Overknights Feat. DRELOVE!!! 5-03-2011 / Firenze!!!

Next Saturday (March 3rd 2011) we'll be hosting a gig with the mighty MC/DJ/Producer DreLove!! He can be considered the american backbone in italian hip hop, the link between Italy and New York...as he contributed, especially as an mc, to many tracks and albums that would later become some of the most appreciated joints in italian hip hop history. Check out the stuff he did with 'Radical Stuff', 'Neffa e i 107 elementi', 'Almamegretta', 'Saweshi'....
Lately he's been mostly active with his funk band 'DreLove & The White Niggaz' and is about to deliver his solo album produced along with drummer/beatmaker DRUMZ...
DreLove's work has been inspirational for many artists out here in Italy throughout the years, and to us he's a friend and mentor, so you know we're bound to get down!!
March, Saturday 5th....if you're in the area you might wanna bring your dancing shoes!!!

Overknights feat. Tom B. - Feb 17th 2011!!

Next Thursday we'll be hosting a special gig with Dj Tom B., straight from Paris!
We must say we have a thing for Brasil, especially Biga who had the pleasure to meet Thomas last year as he exported his own personal selection of brasilian tunes out to the Favela Chic in Paris...
Since then Biga and us were just waiting for the right time to turn that gig around and have Tom B. over here in Florence... so, now, the time has come:
Thursday, February 17th 2011 @ Cargo, Firenze!!

Thomas Bignon aka Tom B is known for spinning Funk, Brazil, Bootlegs, Latin, Afro, Disco, Broken, Live House, Hip Hop, Brazilian and Jamaican Jungle... ! He's been active on Paris' black music scene for over 15 years as an acid jazz bass player, a funk band manager, event organizer and music journalist. Of course as well as being a Dj and founder of the Booty Shakers Crew and the Redo De Suinge, an international network of brasilian spinnin' dj's. He's a Dj resident for the Avenida Brasil parties, the Favela Chic, the Rua Carioca parties as well as official Dj for Paris' Samba schools!! (Zabumba, Aquarela, Sambatuc, Bloco de Paris)

So if you're around you probably don't wanna miss this funky samba sound....

Overknights feat. King Bleso - Jan 14th 2011 - Firenze

We'll be proudly hosting a gig with one of our favorite funk dj's as well as one of the leading figures of the italian hip hop / ragga scene the early 90's ('Isola Posse All Stars', 'Sangue Misto', 'Sud Sound System'..).
Many projects, collabo's and alias' throughout the years ('Gopher D', 'Unto Ke', 'Bleso Wastasi') have brought King Bleso to explore hip hop, raggamuffin and funk, as a beatmaker, mc and musician not to mention his earliest musical efforts in what would be his 'first love': punk rock ('Rabid Duck').
His latest project called 'King Bleso & The Voodoo Soul Unlimited' goes back to playing the instruments releasing a tasty, percussive funk/rock album called 'Oku'.
As a Dj he travels only with his 45's treasure box filled with funk, soul and rock jams that are able to move your feet for you....;)
So we strongly suggest anyone around Florence and in the need of some serious funk to come down to Cargo on the 14th of January...
Entrance is FREE... aka Drinks on YOU, Music on US....

Biga: "2 Sessions Outside, One@Home and Something to Ask..." Mixtape..!!!

"2 Sessioni Fuori,Una in Casa e Qualcosa da Chiederti" is another 'one track mix', full of 60's/70's Psychedelic Rock from many parts of this World (stuff from Peru, Belgium, Chile, Russia, Portugal, Italy etc.) some obscure, some not. You'll find some Pokora titles mixed up with post-rock tracks (or indie as you prefer to call it) from the end of the 90's/beginning of 2000 and some more recent stuff like OBO (Oshinoko Bunker Orchestra) or Pavel Dovgal.
Anyway everything is "handmade", it means hands on vinyl & live mixing, totally uncut stuff, this is the meaning of the title track "2 Sessions Outside, One@Home and Something to Ask..."
Nasty Art Cover by my man Pupa "Psicodelico" Tee
Don't forget to follow Ragnampiza for other bad ass mixes and radio shows

Enjoy,

Peace,

Biga.
