Little mystery.

Every now and then stacks of random books, dvd's and cd's show up in my living room by the quasi fireplace. Half of the time we don't know who puts them there, no-one's claimed them. 

London's biggest bass promotors united under one roof for the first time...

Finally! 6 promoters gather and go head-to-head under one roof to make history as they present their respective sounds with a collection of the biggest selectors playing the baddest beats in town with a truly legendary line up!

Back in playpen of mayhem.

Ready for summery goodness.

This weekend made me feel exactly like this. :)

BNZLDN's 26th Birthday + 1 year in Brixton + DMZ 5th Birthday Bash = 6 hours non stop dub celebration.

Oh my days, I couldn't have asked for a more banging place to celebrate my birthday!! We went to DMZ @ Mass, which is literally around the corner from my house. The lineup was insanely filthy: Digital Mystikz, Loefah, Benga, Skream, Hatcha, N-Type, Pinch, Chef, Joe Nice, Instramental, Oneman, Joy Orbison, Oris Jay, Zed Bias and then some Brrrrrrraaaap! Thanks to my uber couragous German friends Vanessa and Peggy we were able to jump the 1.5 hour que. (We nearly shat our pants though, feeling 400 cross pairs of eyes burning in your back is not for the faint hearted haha.) Inside and outside the vibe was nothing less than onelove, the crowd was a mad likeminded beast, I hugged more strangers than I can remember. My good friend and fellow basshead Clyde got on the plane to celebrate and had his DMZ cherry popped this night. We shook hands with Mala and Hatcha and witnessed Coki rinse his newest exclusive tunes so I don't think this night could've been any more perfect for him either. We met an Utrechter in the smoking area with whom we spent 30 minutes talking about how amazing the party was and when we came home we spent about 1.5 hour going over the fact how fucking brilliant the night was. Handsdown best dubstep gig I've been to. Thanks Clyde, QueenV, HustlerP and everyone else who was there, thanks DMZ and thanks London, you all made for the BEST BIRTHDAY EVERRRR! (so far ;) x

The Doctor's Orders presents On The Real @ Plan Brixton

A bit late I know. But I've been busy, my laptop crashed and the end of the term is near, joy!

 

  

  

  

  

  

 

  

  

 

Music and things.

These tunes remind me of springtime and all the goodness it brings and they have been on mad repeat. As in I've been listening to these so many times it's just not sane anymore... Well fuck sane, I'm beyond ready for some frisky spring airiness, butterflies are popping tiny pills in my stomach just by listening to these tunes.   

I also rocked down to The Doctors Orders @ Plan B last friday to get my 90's OG hiphop on, I cannot even tell you how that night left me all giddy and wanting for more. Thanks Rod! More photos to come.

And I'm also very much looking forward to this. Braaaaap!

God Bless America, Margot for President

Happy birthday sweetheart! x

Oldskool hiphop @ Plan B - London, a new day, messing about with light, dubstep @ Pardiso - Amsterdam

Unfortunately summer's almost over but good vibes are all around still. Here's to old and new friends, family, weird strangers, good times, inspiration, hooking my moms up with her first iPod loaded with 55 years worth of music, getting things done, charging batteries and having my pills popped. 1love

First LDN anniversary.

This weekend I celebrate my first year of living in London (and successfully making the deadline of the JCE magazine plus an unexpected tax return)! Education, independance, jobs that don't involve endless hours of nothingness and naive prospects, new insights, lots of laughter, input rewarded and no more being taken for granted. For all this I also have my friends and family to thank for, here and abroad, so thanks for your support and advice :) It's been an intense but blessed year and how else to mark the occasion than in London style. So yesterday, in spirit of reviving the passions and loving and doing as I please to the max I put on a 2004 drum&slag outfit for old time's sake and went to the Playaz Carnival Special with mutual eager mate. Amongst others Ed Rush, DJ Hype, Andy C, Grooverider, Fabio, Marcus Intalex, D-Bridge, Spectresoul, Stamina MC, Noisia, Fierce, Calyx and Prolyx were there to grace us with their presence. In spite of being too drunk, being groped by overconfident strangers too many times and getting too lost on several occasions I tried to capture the night as best as I could. It's possibly the most random and insignificant series I ever did haha. The night ended somewhere in the morning in the park by the Thames where we were joined by our new saviour with whom we had the most verifying conversation on fruit and safety in London. Good times. Next up is 2 days of Notting Hill Carnival with hopefully better photographs to follow. London I heart you. Yours truly x
