Despite the fact that in the UK the summer seems to have decided not to happen this year, you can still enjoy it with the help of your ears, your imagination, and preferably some good company, alcohol and burned meat.

If the summer does ever start, bump this. It will make it a lot better.

As usual the Irish shows were thoroughly messy. The Oslo Flow show was particularly disgusting every night. In fact it was all particularly disgusting every night. We can’t wait to do it all again. This time in we’re heading to Sweden – Gothenburg to be precise, and we are joined for this leg by Monster (sorry boys I don’t know where the Umlaut is on this keyboard..) ,Fidel Cutstro, and Blak Randy (who seems to be called Disscuss again).

But first to relax a little and get the Oslo Flow and G.O.D records ready for the BBQ….

The Community Skratch Music Looper comes to you with a host of beats from various talented beatmakers who are involved with the Community Skratch Games. There’s the .exe or .swf versions for your pleasure.

‘I compiled these beats coming up to the games in 2010 and was hoping to release the looper a.s.a.p.,we had a few delay’s which meant its only coming out now.
anyway! i’d like to thank all the people that contributed beats, and big shout outs to nozl for throwing it together for me! thanks everyone, jimmy.’

I’ve said enough already. Its been a long time coming but its finally online and ready to consume. 37 mins long in total – so make sure you’re comfortable before you start but it’ll be worth every minute of it.

There will be short clips from this film going online in the next week or so along with a downloadable ipod/iphone compatible version so you can watch it on your way to the Community Skratch Games at Easter. Enjoy.
