Aqua Dust: industrial mop conditioner, some old cobblers to do with ‘water spirits’ in an online offshoot of geekfest Minecraft, an allegedly highly versatile shade of grey modellers’ paint or the latest musical effort from highly respected Bristol bass music don, Parker? Unbelievably, it is all of the above, though the monkey only gives a monkeys about the last one. Yes, the return

RIDDIM FRUIT: Bristol Fashion EP (2013)
Rating: 
As the Riddim Fruit label are well aware, Bristol has a reputation of being something of a world centre of bass music. The Wild Bunch, Massive Attack, Smith & Mighty, Portishead, Roni Size and Full Cycle, a constant Jamaican dancehall presence since the sixties – indeed you might imagine that life in the monkey’s hometown permanently chugs along to a seismic rumble. That’s all bollocks of course, I definitely remember a

THE BEEKEEPERS: Queen Bee – Single (2011) + Video
Queen Bee is the latest single from the recently released Beekeepers LP Apiculture and a bit of a banger. Musically coming off like a collision of The Freestylers and The Heavy, it finds rapper Mystro exploring the growing distance between him and the missus (“Oh I should have put a ring on it?/ Well, you’re lucky if I even put a fake bit of bling on it”) and one of the album’s highlights

PARKER: ‘Iron Mandem’ – Free download + video
Parker’s been at it again. ‘At what?’ you ask. The dubstep mash-up thing of course as he follows up the rather popular Where’s My Monkey with Iron Mandem which manages to fit both Ozzy and Busta over a massive dubstep riddim. Check Parker’s soundcloud for what the great and good are saying about it – normally I’d be with Jon Kennedy but maybe I’m coming around a bit. If anyone is going to turn the monkey onto dubstep, it’ll be Parker.
