Vintage Solid Steel: J. Rocc - Syndromes 2
Not much time to spare this time round, but don’t think this entry from the Vintage Steel treasure chest is any less special because of it. Don’t take our word - just peep that deliciously funky tracklist! J. Rocc has been doing his hip hop thing since the mid-eighties; starting out with PSK, he went [...]
Vintage Solid Steel: Last Stand At The BBC
Cue the atmospheric wild west music in the background as Solid Steel makes it’s last stand! The BBC in their unrelentingly infinite wisdom (note: sarcasm) never really know a good thing when they’ve got it (don’t get us started on the Radiophonic Workshop), and the eradication of Solid Steel from the BBC airwaves is a [...]

Six Vicious (AKA Sixtoo) - Ghostride The UFO
Weapons House is the online presence for A/V developments from Megasoid and Six Vicious (AKA Sixtoo).

Controller 7 - BUMPS
BUMPS is a mix which, to quote Controller 7 himself, ‘…was put together in my spare time as an attempt to keep myself entertained’. If everyone else had this kind of forward thinking approach to boredom, we’d be overrun with quality creative efforts! As such, C7 gets digging in those old skool hip hop crates [...]
