If you’re reading this and don’t know who Bushwick Bill was, take 2 mins to google him and find out. He’s about as unique a character as you’ll ever discover. And overcame a ridiculous amount of adversity. He literally already died once before.

I’m staying in a hotel for old people right next door to where I DJ’d last night (by the beach in Devon). And the conversation in the breakfast room is entirely about how disturbing the music from outside was last night. Everyone in the room is agreeing. 😬

Do you know how good it feels to be a hip-hop DJ who doesn’t have to play any Tyga or 6ix9ine? And who is free to play as much Mobb Deep or Beatnuts as I like? I say this not to boast, but out of gratitude

DJing - you can practice your craft for 30 years, and some coked-up wanker will still throw ice cubes at you when you play a song he doesn’t like! 👍🏼😀

The best DJ in the world right now is DJ Koco from Japan. He only plays 45s (7” records). No Serato or computers. He uses an old mixer with no bells & whistles. And he’s not on Twitter. You can check him out on Instagram. There are lessons to be learned there!

Wiley - clearly dealing with mental health/drug problems. What’s more disappointing to me is:
- racist nutters crawling out of the woodwork on his responses
- low-level racist media reporting (The Guardian: “Wiley accused of anti-semitism”)
- silence from the grime community

Regarding the pronunciation of the letter H: I notice all you morons who say “Haitch” instead of “Aitch” give that shit up when you say “NHS”. No-one’s saying “Enn HAITCH Ess” are they?

SOMEBODY went and uploaded my entire OLD SCHOOL DRUM & BASS/JUNGLE live mix that I did earlier this summer onto YouTube. With no copyright audio drop-outs. THIS IS COMPLETELY ILLEGAL AND I’M FURIOUS. Here’s the link

Oh no. Rest in peace to Double K of People Under The Stairs, who I worked with on my very first piece of music production “Quid Control”. A great MC and a great guy.

Crowd of 60,000 allowed at Wembley Stadium for the football, but I’m still denied an income by playing to a club of 200 people. Awesome stuff

And my point was that it is more depressing to me that countless grime artists, who all shouted about BLM, are conspicuously silent today. Being anti-racist includes fighting antisemitism. I can’t find one big grime artist deploring Wiley today.

The world of EDM DJs has become like the WWF wrestlers I remember from the 90s. Everyone has masks, suits and gimmicks. It’s hilarious, but it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with actual DJing or music

I'm friends with an old Indian lady who lives locally and knows what I do. She has been sending me her favourite Bollywood videos on a daily basis for about 6 months now. So I have an entire Bollywood show ready to go. Would anyone have interest in this?!

As a DJ, it’s important to break new music and play the latest hits.

The first Glastonbury I played at, the security didn’t believe I was DJing and I couldn’t get hold of anyone to prove it. So I scaled the fence (with a record box). Might be the most athletic thing I’ve ever done

I think in difficult times like these, we all need to ask ourselves: what would Paul Robinson do? I mean, he was a successful businessman. He owned Lassiters and whatnot. What would HE do?

All this time during lockdown, I've been slowly working on a new album. I just recorded I think my favourite scratches I've ever done in a song. This is of no consequence to anybody until you can hear it, which will be another few months. Thanks for your time reading this and bye

Feeling like my 50th Anniversary of Hip-Hop show might be something I should take on tour now…
@DJYodaUK
I'll add to it, your set was the best hip-hop set I've ever seen. If you want to keep it as an event only mix I understand but on the off chance you recreate it for release it I can't wait to experience it again, keep being awesome ❤️

- here’s where you can find me on Friday. Not a whole lot of hip-hop this year, so I’m gonna do my best to represent the genre by cramming 50 years of beats into 90 minutes! Hope to see some of you there - I can’t wait… 🎧🎉🎪

None of Biz’s best music is on streaming services. If you don’t know Biz Markie and want to check out his music today - this is my favourite album (of all time)

🙄 not gonna respond to anyone on this. I’m not on Twitter for politics, and I think I slipped up by even commenting. 5 mins after the tweet and already too many people missing the point, misunderstanding, or just more racism. Twitter is stupid platform for nuanced debate

Just to explain, in simple terms, what I’m doing tonight : DJing inside a large dome, like a planetarium, in Cardiff. My visuals will be stretched round an immersive 360 degree screen. No live audience, but the whole thing will be streamed LIVE on Twitch at 8pm. Thanks!
