Ghetto stories...

Get to this get to this get to this get to this get to this get to this get to this... Need I say more? (I won't cos i'm not making much sense today).

Whoa...

Thats odd, Skream doesn't make it inna the country but gig still goes off! Good shit I say. Local talent holdin' it down something wicked. Taiighht!

OH!

It's not often we get artists of this calibre down here people. Get to this and feel da bass weight!
Only $15, what?! Yes 15, not five zero. Respect to Dirtycash for getting the man here. Brapple I say.

Been a long time...

Hey ya'll, been a while since my last post so thought i'd better get back inna action. Here's some photos from the last Buss It Up. Shot to all crew who made it along and bigup Jugglin' & Luke for hella tight sets! BOH BOH BOH!
Also gotta send out blessings to Racine, Amazin & Macdosis for liftin my set with their vocal skills. Chur

GET TO DIS!

POW rumours....

This is for those that have been asking when the next POW night is. Just heard a rumour that it is in the pipe-work for late August. Hold tight and watch this space.

Who forgot the Camera?

I did, dammit all. Sorry no pics from Buss It Up this time around. Let that be no indication of what the night was like though. It was good biz as usual with some big, killer-fresh tunes being pulled by all selectors involved.
Massive thanks to Macdosis for toastin' on my set and also to Racine & Amazin' for droppin their version of Concrete Boots. Safe.
To the random MC that wanted to battle on our set, wait till the next Auckland MC Battle for Supremacy or something. We're there to make people dance, I'm fairly sure they don't come to see you tryna pick a fight. Being obnoxious ain't the way to get a gig. Nuff bout that.
Blessup Jugglin' as always for havin us along and keeping it tight.
Chur to all that made it along too, even with the Miss Africa crew holding a dance down the road there was still a good crowd. Hopefully in the future we'll be able to avoid date clashes like that again. Hint hint promoters....

Straight-Up Dancehall Biz!

Keep an eye out for the next installment of bashment action at Galatos. Rumour has it that there is a couple month hiatus then back, badda and rebranded in the basement! BOH BOH BOH!

Junior Gong

Good to see a solid turnout to Damian Marley last night. A real cross-section of culture, from the older Rasta contingent through to Punks, HipHop heads and young gals bubblin' to the faster ones.
Marley's strength was playing to the fact that he crosses between his own material and his late fathers, instantly hooking in a wider audience than most artists could possibly hope for.
While enjoying the night I would have liked to hear more from Welcome to Jamrock, it seemed like the strength of the album as a whole may have been underestimated. Although, there was a pretty solid, well thought out balance between Jr. Gongs' tracks and the classic reggae material keeping all happy.
All in all, damn fine to see this calibre of artist down here.

Badman Forward!

Back and baaad!

Buss it Up's latest monthly installment drops Friday 7th of April at Rising Sun, K'Rd.

Featuring selectors: Jason Howson, Crunk Dunk, Dubhead, Jafa Mafia and your hosts the Jugglin Crew (Gwaan Gal & FJ).

Shouts to all crew who made it up to Galatos on Saturday night! Had a fine, if slightly messy set. Damn alcohol, makes me mix lazy. Big up Ghetto for hosting the night and Jason for some big tunes. Keep a look out for Bounce in future installments, rumour has it that it's moving to a monthly timetable and venue to Galatos Basement. Bigger system, mo' bashy vibe, good good good if you ask me!
