New tunes added to the "sampled by" page

Posted on by

Thanks to various contributors including Al and MandrewB who pointed out Marvelous Caine‘s junglistic sampling of Babylon. Al also mentioned Urban Distress from 1992, which I’d not heard before either.

Both of these have now been added to the Babylon Sampled On Records page.

You can hear both tunes on Youtube at the time of writing, but the links seem to go out of date pretty quick these days so I haven’t included them. Google is your friend…

And if you know any more please let me know so I can include them… eventually!

Today Programme

Posted on by

Babylon was featured on BBC Radio 4’s flagship “Today Programme” this morning. Franco Rosso and Trevor Laird were interviewed and there were a good few snippets from the film including “Shaka gonna beat you Beefy – Shaka RULE!” which was pretty mad to hear while I was still in my dressing gown.

Also interviewed was Dr William “Lez” Henry (aka Lez Lyrix).

The subjects covered were quite uncompromising with Laird and Rosso speaking about police violence and the sus laws whilst Dr Henry dealt with the National Front and the fact that black youth today are mostly fighting with other black youth rather than being the victims of racist violence.
