Beautiful flyer. Awesome lineup. That does it for me but if you need more convincing check out this preview mix Slackk has put together for the ever excellent Work boys.

This is kinda old I think but it captures pretty well what I miss about skateboarding…

This weekend sees the opening of Shop Dutty’s sister store The Gold Mine on Stokes Croft.  Promising a huge selection of vintage and retro clothing from the 1950s-90s at bargain prices the store will run until mid October in the Central Reservation exhibition space, with a launch party this Sunday at 7pm.  Those crafty Dutty Girls have managed to snag sponsorship from Turning Leaf Vineyards so there will be free wine flowing all night and I’d be amazed if they don’t bring a big bag of party bangers to spin too.

Crazylegs crew are rolling to this in London tonight, holla if you’re about, then Shandy and EFA will be Ustreaming tomoro along with the Wifey boys and Tom from FACT mag.  Gonna be a good ‘un.

Dub Boy’s first dancehall mix in 2 years is available for download now over at Don’t Panic’s website, sporting some great artwork by our pal Zachary Saitoti.  Straight up summer vibes.

We’re very pleased to say TMP are back with a new collection which will be instore next week but if you’re in London tomoro why not help them celebrate at Wholesome from 7PM.  Apparantly there will be free booze and, intriguingly, free tattoos…

The Eglo crew are doing A LOT right now..  If you missed them come and takeover for our show at the Attic in Bristol earlier this year then be sure not to miss out on this rapidly approaching opportunity.  Eglo family in full effect in the basement of new (ish) London venue CAMP on 31st July – strictly VINYL only!  If you needed any more persuading, here’s a tasty little mix to download to get you in the mood – http://www.sendspace.com/file/jakyeu.  Early bird tickets are a mere fiver and are available over at Ticketweb.

Perfect timing!  8 days before he plays our Crazylegs Summer Jam Lil Silva drops this tough, tribal mix for FACT Magazine, featuring loads of new material from the man himself, plus Karizma, and Geeneus & Katy B’s awesome Good Life cover.  Download it here.

Donuts will be closed this Saturday as there’s no way in hell either of us will be sat inside while St. Pauls Carnival is going on, but luckily word is that far and away the best t-shirt to be had in Bristol that day will be available out of a suitcase somewhere inside that very carnival.

Bristol based artist Myles Wesley Donaldson has produced an edition of 30 hand-screened bootleg Bart Simpson/Nelson Mandela tees, available for a mere £15 on the day.  If you can find him.

Saturday night was live. After taking over Nandos on Park Street we rolled down to Bristol’s new Crash Mansion venue which I have to say sounds NICE. The Kelly Twins, SRC, Girl Unit and Roska absolutely smashed it before Scratcha DVA popped up and made a surprise appearance, finishing his set with this incredible reworking of Natty, featuring a vocal from Fatima. Just WOW. Big up everyone that played and that was there. Great night.

Soundtrack to many a day at Donuts and constant source of incredible new music, Rinse have finally been granted an FM license after a mere 16 years broadcasting. Big up Geeneus and all involved.

We love you.
