THE HOP @ THE END CLUB 1999 - DJ SEMTEX & DJ KOFI
In 1996 if you lived in London there were no hip hop clubs going on. DJ 279 had stoped doing his night "Flava of the Month" which was legendary, and Westwood was doing the temple but nothing regular.
The Hop took place once a month at the End club in London's West end, and it was THE spot if you wanted to hear hip hop. The idea of the club night was just to play good hip hop whether it be old or new, and the sound system in there was one of the best in Europe at that time. Myself MK,alongside Diablo, and Shortee blitz tore it down every month for nearly 4 years, and it was the sickest night.
This was a real legendary night, and was also my first residency. It was basically where i learnt alot. In 1999 i had to go to New York to do shows with Roots Manuva, so i called in my homeboy Semtex to do damage whilst i was away and the spot got blown.
Check out this live recording with DJ Kofi and Semtex from march 1999.....Both dj's tearing it down......Those were the days!!

PRAY FOR DJ VADIM
PRAYERS GO OUT TO VAD AND YARAH
VADIM WAS DJING AFTER ME AT THE BIG CHILL AND LOOKED THE HEALTHIEST I VE EVER SEEN HIM....
FROM YARAH...
I hope that you will understand that the only reason i am making this public, is because i believe in the power of the people!!
And i believe in collective thought.If we all challenge our energy towards something we can make it happen.
WE ARE THAT STRONG!!!
There is no easy way of sharing this with you...
so i'll just go ahead and do it.
Vadim has been diagnosed with Cancer!!!(If you would like to know more about it, please google it. As i do not want to delve into it here. The name is: Ocular Melanoma / choroidal melanoma and it is a very rare type of cancer).This has obviously been a shock for all of us.
I hope everyday that i'll wake up and it's all been a bad dream...
I can't help but feel anger and frustration, as it's so hard
to accept that this has happened to such a good man!!!
Not only someone so extremely talented!!!But someone so healthy, so young, so fit?Someone so kind, so loving, so funny?
A friend of mine said to me the other day,
''Maybe this type of thing happens to the real good people, just
because they are the ones who are strong enough to survive through something like this??''Yeah maybe?
I still don't think it's fair.But whatever the reason may be.
I know one thing....
Vadim is a fighter!!
He always pushes himself to the limit...
And i will be there pushing for him when he can not.ALL my energy and presence is now channeled in Vadim's direction to help him get better!!He is by far one of the most incredible and inspiring people i know.And i am truly blessed to have met him!!!!
And so is everyone who has ever been touched by his music and his presence!!!!!So many times has he had my back and lifted me up when i was down!And i wish now that we can all do the same for him!
All i am asking from you, is to create a proactive boomerang
....WORLD WIDE and please pray for him! Help him heal!!
Send him all your energy and love, and think intensely about him
surviving, recovering and coming back stronger!!!
Musically he has many more shows to rock, many more albums to finnish.And so many more adventures to go on...the world needs him!!
Fuck..... i need him!!!
Please take your time out to light him a candle and think
about him in the most positive colorful light....starting NOW!!!
Shower him wit LOVE!!!! Telepathically, spiritually, verbally...in which ever way!!!
Cause we have the power to do so!!For the past few weeks i been trying my absolute hardest to get him the best
treatment available. And making sure he is strong, spiritually, mentally and physically for whatever is ahead. I remain positive!!! And try to instill that positivity in him....daily!!!But right now there is not much more i can do. It is time to give him over to the doctors.
(Physically, but not spiritually!!)
He is in hospital now. And will have an operation tomorrow, (friday 26th of September 8am UK time) , i can not tell
you exactly how long he will have to stay in hospital. But i hope not for too long.
so....Friends & Family...
Know this...we are powerful, our thoughts are powerful,
so if we challenge our energy towards him when he is going
through this chapter in his life.
I know that our collective positive energy and light will help him through this!
...i know this might not have been the most eloquent letter
i've written...but i was not entirely sure how to convey these news to
you, so yeah i just wrote it the best i could considering the situation.
Thank you for reading...

SLEPT ON MONDAYS.... SAUCE MONEY & JAY Z - PRE GAME
Wow, 1st time i heard this was from Premier on a mix masters weekend mix.Classic later 90's HEAT!!!
Sauce money was a dope MC who could defiantly hold his own against Jay Z.
By 97 Sauce had a good amount of hype building up, but his album dropped way too late and never really got his dues. Theres alonger version of this track but i prefer the 2 min version and that's what you got right here. Recently sauce Money has made a lil come back and still sounds dope....
Gotta find a way to drop this in the mix on the radio...
