UK hip hop group Foreign Beggars played a storming set at our idioteque night last year in York (the next idioteque is on 27th February and is headed by Trouble Vision and Smack & Tickle resident DJ Park Ranger (if you want any early-bird tickets please email me: pelskilad@gmail.com)).
‘Hit That Gash’ is making a splash in the UK hip hop scene. Lyrically, it’s a little immature (or perhaps adolescent is a better word) but the rap-rhyming is certainly tasty. The lyrics don’t say much more than: I wanna hit that gash. I wanna have sex, lots of sex, even pay for sex. Yey, sex…! And iterated over and over. Chin-stroking hip-hop this isn’t. But it’s undeniably fun, and it’s the accompanying remixes that really impress. Buy the original here.
DJ Prime Cuts, winner of two consecutive ITF World Scratching titles, is one third of Scratch Perverts the inventive DJ hip hop collective. Prime Cuts brings a frantic, dubstep remix: an onslaught of rib-crushing warbling, metalic bass and clanging percussive beats. Raucous, hyperactive… huge on the dancefloor:

Totally Enourmous Extinct Dinosaurs serves up a bouncy, pulsing electro remix, retaining much of the original vocals:
