    #146 - June 8th, 2015 [2Pac, DJ Shadow, Z-Trip, Jackson 5, Fatboy Slim]

    Back once again with the ill behavior.

    It’s freakin’ summer and there’s no better summer anthem than 2Pac praising California. DJ Shadow cuts himself up before The Papes Come, Z-Trip remixes the Jackson 5 (with subtlety and class) and we drop classic summertime RJD2. The Herbaliser brings the heat with a storming live one and the Propellerheads do their best James Bond movie score climaxing with a ripping bassline. MARRS and Dee-Lite get us shaking our booty before we have a flashback to Summer Love ’98 from Fatboy Slim.

    The lord giveth and the lord taketh away, but not hiphop yo.

Awesome music every week!

This is a good show clearly inspired by the Solid Steel tradition created by Coldcut. The selections are varied and never defined by a genre, running from hip hop to minimal techno to dub all in the course of an hour. Some of the mixes are real tight. These guys clearly love music.
