Stand

H2Z#6… Stand… is the sixth episode of The Hip Hop Zone podcast. H2Z is one of the podcasts from Pete Cogle's Podcast Factory and is well worth investigating, even if you think you don't like hip hop. Don't think it's got anything to do with mainstream gangsta bollocks, bitches and hoes, bullshit and bling rap - this is more often interesting, funky, intriguing instrumental grooves from artists you'll never have heard of but should have. If there are raps, they're more likely to be intelligent and actually have something to say. Tunes are from all around the world, too - the American hip hop hegemony does not rule here!

London riots and the music industry

I live in Croydon, large areas of which were devastated by riots yesterday. When I say riots, I mean vandalism and looting on a large scale by uneducated thick-as-a-ditch morons.

It happened all over London and in other parts of the UK too. People lost businesses and their homes. I wish nothing but bad upon the selfish chav scum rioters.

Many independent record labels lost all their stock in a fire at a distribution warehouse in north London. A building in Enfield, owned by Sony DADC and holding stock for distributors The Pias Group, was burned to the ground. Pias is the UK's largest independent sales, marketing and distribution company.

Beggars Banquet Group chairman Martin Mills confirmed his group had stock at the site, but told Music Week that he and other larger labels would be less affected by the disaster than smaller counterparts because they carried stock in other locations. Nevertheless, he called the latest setback for the indie sector 'horrible, horrible' and added that many labels would also now face manufacturing issues to replenish destroyed stock.

A statement from Pias says: 'There was a fire last night at the SonyDADC warehouse which services the physical distribution for Pias in the UK and Ireland. Pias is working closely with SonyDADC who are implementing their emergency plans. Pias's UK offices in London and all other areas of our business are unaffected. More information will be communicated shortly to all our labels and partners.'

Several smaller labels aren't covered by insurance for events like this and it could lead to their inability to carry on trading.

MIA apparently tweeted: im going down to the riots to hand out tea and mars bars #london, provoking anger from many of her followers before the comment subsequently appeared to be taken down from her Twitter account. What an idiot.I'm very disappointed in her - I thought she was more intelligent than that.

This is a tragedy for many people as I said and the fact that it will also probably kill several small record labels just adds to the pain of it all.

The full list of labels distributed by Pias is as follows:

Dust Particles - Volume One

Dust Particles - Volume One is the first release from a new netlabel, Angel Dust Records, founded by legendary podcaster, Pete Cogle.



Angel Dust Records will specialise in the bass-heavy end of the musical spectrum, encompassing dub, dubstep, breakbeat, drum and bass, hip-hop and all kinds of bass-oriented electronica. Which means we'll like it!

We like it already, though, because Dust Particles - Volume One includes one of our tunes, Hunter's Moon, from our recent album Barbary Lion.

They say: Like a gathering of old friends, celebrating the birth of a new child, we bring you 6 tracks of dub and dubstep in this EP: Dust Particles - Volume One – the first release from Angel Dust Records. Comprising some of the best dub and dubstep tracks played on The Dub Zone and The Dub Step Zone podcasts this is our magnum opus: a 6-track EP of killer tunes to brighten up your day.
