This is from last year but what the hell ... its an abbreviated account of the Bingo au go-go party held during SOOB StraightoutofBrisbane

Bingo A Go-Go

Walked in the door around 9pm hahahah ... to see Erther play and say hello ... but the lineup had been bumped around and someone was warming up things with a few tracks ... and when I returned to the floor with a drink ... aniki was playing.

Aniki got the shits pretty early on. The decks weren\\\\\\\'t stable and there was a fair amount of skipping, so he was crashing records togther but it didn\\\\\\\'t matter, as it was in keeping with the theme of the night, loud and raw. He finshed rather early I thought by dropping a Motley Cru track (God I think it was \\\\\\\'Kick Start my Heart\\\\\\\') and cranked it to 11 while he packed up ... Some people in the lounge closed the door in disgust and things were underway, truly a fitting way for the night to start ...

New York, NY -- Polarity/1, the multi-genre artist best known for bold, honest, hard-hitting songs, is releasing a brand new instrumental record titled "Music From the Other Side." Fitting to the title, the album consists of smooth, jazzy tracks much different from louder albums like Yankin' the Food Chain.

Music From The Other Side is the soundtrack for a dance performance by Lisbon's Quorum Ballet. The Other Side's principal objective is to fuse the style and art of the dance of Lisbon and New York. The work is the collaboration of choreographers Daniel Cardoso, Jonathan Hollander and Thaddeus Davis, artistic directors of Quorum Ballet, Battery Dance Company and Wideman/Davis Dance, respectively. Dark, moody, erotic and aggressive, it explores the theme of oppression, which has always been an issue for the people on both sides of the Atlantic. The piece examines the roles of the different agents: the instigator, the oppressor, the oppressed and the observer.

Winston-Salem, NC -- Rarely does one come across anything genuinely new in music. All the many genres have been mixed together and blended so much that originality often looks as if it has fallen by the wayside. This is not the case with Osaru on his debut album, Home.

His is a unique vocal style, a one-off musical vision and an out of the ordinary personal story. Unlike many of his musical peers, Osaru has spent years honing his talents before cutting a record, and the maturity shows.

Having learnt African percussion at the age of 8, church organ at 9 and subsequently discovering the joys of the keyboard and bass guitar, Osaru went on to play music in three separate continents. His inspirations coming from the worlds of soul, jazz, R&B, hip hop, reggae and even traditional African music. Only after such an extensive musical education, and while simultaneously working as a physician in North Carolina, has Osaru decided to share his gifts with the world.

Listening to the quality and diversity of Home,

NazB, International Rap Star, Hits Out Against Gun and Knife Crime.

NazB calls for all rap artists to get together to speak out against knives and guns

The internationally renowned Rapper, NazB is coming to the UK this July to campaign for an end to knife and gun crime on the street. He believes that rappers have a unique role to play in stopping youngsters carrying knives and guns. He is appealing to fellow rap stars to support the cause.

NazB is spreading the message through his gigs at the clubs in London and through the TalentGold website.

NazB says "Rappers have had a bad press like they are supposed to think it's cool to carry weapons. Not true. We love the kids and don't want to see them getting into real trouble. We think that the kids will listen to what we say because they respect us. So I say to all you kids out there - don't carry knives or guns. If you get into trouble you will hurt others and will suffer for the rest of your life. Don't do it".

When most people think of world domination, they think of evil tyrants, tanks and years of oppression. Little do they know that such a recognised title can also be claimed within 6 minutes via two turntables, a mixer, a DJ and their brutish mixing power at the decks.

Every year the DMC World DJ Championships uncovers the nations best DJ to represent Australia and showcase their skills at the DMC World Finals. With the infamous gold plated Technics decks and mixer up for grabs and not to mention the world title, DJs across the globe are currently preparing themselves to do battle.

DMC first took turntablism from the underground battles of New York and gave DJs a purpose and something to strive for when they created the inaugural World DJ championships in 1986. Not only did the global competition help to cement Djing as a cornerstone of hip hop culture, it also helped raise the profile of the humble turntable as an instrument. In turn, due to the level of skill, flair, originality and discipline needed

Proving that age is no barrier, the debut offering from Sydney's Mind Over Matter 'Keepin' it Breezy' is an impressive introduction to a crew that are breaking the Australian hip hop mould. Combining impressive lyrical word play with out of the box production, 'Keepin' it Breezy' is an album that is set to erupt up in 2008.

Emerging from Sydney's vibrant hip hop community in 2006, Mind Over Matter quickly established themselves as artists to be reckoned with through their highly lauded mixtape 'For Our Hip Hoppers'. With the success of this release, MCs Willow and Smiles Again garnered an audience nationwide and have cemented this following through supporting international and local acts a like Masta Ace, Planet Asia, Mystro, Bliss n Eso, Hyjak n Torcha and Muph & Plutonic.

Co-produced by Phatchance (Natural Causes) and Drake MC 'Keepin' it Breezy' demonstrates a divergent hip hop talent; the album glistens with slick production as the boys unleash over 60 minute

West Australian MC Drapht . 'Jimmy Recard' is the magnetic first single from 'Brothers Grimm', the 3rd album from acclaimed West Australian MC Drapht. If a name is the first thing we inherit upon entering this world, it must surely play a critical role in the determination of who we become. In 'Jimmy Recard' Drapht reflects on what could have been had he not been christened "plain old, boring old Paul". A brilliantly catchy and tongue-in-cheek party-starter, Jimmy Recard is the story of the "king of the castle" and the "king of the bar-stool" - a man with the world at his feet. With Drapht's unique voice and funky, hypnotic flow layered over a soul-fuelled, guitar driven beat, 'Jimmy Recard' is an instant classic. While it may be true for Jimmy that "everything he touches turns to gold", the same could well be said for his doppelga

Producer-based albums are a tricky proposition; if the work behind the boards, as well as the choice of guest vocalists, are not up to par then the whole project falls apart. It is all about a delicate balance. Acclaimed Sydney-based beatmaker Chasm has clearly done his homework, as all aspects of his full length debut, Beyond The Beat Tape, are immaculate, which makes for ...

Hailing from the Bankhead section of Atlanta, Georgia (the same as T.I.), D4L member Shawty LO has become an entity all unto himself with the runaway smash Dey Know. He is now poised to take the former-drug-purveyor-turned superstar-rapper crown amongst a seemingly endless parade of gruff voiced ad-libbers.

The production palette on display is of the rousing synth-laden variety. Meanwhile, LO's clich-ridden lyrics about the 'trap' are oddly hypnotic, yet ultimately characterless ...

Hot on the heels of a hugely successful East Coast tour, The Nomad is back with a blistering new single 'Let's Play'. Taken from the 'Selected Works' album which hit the shelves at the end of 2007, 'Let's Play' further demonstrates The Nomad's immense talent and aptitude for creating and producing music that is seemingly genre limitless.

With Inpress Magazine describing his latest album as "an absolute joy to listen to", The Nomad's 'Let's Play' continues in a similar vein with a brilliant melody, dynamic baseline and insatiably catchy pop beat. The single also sees The Nomad team up with fellow New Zealanders MC Ras Stone and MC Free. With The Nomad on the scratch, the collaboration provides the song with a hip

Exploding from the fingertips and vocal chords of some of Australia's finest musicians are Good Buddha's superb singles 'Movin On' and 'Bouncin'. The 6-piece band have been skimming the cream off the top of every genre that tickles their fancy, whipping up hook-laden vocal excursions to satisfy any type of musical hunger.

Wind the clock back to 1998 and Sydney's Good Buddha were testing their rhymes and rhythms playing huge house parties for fortunate friends. Their sparkling performances and dynamic energy ensured the word would quickly spread. Appearances at festivals including Splendour in the Grass, the Woodford Folk Festival, Good Vibrations and the Big Day Out, supporting the likes of everyone from People Under the Stairs, Ugly Duckling, The Pharcyde, Grandmaster Flash, Black Eyed Peas and Lyrics Born to name a few, ensued.

Now, a decade from conception the barely contained bundle of energy that is the atomic core of the band (Matt, Andy, Al, Nui, Jack
