Over the last couple years, Japan has become quite the hotspot for reggae culture worldwide. Word has it that on the right day, you can catch 20,000 reggae fans pack stadiums just to hear *homegrown* nihon vibes! Cats like Skywalker (of Big Cat 'Coppershot' fame), Vader, Takafin, and Kenty Gross are reppin roughneck dancehall pressha hot enough to clash with ANY sound East to West . And while most of these tunes will never make it to our shores, you can always count on N20 to bring you the hot exclusive shit! In that tradition we have a blazin set of Japanese Dancehall from Akaider, who got the joints hand delivered from Tokyo along with the OG nihon sencha.

Since were paying respect to Ray Keith, We unearthed an old mix recorded by DBK in 2001. Peep this mix of all four tracks from Ray's 2001 EP mixed back to back on DBK's oldskool Technics 1400s (yeah, 1400s). We also got some info on the "All crews" book from the UK. More details to follow.

We dont post much about DNB these days but we had to give respect to 2 folks making history. First off, we'd like to shoutout Brian Belle-Fortune who just re-released his infamous book "All Crews". The book is about his journey through the growth of Drum & Bass and has been updated to the current trends in Drum & Bass music. Make sure to pick up your copy Here. Speaking of legends and a person who is featured in this book... We were honored to interview one of the most influential producers in Drum&Bass... None other than Ray Keith. He chops it up with us and gives some insight as to why he wants all true DNB heads to stick with the vinyl.

Flashback to the year 2000, when Digital Bombing had just received the new Ray Kieth Dread LP and it's had some dope rollers on it. Speaking of rollers.... We was rollin' in the DB HQ back then doing home improvements with the hot N2O supermodels. Who goes back that far? Shiro threw down a dope little mix of Dread with some scratching thrown in. Some OG bizness recorded 07.31.2000... Til now, No one can test Ray Keith... or DJ Shiro

One of the most remarkable producers in hip hop, DJ Mark The 45 King. You can thank him for giving a lending hand to the careers of Queen Latifah, Lakim Shabazz, Chill Rob G, and even Jay-Z and Eminem... Yall remember "Hard Knock Life" and "Stan"? 45 King was behind the boards on those multi-platinum bangers. Today we bring you a very dope clip, provided by the 45 King himself.

Looks like we are currently rummaging through the vault and unleashing the dope shit we've grabbed over the years. Yall might remember Deejay P, who did some mashup steez with DJ Z-Trip several years ago. This is his "Gangsta Mix" where he cut up everything from NWA, DJ Quik, Spice1, Too Short and Rakim, amongst others. I think he hates the term mashup, just like everyone else does. Dude has got some skills, even the ones that got him up to the DMC's. While your at it, head over to the ORIGINAL NUTTER and look up the C-Walk, then throw this mix on and throw up your set.
