NEW VIDEO: Lisa Maffia ft Tyler Daley and Romeo - Don't Stop The Music

As soon as I heard this track I knew I had to put it up on my blog. It was the opening line from Lisa Maffia 'please don't stop the muuusssiiccc' over the distorted melody that caught my attention and from there I was hooked.  'Dont Stop the Music' is a blend of old school garage and modern day urban party vibes.  This is easily a track that I can see being played in clubs thanks to the recognisable voices of Romeo and Tyler Daley who feature on the track.  This track makes me fall for Tyler Daley's talent that little bit more and who can compete with Romeo's instantly recognisable smooth tone, like butter wouldn't melt, it's so cool. The video's not bad either and complement's the track rather nicely with what looks like some real effort has been put in.  We even see a sneaky appearance from Ashley Walter's (Asher D).

UrbanVoice UK Opinion:  Yeah, this is not a bad comeback effort from both Romeo and Lisa Maffia. The track is not too serious and to put it simply, it's just a feel good tune, really.  Something that I would dance to in the clubs and would most likely get others up off the wall too.  I will definitely play this out loud while I am getting really to go out this weekend.

UrbanVoice UK Score:  3.75/5

BBC Radio 1 Hackney Weeekender

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHH YEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!! I'm a bit excited, can you tell? The reason being is that I have managed to secure tickets to BBC Radio 1's Hackney Weekender taking place in the Hackney Marshes on 23 & 24 June.  I waited patiently in the ticket queue on the internet for just under 1 hour until I got my ticket for the Sunday and the best part is that it is completely free, that's right NO charge, zilch, nada! Except for a £2.50 admin fee which can't even get you a kebab take away nowadays and considering it will cost more for me to actually get there and back on the tube this gig is an absolute bargain! The line up is below and whilst I'm gutted I didn't get tickets to see Jay-Z and Leona Lewis on the Saturday I will instead get to see the likes of Tinie Tempah whom I still haven't seen live, Wretch 32, Lana Del Ray, Jessie J and many more incredible acts. Let me know if you are going, what day and who you are most looking forward to seeing live?

One last thing, thank you to BBC Radio 1 for making this unique event happen!!! Bring on the summer.

NEW VIDEO: Showa Sho - Part Of The Plan

Yep, certain songs go down quite well on a spring afternoon like today and this next video is no exception. It's tunes like this, Showa Sho 'Part of the Plan', that makes me regret selling my car because right now if I had a car I would be blaring this out of my speakers.  Here is the offical video for Showa Sho's latest track 'Part of the Plan'. Despite looking so young in the video Showa Sho is mature in his lyrical approach and my favourite line is 'hardwork pays off, so try excel'. Real Talk! Don't forget to hit that 'like' button below if you're feeling it. Enjoy!

Videos and More - My March 2012 so far

Hey, hey!!! there's lots going on this month, so much so I'm finding it hard to keep up with my blog. March so far has been full of exciting and brand new tunes, video's, collaborations and lots of artists coming to my attention for the first time as well as MOVE IT 2012 (a dance exhibition). It must be something to do with the year 2012 and the Olympics taking place this summer because I am definitely feeling the love and  general air of proud to be British right now. Instead of knocking ourselves back in that typical British self depriciation way we are now self-promoting and believing in ourselves.  This brand new attitude seems to be paying off in relation to UK music as it seems that talent is boiling over the edge right now. Of course, UrbanVoice UK is always dedicated to supporting UK talent and so I'm liking this brand new attitude!

Happy New Year & New Years Resolutions

Hey, hey! How's your 2012 going so far?  I hope you had a lovely break for Christmas and New Year.  I saw in the New Year at Anaya Night Club in London for a Willy Wonka themed night and the DJ's were crazy!!! Peeps were dancing ALL night! There is no better way to start the new year other than with good friends and GOOD MUSIC!! 

We see the start of a New Year as a time for new resolutions, new hobbies, new friends, new job, new YOU.  We also see lots of new music starting the New Year off with a bang.  A few years ago I stopped making resolutions that I can't keep (like not eating chocolate for a whole year) as it just wasn't realistic.  I now only set achievable and realistic goals for myself that focus on things that i need to do before the year end.  I managed to meet all of my 5 goals that I set last year and it feels good, like you're actually accomplishing something.

One of my goals for 2012 is to get more involved with the urban music scene and to develop the UrbanVoice UK Blog.  With so much music from so many great artists rolling out all the time it's sometimes hard to keep up but I promise to do my best.  On that note, what will you see from UrbanVoice UK this year?
