The dust hasn't even settled on The ABBU! Podcast #1 yet here we go talking 'bout show #2.
Yes, Ageing B-Boys are busy plottin', researchin', rhymin' and stealin' to bring you the best hour's worth of entertainment that money simply can't buy.
I need your requests for tracks that you'd like to hear.
Write to me and beg like your life depends on it and I might select your selection, Selectah. Then again I might fob you off with some old flannel by saying that, would you believe it, I've got everything else by that particular artist but NO, I'VE NOT GOT THAT ONE.
Obfuscation and circumvention. We kickin crazy ballistics, yo.
Do it. Dooooo it.
The ABU & Disco Scratch Summer Madness!
Well, we've both talked about it, chewed the fat and given you hints but now both myself (Repo) and Waxer can finally give you the whole damn skinny on the event of the summer.
The date is Saturday June 22nd, the event is Summer Madness where you will find yourself maxing and relaxing in the company of other like-minded members of the whole Ageing B-Boys and Disco Scratch fraternity.
You need no reminding of how exactly it is that we roll. We put on no airs or graces and refuse to take the whole hip hop mindset as seriously as we may have once done as an angry young African Medallian-wearing teenager.
Just like the evening surely will be at Summer Madness, the mood is mellow now and all we want to do is kick back and chill with a cool bottle, can or glass of our favourite tipple, chinwag and listen to some great, classic hip hop and cot-damn funky breaks.
Whilst there you will be chatting to people that previously you may have only communicated with in the Disco Scratch chatroom but now you can see what they are like in person!
Pull up a chair, discuss the finer points of nodding your head on the up or downbeat with JimCee and Bit; discover just what goes into preparing the finest cookies with LG's Biscuit Roulette; ask Mrs Waxer in person if it is actually a diploma or a degree? The sky really is the limit, folks.
We have purposefully decided NOT to call this event a jam because we are not booking any acts to perform. However due to the spontaneity of this culture we love (not live, c'mon unless you're Westwood) then if anyone feels like dropping some lyrical outpourings on the mic then, just like Aviva Insurance, we got your back.
We have plans for you all to get interactive up in here should you wish to. Two activities that are designed to keep you steppin', brother man, are Rap Karaoke and Scratch-aoke. Get on the microphone as the liquid refreshment is the key to unlock that patter you've kept locked in your dome for 20 years and unleash it over a familiar beat.
Drop that famous scratch you've practiced so many times over your favourite tune. Scratch like Eric B and win a prize!
Summer Madness will also bring to you something that Waxer and myself feel is almost unheard of, especially around hip hop circles.
This is an effort to get family together. The Disco Scratch Thursday Night Wives are cordially invited, nay, begged to attend this gathering. And not only that but if you have kids then WE WANT THE SHORTIES!
Yes, we are proud to give you a special event that will give your kids the opportunity to shine and be a part of the day. For two hours the music selection will be provided by the dj's of tomorrow. Your cherished offspring can play 4 or 5 tunes each and get a taste of what being behind the wheels of steel with a booming system is like. Don't have vinyl? We have Traktor. We got your tunes. We taking care of bidness, yo.
The sun will shine. And what else do we need to keep the funk flowing? This party needs a Hip Hop Pub Quiz, you say? Way ahead of you, tough guy. Like the J-Beez, we got it like that. Teams of 4 are needed here - however Whirlwind D is in a team of one, possibly bound and gagged to let everyone else in with a chance. Drop the knowledge and prove to your missus that all those years of reading vinyl run-out grooves have certainly not been in vain.
With the sun beating down on your baseball hat, we're sure the need for grub will be most anticipated along with your bring-your-own-beer. A BBQ with the sweetest meat this side of The Real Roxanne will be handled by a team of hip hop honeys to provide you with a mouth-watering selection of chicken, burgers, sausages and ribs.
And of course a Bouncy Castle and Water Slide for the little 'uns and a Hot Tub for the mums and dads.
The whole thing kicks off at 2pm with the booming system toned down to a chilled-level at midnight where we can carry on until the small hours.
The venue is in a large, spacious house with ample parking in a quiet lane situated in the South-East of England.
This is not only a family affair but a modest one, too. We are keeping the numbers down to 40 adults.
Tickets are £10 each and a Family Ticket is available at £30. A one adult/one child option is also available at £15.
(The above Paypal button has cut-off the information on the Single Ticket option. It should read: Single Ticket (One Adult or One Child).
Don't sleep on this.
This is a non-profit event and should any profit be made it will go straight back into the kitty to buy booze! How you like them apples?

1 - raw corp - trooper on the mic

Just 2 really dope 12s that i have & love to play on the regular, would be really cool if you could play em for me on your podcast ;-)
Yours sincerley,
AGENT FINCH aged 37 & a half.
Now then, now then, as it happens, rattle, rattle, jewellery, jewellery....interesting choices there, young Agent Finch. Let's see if Mr Repo can fix it for you.
"Howz about that then, rattle rattle, puff puff.." Love it REPO, you worked out my letter perfectly, lets hope you have those 12s i`ve mentioned?!!
Maybe you could drop some JIM`LL FIX IT audio into the next mix? Come on now, we all used to sing along to it, right? ;o)
Oh Em Gee! A bit of ole Saville in the mix? Now THAT is what I'm talkin bout!
Giving me ideas now, Mart-Ski!
And don`t forget to add a bit of WORZEL GUMMAGE into the mix, used to watch that programme religiously back in the day!
What other hip hop radio show could you hear a bit of Jimmy Saville inbetween Public Enemy & Scholly D :o)
I used to have a Worzel Gummidge 7" single when I was a kid. The times I used to play that. Over and over.....
Obviously I never had the foresight to keep it lest one day I have the idea to make a podcast. Talk about slack.
Dear Mr.136
Will you fix it for me to spend a day with the Royal navy. I love the sailor outfits they wear and all that marching about on deck. I have a lovely pair of Troop Cobra 2s that would go with a nice pair of number 8 bell bottom navy trousers.
Thank you from Steven aged 38 1/3.
PS if you get a minute if it's OK could you please play strange games and funky things & dedicate it to Corrina, then play the rap based on that break, Manslaughter by Eric & Parish Making Doners (kebabs, did you know they gave up their rapping career and have started a kebab van in Ludlow, Shropshire, famous home of 80's ZX Spectrum magazine "Crash"?. Thank you!!
Can`t beat a bit of LOVE UNLIMITED ORCHESTRA young WAXER.
And watch out for those sailors WAXER, they`re not shy in getting their 12 inches out & i don`t mean records ;0)
Mind you, you should be used to that being a POMPEY lad, oooooh sailor hahaha.
re:The ABBU! Podcast #1
Introduction comment, just stumbled - again- across your blog Repo and had to have a listen to ya podcast - im fast becoming a fan of these merely to satisfy my craving for any beats from the old days and a curiosity for what tracks make the playlist - and im not disappointed particularly as you dropped a personal favorite from Electro 10 that being Dynamic Duo featuring Shaquan - we are the knights..love that one forever, and proud to say i have the 12 too. Keep the pods commin' and i have to 2nd Mart on the Raw Corp 12..rather dope choice.
Jimmy *Seville*,sorry,Saville rocked some def dookey chains back in the day im convinced he was really nuthin' more than a cold sportin' fresh, wild, fly b-boy at heart.
Nice blog Ben.
respect
Well I don't know about biscuits, sailors or Jimmy Saville but I know what I like and what I like is SUMMER by that up-and-coming pop trio THE FANTASY THREE. Play that and I'll send you a cup of tea and a thlice of cake.
Yeah man, as requested via FB, I'd love to hear Man Parrish – Boogie Down Bronx. Jingle Jangle Jewellery Jewellery asitappens.....
Hey REPO, i think we`ve started something with this JINGLE JANGLE JEWELLERY JIMMY ;-)
ps.can i have another request?
T LA ROCK - LYRICAL KING (my favourite T LA ROCK track)...!!
How dare he not reply, sucker punk!!! Where's my Sailor? Where's my dope early 90s selection?
I can feel tears forming in my eyes at the neglect. Who's got Esther Rantzens number?
Come on REPO, answer these burning questions! Your public awaits :-)
All these requests. Hmmmm, all I can do is quote Tracy Marrow and say 'this story's through but wait 'til part two'.
