*** NEWS ***

GOOD news actually... We are back broadcasting from tomorrow Wednesday, at 9pm GMT, from soundclash.org you will have a pop-up with right links... otherwise go straight to soundclash.org/live at the indicated time...

On the menu is the usual mixin and matching of olde and nu sounds... on the news front, we will feature the current hit riddim from Massive B, the Jah Love riddim based on Yabby U anthemic "warning the nation". On the mashup tip we have some no-so new but well hard and upbeat mashups on Mr Oizo's Flat Eric and a Barrington Levi anthem in digi 2005 style. On the oldies point of view, we found at soul jazz the original to Dawn Penn's No No No, which is an umtempo rythm and blues track, killer. Plus a new reggae mix from myself, including several tunes on the Downsound label and god know what flex has in store, but he's been busy doing other things like...

THE PODCLASH
We don't even know what a Podcast was, and we don't use Apple corp I tunes things, but we thought some of you might do. So, although we are still on the testing phase, do go on Itunes or elsewhere where you find podcasts, and look for the "PODCLASH"!!
As i just discovered, a Podcast is something you subsribe to, so that everytime you connect you Ipod to your computer, it downloads the latest soundclash show without having to do anything...

HTML
Soon our website will be available in both Flash (present form) and HTML. Specially for those who haven't figured out you need to touch the tip of the moving record arm to scroll!!!
