DJ Shadow and his partner played at the Roundhouse in Chalk Farm and they proved that when it comes to other people's music they have still got it!!! They say deejaying should be seen as a science and with eight turntables, two loop effect pedals, four hands and hundreds of seven-inch records, the Californian pair took us on a two-hour rollercoaster ride through all of music.
We heard Hip Hop, Soul, Doo wop and Samba. They rocked the house and showed us that they are a match made in heaven (when it comes to deejaying that is!!!!)
Intrigue gave the pair a generous four stars!!

Mr.Drastik: The Gladiator's Anthem cd (MDM)
Mr. Drastik has been building a rep on the UK scene for a few years now and this is his personal take on Hip Hop. He delivers his bars well and takes us on a journey although his slight american accent does sometimes make us forget he hails from North West London. The production is tight and the lyrics catchy and sometimes poignant. Do we think it is worth grabbing a copy? Well yeah!! Rep the UK and cop one! Intrigue recommendation.

Leona Lewis: Better In Time/Footprints In The Sand
This is double A side is the Sport Relief official song and we can officially say it is not as good "Bleeding Love" Both songs are very predictable and although her voice is unmistakably out of this world. The songs are much to be desired, the charitable element will ensure this single is a hit but we don't think there is much to smile about when it comes to this. We give this dreary single a dreary 2 stars. Sorry Leona! Fantastic voice, boring predictable material.
