Unstable Label Presents

 ‘Beats, Rhymes and Conflicts’ by The Wrongstar Society  

 

Release Date – June  30th 2008 

"The Wrongstars are trouble with a capital T. These boys have finally made a stand against all this bullsh*t music that’s out there at the moment and it feels good. Youcan tell they have actually lived the fights, the trouble and the carnage. If theycancarry this on without getting arrested and fucking everything up...we could be looking at a very exciting band" - NME.com 

After Rehab, court cases, a near prison sentence, breaking ankles, nearly splitting up after our first gig due to a huge argument, a divorce, fights and 250 hours community service... The Wrongstar Society are proud to announce the release of their album ‘Beats, Rhymes and Conflicts’.

The Wrongstar society are a live 5 piece band / DJ/ electronic production hoodlum out fit topped off with cheeky bandito voxpop, boeing-powered guitar lines and OTT bass deformation.  

The Society consists of Paul Era, Bass Invada, MC Mooretime, Dirty D and ESQ. We met in a studio by chance back in late 2006 and after soon finding out that we had a shared interest in general hooliganism we decided to make a tune. That said tune evolved into the double CD album you now have in your hands. The Wrongstars set off on their World Tour in Dec 07 and since then have already played with The Stanton Warriors, Deekline and Wizard, Atomic Hooligan, Jay Cunning (Kiss FM) and Leeroy Thornhill (Prodigy). On top of that they have also done guest mixes on Kiss FM and Galaxy and had plays on Radio 1 and are in the process of setting up there own night in London. 

THIS ALBUM IS DESIGNED TO KICK THE SH*T OUT OF ALL THE GENERIC DANCE MUSIC CURRENTLY SUFFOCATING THIS INDUSTRY. FOR MORE INFORMATION PLEASE GO TO WWW.MYSPACE.COM/THE_WRONGSTARS OVER AND OUT!

Written by KOSTEK | 31 January 2008

Atomic Hooligan ‘Sex, Drugs & Blah Blah Blah’

Label: BOTCHIT & SCARPER

Rel Date: March 17th 08          

Cat No: Bos2LP027

Sex, Drugs & Balh Blah Blah is a step beyond their last album, with new vocalists, new live instrumentation, and a new outlook on music, the Hooligans have outdone themselves again.
Their sophomore album see's the return of long time Hooligan collaborator, Justine Berry of Hey Gravity, along with new vocalist to the camp & future superstar, Elmo Jones of the Furies. The lads have also employed a couple of Hip Hop legends from both sides of the Atlantic. DJ Premier collaborator, Afu Ra opens the album with an explosive performance to set the mood, then later on in the set, UK don Genasis Elijah, rips it up like only this rhyme animal can. The album also features Playboy -UK Cyber girl of the Year Alex Sim-Wise, turning in a trashy electro style chant for the masses.
The Hooligans have gone deeper with their production on this set. They pulled in string arranger Jote Osahn , well known for her work with the Gorillaz & Root Manuva, along with an entire brass section to round their sound out.


And if that wasn’t enough Christin Ward (DC Comics) has whipped up some of his amazing, twisted artwork to package the whole thing.
This big melting pot of talent really does make for one tasty musical stew by anyone’s standards

Hangin' with ILS - The Viro Interviews Part I
ILS is no stranger to our Breaks scene, with tons of releases on labels such as Marine Parade, Distinctive, his own ILS Music imprint, Botchit and Scarper and many others, his unique style and sound has captivated many a music fans across the globe.  He has taken time out of his busy schedule to meet up with me and the NuBreaks.com world!
Viro: First and foremost, thanks for taking the time out to meet with us!  Why don't you tell the world a little something about ILS that not many people know?

ILS: Hmm, well I regularly enroll into random college courses, because i feel i missed out on school , i was high on lsd most of the time, so now i am trying to compensate for my wasted and mispent youth

Viro: That seems to work LOL!
Viro: As some might know, you have a new album that has been completed, what can you tell us about this album? The style, direction, inspiration?

ILS: The album is pretty dark, based on my experiences in the music business and life in general !

Viro: When can we expect your new album in shelves? And on what label?

ILS: Hopefully the album (Paranoid Prophets) will be out in October 2007 on Botchit and Scarper Records. It is great to have label mates like Atomic Hooligan and Deekline on team

Viro: Sure is...it's a lethal combination
Viro: When can we expect some new vinyl or digital releases from the new album? (Singles etc...)
ILS: Singles will start around the same time as the album release, I left it to the last minute to sign this album, so the label didn't get much time to pull it all together

 Menu Music Presents

 

Rico Tubbs LP- "Knuckle Sandwich"

Active Image 
Album out –end June 2008   
30th  May * ALBUM LAUNCH PARTY *@ Herbal (London) with Rico Tubbs,
Atomic Hooligan (Botchit), Soul Of  Man (Finger Lickin’), Lady Waks, Blende Lot 49 & more!

 

 

Take a little bit of Baltimore, add a dash of rave stabs, throw in a little hip hop sample here and there, then allow to cook for 6 minutes with a massive bassline, and what do you get? This amazing LP that will blow you mind.

 

Rico Tubbs - The finish lion of everything funk is here and he aint going anywhere till you bow at his overly skin tight jeans and kiss his ethically sound sneakers…. and this is exactly what you will be doing when you hear his brand new album Knuckle Sandwich on Menu Music. Featuring the club monster Gangsters, this full length player is packed to the brim with full on monster mashout’s. 

 

Menu could not keep it down any longer and with unprecedented early support from Tayo, Krafty Kuts, Soul Of Man, Si Begg, Deekline, Stanton Warriors, Switch, Crookers, Drop The Lime & Sinden you know this is going to be special (especially when half the DJs are on our case for the tracks!)Rico’s sound has developed over time with all his releases on Menu, and various other releases & remix’s on other labels. But we think that he’s hit the nail firmly on the head with this set. Bottom heavy UK garage influenced bass lines, hip hop samples, cracking snares, and Baltimore grooves. Rico pulls it all in to make a heady album for your feet. Not many modern breaks Producers can call on the amount of influences Rico has for his album.Simply put, this is his finest work to date and we are proud to bring it to you as Menu’s first ever full length album release. You won’t be disappointed.
