Notting Hill Carnival…. If you live in or around London, you’d be mad to miss it. If you were there on the bank holiday then you might have caught this guy live. Drop the Lime hails from the Trouble and Bass crew in NY. With a seriously eclectic taste, from Sonic Youth to 50s doo wop, he spent an hour playing a mash up of Swing, rockabilly, and soul mixed in with bass thomping electro. So so good.

Foreign Beggars are a critically acclaimed British hip hop and Grime group based in London. Voted “Best Group” and winners of “Best single” at the Lyric Pad Hip hop awards 2005, the group consists of MCs Orifice Vulgatron and Metropolis, DagNabbit and DJ Nonames.

Their sound is pretty fresh and they have their finger knuckle deep on the pulse of people who want something gritty, playful and inventive.

They first appeared on the scene in 2003 with their debut LP Asylum Speakers (on their own Dented Records label). The group’s live show combines Orifice’s raps with beatboxing, turntablism, improvisation, and freestyles. They often appear with guest performers including Dr. Syntax, Skinnyman, Stig of the Dump, Foz, Skrein,Dubbledge, and noted beatboxer Shlomo.

The crew have released several 12″s and EPs and a debut LP, Asylum Speakers. Shlomo appears on Björk’s album Medulla and NoNames contributed to Damon Albarn’sGorillaz project.

Heres the video for the newest single, contact,prodcued by Noisia. Taken from the new album United Colours of Beggattron….

After the sold-out madness of last month’s party at KOKO ( Camden, London), Annie Mac Presents returns with her hand-picked line up for Saturday 14th November.

The  selection includes Swedish techno–pop maestros Miike Snow, exclusive UK show for Chicago’s fiercest lady MC Kid Sister, Glasgow’s hip hop pimpsters Young Fathers, electro-bass trail blazer Boy 8-Bit and the man with the hardest dub step mixes of the moment Doorly.

High-riding (with their ‘Animal’ single) Swedish trio Miike Snow (behind Britney’s ‘Toxic’) headline with their delicate, guitar- and piano-based pop…  to be honest though,  I’m a lot more excited to be seeing Kid Sister finally over here, plus you cant beat a bit  of  boy 8-bit bit and Doorly.

If you want to get down to this event  you can get your tickets here.
