Shook – Shook Vol. 10

Finally, ‘The Great British’ issue is upon us – includes a fantastic interview Keith Mansfield of KPM fame, article on British record stores, and a delve in to Edinburgh’s Firecracker Records. This volume has a poignancy for us Londocentrics that just isn’t captured by any other mag….SHK10 tracks down the prodigal son, DJ Milo, who talks about the Wild Bunch sound system – the test laboratory for Massive Attack and ‘the Bristol Sound’; we celebrate the original pirate station turned legal Kiss FM, as we speak to many of the DJs from the station. We chat exclusively with Keith Mansfield whose music has been used by Dangermouse, Quentin Tarantino and Des Lynham. Bass is the place as we hear Mala reminisce about Metalheadz and DMZ, and we sit down with Sticky, the man who made Ms. Dynamite say Booo! We run down our survey of the UK’s record shops – from buying northern soul in Blackburn to reggae in Tottenham; and include stories on Queen of Lovers Rock, Carroll Thompson, Brit funkers Cymande and the very special United Vibrations; as well as teaching you how to run a record label, with Firecracker, RAMP Recordings and First Word. Plus we meet the new techno visionaries like Sei A and Wbeeza, and live it up in the Northern Quarter with Mr. Scruff, Graham Massey, Maddslinky and Hoya:Hoya.
