Having been part of the million plus people who marched against the Iraq War in 2003, it’s satisfying to see the ‘legacy’ of the ultra-smug Tony Blair finally being examined by a media increasingly tired of politician’s bullshit.

Cagedbaby - Medicine (The Rogue Element mix)
We’ve featured Cagedbaby before. We’ve featured The Rogue Element before (his blindingly brilliant new album Lumina is out now).
Imagine our joy when the combined might of their musical talents were compressed into on MP3. Even taking into account that it’s a ‘lossy format‘ that’s a lot of musical talent in a very small space.

Aquasky and Tee’ Ski - Back to the Top
As promised when we posted Aquasky’s latest mix here’s one of their brand new tracks, recorded with the man they call Tee’ Ski, for free, nada, nothing, zilch. And further remixes are to follow, also f-r-e-e.
'Remember what happened to me?'
Last night Andrew Murray played a five set thriller/struggled to beat his opponent to get to the quarter finals of Winbledon.
While ocassional flashes of brilliance shone through his performance, a brittle mentality, paper thin self-belief under pressure and complete collapse of confidence when it came to killing the game marked him out as another true British player.
Was it really the sight of a man who could win Wimbledon? If you think so, then put your money where your mouth is. Buy a new TV from Cdiscount (apparently the ‘largest European Online Retailer company’) and as he lifts the plate/trophy/whatever it is, you’ll get your money back.
Maybe wait till he gets to the final though before you invest.

Yes, it’s back. The once in a life-time opportunity to play at London club Chew the Fat! without having to climb the ranks via years of taking requests in shitty DJ bars, playing to indifferent crowds of locals (who just want a quiet drink) and getting no money.
Instead, make us a brilliant, outstanding, original mixtape and you could find yourself being let loose to twiddle some knobs at The Arches, our state of the art 1200 capacity venue. For no money.
Well, you can’t have everything… Read on for entry details.
These are now available in the Chew the Fat shop, which you can also get to by clicking the merchandise button on the left of the blog, for £15.
Snub23 has been painting for ten years with crews all over Europe so we’re chuffed to have his design on one of our tees. You can read our interview with Snub to find out more about him. Click on his t-shirt to buy.

ASBOluv once lived with the singer from Extreme Noise Terror, sported the finest mohawk we’ve ever seen and robbed Paul Arnold… which makes him OK in our book. You can read our ASBOluv interview to find out more. Click on his t-shirt to buy.

Chew the Fat! in July
MJ’s dead. There’s a heatwave imminent. It can only mean one thing… Chew the Fat! is on it’s way.
Advance ticket are now available and we have one heavy line-up representing bass music in all its many forms, from electro and techno to dubstep and bassline.
Once again, a lucky competition winner (or winners if you’re a So Solid style DJ collective) will be gracing the decks alongside them. Plus there will be three amazing street artists working their magic outside and producing exclusive t-shirts only available through Chew the Fat!.

Friendly Fires - Jump in the Pool (Calvertron Remix)
Departing from his trademark wobble bass shenanigans, Calvertron sent us this surprisingly poppy remix of the Friendly Fires.
Don’t get us wrong, it’s still got bass, it’s just that we easily imagine it being dropped on the White Isle this summer - and by that we mean Ibiza, not the Isle of White.
His mix is also a bit of a stonker containing Doorly’s massive remix of Bonkers and the Calvertron remix of Chaka Khan we gave away a little while ago.

Vandal’s back with a serious hands-in-the-air mix for the summer. Just close your eyes and imagine you’re at Glasto… but dry. Featuring Vandal’s forthcoming collaboration with Hyper this mix is rammed with dancefloor monsters. A perfect start to the weekend. Tracklist after the jump.
Michael Jackson, self-dubbed ‘King of Pop’, died yesterday aged 50 after suffering cardiac arrest.
