One of the last videos we shot on my recent trip to NYC. Jimmy taken of the Album Power of Now by the Diceman. Music production by JDepina and Key Figures. The video was shot on Westchester Ave in the Bronx.
Interesting fact about this song, the first time I heard it I was in my home Dice called me and played me the track featuring the sample of Jimi Hendrix talking. Sat next to me in my home was the late Jimi Hendrix daughter. It was one of those moments I and Dice will never forget.
The third video taken from the Limited Edition Pressing Power of Now. Only 500 pressed of this genuine soon to be classic. A huge thank you to everyone that purchased the LP in week 1. If you still you are not convinced here is video number 3 Bean Piez produced by J Depina & Key Figures.

Back in 2009/2010 I met Tha 4orce who took part in the king of the beats event held at London’s Vibe Bar located in Brick Lane. He soon joined the team, helping with the events. Off the back of the events I started the record label, pressing 45s from artists that came through the event and the king of the beats films. For some years The 4orce had worked on a instrumental project titled Setting Standards for which he put out him self.
He then went onto run the Mind tha Gap Radio Show which he featured nothing but new music from here and across the pond this lead him to return back to the project 4Orce wanted to make it a vocal version featuring UK artists that he was into and were of the moment. This project was lead and funded by him self. Any one that knows him will say that he is prolific worker, who is always on his grind, self motivated and very focused on his music. Through his network he was able to make use of the talent around him to create videos and execute his own plan. Every month to release a digital single launched with a video ending the year with a Vinyl pressing of the lp. Money earned from the digital releases goes towards the pressing of the limited edition UK Gem.
4Orce supported me and my projects since the time we started to work together and on this weekday visited me to help me shoot my piece for the Diggers Project. I thought it would be good to shoot a piece about him breaking down his project and his aims.
If you are feeling this please and want to support home grown artists please share and support the Setting Standards Project.
From way back when, long before this thing was called Hip Hop back in the very early 70’s this thing called DJing took a turn that changed the way DJs play music forever.
It birthed the Turntablists, DJ’s who manipulated the soundscape and arrangements of the recorded piece changing the way we were meant to hear the music. It became something else. Dj’s all over New York went crazy looking for sounds to manipulate, it birthed the Breakbeat DJs. One of the greatest of all time is the man featured here Jazzy Jay.
From Bronx River Jazzy Jay like Charlie Chase, Grand Wizard Theodore and DXT was of a generation that went all out on this from not just buying and searching for records but becoming exceptional Skilled on the turntables. Their tapes and performances have influenced millions of people across the globe. Held in High regard I’ve seen it my self people still be asking him what was this track you played at this event or this track on this tape.
It’s these DJs that inspired the members of DITC to coin the term Diggin in the Crates. I’ve known Jazzy for many years now and we have shot many videos together, he never fails to surprise me. When you see me and Jazzy put something together you better believe it’s going to be special and honest.
Recently I got to tour along side Diamond D and Large Pro doing the 45s sets, these men them selves Diamond especially will tell you that we was all mentored by Jazzy. Diamond you can see where he is at when he cuts 45s. the way he cuts them. Its not easy at all, but h makes it look easy as he came from a time and place where that is all it was and the only way to do it, it was competitive as almost every block had DJs that were all working/ practicing hard to make a name, to be hailed as one of the best.
I was in NYC for 4 nights to work with Large Pro and Main Source documenting the 25 year Anniversary of Breaking Atoms. One of the greatest Records ever made across all genres of music. I took one day off to be with Jazzy to see him and his family. On the Friday joined by Large Pro and King of Chill we got into the spirit of creativity and few beers leading me onto persuade Jazzy to cut some 45s for me and let me shoot. This was not rehearsed or prepared, but you can see here what we captured, a man who cutting up 45s is a walk in the park.
Jazzy Jay is available for shows. Info on the video.
for all those that know about the king of the beats events and 45’s Tha 4orce had dropped 2 singles on the label and has been a long time associate since taking part in one of the events held at London’s Vibe Bar. It came to a point where he began work on his solo Album Setting Standards, as the producer the Album features many of the UK most talented up and coming artists.

A great way to kick off your 2017 with this footage from Diamond D and Large Professor’s late 2016 UK tour. Notably two of the greatest hip hop producers of all time they have embarked on journey reverting back to a time long before they started making music, a time where as children they were fully taken by this new and exciting culture called Hip Hop.
Where Djing was thing. This new art form required two turntables and mixer. A bunch of 45s and to these guys and many alike them they had to find 2 copies of each record. They came in at a time where people where still discovering holly grail breaks. Very Exciting times.
Not only did you have to scrimp save and find these records you had to perfect and master the skill of cutting them up on the turntables not an easy thing to do. Competition was high so it only forced you to practice hard, if you didn’t have the skill on the turntables you made up for it with your selection. This is how great DJs made their name and found recognition.
Both these men mastered all the elements above. This later lead them into them becoming some of the greatest Hip Hop producers, Don’t ask me ask Kanye West who although i’m not a fan of him, even he when it comes to his piers will humble himself to name the two men featured here.
I was privileged to join the men on some of their tour. Although I filmed much footage over 4.5 hour of them just cutting up I put this selection together not just to showcase them but as piece of document to preserve this element of the culture.
Available to pre-order now, shipping date from July 1st. Limited edition 300 only colored vinyl from DJ Moe Love from the Legendary group THE ULTRAMAGNETIC M.C’S.

Mastered from tape this album is a must for your collection and a must for any of you DJs that cut up doubles for M.C’s.
For those that know the history of the group, they was one of the first bronx crews to get their hands on a SP 12, Ced G mastered it and along side Paul C and the group consisting of Kool Keith, TR Love and Moe created and put together the classic ULTRA LP CRITICAL BEATDOWN. This was a group that were Innovators and a inspiration for many of the great producers that came after. Followers of the blog will know that since 2013 i have been working on my film Looking for the Perfect Beat, as it gets closer to completion i decided to relaunch my label with a bang. After having to shut down all operations whilst getting divorced and being left broke again.
It is through a passion and dedication from the team, my self 4orce and the artists who took part in the film that this is coming together. This is your chance to own a fantastic LP from one of the greatest yet most underrated producers of this Genre. I would like to thank those that were part of this project and know journey its been to becoming a real product. Moe Love, Marc Davis, TR Love, Beanz and Tha 4orce not forgetting Chris Malbon.
