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).
The last date to purchase, should there still be tickets available, will be
Friday May 31st. 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?

LOL... look around you... now why didn't I think of that?!
Bloody hell Ben, I just choked on my coffee and got it all over my keyboard with the Eddie Murphy bit.
LOL, that Jimmy Saville tune was a favourite here at work a while back... top stuff.
Eddie Murphy's Delirious has never been far from me since I first watched the video in the late 80's. Some of the material is quite dated but most is timeless stuff.
Sir,
It is with regret that I must warn you of the closure of your website. I'm afraid the content of this podcast is quite frankly disgusting.
I was quite happily listening to this rebel rousing music and applauding you for reversing profanity so as not to upset the elderly and the children amongst your listeners.
I was therefore appauled at the unedited phrase, "F*** around with this and get a mud hole stomp" uttered from a rappers' mouth.
You should feel ashamed that such vile language is included in your otherwise excellent and refreshing podcast. I cannot make my elderley father unhear this language and I will present this issue to the board of website closure.
I trust you'll filter any future broadcasts from this foul language.
Best, Mr Wattuk Hunt, Shropshire.
My father has now died from the onslaught of filth flarn, filth flarn, filth.
I hope you are happy with yourself.
It is with great regret and a heavy heart that I am privy to the knowledge that one of my fanbase has sadly carked it.
The next podcast will surely reflect a change in attitudes and I will endeavour to indeed "stomp a mud hole" in this terrible profane-ridden culture that hip hop undoubtably is.

Another top-notch show Ben. Great track selection, I think it must be scientifically impossible to get tired of hearing Boogie Down Bronx and Burn Hollywood Burn, plus that Love Unlimited track was frickin wonderful.
Liking all the dialogue snippets and drop-ins, it must take forever to piece the show together but it's certainly worth it. (spookily enough I also used a Spectrum loading noise on one of my tracks, the nerd in me has to ask - what game is it from?)
I did find one part of the show disappointing though: if you are going to use "comedy" voices to imitate your listeners, please be prepared to do your research beforehand - that idiotic cockney accent you gave me makes a mockery of the rich velvety baritione that is my actual speaking voice. Anyway, I'm sure it's all a big misunderstanding and we'll say no more about it.
PS: Is that the rubbish Lionel Richie head from the Hello video I can see on the poster for this podcast? Genius!
Ho, ho, ho.... apologies, Ramses, for the attempt at mimicking your voice in a 'Points Of View' circa 1995 stylee. Actually you should think yourself lucky as I did contemplate using Tarbash The Egyptian Magician from The Jerky Boys as my main inspiration ;0)
And yes, that IS Lionel!
Another sureshot show Benzini, well pieced together & expertley executed..!
It`s nice to listen to a RAP show with a bit of humour & light entertainment, you`re putting the `fun` back into hip hop in these `screw face` times ;o)
As per, a great selection of tunes (thanks for playing my request) that got me rockin` like it was 88` again. I feel it`s only right that when i listen to your podcasts, that i get into the moment by donning my kangol, cazals & dookey gold chain.
By the way B, i`ve just recognised my `boat` on the podcast poster, fame at last ;o)
Bring on the next installment...
*request* = T LA ROCK - LYRICAL KING (FROM THE BOOGIE DOWN BRONX) 12"
I haven't listened to it yet but is that Joey Deacon on the cover?!?!?
@vollsticks - you're on the money there, dude. It certainly is.
Our favourite mocking figure from yesteryear!
