UK hip hop collective PBGR announced their headlining gig ‘OTFYM’ at London's famous venue 'Birthdays', earlier this week. 

Skep Swarve and Crunch who make up of the group, will take to the stage to perform songs off their debut album‘The Black Market’, as well as old and unreleased material. The duo will be joined on stage by fellow artists of the PBGR Nation: Mo The Artist, Mike Bagz, Charlie Mase, Ayo Wrote and Miraa May; plus special guests. 

The night ‘OTFYM’ (One Time For Ya Mind) is presented by Blvck Diamond Entertainment and PBGR, and is promised to be an awesome night of great music and a consistent vibe throughout.

PBGR who are known for their songs ‘1996’, ‘Well Wishers’, ‘Gas Pedal’ and ‘SMW’ recently released their first track of 2015 ‘Four Seasons’ featuring Mike Bagz and Charlie Mase. 

‘Four Seasons’ sees Crunch and Skep take on an eclectic sound, but stay true to themselves where they stay in touch with reality, offering a relatable account of their version of events to listeners. The new track: a positive and upbeat vibe, allows listeners to engage with the idea of patiently waiting for their ‘season’ and knowing when it's your time to lead. Full details of their ‘OTFYM’ gig as seen below.

[In Rotation]: Ralph Hardy's ‘Expensive Bounce’ Alternative New Grooves Mash-Up Mix

No stranger to this blog, Ralph Hardy is back with his newest mash-up mix and I'm loving it!

Ralph Hardy, after giving the world what he thinks his parents would be listening to if they were kids today with ‘Black Eighties’, has pushed the tempo up to the 130s to show the power and value of good old "I'm in the zone right now. Don't look at me, I'm ugly" head nod.

Despite announcing his departure from BANG Radio, the vibe must continue with all the nice alternative new grooves.

And with that comes ‘Expensive Bounce’, his brand new mix a mash-up of house, bass and that new bounce with songs by Lil Silva, Vic Mensa, Young Dro, Goldlink, Full Crate and much more.

Summer anthems all jam-packed in this mix just under 30 minutes, are one of the many mixes to come from Ralph Hardy this season.

Point out the bounce and raise up the volume as you head-nob and vibe to ‘Expensive Bounce’ below. Also available for FREE download here

[In Rotation]: Ralph Hardy's ‘Black Eighties’ Alternative R&B Mash-Up Mix

Ralph Hardy is the DJ of the moment for me. The London hailing DJ has released an alternative R&B mash-up mix called ‘Black Eighties’, containing songs by the likes of Justin Timberlake, Beyoncé, T-Pain, Mary J. Blidge, Clean Bandit, The Internet, Disclosure and more to name a few.

Ralph Hardy gives us an enjoyable mix that we can groove to with our parents that consists of back to back hits - with songs from the 90s, noughties and new era material with a modern day tinge as he likes to call it.

The full tracklisting of Ralph Hardy's ‘Black Eighties’ can be seen further below. Enjoy the new mix from one of London's most renowned DJ's and listen to why I've put this mix is in rotation!
