If your over 16 and need a place to party this Saturday (November 1st) and you live near Woking then head down to Dance Nation, special guests on the night include N-Dubz, Hyperactive MC, Jodie Steele and... oh yeah... me!

The Return of Q-Tip


I'm in the studio right now working on my latest mixtape, Volume 4 of the 'This Is How We Do' series but i had to take time out to listen to this baby which i've got my hands on - 'The Renaissance' the new album from Q-Tip. Old school meets New school, damn this album is insane, i can't stop bopping my head.

Its officially out on November 4th and its worth the wait!! It's exactly what i was expecting from him, he takes it back to his old roots.

He has just finished filming the video for the next single 'Move' my favourite track on the album.

Appearances include J Dilla, Norah Jones, D'Angelo, Raphael Saadiq and Amanda Diva.

November 4th - go cop it!

BONUS: The Frequency Presents 8 Minutes With Q-Tip

T.I Ft. Rihanna - Live Your Life [Video]

This track has been getting a hell of alot of daytime spins and spins by the specialists on the radio, i think i played it twice on my Podcasts and that was about a month ago. Fair to say i haven't been feeling this track as much as other people, no doubt about it though its a great radio track and also a good one to drop in the clubs for the ladies!

Heres the video, Ri looking finnnneeeee!

Young DJ of The Year 2008 [Pictures]


Just got sent a few very unattractive pictures (of me) through to my inbox from the award night last week... might as well post em!


MTV were in the building casting for the UK series of 'Super Sweet 16' funnily enough i bumped into the woman on the right again just last night as i was down at a Super Sweet 16 which they were filming, it was the most fake thing i have ever seen & extreamly scripted!


Award winning break dancers were in the place! They killed it!


Me getting introduced... my nerves all over the shot!


Eyes closed - always a good look!


Getting into it!

Big ups once again to 'The Eleven' for holding such a great night!

Common - Universal Mind Control [Album Cover/ Tracklisting]

I cannot wait for this to drop!

December 4th is the release date.

Photobucket

Heres how the tracklisting is looking:

01. Universal Mind Control
02. Punch Drunk Love (Feat. Kanye West)
03. Make My Day (Feat. Cee-Lo Green)
04. Sex 4 Sugar
05. Announcement (Feat. Pharrell Williams)
06. Gladiator
07. Changes
08. Inhale
09. What a World
10. Everywhere

Apparently the hottest track is 'Gladiator' so fingers crossed that will be a single!

So many big albums are coming out for Winter - Kanye, 50, Common, Luda...

Props to Pinboard

Estelle Ft. Sean Paul - Come Over [Video]

Estelle does it again, this is the next single from the smash album 'Shine'. The album version is dope but the single is even better, why? Because Sean Paul is on it = instant radio hit.

It's a great track no doubt and the video isn't too bad either!

Notorious [Film Trailer]

I posted up a preview a while back but heres the full thing.



Still not sure about this...

Kardinal Offical Ft. Keri Hilson - Numba 1 [Video]



Cool track! The album version features Rihanna though, i can't decide which one i like best. Keri or Rihanna?!

Props to Cable.

What A Weekend!

Sorry for the lack of post over the past 5 days... it's been abit crazy for me!
Heres the lowdown...

Friday night was all about 'Fresh' at Winkers, i was deejaying with Ultra MC, he had that smash Channel U and MTV Base track 'Perfect Girl' which he performed live along with hosting too.

Photobucket

Saturday i had other business aside from music to attend to!

Sunday i was up at 8.30am to head up to Donnington Park in Nottingham for the annual BPM event. BPM showcases all the latest in DJ technology and also has all of the biggest names down there such as Pioneer, Denon and DMC. I headed straight for the DMC stand where i watched Skully do his thing! Shouts to DJ Cable, Switch, Loop Skywalker, Rafik (who i haven't caught up with since winning the CK ONE event last November) and the legend Cutmaster Swift. It was big! Oh and you know that mixer that Semtex rocks on Dizzie's tour? The SVM 1000, i tried it out and its illllll!!

Monday night was the Young DJ of The Year competition, i was up against 2 other big under 18 DJ's. In the house was MTV, Models 1 and the cast of Hollyoaks. I was up 2nd and i killed it! I was soso nervous, i was up infront of thousands of screaming people... the last thing i wanted to do was clear the floor! So i won and got the prize of a Wii given to me by 'Kiran' from Hollyoaks... i don't actually watch it so i didn't have a clue who he was but still. The rest of the prize included contacts with London's biggest promoters... keep it locked on here for more info! So its official, i am the Young DJ of The Year 2008!

Britney Spears - "For The Record Documentary" [Preview]

New preview for the Britney Spears Documentary which will air out on MTV November 30 at 10 p.m. ET.



I seriously hate what the media has done to Britney, she makes good pop records, shes good at what she does!

Look forward to seeing the whole documentary.

T-Pain Ft. Chris Brown - Freeze [Behind The Scenes]

I played this track out on Podcast #30 this week (get it off my Myspace page if you haven't already)

Heres a lil behind the scenes footage of the video being made for 'Freeze'. T-Pains album is shaping up nicley!!!

Tuesday 14 October 2008

T-Pain Ft. Ludacris - Chopped & Screwed [Video]

Track is CRAZY, i love the doubles. Check the vid!

Monday 13 October 2008

Beyonce Videos

Beyonce is back! Yeaah!

Check out her new video for 'If I Were A Boy', this is the first of 2 singles she will be releasing off her new album 'I Am'.



My personal opinion... hmm.. it's not THAT bad, but i do like the video!

Her second single will be 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring On)' which is a typical Beyonce style of track, sounds abit like 'Get Me Bodied', more upbeat and good for the radio too! I'll be playing both tracks on upcoming Podcasts!

Heres the video for 'Single Ladies (Put a Ring On)':



'I Am' is due out on November 18th so go cop it!

What do you think?

Ultra MC @ Winkers This Friday

Remember that smash Channel U and MTV Base track 'Perfect Girl' featuring Agent X?
Well that was Ultra... and im deejaying with him this Friday, 17th October @ Winkers, Chalfont St Peter.

Should be big!

SEMTEX TV - DIZZEE RASCAL & SEMTEX: ON TOUR SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA from DJ SEMTEX on Vimeo.

DJ Swerve Interviews Joe

My man Swerve had a busy busy show this week (Tuesday nights 9-11 on KISS FM). He had Day 26 in from MTV's 'Making The Band 4' and then Mr Joe Thomas popped in for a quick chat on his new album which i won a signed copy of on the show! Props to Chis B the producer!!



Joe's album is sounding hot! Check out the track 'Man In Your Life' which uses the samples from Nas' 'Hero'.

Kanye - Love Lockdown [Video & Performance]

The video has dropped! Looking doooope!!! It premiered on Ellen, a station in the US which i have never heard of ill be honest! Anyway its a strong video and i love the concept...



Yeezy also performed it live on Ellen and killed it!!



This track has definatly grown on me at last, i think i like it.. alot!

Jazmine Sullivan - Bust Your Windows [Video]

I'll be honest, this track STILL hasn't grown on me, my man DJ Swerve has been playing it on his shows for a while. I listen to it and just think naaaahh and i really want to like it! Maybe it will just take more time, anywhere here's the video...

Nas Ft. The Game & Chris Brown - The World Go Round [Video]



This track is nice!

Monday 6 October 2008

Usher - Trading Places [Video]

Ushers album was kinda hot.. im going to admit.. i expected more but still it was nice!

The next single is 'Trading Places' the track is cool but the video is hot! I just love the piano....

Obama on Vibe




Big look!

T-Pain & Chris Brown - Freeze


Vocoder kings T-Pain and now Chris Brown jump on this nice, simple, radio friendly track - it will be massive. Lets face it, pretty much anything with Chris Brown on is always going to be a smash!

I think im getting slightly sick of hearing the vocoder being used constantly though..

Hear this track on Podcast #30.

Sway - The Signature LP


One word - BIG!

Been looking for this album for a long time and it didn't dissapoint. Its out today (Monday) but i got it sent over on Sunday morning and had it on repeat all day - i just couldn't get enough of it. My favourite tracks thus far are: Fit 4 A King, Silver & Gold (featuring Akon) and Walk Away.

So in just 2 weeks 2 massive UK artists have dropped sick albums.
Cop it please, support the UK movement.
