Ghost x Bonafide Magazine - Mix 01

Producer Ghost has been a mainstay of UK hip hop over the past few years and is now branching out with his production style. This is matched by his taste for music, exemplified by this mix he's done for Bonafide Magazine.

What they're saying:

"A hip-hop producer and touring DJ with more than 10 years experience, four albums and countless singles under his belt Ghost is a more than fitting débutante to our mix series. Ghost has graced countless MCs with his production skills including Jehst , Foreign Beggars and Kashmere, and always seems to be one step ahead-of-the-game when it comes to UK hip-hop. This is probably due to the fact that his music owes as much to progressive ambient, electronica and more recently, dubstep influences as it does to the traditional boom-bap and smoky soul samples characteristic of hip-hop.

Ghost recently dropped the brand new Remixes from the Edge album-featuring official remixes of tracks by Dabrye, Bonobo, The Heavy and Coldcut available for a discretionary price over at musicbyghost.com. This album serves as a pre-cursor to the imminent full-length release, Remixes from the Edge, a titular nod to his recent migration to New Zealand from London.

But first feast your ears on this mix."

Bonafide Magazine - Issue 03 Out Now

Bonafide Magazine's latest issue is now available:

"Raekwon the Chef is one of modern music’s most gifted raconteurs (yes music, not just rap). After releasing a few so-so albums following his mighty cannon of a debut, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx… back in 95, late last year saw the release of the long awaited sequel. And OB4CL2 may just be better than the original, find out more here.

If looks could kill…then Village Green would be facing up to a hefty sentence down the nick, but they don’t, of course. The design team behind Fabric’s distinct art direction and countless album covers reveal some of the tricks to their trade and inspirations, which include traditional arts & crafts and The Kinks, surprisingly.

Task Force have raised the bar for UK hip-hop. Consistently intense and razor sharp lyrics, brilliant collaborations and a defiance and honesty to say it like it is. Issue 03 gave us an opportunity to catch up with Farma G to reflect on the group's achievements, the state-of-the-nation, hobbies and his new non-hip-hop musical direction."
