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?

ABU! Disco Scratch Takeover Show - September 2011
.....And here it is. September's (show #12) 2-hour bonanza of beautiful, bountiful, body-rocking, booming beats as heard last night on Disco Scratch Radio
The chatroom was pure filth ('W*nk Wipes'!) as per normal and LG's eternal 'Are You Being Served' quotes went above and beyond the call of duty!

Great show Ben. Obviously questions need to be asked about the Miker G and DJ Sven 12" but we'll save that for another time. Always nice to hear a bit of Kraftwerk, Man Machine is a great track (and album) sounds incredibly fresh for a track that's 33 years old! Really enjoyed the Jean Grae track, it's not every MC that gives a nod to Federico Fellini! Great choices from Rakim, Slick Rick & Spyder D, loved the adverts too, particularly the BBC 1 monday night line-up. I rediscovered the Monkey theme a couple of years ago, delighted to find how frickin' funky is was, love those chord changes! Look forward to the halloween show, might I suggest a few tracks, how about Looking For The Perfect Beast? B-Boys BeWerewolf? Or maybe Just Give The DJ A Stake? No? Ghost To Ghost? Hello? Is this mic working?
Thanks Mark. I seem to have lost transmission during the last part of your message and didn't catch the end....probably a good thing for all, eh...;-)
Seriously though, nice titles, if only.
The inclusion of Whimsical Touch was a strange one, I'll give you that. In my defence I'll say that I happened to be listening to it not so long ago after a break of many, many years and it was probably the nostalgic element more than anything that made me think it was worthy. I also thought there was a slight resemblance to Yello ('Oh Yeah' in particular).
Erm...Why am I holding this spade?
The BBC rundown was magic and I'll have a look out for more of those. The clip they played of Are You Being Served was done in an innocent tongue-in-cheek way I'll bet although nowadays that's be the first thing tv producers would search for.
However I did almost lose my lunch when I heard mention of Mrs Slocombe's 'pussy' ;-)
And Monkey? I've overlooked that tune for so long. It fares much better than the tv series which I've seen since I was a kid. Another one of those 'leave it in the past' memories, sadly.
