Riot police in Cairo Egypt 311 (R).
(photo credit:REUTERS/Goran Tomasevic)
CAIRO - Egyptian prosecutors and police raided offices of 17 pro-democracy and human rights groups on Thursday - including several funded by the United States - in what rights defenders described as a campaign against them by the military rulers.The official MENA news agency said the groups had been targeted as part of an investigation into foreign funding of such organizations.RELATED:Egypt: Mubarak trial resumes after delayElBaradei blows cover on alleged US-Egypt talksRights groups, a driving force behind the protests that toppled President Hosni Mubarak in February, have become increasingly vocal in criticising the army's heavy-handed tactics in dealing with street unrest and demanding a quicker handover of power to civilians."The public prosecutor has searched 17 civil society organizations, local and foreign, as part of the foreign funding case," MENA cited the prosecutor's office as saying. "The search is based on evidence showing violation of Egyptian laws including not having permits."The United States expressed deep concern over the raids and urged Egyptian authorities to immediately halt "harassment" of non-governmental organization staff."We are very concerned because this is not appropriate in the current environment," State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland said. "We are looking for this issue to be resolved immediately."Among groups targeted were the local offices of the US-based International Republican Institute (IRI) and National Democratic Institute (NDI), said a security source and employees at the organizations."Security forces who said they were from the public prosecutor are raiding our offices as we speak. They are grabbing all the papers and laptops as well," said one person working at NDI, who gave her name as Rawda.The security source said employees at the offices were not allowed to leave while the searches continued. It said the prosecutor had confiscated documents and machines as part of the investigation.A Reuters television reporter who approached the IRI's offices in central Cairo found the doors sealed shut with wax and saw several police vehicles driving away from the area.Other groups that were raided included US-based Freedom House and local groups set up to defend judicial independence, individual freedoms and democracy, according to the Egyptian Organization for Human Rights.

ISP and Jo Daviess County sheriff to partner
Staff Report
PECATONIA, Ill. — This time of year, many people in Jo Daviess County are on the lookout for beautiful fall colors. Illinois State Police District 16 Commander, Lt. Martin Zamudio, and Jo Daviess County Sheriff Kevin Turner are warning motorists to keep an eye out for a couple of different colors — red and blue.
More than 900 people were killed on Illinois roadways in 2010 and many more traveling in rural areas. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), only 23 percent of the United States population lived in rural areas in 2008, but rural fatalities accounted for 56 percent of all traffic fatalities.
"There are several causes factoring in to the higher percentage of fatalities in rural areas, but the leading factor is people in rural areas use their seat belts less than anywhere else," said Lt. Zamudio. "Surprisingly, new drivers, with their recent driver education training, wear their seat belts less than any other age group."
Sheriff Turner said: "Since 2006, 25 people have lost their lives in traffic crashes in Jo Daviess County. That is why deputies will be working with troopers to more aggressively enforce seat belt and child restraint violations."
Troopers and deputies will be focusing on school routes throughout Jo Daviess County ensuring that drivers, especially young drivers, get the message. "Our goal is not to write tickets, it is to prevent injury and death in our county," said Turner. "The loss of one life can affect countless people — husbands, wives, sons, daughters, mothers, fathers, neighbors and friends."
"It is quite simple. When you get behind the wheel, choose to buckle up and put your child in a safety seat. These choices can save you money and, quite possibly, your life," concluded Zamudio.

Here's the New York Times's Eric Lichtblau reporting today on the trio of superlative appointments announced for the Justice Department today: David Ogden to be Deputy Attorney General, Elena Kagan to be Solicitor General, Dawn Johnsen to be head of the Office of Legal Counsel (italics mine):
The records and public statements of the four nominees named by Mr. Obama suggest a sharp break from the legal policies of the past eight years in a number of key areas, including the detention, interrogation and surveillance of terrorism suspects.
For instance, Dawn Johnsen—whom Mr. Obama said he would nominate to lead the Office of Legal Counsel, which has become controversial because of its legal defense of practices bordering on torture—did not try to hide her skeptical views on recent counter-terrorism policies in a law review article last year entitled: "What's a President to Do: Interpreting the Constitution in the Wake of the Bush Administration's Abuses."
Got that? John Yoo and Steven Bradbury were defending practices "bordering on torture." We're talking about waterboarding, hypothermia, long-time standing, the use of psychotropic drugs and burying people in a box for prolonged periods, among other things.
Dear Times editors: read your own pages. When Russia used the practice of stoika in the Stalin era, you called it "torture." It is. Why does it become "bordering on torture" when the Bush Administration uses it? When the Nazis used the practice of Pfahlbinden during World War II, you called it "torture." So when Bush uses it, suddenly it becomes "bordering on torture"? By consciously softening your language, you are allowing those who introduced torture to escape the opprobrium that is their due. Moreover, you are enabling torture. Your readers deserve better.

Germany to sign G20 statement on Syria
September 7, 2013 - 17:29 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Germany will sign a Group of 20 statement supported by 10 nations calling for a strong international response to Syria's alleged use of chemical weapons, German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said on Saturday, Sept 7, according to Reuters.
"After we saw this excellent and very wise position of the European Union, the (German) Chancellor (Angela Merkel) and myself decided that we support now the G20 statement," Westerwelle said.
While the statement called for a strong international response, it fell short of supporting military strikes on Syria that U.S. President Barack Obama is considering.
Earlier, the European Union's foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton said the EU's 28 nations agreed that available information seemed to show strong evidence that the Syrian government perpetrated a chemical attack in August.
Ashton was speaking at the end of a meeting of EU foreign ministers in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius, where they discussed the situation in Syria and Europe's response.
France is one of the few Western allies supporting a possible strike. President François Hollande hopes to get European leaders to coalesce around a summit statement Friday denouncing the Assad regime over chemical weapons.
"It's really important that the Europeans present at the G-20 are on the same page in condemning the use of chemical arms and condemning the regime that used them," Hollande said.
British Prime Minister David Cameron said that UK scientists have found evidence that poison gas was used in the alleged attacks.
In an interview with BBC television, Cameron said that the evidence "further shows the use of chemical weapons in that Damascus suburb."
Despite the 'new evidence', Britain will not join a U.S.-led military strike as the UK parliament voted down a bid by Cameron for military intervention.
China has already expressed its "grave concerns" over unilateral military strikes.

cover art is fantastic
It's so bright.
Digging: Midnight - No Mercy for Mayhem
awesome cover
love this band, favorite instrumental band by far
album artwork rocks
Sweet, some more suckage from these guys.
Digging: Full Of Hell & Merzbow - Full Of Hell & Merzbow
cover rules, so must be aoty
suckage? lol listen to The Collective and rethink that statement
The Collective was the biggest awesome surprise of 2011, stoked for this
Digging: Bobby Barnett - Little Wounds
This band is awesome. Chris is the nicest dude ever. Unsure why other instrumental acts get no love and these guys do... kinda dumb.
Man i'm really excited for this album
animals as leaders gets love too
I'm not the biggest fan of the cover, honestly. Their other albums have shown a lot of restraint in the artwork and this is kind of off the wall. But whatever. I'm waiting to hear the sound in full, too, but it seems way more like Monument which is not the best thing (but still pretty cool).
Digging: Lost Ubikyst in Apeiron - Abstruse Imbeciles Nailed On Slavery
Of course Jamie King made it gold.
cant wait, so unbelievably keen. cover art looks great.
cover art looks like a dinosaur made out of broccoli.
"cover art looks like a dinosaur made out of broccoli."
Cannot be unseen. Lol
Goddammit Fear
I think the reason these guys get more love compared to other metal instrumental acts is that their
music doesn't sound dull. Not the most technical or complex metal musicians, but their songwriting is
great and they actually do something interesting compared to bands that play scales as fast as they
can without any strong harmonic structure or incoherent lines and with drummers so who try to do a
bunch of complex rhythms that sound mathematical rather than musical.
Well that's why I enjoy listening to them.
You are what you eat, guess those dinosaurs have been eating their vegetables
Goddammit Fear
Couldn't help it lol
always forget this album is on the horizon. pleasantly surprised when i'm reminded.
sweeeeet yes
nah they rock
they have the diddly-doos
Megadeth, Alice in Chains, Black Sabbath, Cynic, Carcass, and now Scale the Summit have new albums coming out this year! I NEED MORE MONEY! DX
stoked to hear this, but i understand the "suckage" remarks. They are boring as hell live and their albums lack diversity that an instrumental band needs
I'm ready! I'm ready!
Can't stop won't stop
god theyre so good
I'm very much looking forward to this!
Loving the art very much so
Digging: The Birthday Massacre - Superstition
My body is ready
band rules
Digging: Azealia Banks - Broke With Expensive Taste
I always hope you're trolling when you post stuff like this silentpotato, either that or you're one of the most pseudo-intelligent elitist on here.
both i think ^
made my preorder, cd/vinyl combo coming my way. that blueish-white cloud colored vinyl was too pretty to pass on. glad i got one too, guess they only made 100 like that, then 300 just a boring clear
Potsy only likes ambient drone music
I got the vinyl too, because I've been getting my favorite album from each year on vinyl, and this will be AOTY '13
heard their new track on metalsucks this morning. sounded aight, was still kinda sleepy and had to listen to it quiet at work so idk really. i usually like waiting for the full album anyway.

UPDATE: US/UK: Jack Link's sets "number one" goal after Unilever deal
Peperami to join Jack Link's beef jerky line-up
US beef jerky firm Jack Link's said today (21 February) it wanted to be the world's "number one provider" of branded meat snacks after snapping up Peperami and Bifi from Unilever.
Privately-held Jack Link's was this morning named as the surprise buyer of Unilever's meat snacks arm. It first emerged last summer that Unilever wanted to sell its meat snacks assets and Mattessons owner Kerry Group was heavily linked to the business.
However, Jack Link's has struck a deal with Unilever for an undisclosed sum. Jack Link's said it is "the number one US meat snack brand and fastest-growing meat snack manufacturer worldwide".
Troy Link, Jack Link's CEO, added: "Jack Link's mission is to be the number one provider of branded meat snacks throughout the world. This acquisition is a significant step in delivering on that mission. [The] Bifi and Peperami brands continue to drive growth in meat snacks in their respective territories."
Peperami is sold in the UK and Ireland while Bifi has listings in Germany, the Benelux, Austria and Switzerland.
The transaction, subject to customary closing conditions, includes the manufacturing unit in Ansbach in Germany.
Speaking to just-food, a Jack Link's spokesperson refused to be drawn on the company's M&A plans. "Our acquisition strategy isn't something we can discuss, but obviously this is a significant acquisition for the company," the spokesperson said.
For Unilever, the deal is the latest food asset it has sold in recent years. In 2013, Unilever's disposals included the sale of peanut brand Skippy to Hormel Foods. The consumer goods giant is focusing its resources on ice cream, where it is the world's largest manufacturer, driving growth from its other food businesses and further expanding its home and personal care operations.
"Bifi and Peperami are two iconic local brands. As we continue to sharpen our portfolio to deliver sustainable growth for Unilever, we believe that the potential of these two brands can now be more fully realised with Jack Link's," Jan Zijderveld, president of Unilever's European operations, said.

One of New Zealand's longest-serving soldiers never spoke about the Great War, but his letters tell the story for him.
Melville Mirfin, raised in Ikamatua on the West Coast and schooled at Nelson College, has been chosen as the face of New Zealand Post's official stamp and coin programme to mark 100 years since New Zealand entered the war.
More than 120,000 Kiwis served in World War I, out of a population of one million people.
About 18,000 soldiers - that's one in seven - did not return, and they included 234 former staff of the New Zealand Post and Telegraph Department.
NZ Post's ''1914 - for King and Empire'' is the first of five stamp and coin issues to be released in each of the five years until 2018.
All will honour the likes of Mirfin, who left their families to answer the call to defend their country.
His grandson, Commodore Ross Smith, speaking after a ceremony of remembrance at Queens Wharf this week, said that, despite spending almost five years overseas, Mirfin never talked about his wartime experiences.
He said his grandfather would probably have regarded last night's ceremony as ''a great big fuss about not much''.
Three of Mirfin's seven brothers fought in the war.
Like him, Stanley, Ashton, and George all returned safely.
The brothers' stories were pieced together from memorabilia, including postcards and letters, found in a family suitcase.
Ashton's son Stuart Mirfin said his was one of thousands of families with similar wartime stories, ''never featured in history books''.
''Not once did Dad or any of his brothers convey the sacrifice of New Zealanders was in vain.''

There is no tip-toeing around by a group of Taranaki Salvation Army parishioners who are raising funds for their local foodbank – they're auctioning a toenail that has been grown and cultivated for a year.
The toenail, still attached to the foot and growing, has so far reached a top bid of $7.50 – almost enough for two cups of coffee.
The proceeds will be donated to the Hawera Salvation Army's foodbank.
The auction webpage, on TradeMe, describes the nail as a "good honest Kiwi male nail".
"Offered here for auction is your chance to own 1 only prime porcellus carnivarous keratin (middle toe nail) that has been carefully groomed for one year for you!"
The winning bidder has been promised a 12mm long of prime nail, neutral coloured no artificial additives, no steroids taken by the donor and freepost anywhere in New Zealand.
Eight bids have so far been placed on the unusual item.
Hawera Salvation Army head, Captain Joe Serevi was "not over the moon" with the auction.
He was told about it by a group of his parishioners on Sunday.
"I thought `Oh, glory'. I'm not really keen on the toenail."
However, Mr Serevi said it was honourable the group wanted to contribute to the charity.
A person responding to the sale on the website asked how long the nail would be when it was cut off.
"As I need more millimetres of nail than you can currently supply."
The seller said the nail was not expected to grow much more by the end of the auction, which closes on Monday at 8.30pm, but he did offer to send the person further clippings each week.
Another mused "I've heard of snail mail, but male nail!? I'm going pale!! I wonder what it'll retail for?"

Jonah Goldberg: Wait, isn't Obama the greatest political mastermind of our time?
This is not a matter open to fair-minded dispute, never mind partisan disagreement. Even the President and Secretary of Health and Human Services Kathleen Sebelius agree that the rollout of Obamacare has been a "debacle" (Sebelius' word). Revelations in the press and in congressional hearings show that the administration was warned prior to both the shutdown and the Obamacare debut that Healthcare.gov was as ready to go live as a kid's make-believe refrigerator-box submarine was ready to explore the ocean depths.

One thing I've always wanted in an DI framework is the ability to use injection constructors with objects that interact with the framework only to consume services. For instance:
public class ServiceClass : IServiceInterface
public string Name { get; set; }
public class ConsumerClass // explicitly implements no interfaces
private readonly IServiceInterface service;
public IServiceInterface Service { get { return service; } }
public ConsumerClass(IServiceInterface service)
this.service = service;
static void Main()
IUnityContainer container;
// blah blah DI setup stuff
container.RegisterType<IServiceInterface, ServiceClass>();
// Key point here!
// Alternatively:
IUnityContainer's BuildUp() method sort of does this, but it requires that you have an instance to pass in, and I can't do this if I want to use injection constructors.
Moreover, I could use:
new InjectionConstructor(container.Resolve<IServiceClass>()));
However, this is a lot of code to be writing--especially for classes that could have several parameters in the constructor--and seems to remove the utility of the container in the first place.
There's also:
container.RegisterType<ConsumerClass, ConsumerClass>();
However with this one, I don't actually want to register the type--I just want it to be created with its dependencies filled via the InjectionConstructor.
So in summary: I want to use injection constructors and I want Unity to do the mapping of registered services for me, and if possible I would like to keep my consumers out of the container. Is there a way to do this that I've missed?

TGIF! While I'm typing this, I'm already making plans for the weekend. A well deserved weekend if I may say so, since the passed few weeks have been busier than ever. Not complaining though, it's actually something that makes me function as well as possible. One thing that comes with being to busy: the messy hair. When you see me walking around with my hair in a low bun, you know I've been too busy to give it a proper treatment ;)
For now: almost weekend! What are your plans?
Jacket – Every.day.counts / Jeans – Rag & Bone / Blouse – H&M Trend / Sneakers – Nike Air Force 1 / Watch – Clusewatches
Ph. Sanne
Layering up in grandpa-ish layers on this drowsy day at work. Wearing some old faves like these not-so-black-anymore-skinnies, trashed boots and very old coat, because well.. do we really need an excuse to wear your favourite pieces over and over again?
Coat – Mango / Blazer – Monki / Jeans – Mango / Boots – Acne
Ph. Lennart Groot
Colour! For as long as I can remember, I've been sort of avoiding bright colours on my wardrobe, except for the occasional blue boot or bright sneaker. Not because I don't like colours in particular, I just think almost everything looks better in black. Now that I gathered quite the collection of black and grey coats already, this new green (huge!) fella was a very welcome to the evergrowing coat family in my wardrobe.
It's no secret that – besides coats – I'm really into shoes as well. I love them. In all sorts and shapes. But that doesn't mean I'm not picky when it comes to finding the right footwear. So that's why it took my quite some time before I finally found the perfect pair of pointy loafers. The ones I found were either too pointy, too unforcomtable or too elegant. Too elegant you say? Yup. Shoes can bee too elegant for me. Recognize that?
Anyway, I bumped into this awesome Zign collection over here and clicked home the perfect black and white point loafers I was looking for. Like them too? Lucky you, because SFFTE x Zign are giving you the chance to win a pair of these too.
All you have to do?

Yup, that jacket again. I tend to wear my favourites a lot, so I guess you'll be seeing it around a lot more in the future. Don't blame me, it's just too nice and warm (and awesome!) to not give it a lot of wear. Talking about giving a lot of wear: those baggy leather trousers totally died on me this weekend (as in: huge hole situation – awkwarrrd) so I'm happy I recently found this one as a substitute.

Bravo's Top Chef All-Stars Night at the Museum episode, aired on December 8, featured two teams cooking to win the favor of children and their parents, with one group preparing a plant-based menu. The chefs were placed into two groups, Team Tyrannosaurus and Team Brontosaurus, the latter requiring a vegetarian menu. Team Brontosaurus, including past Top Chef stars Spike Mendelsohn and Carla Hall, cooked veg dishes including gazpacho and gnocchi. The vegetarian team beat Team T-Rex, who prepared animal product-laden dishes such as braised bacon with hard-boiled egg.

Grime / Dubstep
Grime / Dubstep
By Martin Clark , April 3, 2009
With its relentless forward momentum, urban music moves quickly. Where once it might have taken a decade or a generation to put stylistic clear water between related artists, now even as short as a few years ago can feel creatively distant. 2009 is underpinned by one trend: undercurrent. As funky moves apace, grime MCs jump on 4x4 beats and dubstep tries to roll without wobbling, the undercurrent of percussive momentum flows through them all. Yet it wasn't so long ago-- 2004-05-- when dubstep dared to disrupt its own dance by going into dark and deadly half-timed "halfstep." Led primarily by producer Loefah and DJ Youngsta, it was a time of massive risk taking and change, one that would influence so much of the genre's future progression.
In 2009, dark and deadly halfstep seems creatively distant. It's almost as if it has been forgotten, by DJs at least. Yet to lose such a bold and unique idea-- that dubstep can have impact without excessive momentum-- would be a tragedy. Luckily, in the true dubstep spirit of swimming against the tide, the small but tightly knit camp of Swamp 81 are determined not to let that happen.
It's perhaps little surprise to learn that the owner of new label Swamp 81 is Loefah himself. 2009 sees the innovator back and energized, carrying a new secret weapon. That weapon is Kryptic Minds, the production duo of Si and Leon, who-- after falling out of love with 21st century drum'n'bass-- found themselves creatively liberated. Kryptic Minds and Loefah met through Youngsta and in doing so re-formed the halfstep circle. When you factor in Headhunter and Burial's involvement, suddenly you have a very strong creative core. "I came up with the name [Swamp 81] in May. I just couldn't find anything for it. I didn't want it to be just another dubstep label bringing out whatever," explains Loefah.
Then he heard Kryptic Minds' deadly new direction, which represented something Loefah had been seaching for in dubstep for quite some time. "That night I listened to the beats... I was like 'fucking hell,' I couldn't believe it," he said. "Throughout 2008 I was very confused about where the sound was going. There was this whole jump up thing going on, which is what it is. To be honest it's not my preferred music but... it fills a gap. What I want to push with Swamp 81 is the gap that isn't really being represented anymore. The roller, the halfstep... spacious."
What Loefah heard in those first few Kryptic Minds beats is edgy, rolling, stripped back spacious dubstep that was spectacularly well made and also had its own identity-- emotive, organic in places, very junglist in spirit-- unlike the vast number of producers who tried to clone his sound in 2006, and failed. The first fruits of the partnership are Kryptic Mind's "One of Us", a deadly 12" that encapsulates producers who understand the difference between edgy and too angry; that restraint often has more impact than chaotic release. This deft understanding of the tensions and contradictions buried within dubstep, and how you use them is played out yet further on their new album, due on Swamp 81 later this year.
The most remarkable fact about Kryptic Minds is how little dubstep they'd heard before creating such a startlingly strong album. It was just Mala's "Bury the Bwoy", Loefah's "Jah War remix", and some Burial which was to ignite their passion for the sound. "To be honest I still don't listen to a lot of stuff, only what Headhunter sends," admits Si. "Maybe within this dubstep thing, I think I'm gonna be an outsider."
Maybe a distance will remain between Kryptics and the rest of the dubstep scene, but in many ways they and Loefah are as one. Look at their passports and, just like Burial's, under their occupation it reads "Original Junglist." Loefah speaks regularly about being inspired by the musical place somewhere between Reinforced Records and early Metalheadz. Si loves this era, too: Kryptic Minds signed to Metalheadz in the early part of this decade, releasing singles for Goldie's legendary imprint.
"I'm thinking Wax Doctor, Doc Scott, Goldie-- that kind of thing. It's that transitional phase between Reinforced and Headz that is in my heart" explains Loefah. "That's what I'd like to do with Swamp. And I don't want it to be labelled as 'the halfstep label.' I want it to have that kind of tunnel vision Metalheadz had in 1996, that kind of 'we're going this way. I'm not watching what you're doing, I'm not watching what you're doing-- I'm going straight ahead.'"
In that spirit, Kryptic Minds' One of Us zooms in on edgy 140bpm halfstep, forcing the listener into a headspace where perfectly placed details come into vivid focus, like the hyper-real intensity of night adrenalin. Everything is tautly coiled, as if priming the listener for a flight-or-fight reflex. The tension is barely unleashed throughout the album. "To me the album-- and this may be really gushy," enthuses Loefah, "it's like a night out. Leaving the house or wherever you are, going through the night and the last track is morning. The sun's come up and it's time for bed."
While much edgy music speaks of urban decay, Kryptic Minds live in Essex rather than London-- more outsiders than scenesters-- and some percussion sounds were recorded in the woods, striking trees for snare sounds recorded at gritty low quality on a mobile phone. It's like Burial's plan to sample footsteps scuttling out of a church flipped into a completely different setting, one that subverts the natural tendency to think of urban decay when placed in a dark headspace.
But despite the edgy overtones of the album, Si and Leon found the album enjoyable and fun to make, especially in relation to the emotional context in which they wrote their last album, the drum & bass longplayer Lost All Faith. "Basically my brother died in 2000," explains Si. "In 2003, we signed to Metalheadz and were doing a lot of work for Goldie; originally it was going to be the first artist album album on Headz. But it didn't really pan out and one thing lead to another.
"We do literally a couple of tracks a year and so we just left it because I was too emotionally tired: three years in and I'd just lost my brother so I was drained, at the time I was trying to write vocals dedicated to him and I can't sing, at all. So it was kinda just a mad one because I'd lost all faith in drum & bass and because of the drugs, the drink and my brother killed himself, he had also lost all faith... So [by contrast] the new one has been great fun."
His sense of enjoyment must be infectious. As 2009 rolls on, Swamp 81 seem to be building a tight knit camp and an impressive arsenal, built by their natural affinity for each other's sound. Headhunter and Kryptic Minds have collaborated, Loefah's back on production duties again exploring his love of dark 808 drum machines, at whatever tempo he pleases. Kryptics have built a future anthem entitled "Badman" and have remixed Loefah's DMZ classic "Root" to devastating effect. Returning the favour, Loefah and Burial have been collaborating on a pair of Kryptic Minds remixes, due out on the same 12". But before all that, there's one deadly album to be dealing with first.
"I think the Kryptic Minds album and the 12"," concludes Loefah, "it's just making a bit of a statement. We're saying 'you know what? It's not this, it's not that, we're right in the middle and we're headstrong with it. You either like it or you don't.'"

This being the first dubstep/grime month in column of 2009, it makes sense to look forward to the rest of the year. And who better to give you a forecast than grime's kingmaker, Logan Sama. With his Kiss 100 show here, archived downloads here, with a few notable exceptions (Spyro, Maximum...), no one else can make or break an MC or producer in grime like Logan. With his Adamantium label for CDs and Earth616 imprint for instrumental grime, we asked him for his vision for '09.
The five up MCs Logan Sama's most looking forward to in 09:
Chipmunk: "I am looking forward to hearing Chipmunk's album. He's nearly finished it and it has so far been completely independent with no major label meddling so I am intrigued as to how it sounds. Chip is like the superstar of his generation and he will be carrying the torch for artists into the mainstream.
Griminal: "Griminal is a fantastic raw MCing talent who really does embody what the essence of grime is when he is on the mic. He even has grime in his blood as part of the Ramsay family who founded the NASTY Crew. His debut CD should be full of fire."
Dot Rotten: "Another raw talent is Dot Rotten. Whilst he might be volatile and unpredictable, as I have seen for myself, when it comes to creating music he is a bright spark, and his first CD from last year, RIP Young Dot, was one of the most critically acclaimed."
Tempa T: "He possesses a style which cannot be imitated. Other MCs have likened his presence on the mic to a rocket ship taking off. Literally kicking off the year with the track 'Next Hype' he has grabbed a lot of attention."
P Money: "He's an MC from South East London who has been prolific with his mixtapes and promos. He has a delivery that fires off like a Gatling rather than the clichéd AK-47 rifle but never sacrifices his clarity. I think when he gets into the studio and produces a lean and mean debut street album it will be something to look out for."
The five events Logan predicts will be most important to grime in 09:
1. Newham General's album, released on Dizzee Rascal's Dirtee Stank label: "The album Generally Speaking makes no compromises to any daytime radio pluggers or teeny bopper magazine journalists as it includes tracks like 'Violence', 'Bell Dem Slags', and the audio assault which is 'Head Get Mangled'"
2. Skepta vs Wiley June 09: "Wiley will be releasing Race Against Time. Skepta has Microphone Champion. Both CDs are scheduled to drop the same week in June. This friendly rivalry should bring the best out of both."
3. Project Urban at the O2: "Project Urban at the O2 is a concert which has been put together by two 18-year-old promoters with help from the Prince's Trust fund. They have managed secure a massive venue and an all star cast of artists to perform from the grime scene. It will be in effect the first grime concert event. If Static Productions can follow the success of another two teenagers who set up a record label called Takeover and made Tinchy Stryder a star it will be a good look."
4. Ayia Napa: "Everyone remember that grime MCs run the dances when they go back to Napa. That's all."
5. Logan Sama on tour: "My tour hopefully getting off the ground. The artists are getting out and about doing PAs all around the world, but I would like to try and package up a bit more of the grime experience and take it to the clubs that will have us, obviously masquerading underneath the anonymity of the 'urban' tag to avoid scaring the locals."
Logan's five grime producers to watch for in 09:
1. Wiley
2. Rapid
3. Maniac
4. Nocturnal
"They make beats that show you why grime is completely different from every other music in the world right now. And more exciting to me!"
Download an exceptional Logan Sama set with Ghetto and Wretch 32 here. And is this the best grime track of 2009 so far?
The UK funky scene continues to bubble and grow in 2009, making it the London sound with the most hype and momentum. Creatively it seems to be expanding in multiple directions at once. Spearheaded by Hard House Banton's ubiquitous anthem "Sirens", a darker, bassline-driven riddim that even found itself into Logan Sama's sets. The hybridization with grime continues, re-positioning the darker ends (or endz, sic) of the funky spectrum as "danceable grime." You need look little further than Lil Silva's "Pulse X refix" for evidence of that, with Ghetto's recently vocaling a percussive funky anthem. Marcus NASTY, driven by his Rinse show, is undoubtedly the genre's biggest DJ. If recent interviews are to be believed, despite his role as grime-crew leader, he seems very wary to let funky be dominated by MC-lead tunes. His sets remain vocal and percussive, with a raw UK twist.
By contrast DJs like 1Xtra's Footloose seem intent on plowing a path sonically parallel to the established house scene. "I hate to speak out of turn, but it's all sounding a bit like UK garage," Footloose even said on a recent show (a bad thing, it would seem), before dropping a refix of garage anthem "Celebrate Life" and new funky cuts by UKG legends El-B and TJ Cases.
So despite all the explosion of productions, the genre finds itself navigating between a rock and a hard place. On one side lies the risk that MCs may take the darker tracks and dominate them, just as they did with proto-grime and UK garage circa 2000. On the other side lies the sprawling house megacorp, a citadel so fiercely guarded that UK funky players are unlikely to be able to take it by storm. And while there are no shortage of catchy, radio-friendly vocal hits being churned out of funky right now (Fuzzy Logic [ft. Egypt]'s "In the Morning", Gracious K's "Migraine Skank", Princess Nyah's "Frontline", K.I.G Family's "Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes", and Donae'o's "Party Hard") that will keep up the momentum, it will be interesting to see how it finds a way to navigate through these two blockers and find original musical ground. Perhaps a hint lies in current Crazy Cousinz single"Inflation", the kind of epic xylophone jam 1970s disco producers would once have gone, erm, crazy for.
Or perhaps a third way lies in a new direction, recently coined "dubbage," more evidence that the house virus continues to mutate in urban London under the internal forces of age, reputation, and ownership.
Starkey [ft. Durrty Goodz] "Gutter Music EP" is out on Keysound Recordings. Dusk + Blackdown's debut album "Margins Music" [ft. Goodz, Trim, and Farrah] is out now.
