2 multi award winning teams have joined forces to bring some fire to the re-ignited flames of UK garage. Given the thumbs up from one of the pioneers of Funk, George Clinton’s Parliament to use his classic 1970’s riff, which was also used in De La Soul’s hit “Me, Myself and I”. The guys have incorporated slick 2 step drums and bumping basslines and bought their feel good flavour to the melting pot.

Errol Reid delivering the hook has helped gain support on BBC Radio 1, Kiss FM, and Capital FM. DJ Target dropped the world exclusive first play when he was covering for Annie Mac, whilst DJ Luck and MC Neat were causing a storm representing UKG Allstars at Redbull’s super hype Culture Clash and Majestic jumped straight on board with early support at KISS.

Wideboys have been super busy remixing for the likes of Clean Bandit & Louisa Johnson, Pink, Lady Leshuur, MO, Sol Brothers, and Kathy Brown, whilst writing for their eagerly awaited debut album, with this being the first taster from the record.

Kanye West Interview With Annie Mac on BBC Radio 1

Kanye West

Kanye West called in to Annie Mac‘s BBC Radio 1 show for his most recent interview. Annie played Kanye’s “Fade” from The Life of Pablo as her “Hottest Record in the World”.

Kanye also discussed wanting to work with IKEA, possibly running for president, police violence, and the problems with his 2015 Glastonbury headlining performance. Listen to the interview above as he made a few interesting comments.

“People say, Kanye he’s so crazy, he’s this, he’s that. People call you crazy so much you start to believe it yourself”.

“People couldn’t give an F about how many cars you got any more. It’s about the way the music sounds, where you’re going, the experience you’re going to hanging out with your friends, the type clothes that you’re wearing – all of that’s art”.

“How about dreaming out loud? How about feeling that something can happen to make the world better and inspire people? Is that OK for one second?”
