So I cancelled my show this week, didn't I? Well, I got a hold of a cover show on Sunday instead. Quality. So, 2 hours of UK Garage thundered out live. And then some bright soul did ANOTHER HOUR on top for good measure. I think I'm addicted to new music. I hope you are too. Keep it foolish, monkey muffs. B

So this is part 2 of my epic 5 hour set from last week. Swallow it down and enjoy. Don't forget - no live show on Sub. FM next week, but hopefully a podcast at some point. Maximum. B

So it was 4/20 (or the 20th of April as we call it in Blighty) and apparently this has something to do with marijuana. From what I can gather, it's a quaint concept imported from The Colonies. 4:20PM is when teenagers with little hope of gaining full time employment later in life would congregate to inhale the smoke from a cannabis cigarette. After catching on with many of the great unwashed as th...

Promo mix for Spring 2013. Awesome. Listen. It's dead good. Enjoy, B

So on Friday I went rollerskating. You'd think a grown man on 8 wheels is never a good idea. I absolutely flippin' loved it. Is this the worst part? Nope. The worst part is I actually own my own skates. What is great Satan's pee hole has this got to do with UK Garage and this week's show? Nothing. But I don't imagine anyone reads this anyway so I'll say what I like. Sometimes I like to pee on inse...

So here we are. Episode 100. And after a night of listening to some of the most boring thumping 4x4 minimal shit in the East End of London (tequila and Jagerbombs are at fault) I was hanging out of my arsehole. Thanks so much for sticking with me all the way. And if you haven't had a chance yet, make sure you grab my latest mix by taking part in the Brainz Podcast survey. You lot a frigging legend...

So I've got an exclusive new promo mix for you to get your hands on, and the chance to grab some Amazon vouchers. Wicked! There's a tiiiiiny little catch here for you to get your hands on them. I wanted to say maximum respect for sticking with me through the last 99 episodes of UK garage goodness. As we fast approach episode 100, there were 2 things I wanted to do. Firstly, give you guys something...

Something something UK Garage blah blah new tunes yada yada inappropriate comment about rape. *Insert cool street sign off here* B

YES! We're back again to totally cover you in UK Garage. And you love it, don't you? You dirty bastards. Bare new tracks. I won't gone on. Just listen to it goddammit! Holla! B

Où est le boeuf? Le boeuf est dans la discothèque. Voulez-vous me montrer vos culottes français? Je tiens à uriner sur les poulets qui vivent dans les boîtes de céréales. Baguette. This insightful message was sponsored by my ever increasing onset of insanity. B

Altercations on a bus in Shoreditch, teenagers going 4 ways on Soundlab belt drives and making sure that Nigel Benn is rocking a strap all form the story of Orpheus:ldn in this special episode of the Brainz podcast. Here, you get to meet me and my running partner Paul Muad'dib. We sit down, tell you about who we are, how we got here and why the fuck we even talk to each other. So strap your earbud...

Sometimes we need UK Garage Psychotherapy. This was definitely the case for me after a tragic Friday night. The banging tunes were a very soothing remedy to the emotional scars I'd gained. So now I won't be rocking backwards and forwards in a corner saying "please don't touch me, please don't touch me". I hope this helps others in the same way. Safety! B

Happy New Year kiddywinks. Had mad fun on this show. One of the reasons was that my Orpheus:ldn brother Paul Muad'dib was in the studee-i-oh for the show. Bare new riddims. Like BARE. As usual. There's the occasional pot and pan that I'm aware of and sorry for that. Really. But hopefully that won't detract from what is a great UK Garage start to 2013. Happy January! Brainz

Hang on... Just putting on my best Barry Manilow voice... LOOKS LIKE WE MADE IT! The world didn't end. Remember when that was a thing? It was only a thing (I imagine) as a large percentage of derkheads actually thought it might end. There was solid apocalyptic dicksplash chat all over Twitter. It bored me. Then we survived and no one breathed a word of it again. THANK FUCK. So, after we've now spe...

Bit of a solider's show this week. I threw down for 2 and a half hours. Savagely. What can I tell you about this show? Well... Whistla challenged me to do a "1 old, 1 new" show. So the back 90 minutes is me mixing new school garage into old school garage. Was a very fun experiment! There's also exclusive first plays from DEVolution, Danny Dubbz, Lojt and a very rough Orpheus:ldn. Aren't you lucky...

I have no explanation for the title of this mix. All I know is there's some smashing tracks on there. Top ched a gwarn. I hope you enjoy! Remember - No Armani, No Punani Safe, B

We all know New York's hottest club is Spicy. Just ask Stefon. And I bet they play banging UK Garage there, no doubt. So many big riddims this week. Fresh tracks from Disclosure, K-Warren, Zinc, Doneao, Pledge, MileZ + a shed load more. Hope you enjoy, and big up for continuing to listen to the Brainz. Safe!

So do I have a clue what Bluku Bluku is? No. But the side of the rave I was at suddenly turned into the front of the rave and I'm now so close to D Double E and Footsie that I could spit on them and I'm shouting Bluku Bluku as loud as I can. Mad hype. That was my Friday night. This, however was my Saturday, and it's a garage hype ting right now. So hit play, stand up, AND FUCKING RAVE. Safe B

OH MY GARSH. Had so much fun this week with this episode. Loads and loads of new music for you as per usual. Hating the fact that Apple has split its podcasts out separately. This will give a big hit to new subs to the podcast so please make sure you tell your friends! Safe, and I hope you enjoy B

So this is my 2 year anniversary show on the bass heavy Sub. FM. Time has flown and I've had a blast so far. Here's to another 2 years of amazing bass (how sweet the sound). As per usual there's lots of new music for you to consume. I hope you enjoy. B

"Brainz I'm scarred for life" "Why?" "I just Googled 'Anal Prolapse'" That was an actual conversation I had yesterday in the Sub. FM Chat Room. I have no idea what he was expecting. Given my track record of dodgy show names I don't know what they expected when I set my show title to Anal Prolapse UK Garage. What can we gather from this little story? I've got problems. And I don't care. Enjoy the t...

Hi guys, It's been a while since I last tore it up on the tube train. I fancied throwing down this morning and recorded this in one blast. Oh gosh. I was literally walking through the barriers at Liverpool Street with an iPad whilst in the mix. Hope I did you proud. Always like to cheese it up a bit on the tube. So I hope this isn't too stilton for all of you. Enjoy like Pak Choi B

UK Garage like pinot noir is deep, dark, full bodied, and likely to give you a banging headache the next day. This was similar to the headache I had the morning of this show with a savage hangover after a night out on the red wine. Loving the vibes I threw down in this show. As per there's a shitload of new music. Hope you enjoy! B

Shanking you in your face again with some savage UK and Future Garage again this week. Some bangers in here. Watch out for the new big one from DEVolution, throwing down a wicked remix for Rebecca Ferguson. You know the drill. Anus-loads of new music for you. Hope you enjoy! B

Mmm pppt mmm ppt BEEFY BEEFY. Easy click. Had great fun this week. Bare BARE new riddims for you. Like it's a joke. So much fire in the inbox. Appreciate the chatroom crew that were locked. I had to rush around to get back in time and was on a mad one by the start. Some of the b-lines are so tough that I have to say I will accept no responsibility for any damage done to your face from chewing it o...
