I’m out - big love to you all and I hope you enjoy all the new beats! Kid Kenobi.
