Our podcast forces the guest to choose one song - We know, we're awful. But when our guest is someone who writes about music and culture, where do they even begin?! Andrew knew exactly where to go, and it might not be where you expect…Andrew Emery is an author and cultural commentator with a deep-rooted passion for hip-hop. He authored The Book of Hip-Hop Cover Art, which explores the artistry and cultural significance behind iconic album covers, and Wiggaz With Attitude: My Life as a Failed White Rapper, a candid, humorous memoir detailing his journey through hip-hop. Emery's unique experiences, including founding the cult rap magazine Fat Lace and his long-term role as an editor for Hip-Hop Connection, were retold in his most recent book Write Lines: Adventures In Rap Journalism.Show notes:Website: https://velocitypress.uk/product/write-lines-bookInstagram: @drewhugeWelcome to Survival Songs, a podcast where each episode our guest tells us about a songs that gets them through the best and worst of times.https://open.spotify.com/artist/286u8X9g8zCa5OODERzaPX?si=GK6SD3uhQt-2ztJ8ycCOOgHelp us a grow a community of survival song listeners by joining us on over on Substack:https://survivalsongs.substack.com/'Can We Pretend' by Bill Withers can be found on our community playlist on Spotify along with our listener's Survival Songs.

New Book "Write Lines" out now: https://velocitypress.uk/product/write-lines-book/This week we sit with Andrew Emery to discuss his experiences as a journalist for Hip Hop Connection, founding Fat Lace magazine, and loads more from his past as an aspiring rapper (he's also done bits of DJing so we aren't cheating), and much more.This book covers his time in publishing, and is his second memoir after "Wiggaz With Attitude: My Life As a Failed White Rapper" ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/Wiggaz-Attitude-Failed-White-Rapper/dp/1999760700 ).

This week Adam sits down with Rob Pursey - Master of Ceremonies and DJ at Hip Hop Karaoke, Southern Hospitality/Players Ball, former Fat Lace and Hip Hop Connection journalist, and general hip hop authority. We discuss his journey South from Darlington and Newcastle through Leeds and Manchester, to London. We learn how busy it's possible for one person to be, juggling promotion, journalism and DJing with primary school teaching. We find out how influential hearing contemporary Southern rap in the club was for Rob, and how it ushered in a whole new era of DJing and promotion for him, and how the Southern Hospitality crew basically became an A&R force in the US and across Europe.

New Dawn Records were formed in 1996, facilitating some initial low key releases mainly as a way to help some local friends have their music heard.   The main activity began from 2000 when they signed the hip hop crew Belles in Monica, spearheaded by producer Kruze, and helped in their development and recording leading to the group's only album release “Resistance is Futile” in 2002.  The affiliated singles “Y'All Under Surveillance”, “Meltdown” and “What D'Ya Need” were released on vinyl that year and received international radio airplay including key supporters such as Steve Lamacq on BBC Radio 1's flagship Evening Sessions show.   The singles were particularly well supported in the clubs at the time which led to high entries on DJ Magazine's specialist charts while the group also featured in international publications including Hip Hop Connection, Billboard, Blues & soul, XLR8R and Hip Hop DX.   Some of their music was also used for a number of Xtreme Sports programmes and small independent film.   The group's final single release was “Smoke Filled Rooms” in 2003   During this period, the label looked to expand their operation and bring additional dynamics to their overall organization.  With a group of fcolleagues, the concept of “Urban Elite” was conceived, originally to build a community of those active in different artforms such as film, photography, music, street art, the aim being to cross collaborate on various projects.   Over time, Urban Elite's activity centred on film / documentary production, music production and music promotions.

SOUND PELLEGRINO X TSUGI MIX #2 DON'T CALL IT EUROCRUNK BY TEKI LATEX — Track list: 01. Feadz - "Fizzle" 02. Para One - "Beat Down" (instrumental) 03. Modeselektor - "Rave Anthem" (UPS edit) 04. Tacteel - "Beats Like That" 05. Mike Jones, Slim Thug, Paul Wall - "Still Tippin" 06. Krazy Baldhead - "Revolution" (Para One remix) 07. France Copland - "Pute et Mac" 08. Ceebrolistics - "Tyomi" 09. Stacs of Stamina - "Poisson" (screwed) 10. Para One - "Nobody Cares" — Pendant la première moitié des années 2000 quelque chose a eu lieu dans le milieu de la musique électronique française. A cette époque les backpackers du rap indé se sont mis à découvrir la musique électronique dansable, puis à accepter le fait que le rap puisse être dansable également. Certains musiciens électroniques de leur côté n'avaient pas envie de choisir leur camp entre l'electroclash et l'IDM intello, deux genres qui prédominaient en France à l'époque. Une troisième voie s'est créée sans vraiment que l'on ne s'en rende compte sous l'impulsion de gens comme Feadz et Orgasmic qui mélangeant techno et rap sudiste, moins d'une année avant de découvrir le "Hollertronix" de Diplo & Low Budget qui allait changer le DJing à jamais. Une poignée d'européens gravitant autour de Bpitch Control et d'Institubes se sont mis à inventer un style entre rap d'Atlanta (le crunk à l'époque), techno et booty dopplereffekt-ienne avec une forte influence d'IDM de Prefuse73 à Team Shadetek en passant par Team Doyobi, en ajoutant à cela un attrait coupable pour les samples d'eurodance à la limite du mauvais goût. Le groupe Radioclit décide de réunir tout ce petit monde dans un article de présentation chez leurs amis du magazine anglais Hip Hop Connection. Il faut trouver un nom pour baptiser cette nouvelle scène et à moitié en rigolant, quelqu'un suggère "Eurocrunk". L'article parait et le mot "Eurocrunk" devient instantanément ringard et embarrassant. Puis arrive la grosse vague french touch 2.0 et des disques des Daft Punk et de Justice à l'énergie très rock imposent la turbine 4x4 comme seule voie possible pour un musicien électronique français ayant envie d'attirer l'attention et de se faire une carrière internationale. Ce style va tellement séduire que de nombreux musiciens de la scène dite "Eurocrunk" vont complètement abandonner les expérimentations faites dans le sens des hybrides rap/techno pour se mettre à concevoir une musique binaire énervée et distordue, bien plus immédiate et efficace en club. Le genre, mal nommé, étouffé dans l'œuf, tombe aux oubliettes. Quelques années après, pendant que les parisiens sortent banger sur banger, des soirées montréalaises prennent le nom de Turbo Crunk (collectif dont sera notamment issu Lunice) et des gens comme Machine Drum, Lazer Sword ou Hudson Mohawke prennent plus ou moins le relais de ce style. En 2013 c'est le Trap électronique qui prédomine, et il est étourdissant de voir à quel point ce style très populaire aujourd'hui à de choses en commun avec ce qu'une poignée de parisiens, d'allemands et de scandinaves produisait vers 2003. Avec ce mix j'ai essayé de faire le mix que nous aurions du faire à l'époque pour officialiser ce style. Que sont-ils devenus? - Feadz est passé du label berlinois Bpitch Control aux parisiens de chez Ed Banger via l'aventure Uffie ; - Para One a intégré TTC à l'époque de "Beat Down" (dont les scratches sont signés DJ Orgasmic) puis a eu la carrière qu'on connait avec notamment deux albums solo, l'un chez Institubes et l'autre chez Marble ; - Tacteel : co-Fondateur d'Institubes, son morceau "Beats Like That" sonne littéralement comme les beats de rap qui sortent aujourd'hui. Après un passage chez TTC il sort plusieurs EPs solo et vient de signer un album de pop française sous son vrai nom Jérôme Echenoz ; - Modeselektor ont quitté Bpitch pour lancer leurs propres labels Monkeytown et 50 Weapons à la rencontre de la techno berlinoise et de la bass UK ; - France Copland, pionniers de la booty-tech française, sont aujourd'hui d'un côté Crackboy et de l'autre Benjamin Morando chez Discodeine. - Ceebrolistics, groupe de rap finlandais, se sont scindés notamment en Teeth (post-dubstep chez 502, Ramp, Sound Pellegrino) et en Michael Black Electro (l'un des pionniers du Skweee chez Harmonia) ; - Stacs Of Stamina était le groupe de rap suédois de Johan Hugo, devenu entre temps la moitié de Radioclit avec le français DJ Tron, puis la moitié de The Very Best avec Esau Mwamwaya. —Teki Latex
