Before our regular party at the vibe bar this Saturday (Feburary 4th), you can check us out recording our monthly Droppin’ Science Show podcast LIVE from 4-6pm from Central London’s Upper Playground store, 31 Kingly Street (near Carnaby st.) – 2 hours of the freshest hip hop around, mixed & cut up by DMC/ITF Champs & Droppin’ Science residents Matman & Daredevil. Londoners feel free to pop in, or alternatively watch / listen live via www.sensei.fm.
Put Me On It teamed up with Droppin’ Science regular and beat maker extraordinaire Kidkanevil, to make their first ever little film. Nicely put together, and a bit of insight into Jazz musician Raymond Scott.
Kidk has kindly offered his beat tape for free. A 27 strong work of art sampling the work of Raymond Scott. Preview below and download the lot from Bandcamp here.
Droppin’ Science is back this June with another heavyweight line-up including extra special guest, and extended family member DJ MR THING.

Lee and Charles performed with The Menahan Street Band a month or two back at The Bloomsbury Theatre, with Mark Ronson warming the floor, spinning some great funk and soul tracks. If you missed that, make sure you DON’T miss Sharon Jones and The Dap-Kings LIVE at Koko TOMORROW NIGHT! (It says Sold Out, but word is there’s still some tickets going if you know where to look!)
Sorry, these aren’t up for download yet, but here’s the first single, ‘My Guitar Whales’ taken from Paul White’s forthcoming album ‘Paul White & The Purple Brain’. A psychedelic stripped-down banger, it mixes an Eastern-influenced organ hook, rock hard drums, fuzzy synth bass and delirious chanting to mesmerising effect.
On the flip, The Bright Future twins a naggingly catchy piano refrain with tumbling drums and the quirky touches that give White’s music so much character.
A collaboration of sorts, Paul White & The Purple Brain is based around and inspired by the work of little-known Swedish psych-rock guru S.T. Mikael. Having been granted access to Mikael’s back catalogue, Paul White found a unique source of inspiration and challenged himself to create an album using the Swedish multi-instrumentalist’s work as the sole basis for his output. The result is an endlessly inventive showcase of what’s possible when armed with just a sampler, a few studio toys and a fertile imagination and marks a significant step forward from 2009’s cult hit ‘The Strange Dreams of Paul White’.
