K Mag 90

June 2007

Summer days are fast approaching so here’s the lowdown on the latest issue of Kmag The Red issue now available to buy online at www.knowledgemag.co.uk or in all good newsagents and record shops…
His beats are so advanced that they make rookie producers want to give up, his record sales continue to confound the ‘vinyl is dead’ doomsayers, and with a live act that’s currently touring the world – TC is just irresistable in Drun & Bass right now. Plus to top it all of, the Bristol maestro’s got a new album coming out called “Evolution’.

You have TOV Music Group to thank for the CD glued to the front of the mag this month. Isn’t that nice? Kmag goes underground to find out what’s hot in the world of TOV’s flagship label Renegade Hardware in 2007.

They say good things come to those who wait and for J Majik and Wickaman, that statement couldn’t be any truer. Three years on from the when the idea was first mooted, their new album, ‘Crazy World’, is set to hit the streets this summer and Hertfordshire’s finest cannot wait to see people’s reactions to the culmination of all their hard work.

Ask someone outside the scene to name a D&B Dj and the likelihood is they will say Nicky Blackmarket. Since the early ‘90s, seeing that trademark torch in the mouth has been a guarantee that you are going t dance till you drop. Kmag caught up with the man himself to find out the secret of his longevity…

Kmag spends some time with the man they call Suv to find out about his new album in collaboration with Don-E, ‘Rhythm & Bass’, his new life in Spain and a whole load more.

As their third album, ‘Endangered Species’, gets ready to drop, Kmag picks the brain of Holland’s biggest D&B export Black Sun Empire.

Often flying under the radar, Kmag scopes out the flights of fancy from Bath-born Danny Byrd. We talk soul, sequencers and shenanigans.

We delve behind the scenes at some of the tireless labels that keep feeding you beats – Sudden Def and Gain/ G2 get put in the spotlight.

We also talk beatboxing with Shlomo, step into the murky arts of Khoma, as well as linking up with DJ Vadim, Ctrl Z and Mijatoho plus a host of others. If that isn’t enough then we also have all the latest games, books, websites, news, fashion, cool shit, DJ equipment, clubs, plus all we review the movies and DVD's to keep your inquisitive minds at bay for another month.
