Secret Wars: Brum vs Southampton

Popped down to Secret Wars last night for Brum vs Southampton, ended up judging and standardly voting for Brum. Though the Brum boards were clearly so much better!

Snaps..

HQ Oxford with D.Bridge & SP:MC

Epic absolutely epic. With fuck all on in Brum on Friday and the temptation of D.Bridge & SP:MC in Oxford the road trip was too much to miss. It didn't seem to take long to get down there at all, out to Cemtex for the Dubstep ranting keeping me entertained.

We arrived @ HQ at around 10.30 and were treated to the delights of a Hip-Hop classic's set from Grande, drawing for some heavy Nas tunes. The Drum n Bass soon proceeded as Azonica stepped up to warm the plates nicely for D.Bridge, going deep and distant the set went down like a sensual backrub, deep soothing bass tune after tune. Manikular on the early doors mic duty

D.Bridge arrived with SP:MC at 12.30 and put on a performance I won't forget in a long time. I don't know what tempo he's producing at these days but he seems to be pushing the borders of Drum n Bass and Dubstep to the limits with such minimal yet powerful production and bass that can only be descibes as hair raising. After getting enough snaps I spent the rest of the set slumped in front of the bassbin in complete awe of the selection.

In summary, well worth the trip down, nice vibes in such a compact venue and the heavyweight system was on point throughout. Hold tight the two car fulls of Brummies road trippin' and the Oxford boy's for putting up with some of the lairy antics. Special shout to Azonica long time reader of BNTL.

Crowd antics..

New Slam @ McCluskys Kingston

Last night Slam City Skates teamed up with weekly club night New Slang to present a game of S.K.A.T.E. competition and club night.

From what I saw Neil Smith was going up against Elliot Rees Jones in what I think was the quater finals which definitely kept the crowd entertained round after round.

I think Neil missed out slightly letting Elliot through to the semi's against Vaughan Baker.

Sadly due to the shocking connections from Kingston back to Croydon at night I had to leave for the last train and therefore missed out on the antics. That aside I think the different approach to the weekly club night worked really well and I think it's something that will continue for a while longer.

Few flicks from the event, can't say they are anything to write home about.

Work It vs Living Proof

Last week Sunday saw two of londons most popular club nights go head to head
Living Proof vs Work It down at cargo.
Had high expectations for the night and boy were they met.
Both camps had 15mins each going back and forth to satisfy the crowds ears and feet.
Ladies were looking fiiiine, good vibes was over flowing and smiley faces everywhere.

Only bad thing of the night was the door men going on a bit bookie with the line, which might as well have stretched to Somalia it was that fucking long.
Hopefully theirs a number two at some point down the line, for the people that were just mugged off waiting in the line.

Ghetto Edit

Just grabbed this video from Farhad. Its the 'ghetto edit' of the promo for 'This Time Tomorrow', a sick skate film being released end of the summer. The boys Lucian, Eugene and Steph all feature heavily in this, filmed by Philly based artist Zach...



And this is the promo for 'This Time Tomorrow', filmed in London, Boston, New York and Philly. Lucien Clarke, Steph Morgan and Rory Millanese have had two trips out to the US filming and I'm looking forward to seeing all their hard work paid off. London skating fully repped...
