BREAKFAST, BEATZ & CONTRAVERSY!! RONI SIZE & DANNY BYRD!

Happy Saturday you lot!!!  It has to be said it's a LUSH day outside and It's Tip Top Tastic to be up and abourt and Bright and Breezy for a Saturday morning! Go me!!  I was MIA last weekend following a voluntary abduction on Friday evening by several Swansea Bass Addicts! (You know who you are!) They forced me to voluntarily stay untill Sunday AND listen to LOADSA BASS untill I voluntarily left!! Phew! So anyway, after 3- 5 days reflection/recovery, here we are! Discussion over breakfast it is then?! Tidy!

So what's everyone think of this new tune from Danny Byrd featuring no other than the AweSoMe RONI SIZE??!!

I've gotta say the jury's still out on this 1! Although highly amusing, the video baffles me! And the tune, which is punchy-ish and bassy-ish and liquid-ish.....and has muppets??? Is definately not the most intelligent or dance friendly tune created by either producer. It will undoubtedly be a BANGER though! Their reputations combined with a healthy dose of Radio 1 collaboration are a sure winner! PA ha!!

Speaking of Roni Size it's only fair to comend him for his services to Drum n Bass over the last 20 years! Hail Roni! An integral piece of the jigsaw in an era which saw Roni Size, LTJ Bukem and Goldie develop 'Drum n Bass' from it's Jungle roots, bringing it to the masses. On a performance level, his upbeat, BLATANT BANGINGNESS has never dissappointed on a night out, always managing to to work up the crowd into a frenzy!"! BOOYA! It was also at 1 of his gigs @ Cardiff Uni NYE !2003 where I was introduced to High Contrast as his support act! Another Legend! Thank you! So taking it back a decade, here's an old classic for your pleasure!!

Danny Byrd, what to say?? Bit of a name dropper?!! Ha Ha! He likes to 'feature' people and has collaborated with all the 'in crowd' such as Netsky, Brookes Brothers etc... He seems to like to make old classics faster, less melodic and euphoric by adding dub step esq noises accompanied by standard drum loops. If you're under 20, you'll probably get this more than me! Anyway, here's an example of an old skool classic gone BYRD!!

Definiately FOOD FOR THOUGHT IN THE BREAKFAST HOUR!!

What du reckon? Am I full of shit or totally RIGHT as normal?? Comments welcome! And any memories and anecdotes of some of the great RONI SIZE gigs over the years gratefully received!! Let's celebrate and reminisce on this shiny bouncy Saturday!

MUCH LOVE:

LITTLE MISS DMT <3
