JUST BUGGIN PAYS TRIBUTE TO GURU & MALCOLM McLAREN






























The number of tributes to fallen music heroes is becoming alarmingly frequent. Nevertheless, it's only right to mark the passing of legends. So tonight's Just Buggin will be entirely dedicated to the memory of two wildly different, but equally influential figures.

In the first hour, I'll be airing New York DJ Mr Cee's Throwback At Noon mix from Hot 97 celebrating the life of Guru. In the second, I'm going with DJ Premier's recent tribute mix to Malcolm McLaren aired on his Sirius Radio show. This encompasses both his punk and new wave days, as well as his dabblings in electro hip-hop with 1983's Duck Rock album.

Tune in from 10pm UK time at www.fm1079.com. Or check back for the Listen Again links from tomorrow.

MD'S DIARY BLOG, APRIL '10












































































Although I used to make the voyage two, sometimes three times a week - every week - for over two years, it had been a long while since I'd thrown myself into the 240-mile round trip to Cardiff. On Good Friday, 2nd April, I managed to coax Parveen out of clubbing retirement to join me for my gig at The 411 Club, marking the Wales launch party for Black Sheep mag. The M4 was virtually deserted, and we arrived in the city having made excellent time.

As soon as I walked over the threshold of 411, I realised it had formerly been Libertys, which was a legendary soul spot in the 90s, and was the very first club I played in Cardiff in 1997 alongside local hero Tyler and DJ/ manager Marcus. After that, it became Cardiff's Po Na Na. It's now operated by veteran DJ/ promoter Mo Moniz and a business partner, who have turned it into a classy, bling spot, with a meaningful music policy. I'd last seen Mo at Soul City in Ibiza, where he was working for the whole Summer season. This year, he told me, the responsibilities of the club are going to limit that possibility.

The vibe, crowd and decor were all excellent as I launched into a three-hour set consisting of what's best described as every shade and style of black music, without a crap kiddie pop hit in sight. It was a great night in the style of how things used to be in the late 90s/ early 00s heyday of Cardiff nightlife, and one I'll definitely look forward to getting back to. There's an assortment of pics from the night here Danced-out, Parveen rested while I took on the battering journey home, and we eventually arrived home at 6am.

With a night off on Easter Sunday, I headed into Oxford to hang out at a couple of events. First off was Blend at Kukui, where DJs Spex, Ritchie Paul and Archie Bizzle put in a nice selection of new and old school R&B. On the door, promoter Tony 'Naked' Nanton was bemoaning the fact that all his posters for the night had been ripped down by a rival promoter, which served as a useful reminder as to exactly why I no longer have any desire to promote events myself. Afterwards, I headed to The Regal for a 90s House night, featuring grizzled veterans Graeme Park, Jon Pleased Wimmin, Brandon Block and Boy George. George was playing as I arrived, (there's a video clip of his set here The night was full of bald/ grey middle-aged ravers, which actually made me feel quite youthful.

Easter Monday 7-10pm saw me slip into musical utopia on the radio as I dropped a new instalment of Urban Anthems on FM1079. Tearing through revivals, the show featured everything from quiet storm-style slow jams and bugged out hip hop, through to jungle, D&B and an extended sequence of soulful US house. Honestly, you'd have to be pretty damn fussy not to find something in the selection to your liking. The complete playlist is right here, and you can listen back to the whole show via these links:

Part 2:

Part 3:

Having visited Scotland and Wales with the Black Sheep Mag brand, the next destination for a launch party was Northern Ireland on Saturday 10th. The event was on the back of the after-party for the Open surf festival in the North Coast town of Portrush. The day before, promoter/ DJ Needle Knievel advised that, sadly, the festival had to be cancelled owing to some glorious weather causing the ordinarily choppy sea to be as still as glass. The party, however, was still going ahead.

Headlining was DJ Woody Madera from Burnley, Lancs, a skilled turntablist who's recently taken to incorporating visuals into his show by manipulating Quicktime movies via his Serato laptop set-up. We linked up for a meal at The Playhouse and traded stories from the field before the evening got underway. On stage with Woody were Portrush's own Team Fresh, kinda half DJ crew, half live band. My set was in the venue's Suckerfish Bar, where I was happy to be able to drop a far-reaching, digging-deep set without any undue interference. Afterwards, I headed into the bakehouse of a main room to catch Woody's set, which was certainly impressive. There's a brief Youtube clip of what went on here:



Needle Knievel's mum runs a B&B, which had us sorted for accommodation. Our civilised afternoon flight times allowed Woody and myself to enjoy a good breakfast before the drive back to Belfast City airport amidst more glorious sunshine.

Prior to 14th April 2010, no-one would ever have believed that a volcanic eruption in Iceland could cause unprecedented chaos to international air travel, grounding flights and costing airlines as much as £10 million a day. As we all know, however, it happened, and one of the thousands of casualties was my British Airways flight to New York, scheduled for Saturday 17th. I'd been due to do a radio mix spot with The Untouchable DJ Drastic on a college station in Brooklyn, along with a couple of hip-hop interviews. By the previous night, it became obvious that I wasn't going anywhere, and I re-booked my flights to travel in September. I consoled myself with the thought that things could have been worse, my sympathies going out to the many thousands of unfortunate travellers stranded at great cost in either the UK or elsewhere.

BLACK SHEEP MAG LINKS WITH PORTRUSH OPEN SURF FESTIVAL PARTY



















Black Sheep Mag lands in Northern Ireland on Saturday 10th April, for an event of epic proportions. We're staging our N.I regional Launch Party in conjunction with the official after-party for the Portrush Open Surf Festival, which is taking place throughout the preceding week.

Headlining the event is England's mighty DJ Woody, otherwise known as Woody Madera. He's a skilled turntablist at the best of times, mashing up hip hop bangers with talented ease. But for this show, he's also promised a jaw-dropping display of state-of-the-art visuals in conjunction with the sounds. He's joined by Northern Ireland's own key player Needle Knievel, DJ Plan B, and local crew Team Fresh.

Spinning in the Suckerfish Bar will be Black Sheep Mag's own Mark Devlin, hosting a BSM party session.

It all happens at The Playhouse, in the coastal town of Portrush, from 7pm. Tickets are priced at just £7 and are available via www.needleknievel.com

Be sure to join us if you can. It promises to be a blast.

RIP MALCOLM McLAREN

Electro hip hop pioneer Malcolm McLaren dies

Malcolm McLaren, former manager of The Sex Pistols, and a pioneer of early electro hip hop sounds from New York, has died from a rare form of cancer in Switzerland, aged 64.

McLaren came to prominence in the mid 70s, when he and partner Vivienne Westwood opened the cult clothing shop Sex in London's Chelsea. Always fashion-conscious and quick to spot trends, McLaren became a key figure in establishing the look of the burgeoning Punk movement, and set about putting together the Sex Pistols.

By the early 80s, McLaren had been living in New York City, and had become fascinated with hip hop culture - particularly street dancing and breaking - which at that point was still very much underground. He recorded the song 'Buffalo Girls', a pop-friendly take on the type of street dancing rhythms that were rocking the city. In 1983 he repeated the process with 'Double Dutch'. He also produced 'Hey DJ' by The World Famous Supreme Team.

McLaren remained a charismatic and eccentric figure throughout his career. His appearance and demeanour made him an unlikely hero to the hip hop world, but he rarely garnered anything other than respect for bringing the genre to the early attention of the mainstream.

BLACK SHEEP MAG WALES LAUNCH PARTY SET FOR 411 CLUB, CARDIFF


















It's Wales' time to party on Good Friday, as Black Sheep Magazine touches down at Cardiff's hot new urban music nightspot for its official Wales launch party. It's all happening at The 411 Club at 3-6 St. Mary Street, Cardiff, on Friday 2nd April.

411 is run by DJ and promoter Moniz, who has been active for many years on the urban/ R&B/ hip hop/ dancehall scene, and has brought his musical vision to bear on the club. Its formula, he maintains, is simply a cool, relaxed atmosphere for unpretentious people who want to dance, socialise and enjoy good music without any of the dramas - or poor-quality sounds - that tend to occur elsewhere.

Black Sheep's Mark Devlin will be spinning for the Black Sheep party alongside Moniz and the 411 residents. There'll be top-notch CD giveaways on the night, and other surprises.

The session runs from 10pm til late, with tickets at £7 in advance, or £10 on the door. Further info. at www.411cardiff.com. The club can be contacted on 02920 667996.
