I Am Legion

I Am Legion
‘Make Those Move’
Division Records/Par Excellence

iamlegion.co.uk

If you are a Noisia fan already then there’s no point in explaining the superior production qualities that they bring to the EDM scene, and if you are into your UK Hip Hop you would have definitely bumped into the upbeat tunes of Foreign Beggars. They have worked on a couple of projects before but this week, they have announced an album project collab under the new name of I Am Legion and together, they have made a concoction of aural abuse that will blow a dance floor to pieces in seconds.

Merging a fantastic combination of rap and electronic beats, this bass-fueled filth should be illegal. It’s brash, bold and comes packed with a serious punch. Soundwise you better have decent bass bins to get the full effect as this packs such a punch when turned up loud it rattles your inner ear on 11.

In terms of the collabs between these two artists, 2009’s ‘Contact’ tune was a banger, ‘Shell Shock’ pushed it to another level, ‘Soul Purge’ opened the doors for annihilation. I Am Legion is a monster. Get on this.

Look out for live shows at ‘Electric’ in Brixton on the 26th September and UKF’s ‘In Motion’ in Bristol on the 28th.

We regret to inform you that former DEVO drummer Alan Myers (2nd in line of this photo) has passed away after a battle with cancer today. His jazz drumming skills graced their recordings and live shows for a decade between 1976 and 1986 when the band were at their peak, enjoying chart success with ‘Whip It’ and the legendary albums: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo!, Duty Now for the Future, Freedom of Choice.

This band are one of the best of all time. If you managed to miss this video interview with Mark Motherbough that we had the pleasure of shooting, then press play. RIP Alan Myers.

The return of Tom Crowe

tomcrowe_skateboardingTom Crowe and myself have spent some good sessions together over the years. He lives in Morocco thesedays and loves a bit of surfing, but came back home recently for a quick shred.

This NBD at Eaton skate park went down first time, but Spex was there to capture another. Go Croweman, you are sorely missed.

Marseille Bowl comp footage 2013

The annual comp down in Marseille’s Prado Bowl is always one not to miss. It is arguably the best skatepark in the world, one to visit this summer if you are thinking about going somewhere different with friends. Head to Bud Skateshop and ask for Momo to get details of where to find spots.

Here’s a new edit (with awful music) from the most recent event with Greyson Fletcher absolutely annihilating for first place and a rock flip on the wall from Dannie Carlsen to cherish.
