JC 001 and DJ Dzire - Ride The Break [Audio]

This is the thirty eighth in a series of posts celebrating some classic albums from early pioneers of UK Hip Hop. JC 001 (Jonathan Chandra Pandy) and DJ Dzire (Darren Galea) were a dynamic duo in the early ’90s UK Hip Hop scene. JC 001, an Asian-Irish rapper from Ladbroke Grove, West London, was once titled the “world’s fastest rapper”. DJ Dzire, on the other hand, was known for his innovative…

8. Hand-Made // Alt-J

For some reason or another, I never owned this record physically until this week. Immediately transported back on first spin to Spring 2012 and the invention of chair jousting at the radio station. Essentially, we ran into each other with office chairs. It wasn't brilliant, but it was a good way to rid the station of a few unused chairs and the best use of our Friday nights.

2. Come Monday Night // God Help The Girl 

I watched this movie sometime in the last week and realized days later that it was the eeriest representation of a teenage indie elitist's musical fantasy. First of all, it was written by Stuart Murdoch of Belle and Sebastian, ergo it's the new film textbook definition for "twee". But it's got everything a disillusioned, pretentious music nerd (i.e. me at 16) envisions in a career: a band with two charming girls ripped from the latest Urban Outfitters catalog, a town of musicians begging to fill the open bass/drum positions of their chamber pop band, and a level of quiet, but noticeable cult fame that lands between Nick Drake and...well, Belle and Sebastian.

The clip after this is what's crucial though. Boy tries to sound smart in his apathetic, holier than thou gaze on music. Girls shut him down without a beat. I had a variation on that conversation many years ago and it probably saved me from being a total douche. Girls and friends of music snobs, shut down your local music snob without mercy.
