Rahsaan's Georgetown Album Release Party from Velez Productions on Vimeo.

Here is the footage from the amazing instore by Twin Cities as part of their promo whirlwind for the release of their debut EP. It features Shea Soul, Duchy, Scribbla, Aina , D.Ablo on tracks and has a dramatic, modern soul vibe.
It was a brilliant day, first summer instore and the party at Wyld was jumping soon enough. Even CHify caught the vibe so much he dropped an impromptu freestyle.
The EP is out now on Matsuku Records in a brilliant limited edition vinyl version. Us at Brookney HQ were lucky enough to grab a copy of that.

These are the same gang who run those outrageous Boglewaltz parties. Its hard to believe that such soulful music is spawned by such hard partying monsters. But that's the magic of it I guess.

Check the performances, hit up a boglewaltz party and enjoy new music.

Twin Cities debut double A side Raincloud / Anticipation is released on Mukatsuku Records on May 10th. Raincloud features Shea Soul ('Make it Funky', MJ Cole, Phil Asher) while Duchy (Brownswood, Burntprogress) takes centre stage on Anticipation.

http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/382113-01.htm


OK so here is their official biog ---



- for Twin Cities that's a Eureka moment, not a reason to hit delete. Where others might reboot the sampler, Guynamite and Analog Jones call in the string section, add some Brazilian drummers and write a killer pop hook so it all makes sense.

Through many a late night, wide-eyed studio session they've combined forces to create a funk-drenched juggernaught of an album called 'Like That Every Time'. While putting the song at the heart of each track, Twin Cities fearlessly combine influences with a healthy disregard for hype or convention. Joining them on this roller-coaster ride are a transatlantic All-Star cast of vocalists including Shea Soul, D.ablo, Ne'a Posey and Duchy. The resulting album sounds fresh but delivers enough timeless moments to soundtrack a lifetime.

Twin Cities under other guises (Guynamite/Analog Jones/Guynamukat) have already attracted the attention of tastemakers across the globe with airplay from KCRW's Jason Bentley, Toshio Matsuura, Michael Ruetten and Radio 1's Gilles Peterson. The restless duo are busy working on numerous side projects and remixes and, alongside D.ablo, run London's notorious Boglewaltz parties.

This debut double A-side 'Raincloud/Anticipation' takes their melodramatic sound out of the basement and lets it loose on an unsuspecting world. Raincloud features Shea Soul, well known for collaborations with MJ Cole, Phil Asher and last summer's funky house smash 'Make it Funky'. On Raincloud, Twin Cities take her into classic soul territory but mix it up with their own brand of futuristic stardust. Shea delivers on the vocals with a song that's simple, sophisticated and universal all at the same time.

My partners in crime the Hold Box Flat boys come through with another banging podcast. The BPM and Dwala go back to back spinning tunes that make people wiggle and at times tunes that make people think.

I think Jeward should have taken notes from Kid n Play on how to rock a dynamic duo.

Here are some pictures from Brookney Stomp feat N.F.A. This dude really came down and ripped it up. Rolling with Son Of Kick on the pads and laptop, they made like a hip hop batman and robin and got everyone in the store bopping.

With everyone bouncing to "left,Right , Left" and chanting along, we had the Soho media types peering through the windows and trying to wander in...quite jokes. Its definitely gonna be mad in the summer with the Summertime Stomps.

Definitely check out N.F.A's myspace. More info and video coming soon.

Many thanks to all the heads who came down to support, the tipsy tipsy crew and the Wyld Pytch team.

I hear that there is a DJ battle coming up in London between Just Blaze and the ALchemist at East Village on May 6th 2010.

More Info To Follow

Wow another amazing show!!! The Astor Kings and T-SHIRT Laid it down alongside BROOKNEY STOMP Veteran THAT'S MY COLE Feat. Cole Williams. SOOOOOOOOO DOPE!!! Check the pictures below; LIVE YUME; BECOME TIMELESS

Brookney Stomp Feb 2010 - "Put em up for ---- Betty Steeles" from leks awoyinka on Vimeo.

I got this email from my Boy Shirt out in New York - who i have been steady promoting over here in London. He is one of the most creative rappers I know and he is constantly crafting his art. I respect not just his hustle, but his actual dedication to the music and his fans as well. If you dont know about Shirt, get to know, cos I am sure he will follow in the footsteps of the Drakes, Wales, and other breakthrough rappers we have seen emerge over the last year or two.

Make sure you click through all the links to get the full meaning of this dudes talent

Heres the email

For the next and final leak off the Tan-Face Children EP I wrote a song using over 120 film titles woven throughout. I asked friends and people on Twitter their favorite films, took some of my own and just went to work. I got the idea and what seemed like a huge task at first turned into a lot of fun haha. I'm most proud of how the story is still my own and tells some of my real experiences with friends. Even down to my man Dred from Brazil who runs Hot Mop Films. I used his debut short film I_NY at the end of the third verse. We're going all the way with this one. Expect a gang of cool promotion from me and the boys.

I threw this up on my twitter at 8pm Friday night and let it build off some of the Oscar Buzz over the weekend. The response so far has been crazy. So many movie-lovers, so many people that just instantly got it and feel where I was going.

The song is called 24 Frames (Movie Night) and you can listen/download the song by clicking here (or just email me back and I'll send the mp3, lyrics, and artwork right to your inbox)

Another thing I was trying to do is give people the lyrics to follow along with every single movie I actually mention. You can find the lyrics complete with links, artwork etc. clicking here.

Thanks so much for the continued support. Like I always say, but seriously as true as ever, we're only just getting started. I really just want you to enjoy what I did here and like it enough to pass it along to friends. This is not a droid sending you these emails haha. I'm personally reaching out and I'd love to hear some feedback.

The Tan-Face Children EP with Darvin Silva drops tomorrow, Tuesday March 9th. Talk to you then !

This is where to be this weekend. We gotta save Plastic People!! I cant believe they are going to shut down Plastic over some dubious rumours and there are lots of joints open in the same neighbourhood that are way more dodgy. To avoid any legal crap, I will refrain from naming and shaming, instead I will focus on a positive - Gilles Petersons Xmas Party might just be the last chance we all have to rave it up at Plastic People.

I have been going to Plastic since the weekend they opened way back when, my mate Ade in uni tapped me up and said his brother was opening a club in Old St and that I should throw some parties there. I went down to rock the spot, and have been a friend and fan of Plastic since.

So come down, show some love, some support and have a blinding night. the BPm will be repping, Gilles P will be repping.

The TBF family have dropped another one of their cult classic podcasts. Click here to get to the goodies. I happened to be passing through the studio HQ on the night of this recording so there is a little bit of CHiFy floating about in the sonic backdrop.

Whilst I was ducking and diving in NYC, I hooked up with the super talented rapper T-Shirt and we made a track together called international bounce. I will post that up at a later date.

Right now I just want to highlight the good work that my dude is doing. Keep your eyes out on this cat people, he has been in the studio with Wyclef Jean, ripped beats from Paul Cantor and rocked shows in all 5 boroughs. Shirt is an all round good fella. He showed me lots of support when I was doing the shows in New York, and to top it all off - he is the older brother of The Clown Prince's dynamic duo twins "The Astor Kings"

Heres some new shit off the 'Tan-Face Children' EP T-Shirt is dropping March 9th - this joint is called 'Monday Massacre', download here http://j.mp/cawKBv

So here is the "under-construction" Brookney Stomp Blog, expect more info from both sides of the pond, more music, more fashion and more more more

This Thursday we are with @BettySteeles
