You Can't Werk
The only track on the compilation not produced by Junior Vasquez or Arthur Baker... and it was crying out for an edit.
Werk - You Can't Stop Me (from Rough House Vol. 1)
What connects turkey and pistols?
"There are people who think wrestling is an ignoble sport
Wrestling is not a sport, it is a spectacle, and it is no more ignoble to attend a wrestled performance of Suffering than a performance of the sorrows of Arnolphe or Andromaque."
Roland Barthes, The World of Wrestling (Mythologies, 1957)
Hot Chocolate - What's Good For The Goose (from Blow to my Soul! also known as Chains & Black Exhaust in some quarters)
Rock you in the face
Is this what Prodigy means by a nosebone? How would you stab someone’s brain with it? What mental valleys and rivers do you have to traverse to go from disagreement to wanting to stab a vital organ? Or is it this lack of internal orienteering that gives rise to such a precocious flow? The other possibility is that your anger bubbles over to the extent that you first implant an extra, superfluous bone in your enemy’s nose during their sleep, before using it to hurry them to their demise. That’s cold.

Solid vocals
Loads of solid vocal tracks and then Skepta, JME and Wiley* turn up! Karnage and Maximum pon deck - download it here.
There's a few tracks on ere which highlight the growing animosity between Newham Generals and Roll Deep... this clash could be e p i c - with JME and Dizzee on the sidelines, imagine those two clashing.... wow. My money'd be on JME - and I think I'd get good odds, too. Anyone fancy laying prices? Anyone wanna help me set up GrimeBet.com? Could be a nice little earner.
Anyway, Newham Generals can be caught filth-flingin here. Good clean fun.
* actually, Wiley doesn't turn up.
Less like rutting stags....
Here's a Sunday treat to ponder over while the dinner digests... may it warm the embers of your heart.

Winter drizzles into view
Perhaps you're getting deep into Autumnal agony? Planning on leaving the country? Maybe thinking about a job abroad for a few years? Can't believe it's raining? The perfect antidote to the windswept blues lies here: a big big mix from Gee over at barefiles. Runs the uk garage gamut... some great stuff at the end - Darqwan's 'Said The Spider', Artwork's 'Red', a load of Wookie remixes (incl. that Reprazent one).... check it out

Lenin had a wonderful time in Shushenskoye, Siberia.
