Sach O shouldn’t accept gigs where he’s paid in drinks. Bla Bla Bla best DJ in the world. Bla Bla Bla owner of UK Bass’ most forward thinking label and Dubstep originator. Yada Yada Yada going back to back on the world’s best radio station. Honestly, there’s only so many ways I can describe how… Continue reading »

Sach O: Jacques Greene invades London

Sach O’s all about some hardcore (yeah he likes it raw) I’m a little torn here. Against all odds, Jacques Greene manages to rescue straight-up deep House, a genre of music I’ve always identified with jet-setting human beings best not urinated on in cases of spontaneous combustion, and pushes it into a bass music framework.… Continue reading »

Sach O: Ninety Three Mixtape + Rinse

Sach O found this via Oneman’s Tumblr. I’ll be the first to admit that musicians losing it over other musicians’ technical prowess is annoying as fuck. Guitar mags, rappers discussing breath control and anything with the prefix “prog” stand as sufficient proof. But Cot-Damn, Oneman can mix. As a DJ, whenever I hear this guy… Continue reading »

Sach O: Joe Nice, Bob Marley & Sunday Morning Stella

Sach O shouldn’t mix drinks. Even I who usually abhor the sporting life, am gearing up to watch the big game as soon as I ward off last night’s hangover but at the risk of being contrarian, I’ll avoid posting anything “Black and Yellow” related here lest I incur the wrath of Zeus. Besides, did… Continue reading »

Sach O: D1, Chef & Coki in the mixes

If Sach O’s chest ain’t rattlin, it ain’t happenin. My brain is completely shattered from what will go down as one of the most epic music related weekends of my life so far. N-Type absolutely murdered Montreal with an all-vinyl set to an absolutely riotous crowd, I confirmed a couple of big DJ bookings which… Continue reading »

Sach O: Terror Danjah & Kode 9 take over Rinse

Sach O killed the Radio Star. He also has a Tumblr. Reading Jeff’s post on the wonderful (and nostalgiatastic!) Stretch and Bobbito reunion, I couldn’t help but think of my current radio listening in starkly opposite terms to the scarcity he describes. As a Rinse listener, I’m flooded with hour after hour of raw, uncut… Continue reading »

Stretch & Bobbito 20th Anniversary Show on WKCR (10/22/10

It was mildly disheartening to see the senescent B-boy panorama that accompanied the Stretch and Bob 20th reunion show. The photo captures radio days like an athletic reunion, where uniforms fit too tight and guts lose versus gravity. More ideal is a vintage image of what the Source once called The Greatest Hip Hop Show… Continue reading »

Benji B: Off the Leash

Ever since Mary Anne Hobbs abdicated her BBC Radio1 throne last month, impressionable American journalists have returned to being blissfully unaware of what goes on across the Atlantic. This is ideal for everyone. They get to breathe a massive sigh of relief at not having to feign interest in esoteric 2-hour stream-only British broadcasts. And… Continue reading »

Sach O: The Skream & Benga Show

Unceremoniously and without warning, Skream shut down his scene-defining Stella Sessions radio show on Rinse FM this week, unleashing the new and improved “Skream & Benga Show” on the world. The results are a laugh out loud riot including shoutouts to Redtube, the (non) promotion of sex and violence, accusations of philandering and Skream claiming… Continue reading »

Sach O: Ellijah & Skilliam – FACT Mix

It’s going to hit 27/80 degrees here in MTL today which surpasses the area of “unseasonable” to land in the vaunted realm of “holy fuck, that’s insane” so I’ll make this quick. If you’re in need of free musical sustenance of the mixed variety, I highly recommend Skilliam & Elijah’s recent contribution to FACT’s on… Continue reading »
