Hiphop was born (arguably) in 1979 with rappers such as Grandmaster Flash and the Sugarhill Gang being the pioneering artists. Wouldn’t it be great if a talented DJ could give us a rough guide on how the genre has evolved to the hiphop of today?! Hmm…Up Jump Tha Boogie!

Sorry we haven’t posted in a while folks! For our Future Banger we are celebrating the return of Ms Dynamite onto the music scene, this time teaming up with highly rated Dubstep DJ Redlight! We’ll also look back with one of Ms Dynamite’s most popular tracks when she was delving into that old skool garage, but with a summer twist! And as far as I know…we aren’t supposed to understand what she’s on about!

DJ Eazy B, hailing from North East London has provided us with videos of a couple of Funky House mixes! One of his biggest achievements to date was gaining an Exclusive Set @ BBC Radio 1Xtra with DJ Q. Eazy B was invited onto the M1X show purely for his originality in technical Mixing and Scratching ability. See for yourself, especially the scratching at the beginning of the 2009 mix! Crazy!
