From Melbourne, Australia, please welcome GRIPS & TONIC a hip-hop duo of JJ Peters and Louie Knuxx with their latest mixtape : Songs to F@#k Yout Hand to.
The duo has caught Misch Masch’s attention since JJ Peters, one of the members, was a former drummer of Misch Masch’s favorite Australian metal band called “I Killed The Prom Queen” (RIP) and currently a vocalist of Melbourne’s finest hardcore band named “Deez Nuts”.
With Louie Knuxx with his side, Misch Masch have seen how JJ Peters could go beyond his limit as a musician with heavy musical background.
The name of GRIPS & TONIC is inspired by GIN & TONIC, GRIPS & TONIC’s most favorite drink.

Misch Masch’s favourite label Мишка (read : mischka) is NYC based streetwear label located in Brooklyn.
The label has been releasing installments of its Keep Watch mix series roughly every month since July 2008.
The 12th installment was mixed by U.K. dubstep artist DJ Rusko.
It incorporates live tracks from his previous U.S. tour and includes tracks by Excision, Redlight, Jakes, Mr. Hudson, Caspa, Markomen, Tempa T, and Jaded Heart; also in the grab bag are old-schoolers Prodigy and Dire Straits.
Rusko’s unique mix of dark yet upbeat production fits the keep watch series of Мишка perfectly.

————————————————————————————–
Christopher Mercer, aka Rusko was born in Leeds to a musical family.
Whether it be his family’s pianos, guitars, banjos and saxophones…or the heavy reggae and dub sound systems of later years in Leeds, music has always been an integral part of Rusko’s life.
After graduating from Leeds university with a degree in musical performance, Rusko discovered the world of Dubstep through Sub Dub, where he connected with the sound and moved down to London to further explore his passion.
His sound appealed to many people outside of the dubstep world as his productions became more adventurous in formula, sound and energy.
His sound continues to develop with different BPM’s that lean to jungle, house, hip hop or electro, either way, whatever BPM or tempo, you can immediately tell a Rusko track.
Collabs with the likes of Diplo, Wiley and remixes for A-Trak & Adele, Rusko is one to keep an eye on.
Onwards, upwards and far beyond any producer could dream of. Rusko is like Dr Dre, Timbaland and Switch all rolled into one with a serious overdose of bass.
Misch Masch’s pick of Rusko’s track “Cockney Thug”
Misch Masch’s favorite remix of Kid Cudi’s “Day n Nite” by Rusko

On last Saturday, 31 July 2010, Singapore’s finest underground club HOME club had teamed up with Dj Marky (Innerground Records Brazil) and MC Stamina (UK) to celebrate the club’s fifth anniversary.
Marco Antonio Silva aka “MARKY MARK” aka DJ Marky is world-known best drum n bass DJ from UK since he moved from Sao Paulo, Brazil to London in 1997.
Apparently, DJ Marky’s stop for Asia only happened in Singapore to celebrate HOME club fifth anniversary, as we see many friends came from Indonesia and Malaysia.
After over a decade of constant tours and events, finally he was able to performed his drum n bass talent in Singapore and had showcased incredible performance by scratching a turntable while he hang it upside down.
Due to his performance with MC Stamina, the night was joyed with instrumental tracks and we was unable to hear our favorite work by DJ Marky.

For you who missed DJ Marky’s last performace or even do not know who DJ Marky is, here is one of his mixtape to fresh you up!
