So, you like my new bike then, huh? Brand new Kawasaki ER6-n, 650cc, top speed of about 140mph with the design influenced and inspired by Japanese war-masks. Sick motorcycles are my favourite toys in this life and if ever I get a minute free when the sun’s blazin', you'll find me up at my favourite petrolheads ghetto The Ace Cafe on the North Circular Road in London, hangin' with my boys Scatta and Lee, and watching Alex and the AWOL stunt kruz showin' off mad-skills in front of an audience of thousands. Badman MC JME says I should have starred in 'Kill Bill'. I told him, "I taught Uma everything she knows..."If you're into racing, I guess you should know that I'll be hosting the 2006 World Superbike Championship series on TV for British Eurosport, beginning April 23.
http://www.crash.net/ is the best source to plunder all racing info you need. Noisia, (ace drum and bass three-piece from Gronegen) want me to teach 'em how to ride dirt bikes this summer so they can ride to all their gigs across the fields and scream up to the front of the guest-list queue, tyres smokin', covered in filth from head-to-toe. It's a strong look. Check these boyz, they’re seriously gifted:
www.noisia.nl/Professionally and emotionally, the greatest moment of 2006 has to be the Dubstep Wars show we threw down on my Radio One show the Breezeblock in January - no contest. We had such unique, incendiary, and deeply inspirational back-to-back sets from Digital Mystikz, Skream, Kode 9 and Space Ape, Vex'd, Hatcha and Crazy D, Loefah and Sgt Pokes and Distance... and word from playaz at the heart of the scene in the UK and around the globe talking about their passion for the sound. We've had a lot of love for Breezeblock Specials in the past, but I have never in the seven year history of the show seen a global response as far-reaching and big as this... not ever. Check out the Dubstep Forum, there are 12,000 hits about the show on this thread:

All the love is such a great testimony to the raw energy and bountiful talent inside dubstep and I feel blessed to have been able to capture a flava of it at the flash-point of this wildly inspirational scene. I'll carry this experience with me for all time, as I know all the artists who played for us will... You can see beautiful pictures documenting the night by Infinite at:
www.drumzofthesouth.com/Dubstep Warz was a statement of intent and it was just the beginning for the Breezeblock in '06, we'll be rolling out so much more through the year. Boxcutter has played already, Burial is in the frame for a mix in March and there's a major summer event on the drawing board too. Keep it locked 1am-3am Monday night -Tuesday morning. Breezeblock BBC Radio1.

Loefah and The Bug have asked me to play at their new club Bash which fills me with equal parts terror and delight when you look at the line-up. Residents are Andrew Weatherall, Adrian Sherwood, Coki and Mala from Digital Mystikz, Newflesh, DJ Rupture, Tayo, Kode 9 , The Deciples, Seamus and The Rootsman. Ras B, Ricky Ranking, Sgt Pokes and Warrior Queen host. Bash takes play every last Thursday at Plastic People in Shoreditch. You know that next to the DMZ dances and raves, Bash has all the makings of the heaviest night of the year...
