"For a MADNICE bonus joint this month we are stoked to bring you the long awaited return of the UK's finest Hip Hop export, the pioneering DJ/Producer DJ FORMAT. Hitting the road for the launch of his latest LP 'Statement of Intent' with a brand new Live Audio Visual Show along with his analogue, experimentalist right hand man the SIMONSOUND.

Shop favourite, Chris Read has delivered where many have recently failed. I could write a load of words but I feel I need to quote the man himself about the inspiration that came for this mix from the sad news of Adam's passing.

"Predictably, the internet has been awash with MCA / Beastie Boys tribute mixes in the days that have passed since the untimely passing of Adam Yauch. I've listened to many, enjoyed a few but, as I often do, felt the need to put my own mark on it all. So, in less than 24 hours I set about putting together 'Boutique Beats', not your standard 'best of', but a collection of some of my favourites, laced with original breaks samped by the Beastie Boys (largely but not exclusively for the Paul's Boutique album), acapellas, remixes and plenty else besides."

You can also check Chris's thoughts on MCA's passing over here at his Music Of Substance blog.

Cheers Chris.

BTS Radio come correct once again with their latest mix offering from non other than Take.

"Showcasing this mix was a no brainer, Sweatson Klank had been teasing us with this podcast for over a year. This mix is a collection of often overlooked classics from one of hip-hop’s finest eras, the mid/late ‘90s. A collection of material that has vital in the development and influence on a young Sweatson Klank as a producer and DJ, and a sound that ignited a new generation of beat makers."

2 heavy hitters of hip hop right here people. This album is straight to funk with some original vinyl breaks, beats and treats for your harkening pleasure.

Chairman Mao is a fucking legend of Hip Hop as you will see if you peep this Red Bull Music Academy interview with MF Doom. He pieces together a journey through Funk and Soul like no other. If you don't know this guy then you have slept... forever.

DJ Muro is the digger's digger. We have been fans of him in the shop for an age now and everything he does is golden. If there was anybody i'd like to see on these UK shores it would be this man. More of the same for sure!

Peep the tracklist and go jump on this because as our mates over at TDU say, "enjoy and be educated"

Ok, so its the end of the month and finally you are getting some money in your pocket so where is the best place to go and spend some of your hard earned? 

Well after a brief hiatus the Madnice Marauders fam is back to fill their regular, Lock-Out first Friday of the month slot over at The Shipping Forecast. This month sees the Madnice debut of one of the most prolific Hip-Hop DJ's of our time, Mr Thing. His DMC awards, won both by himeslf and with The Scratch Perverts speak volumes of what you can expect from this BBE Records giant.

Along with him is a man i've been dying to see for a very long time. Kutmah and Thom Yorke love him and his production's have become Low End Theory bangers! 2012 is DANNY DRIVE THRU's year for sure.

Supporting these legends are two of our own very fine gentlemen, Boltz and No Fakin vinyl hogging legend, Kwinzola!

So go peep the events page on Facebook and then head over to the Madnice Blog for more info and tunes to boot.

It's sure to be filled fast just like last time so don't be disappointed and get there early.

Friday 4th May / 11pm-3am / £5.00

Too hyped for this! Anyone who knows about Detroit knows that HouseShoes is the fucking man. He is dropping his first producer's record called Let It Go on June 19 via Tres Records. It is entirely produced by the man himself with vocals from a who's who of Hip Hop including Alchemist, Roc Marciano, Guilty Simpson, Black Milk, Quelle Chris, MED, Oh No and many many more.

To wet your appetite slightly he has released "The Makings" featuring previously released joints from the likes of MED, Quelle Chris, Invincible, Boog Brown, Quelle, Roc Marciano and audio testimonials from no over than Rich Medina, Black Milk, Gaslamp Killer, Phife, Exile, and others speaking on the main man's 2 decade career. Don't sleep on this.

Everyone knows that we are into Tribe Called Quest in a big way in the shop as they are one of the most prolific and influential hip hop groups of all time, ever. With the two complimenting voices of Q-Tip and Phife and Ali Shaheed on the ones and twos smashing it, they are and were a force to be reckoned with (not forgetting Jarobi, of course). No one has came close to their status since who could say they are not influenced by this crew from Queens.

So for your listening pleasure we have delved into Diggers Union archives for this one and in true TDU fashion they have come correct with this official tribute tape.

DJ ReMike has teamed up with The Diggers Union to bring you some unreleased tracks and ReMike Exclusives and Freestyles. Peep the list then download.
