Never less than ill
Straight outta Paris, Bachir and SLurg (who used to frequent the comment section here back in the day) host a radio show every Sunday where they focus on a particular theme. For the 81st episode, they constructed a mix featuring everyone featured in the Past The Margin book, proving that Unkut.com is now Australia’s second-most…
Today marks twenty years since I first posted on unkut.com. In recent times I haven’t a great deal to write about, but just yesterday I finally got to interview the legendary Godfather Don, and as a result I’m fired-up to take Unkut into a new phase. Look-out for this interview in the coming weeks and…
Hype stickers can vary from a mini-sales pitch to spruik the album you’re looking at, a bog-standard track listing or just the name of the producer who was paid twenty grand in the 90s to remix the single. Here are some I found in the shelves this morning and deemed worthy of a snarky accolade….
After having three previous liner notes jobs canned before I even got to write a first draft, I’ve beaten the odds and finally gotten something to the pressing plant. Big Noyd’s first album is getting a re-release via Coalmine Records and Big Noyd Entertainment, complete with a new remix of ‘Recognize and Realize’ by Big…
This is a turn-up for the books – not only has Debonair P brought back the previously retired Gentleman’s Relief Record (possibly just for this final release), but he’s managed to bring along the ever-reclusive Godfather Don along for the ride! Four brand new vocal performances, served up in two flavours of each, with Debonair…
It’s on like Diddy Kong.
Don’t let the fact that Zippyshare is dead and buried mean that the mighty bootleg MP3 era of Unkut Dot Com is taking a permanent dirt nap. Thanks to the wonders of the InternetS, Google Drive Live is now hosting every one of the old compilations from the 2015-2018 era of Unkut Dot Com, along…
Update: I lost the first version of this so here’s a new comp, plus a bonus quote from AG: ‘I definitely didn’t like Showbiz featuring AG, that little tape that they put out. I don’t know what PayDay was doing at the time, but it’s all good. We gotta lotta songs like ‘Ain’t No Fun’…
This isn’t all that different from the mix we heard on the official release in 2009, but the ‘down the dial’ radio intro and amusing ad-libs on the fade-out make it the better option for all the ‘funk bitches’ out there.
So I picked-up the 2015 edition 2LP of Peoples Instinctive Travels And The Paths of Rhythm, mainly in the hope of getting a nice loud version of ‘Footprints’. This was a dummy move, as it turns out it actually sounds worse than my single vinyl version. Blame not-so-great modern re-mastering, maybe? At least I finally…
Aeon Hand, who was responsible for many classic Combat Jack Show handbills and the covers of Bol’s books, not to mention the superb illustrations in Past The Margin and the official Conservative Rap Coalition logo, released a book in September last year. Equal parts hilarious and disturbing over 140 pages, I highly recommend this to…
In other news, ‘Past The Margin: A Decade of Unkut Interviews’ is around the size of a hotel bible. Perfect for old people bus rides! Also great to make yourself seem intelligent at dive bars.
