One of the most difficult parties to promote as it was all about great players but without a leader. All artists, from 2morrowsvictory to Theo Parrish were simply amazing. Dimlite was again my highlight of the night as this man keeps coming with originality. Floating Points, despite the fact someone stole one of his record bags, delivered big time, he’s a professional. Theo Parrish gave the crowd what they wanted, going different directions and ending with the Infamous Mobb Deep, hell yeah why not! I want to thank everybody who came down, we had fun, it was a great anniversary edition, and the chocolate cake was delicious. Big up Democrazy, Big up Belgium! Up to the next one… Robert Glasper on tuesday.

Nice trailer for Something From Nothing: The Art Of Rap. I wasn’t really sure about the whole thing when I read about it but by watching the trailer I must reconsider my idea… Looking forward to it, coming out in June 2012.

Genesis the Greykid’s name sounds probably unfamiliar to you but the kid got talent and just shot a video for “A Thought” with Creative Control, taken from his debut coming out soon “Grey Matter”. Just the way I like rap music!

Not sure you’re coming but it would be good to see everyone there, I don’t expect thousands of people as this line-up is more for a niche crowd but the more the better so bring your friends and expect superior quality on stage!

Another band I played recently on my show is Hiatus Kaiyote, they are from Melbourne, Australia and they just got an EP out entitled Tawk Tomahawk. The music is beautiful and the voice reminds me a bit of Fatima’s voice. Make sure to follow this band and support their music here:

If you’re into some french rap music, especially when it’s a buddy and one of the most prolific and creative emcees I know, this is the mixtape you need to download. I originally mixed old, new and unreleased tracks by Grems for a magazine called Tsugi. The cd comes with the April issue. Enjoy what the man has to offer…

I was looking forward to this day that Jungle By Night would walk in the studio and do a session for me; This day has come! It was a great afternoon at the radio, nice session, good vibes; I also have some new music for you by Kendrick Lamar with Dr.Dre, Maylee Todd, Kan Sano, drummer Erimaj sounding good, duo from Seattle THEESatisfaction has an album out sounding good, BADBADNOTGOOD has numero dos out now, Chet Faker is back by popular demand, some deeper beats by Distal, Debruit, Juk Juk on Text Records, and Alby Daniels and a special version of Lions by Emanative featuring Zara McFarlane on vocals, really good… All that and more for you this week. Make sure your friends know what you’re listening, the more the better :)

I’m sure it would help the vinyl industry to just give away records in the streets. Technics would start producing record players again and we would be happy. Until that happens, there’s still GP on the BBC. Every saturday afternoon.

This is what you can expect on Friday the 13th of April at the Vooruit in Gent, in the beautiful flemish city. A serious line-up at a decent price, unforgettable performances from Dimlite, a young band from South-London 2Morrows Victory, and a toy set by Jurassic 5 deejay Nu-Mark. Of course Floating Points and Theo Parrish will help you to get through the night and Kwak will open the right way.

I’ve been pretty supportive for those girls lately, their album has just been released and there’s great and positive reviews about it so the last thing we need to know is how good they are on stage and so far it’s not bad at all… Thee Satisfaction in ya area!

For those who are still not familiar with the band name BADBADNOTGOOD, here’s a good introduction I think. They have a new album out with covers and original versions (I like CHSTR a lot). You will be able to see this Canadian trio live at work at Dour Festival on my stage.
