YONKERS, a dope tune

Tyler The Creator is part of the OFWGKTA crew, or Odd Future, which is slightly easier to remember. This tune has my toes curling, but of course you’ve already heard it, with its million of plays on youtube alone.

Tonight the streets are ours

This Richard Hawley music vid is pretty old and it took me a while to place the tune,  Continue Reading →

Chicken funk

Any man who can inspire a stadium of people to do the Funky Chicken whilst wearing a pink jumpsuit and faux white leather booties is a genius.

The Niels Bohr of funky chickeness, one might say.

Thom Yorke auditions

Sometime or other Thom Yorke was gonna have to admit he wanted to be part of Bitchslap’s next dance competition and it seems he’s finally found time in his schedule. His audition tape to BS certainly suggests he might be a strong contender in April. Continue Reading →

Skylarking Angel

From 70′s roots-reggae, through dub, some years of obscurity, to hooking up with Massive Attack, from the opening salvo of “Blue Lines” to the most recent “Heligoland”, Andy has contributed on all ‘Massive’ albums, most notably with “Skylarking”, or maybe “Angel”, no hang on, defo “Spying Glass”, hmmm more difficult than I thought.

You and me and our mates.

I’m pretty sure someone knows someone who was featured in this. It’s about as old as it gets, but no ever said we were dropping fresh shit on you – it just makes me laugh, and hey you can already see what’s changed in the last 2 years – now we’re all hunters and being all heritage and shit.

gil scott heron & chris cunnigham

Video artist & director Chris Cunningham’s big break was being head hunted by Stanley Kubrick, which must have been the dopest ever phone call, ever, anywhere……

Cunningham has gone on to make some of the most interesting video work of our times.

Envy=fresh

We’ve been keeping tabs on ENVY ever since her ’07 Tongue Twister Promo. Set you on Fire & Normal kept the bar high, and now her latest offering ‘Nadine’ is another large step in the ‘this kid is gonna be huge’ direction. Out 15th March, check it…

Check me one time

If you don’t live in the UK but still like watching BBC stuff that isn’t the usual BBC Entertainment channel…., then Bitchslap magazine would definitely not advocate that you work out how to hide your IP address online and then log onto BBC iPlayer to watch some of the best documentaries about music you’ll find in the whole wide world.

One of the upcoming programmes of interest is a look at Reggae’s past in the BBC’s … Britannia series……. check ‘em out, or defiantly don’t, our legal team would like to add.

Any rudeboy who can rock a purple suit like this dude, deserves our respect.

innsbruck

Goodness, what a weekend. Bitchslap was invited by Burn Energy down to Innsbruck for the Air and Style – something I haven’t checked out since ’98 when fluoro was only in for the 2nd time, and switch back 5′s made the crowd go bananas.  I guess a lot has changed.
