No Stink on Stinky Grooves for 3 weeks and I'm cheating you out of a post too...sometimes I even scandalize myself! However you will be in safe mains with our man Gin taking the first and last, and long time spar Dubhead the meat in a Gintastique bap. If I'd have had a mo I was hoping to stick up the excellent La Cumbia De Gary, in honour of his Numan's visit on Saturday. I had also hoped to stick up the parts of the interview that I didn't use in The Listener, maybe they'll show in the next day or two but I wouldn't go counting on it.
Plenty of Soundcloud links to follow etc in tonight's playlist and you're all smart as a whip folk.. so don't let my timelessness or lesstimeness (more accurately) and organizational tipsyness lead you off the musical path, please do follow them leads.
See you in tree.

Apologies for the somewhat downbeat delivery over the last couple of shows, nothing to do with the quality of the music or my enthusiasm for the show - circumstances beyond my control and normal service will be resumed next week…hopefully. After that I'll be out of the hot seat for 3 weeks but you'll be in capable handses.
It's been a hot Sandringham minute since we dropped much Busy Signal on the show and the blog, and you know he's the one geezer out of Jamaica who can be relied upon to come up with the goods nine times out of ten(ish). A trio of new tunes from him this week and my favourite has to be Dem Nyam Anything, an anti-oral song with a fair bit of humour and some whistling.. Need I say more ( I didn't even realize this was a Bruno M-ars(e) monstrosity, shows what i know).. Up for a week, don't know where you can buy it so enjoy and buy one of his albums or something....

Not really at 100% tonight, as happens from time to time, so no long winded, mainly pointless rambles or late night verbal violence from me.
I knows you likes a tune, so there's one below from one of the many Mexican cats who are doing it proper Den5hion. Check his soundcloud, go on a journey..see you next week or at the Minx on Thursday for Aromatherapy.

Scratch 22 'Cold Hands' video debut tomorrow night

Not only are them youthful sprites Homebrew showing off their fancy schmancy Chris Graham directed video tomorrow night (see flyer below) at the Hollywood in Avondale, with Scratch 22 getting his VJ on (thats video jockey not a shorted name for ladies parts) but he will also be premiering the video for 'Cold Hands' made by resident Mr 22 artwork don, Bob Van Der Wal. It's a sight to see, and the whole evening sounds like a right hoot, sadly I'll be fulfilling my duties at the Ginger Minx so no show from this quarter but may I strongly suggest attendance for a proper eye full of the good stuff...... How you get tickets seems a bit enigmatic but call it an intelligence test and get your blag on, or head down the KA for a touch of the R Kelly's (an after party that is (no cupboards) (no golden showers)).... bracket overload, over and out.

Hokay tonight's show was a special livication to two of Auckland's original and unique ladies who have passed in the last wee while, so Barbie and K R'd Margaret...I salute you, we certainly shall not see their like again and I think the world is a less colourful place for that.

Plenty of music that blew me away tonight, but the highlight undoubtedly was finally dropping a tune from the Vietnam War album which has run things on our stereo with all the subtlety of a despotic dictator, since greasy paws met with it a month or two ago. I won't go on too much.... but this album is going to fry some circuits and blow some minds, it's unspeakably good and will be out on RTM July 4th. It's also just a portion, a particularly plump one it has to be said, but just a portion of what is coming up on Round Trip Mars - notice is served and smart folk will be scurrying along to a record shop to buy a Scratch 22 album just to get in our good books (and to give themselves an earful of the very finest too!)

Once again I ramble so let me shut up and fling out this weeks little tip-lette. Queen Ifrica is invariably on point and this latest on the Pursue rhythm from Creative Noize is no exception.... get to it.

POT STILL HAFFI BUBBLE - QUEEN IFRICA

and as you may have heard several times tonight, this Friday there's shenagians and capers galore at Tabac when I will have the honour of spinning alongside Coco Solid and Extravagangsta, two of my favouritest non-RTM acts in the whole goldurned shire, should be a corker, check the flyer below only $5/$10 on the door in the words of Son Of Bazerk, what could be better bitch?!

if that doesn't mow your lawn and tune up your engine sufficiently (then I suggest a trip to the doctor) or simply aint your bag-ette then why not check out the Vietnam War and Heart Attack Alley for free at Lucha Lounge... details below and btw you're sooooo spoilt!

Apologies for last week's playlist going up the best part of a day late, pure oversight I'm afraid. I primped and preened the playlist to a pertinent point, and as is invariably the case when I flt it was done I pretty much immediately stuck the headphones on and got to making yet another foolish theraputic stinking tune.. it's what I do. Unfortunately I did everything but press 'publish' and didnt discover that till the next day when I bucked up on the tab underneath several layers of digital detritus on my desktop.. oops!

Bristol's Julio Bashmore has been popping out some fine tunes for a West Country minute, and I'm quite surprised that he hasn't popped up on Stinky Grooves more -though that's probably due to the overall doofiness of most of his gear. It's an intelligent doof (or an oracle-like oonst if you prefer) and with track titles like 'Um Bongo's Revenge' (surely a reference to the dodgily marketed, gruesome British fizzy drink of the 70's) and 'Grand National' - the man also has room for a bit of wit in his shit.
Love this tune (as my better half points out.. this tune has a sizable whiff of classic Pal Joey to it, no complaints round chez stink about that!), equally (almost) love 'Ribble To Amazon' from the same EP, so we're talking keeper type material. This'uns a digital extra so don't be content with the paltry 192 I'm offering up for your perusal for one week only...buy the bloodclaat things here ....go onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

There was a time, just a few years ago when a Stinky Grooves show could barely be considered complete without at least one ludicrously elongated and highly percussive Quiet Village mix of something or other. Then that activity slowed down as they headed towards their Silent Movie album, which seemed like the utter business when it came out, but somehow hasn't proven itself so well in the long run. Still good and all, captures a moment, but not a shade on their distinctive and downright deadly remix style.
So this little gem on Uruguay's invariably on point Interational Feel is welcome relief. It's QV back at their luxurious best, soaking in an extended hot bath of bubbling effects, sub aqua rhythms and a natural ring of subtle sonic dirt. You know the M.O., up for a week lo-fi but you' be doing us all a favour if you just visited Juno and sprung for a copy, like I did, by following this link....

Ah the worlds collide, what a wonderful thing that is. Cordel 'Skatta' Burrell knows a bit of that having made his name with the still sizzling 'Coolie Dance' rhythm back in 2004, his combo of yard bashment pressure and sub-continent strains broke out from JA to the upper echelons of the hip hop world, and beyond. His new'un 'Bar Mitzvah' is pretty self-explanatory - getting hefty on the hava nagilas and matching the sidelock with the dreadlock. It's a ripper and I reckon that's reflected in the vocal cuts, which are a cut above the current standard Kingston fare.
It might possibly be a bit too fruity to blow up like 'Coolie Dance', but then again that may well be the making of it. My full support is guaranteed, like last year's The Caribbean Girl' rhythm from Bambino & Juss Buss it's a welcome reminder about how much fun dancehall can be, and how dull the regulation JA gear really is right now.
Out of the first round of artists there's worthwhile cuts from Chino, Lukie D and Elephant Man as well as this scorcher from the Warlord…. Bounty Killer. Enjoy.....

Well ahoy, a touch ragged around the edges this evening but... hey who's counting? As ever a veritably shameful surplus of excess essential tunage, going down so many avenues that stopping the show turning into one huge genre battle required some restraint... you gets that, but not much.

Sitting in the stench seat this week is the unlikely named Franz Job who isn't yet another product of Germany's reggae industry, but actually a dynamite force from TnT (or Trini & Tobago if you prefer, Tobago to be exact). He has picked up the nickname 'The Eclectic Country Boy' which I particularly like as it so 'un-current dancehall', and has been mentored by the great Gladdy Wax, a chief amongst men. So good credentials,a cracking moniker and ...what a tune!!!

This is by far the pick of the bunch for me on the Gorilla riddim from Curtis Lynch Jnr's Necessary Mayhem camp. There's also some alright puff-proclaiming tackle from the usual suspects, and a tune where Tarrus Riley just seems to give up in order to unleash his inner 'la la's' (phwert) but nothing comes close to Franz's, cut which recalls a touch of Courtney Melody and the like, and a time when dancehall was well ..just less aggro.
Enjoy the tune in it's lo-fi, up for a week fashion, and then please do head off to the Necessary Mayhem webstore and do the right thing by buying a copy...please.
Roighto......

Truth be told a willfully and negligently under-prepared Stinky Grooves tonight, however as of last night t'was all looking on schedule. Today was the best kind of write-off from a SG p.o.v., with pressing stuff that should bear fine fruits later in the year... more on that in time.
Talking of more, there were more sneaky treats from Scratch 22's 'Distance From View' tonight, there's a certain part of a Round Trip Mars record that doesn't come alive until it's been run through the b studio a few weeks in advance of release (release you say? Yes April 18th 'Distanc e From View' it's a screaming sorcher) and tonight's cuts were sounding ridonkulous. Plenty more besides - the new Tapes is a Dolby free analogue blinder, Curtis Lynch Jnr's Gorilla rhythm is deadly on the heavy grip tip, the nerdulatory dream team of Burial, Four Tet and Thom Yorke really do deliver on that new 12"... I could go on... I usually do.
However this week I'd like to draw your attention to a beat you can buy that will help make someone's world a better place. Chuck Wild from the excellent Mixtape Riot blog decided to do something about the insane fuckery that is going down in Japan and whipped up a track (with liberal lashings of koto) to sell, donating all proceeds to the Red Cross work in Japan. I'm decidedly down with that plan and had no qualms about flinging some sponds his way for the track (which is tight anyways)... and I'd humbly ask you to please do the same.
Please follow the link and let your dolleros stink (in a good constructive way)....
