BRISTOL'S MIXTAPE
BBC RADIO 1XtraのRAS KWAMEの番組『HOMEGROWN』の2005年の企画「UK Mixtape Challenge」。バーミンガム/ブライトン/ブリストル/マンチェスターに1XtraのDJ(順にDEV/TWIN B/JENNA G/SEANI B)を送り、それぞれの街の未知の才能を集めた約10分のミックス・テープを作り、その成果を競うというもので、ブリストルが堂々の優勝。その音源を公式サイト掲載の写真&テキストと併せて紹介。
JENNA Gがいろんな音源(トラック/MC)を集め、DJ DAZEEとDISMISS(DUTTY GIRL)がミックス。メインでマイクを握るのはMADLOX。同じ“HOMEGROWN”繋がりもありますが、ノリとしてはDJ DIEやSKITZのMIXにも通じる勢いがあります。

Jenna leaves for Bristol - truly ready to Merc it!

DJ Die points out the hotspots for Jenna to check out. Well that's one way of doing it.

At a local school DJ Roneo, who bears a striking resemblance to 1Xtra's Twin B, chats to Jenna about producing and DJing Grime in Bristol...

School’s out so it’s round to Roughcut’s house for a cuppa and some advice from Jakes.

DJs Nick & Mark (Ringleader) from internet station, Grand Theft Audio, with station manager Scott, broadcasting from Nick's bedroom.

Then it's off to BBC Bristol to chat street politics with K-Ners.

Inside Epidemics Crew, Lean(註:Ben Westbeech) & Sirplus, Buggsy and Peter from the legendary Smith & Mighty all came to show their skills on the mixtape... the guy in the front didn't make the cut... he was a bit flat!

Back on the road, Jenna stops off at Genesis record shop and meets up with local roots producer / DJ Stryder and gets to hear some hot freestyle from the guys from Urban Slash Label.

Clipz talks through what he's done with Jenna's track.

She drops the track off to Dutty Gals, Dazee and Dismiss, who get to work on our mixtape.

Had to test the DnB remix of the 1Xtra track out in a club, so we headed to new night, Native. It's Sophie & Sirplus (again!). Is that who I think it is behind them?

John from Distorted Minds plays the Full Cycle version of the 1Xtra track at the end of the night.

Jakes spits over the tune...

... and the crowd go wild - especially the blonde bloke at the front!

Cheba, a Bristol artist, made us this heavy mixtape cover to represent all we brought back from Bristol.
