THE BPH

Guess Who's Back!!!!

     

       The godfather of Reggae music, David Rodigan MBE, is finally back on the radio. After leaving his Job at Kiss FM because he felt they were "Marginalising Reggae music" he has been announced as a new signing to the BBC Radio 1Xtra line up. 
      Rodigan announced the news on Twitter today and had this to say: "I am absolutely delighted to be joining BBC @1Xtra focusing on new cutting edge reggae and classic cuts every Sunday from 7-9pm." THIS is the reason you pay your license fee!    

 And Finally, it seems the Controversy around Skrillex within "the scene" continues...It kicked off on Twitter last night with all the Burial heads proper going for it saying that "skrillex is ripping off burial, that is some bullshit. go back to brostep asswipe" and Zomby coming out with "Now dont ever mention burial and skrillex in same sentence again". 

    

    In Skrillex's defence it's not a half bad song, you can definitely say that he has took elements of Burial and put them within the track but he has also added those little bits and bobs that make Skrillex, well Skrillex. You can hear the same synths voices that he has used in so many of his tracks very quietly in the background. Anyway, you can make the decision on whether this is a blatant Burial rip off or a new project for Sonny Moore. I reckon Skrillex may have had enough of making songs full of massive drops and screechy samples and decided..."hey i'll tell you what, I bloody love the stuff Burial is doing. I want me some of that action"


So, go on make your own minds up with these two tracks. The new one by Skrillex - Leaving (which i do love) and this track by the amazing Burial - Truant (My favourite out of all Burial tracks)




Skrillex - Leaving

Burial - Truant
