Monday 16 May 2016
reading time: min, words
It's all Nottingham and it's all hot in them. You get us. With Hvman Teeth, Cyclonix, Mizzred, Giant Head, Mez, Ady Suleiman, Diablo Furs and The Tangents



Hvman Teeth - No Control
A cathartic expulsion of bile over brutal and stop-start pulverising guitars. Like putting your head through a meat grinder, but less deadly and way more pleasurable.

CyclonixMental By Rights
Red Rackem’s Smugglers Inn series of 12”s continues at pace with squiggly house-head Cyclonix representing Notts on the first side of Voyage 3.

Mizzred - Don’t Rhyme (Caught In The Midlands)
Confusingly, there’s loads of rhyming in this shoulder-popping hip hopping announcement on to the Notts scene.

Giant Head - Haunting Ex (feat. Katy Cotterell)
Say that you were to be haunted by an ex, there would be no better soundtrack than this creepy weirdo workout that feels like it’s been ripped from an old eighties B-movie VHS.

Mez - Nottingham (Rmx V2.0)
If this is version two, you’ve got to wonder how many other versions there are of this hyperactive grime paen to the emcee’s hometown. Or perhaps you don’t...

Ady Suleiman - Work/IN2 (Rihanna/WSTRN Mashup) | Mahogany Session
Skillfully mashing up the r & b duo’s Top 10 hit and the Bajan badass’ mega-smash with shamefully silky results.

Diablofurs - Sweet Janine
The only Janine that I can think of is that Janine from Eastenders who was a right piece of work, anything but ‘sweet’. I think she pushed Pat Butcher down a hill, if memory serves me right...

The Tangents - Fall Apart
Count how many times the singer switches from not wearing a hoody to wearing a hoody throughout the duration of the video. Our advice: sack the editor, lads.
