Twisting The Frame delves into the leftfield, takes you through sounds from multiple subgenres with intrumentals and vocal tracks. It boasts and allstar cast of names that are familiar and some not so, with rising stars like Buddy Peace, WrongTom, 2tall, Remdog, sasQwax, 2econd Class Citizen and a host of other beat making contemporaries. From lo-fi to electronica tinged tracks this is a fresh and free twist of what can be collectively termed hip hop.

Smith & Mighty 'Anyone'



from Vision Factory

'Smith & Mighty, 'Anyone' This early video from The Vision Factory was for the first Smith and Mighty single,' Anyone' released on their own 3Stripe Records label in 1988. Together with The Wild Bunch's version of The Look of Love this tune helped to form the blue print for what became known as the Bristol sound. It acted as a true inspiration to many aspiring DJ/producers both in the city of Bristol and throughout the entire world.'

VAUDEVILLE GODKILL - The Incredible Torture Show



Better to Watch In High Quality.

www.myspace.com/argentofringe

shouts to Lurk music...heres some info

The Incredible Torture Show Comprises of Welsh DJ, producer and Grindhouse masher extraordinaire - Trailer Trasher who uses incidental B-movie horror music and video to produce some dope but disturbing Hip-hop beats. And two well respected LA emcees- Matt Gamin, whose effortless yet effectual flow provides a sandpaper smooth vessel for his twisted lyricals, coming off a bit like MF Doom’s evil cousin - and Roughneck Jihad from Third Sight (alongside D Styles) who has worked with the likes of Kool Keith and has a flow and style I can only describe as the Hip-hop manifestation of Superfluidity.
