Our Favourite teacher is back with a second single from his forthcoming LP, S.P.T.A. This time, Mr. Cadet takes us back to the sound of the mid nineties with the classic sound of the psycothic neurotic producer named Diamond D. Intelligent lyrics, perfect flow and a brillant beat made with …

Forgotten Treasure: Mad Lion “Take it Easy” (1994)
This one’s for the rude bwoyyys! Love those classic mid-90’s hip-hop / reggae productions. Stuff like “Don Dada” from Supercat, Louie Rankin‘s “Typewriter” and this super dope track from Mad Lion. “Take It Easy” was actually produced by KRS-One! Didn’t know that until I just looked into it just now…

Future Classic: Seiji “Whisky”
Seiji is hands down my favorite producer from that late 90’s early 2000’s London Broken Beat scene. The good news is that he never stopped putting out absolutely amazing cutting edge dancefloor stuff. He gives tons of free tracks (and not the crappy ones) on his website which you should …
Forgotten Treasure: Kelis “Little Suzie” (2001)
Really cool forgotten little nugget from one of my faves, miss Kelis. This was taken from her second record which wasn’t even released in North America, the record really didn’t believe in it because there weren’t any clear cut singles. I’ve always loved this track produced by the Neptunes of …
