CARNIVAL FEVER MIX: DOWNLOAD AND CATCH A VIBE

It's Notting Hill Carnival weekend in London, and for everyone catching the fever all over again, here's a revival mix to put you right in the zone where you need to be.

We start off in reggae territory, before moving into some speaker-mashing jungle basslines, then moving on to some feel-good soca party vibes that sound even better with a Red Stripe in one hand and a corn cob in the other. Finally, slowing things down is a steaming Lover's Rock sequence. If this was a blues party there'd be palms banging on the wall and a good bit of whinin' an' grinding going on. Check out the two sublime Judy Boucher tracks at the end.

Real music for people who feel music. Straight talk. Download here and enjoy.

CLASSIC WESTWOOD 1995 RADIO 1 SHOWS FOR DOWNLOAD

Back in the day Westwood's Radio 1 Saturday show was VERY different to how it sounds now. In the mid-90s, it was home to some of the coolest, most slamming hip hop and street soul known to man.

For me, 1995 was a true golden year of the treasured era. For anyone else who recalls it with fondness - or for anyone curious to know how it used to go down - here's a bunch of early Westwood Radio 1 gems to download and reminisce to.

First off, a classic show from Feb '95, packed with the flava:

Here's the Radio 1 Rap Show's year-end review of 1995. Three hours of the very hottest joints from that incredible year:

Here's the original airing of that much-repeated show when Biggie, Puff Daddy, Craig Mack and the rest of the Bad Boy clique took over the show:

Westwood's appearances at Carnival were legendary. Here's a couple of recordings from that big rig under the Westway. You can just smell the smoke from those open grills. The '95 session's guests included The Lost Boyz. In '96, it was Jeru Tha Damaja:

MANTRONIX: WHO IS IT?

One of the biggest questions in hip hop, (well, in my mind at least) is whatever happened to MC Tee, the voice of the golden electro years of Mantronix. Kurtis Mantronik himself, of course, has gone on to dabble as a remixer and producer in various genres, notably electro house.

The pair reportedly met when Kurtis was working in a Manhattan record store, and Tee was one of his regular customers. They made a demo, 'Fresh Is The Word', and got a deal with Sleeping Bag Records. A slew of slamming electro bangers ensued, including 'Bassline', 'Ladies' and 'Needle To The Groove', (which would hav to be called 'Laser To The MPEG file' if it were remade today',) before the pair parted ways.

There were very few official Mantronix videos. This one is a performance on Channel 4's The Tube of 1986's 'Who Is It', as good an example as any of the classic Mantronix sound.

GRAND CENTRAL: CALL ME ANY TIME YOU LIKE

Homegrown hip hop at its very finest. K.I.N.E.T.I.C and Mr. Drastick are London's Grand Central, and combine incisive, hard-hittin lyrics with solid, head-nod beats. Nice video, too.

RAS KASS: NATURE OF THE THREAT

Anyone up for having their mind blown? Good. Here's the 7-minute audio experience to do it.

From the off, Ras Kass was one of the scene's most controversial rappers. As part of the supergroup The HRSMN, he shared mic duties with fellow heavy guys Canibus, Killah Priest and Kurupt. As a solist, his debut single 'Remain Anonymous' instantly hitting the hall of fame for quotable lyrics.

No-one was quite ready for 'Nature Of The Threat', a truly spellbinding journey through human history and the comings and goings of civilisations, all delivered from a deeply Afrocentric (or 'pro-black') standpoint. There are some bold claims here, many of which were refuted at the time. And with so many deep subjects on display, few would ever have the time to research the validity of what Ras is saying. Either way, it's an extraordinary and unique record.

'Let freedom reign with a buckshot, but not just yet.'

CHANNEL LIVE FEAT. KRS ONE: MAD IZM

Never has a lyrical account of a day spent in pursuit of da 'erb been put so epicly. The duo that was Channel Live was discovered by KRS One, and hooked up with their mentor for this absolute head-banging classic. It served as the lead track for their first album, 'Station Identification'. The subsequent two are barely remembered.

This joint is notable for some wickedly entertaining lyrics from KRS, including 'Like Lionel Richie, your whole style is bitchy'. Who else would dare to make 'Don't let me rip out my clothes like Bill Bixby' rhyme with 'Gripping the microphone until I'm motherfucking sixty'. Fantastic!
