Hyped to hear this, when it drops. Salute to DJ Skae and everyone appearing on The A-List!

DJ Noize's scratching manual

Shout to DJ royalty Cosmo Baker for alerting me to this ill routine

A Holiday Gift

Especially for those who have not seen, did not know a clip to the above 1995 jam existed. Shout out to VHHS for quite a few videos reposted here!

Hope everyone with some days to spare are making the most of their time off. All the best for the New Year and anon to all!

(Shout out to DJ KC & DJ's United for the recording)

This is crazy. Reposted, for anyone who appreciates and or has gone through the years of practice, shutting them-selves off from the outside world and has the guts to step up to the wheels and tear it up under such pressure as that of a DJ battle final.

Cybotron sets the floor alight

Shout to our brother and extended Mothership Reconnection family DJ Dter 1 who’s currently over in PNG taking care of business.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, or don’t watch the news, you would know that there are some serious cholera outbreaks in Papua New Guinea as of late. So we emailed Dter to see how he was doing and aside from stating to me that “its gone crazy over there, we're getting heaps of press for a spectrum of issues. They put chlorine in the Eda Ranu water supply as a precaution.” He also shot through this ill (no pun intended) video of him rocking a party, as a mass of folks get down to some serious Electro.



Here's CT's "Clear" in full - Such a tough groove.
