Droppin’ Science is back to rock the Vibe Bar on Saturday June 5th.

This time we’re joined on the turntables by First Word Record’s very own Kidkanevil.

A bit about KidKanevil…
Hailing from Tokyorkshire, DJ/Producer Kidkanevil first came to prominence with the release of his critically acclaimed debut album ‘Problems & Solutions’ back in 2007, and has since gone from strength to strength.

Now three albums deep, his latest LP ‘Basho Basho’ was released earlier this year to great critical acclaim! Check it out over at: http://kidkanevil.bandcamp.com/

KidK is fresh from a stint at this year’s Red Bull Music Academy and ready to unleash a barrage of new music and collaborations on the world. His unique productions & club-quaking DJ sets show influence of hip hop, dubstep, jungle & more!

“By far one of the UK’s most original producers.” – Hip Hop Connection

“5/5″ – DJ magazine

“Something truly memorable.” – URB

“Hip-hop genius.” – ATM

“A sonic visionary.” – iDJ

“Basho Basho deserves to put kidkanevil right up there with Flying Lotus.” – Knowledge Magazine

“Thunderous…a vivid display of dexterous beat construction and cultural experimentation. An incredible amount of character bubbles at the surface of evey track.” – okayplayer

“Sparse constellations of lethally-sharpened drum sounds flying around the listener act as a single structure of seemingly impossible strength.” – Wire Magazine

As always your Droppin’ Science heavyweight residents Matman, Nickname & Daredevil will also be on-hand to tear up the dance!

I’ve had this track on repeat since I first heard it, and I’ve finally got a minute to blog it!

‘Go Girl’ is the second single from Detroit’s very own Frank Nitt, taken from his forthcoming ‘Jewels In My Backpack’ EP, featuring Problem and produced by Terrace Martin.

Available to download on iTunes right now… keep you eye out for the EP due to drop on May 25.

Loving this video too, really works with the song and compliments Frank’s unique, laid back style. If you’re not too busy checking the ladies in this video, be sure to look out for a few familiar faces in there too!

Frank says: “The Go Girl record is a fun, sexy record that is really about strong, intelligent, uplifting and beautiful women,”.

Say no more!

Photo’s from April’s Droppin’ Science… better late than never… and in case you were wondering… yeah Chris Read killed it!

This month, Droppin’ Science is joined by special guest DJ CHRIS READ.

Fresh off his international tour, Chris will be joining Matman, Nickname & Daredevil to do what he does best.

Don’t sleep on what’s now become one of East London’s livliest Hip Hop parties.

Chris Read…
SUBSTANCE resident DJ & promoter 1995 to 2007 / BBC 1 Xtra mix show dj 2002 to 2004 / Different Drummer label project co-ordinator 1999 – 2001

A collector of hip hop, funk, soul, boogie and related beats and jazz based music since the late eighties, is best known for his abilities as club DJ through his involvement in Substance (one of the UK’s longest running regular hip hop and funk nights) and his 2 year spell as mix DJ on BBC Radio 1Xtra. However, it is Chris’s broad musical taste and knowledge and ability to throw the unexpected into the mix that have sealed his reputation as a popular club DJ.

“flips from modern floor fillers to classic joints … similarly impressive as guests Cash Money, De La Soul and Kool Herc”

“truly a demon of the scratch it and see school of mixing … coming to a four deck fiesta near you”
(I.D MAGAZINE)
