How did you start getting into Dillon and Lucas’ story and hollyoaks?

I knew about the conversion therapy sl just before Christmas, I think, correct me if I’m wrong. But I wasn’t like watching it intensively because I know that it was going to be hard to watch because how tense of a topic it is. But when the pride teaser/sneak peak came out that’s when I started watching hollyoaks because it was coming to an end.

oh, that's understandable. It would have been A LOT to watch it live.

I also got invested once I knew they ended up together, as I started watching after seeing their first kiss. I had seen gifs from them playing football together and them in the folly but it didn't spark my interest until they kissed.

I didn't know anything about their storyline before I started, other than the fact that they would kiss eventually. I didn't even know that lucas had a gay dad!

Actually That's not my name by The Ting tings released in 2007 is about a quiet trans/nb person so done with people constantly misgendering them and calling them by their dead names and then getting shy when someone calls them nice pet names.

London Hip Hop Playlist

Something that Brits really seem to go absolutely fucking nuts over are breakbeats. They singlehandedly invented jungle and drum n bass with them, as well as the genres of breakbeat and breakbeat hardcore as well, and out of breakbeat also came big beat, which was that fun party stuff that was huge in the late 90s and early 2000s that was made popular by people like Fatboy Slim, the Chemical Brothers, and The Prodigy.

But another thing that Brits naturally applied breakbeats to was hip hop, which, after it had managed to make its way from New York, led to the formation of a UK-specific genre in the late 80s called Britcore. And Britcore featured people (almost strictly blokes) spitting furiously over slammin' breakbeats. Basically, if you love old school rap records like I do, you are *really* missing out if you never messed with any of this stuff at all, because while the US continuously led the way, the UK was cooking up some seriously overlooked unique fire on the back-burner that never really managed to make it into the American hip hop diet.

So, here's a bunch of dope rap tunes from London that span from the late 80s to mid-90s, a lot of which are Britcore tracks. And my #1 favorite among all of these is, hands-down, "Doomsday of Rap," by Hijack, which isn't just the greatest Britcore song that I've ever heard, but is also, to me, just one of the best pieces of old school hip hop that's ever been made, period. In fact, this tune, which lays ferociously raw lyrics over a sample of the Incredible Bongo Band's iconic "Apache," actually helped Hijack to catch the ear of none other than Ice-T, who then signed them to his own Rhyme Syndicate label. And "Doomsday of Rap" is probably one of the least obscure songs among this set here, but considering just how irresistibly good it is, a Spotify play count of around 75,200 still feels a bit low.

Another banger on here, though, which does have an obscenely low play count is Kobalt 60's "Kaos From Order," which seems to sample its breakbeat from Tom Jones' "Looking Out My Window," and also adds these forceful "ba-ba-ba-ba" male vocals in the second verse too. And I have no idea where those specific vocals come from, but they really enhance this whole track, overall, which is only sitting at a little under 1,900 total plays.

I also included a couple cuts from a slick-tongued ragga hip hop star originally from Jamaica named Daddy Freddy, too, who moved to London and then made some choice tracks, like "Go Freddy Go" and "Haul & Pull." The version of "Go Freddy Go" that I've added has about 16,700 plays, and a remix of "Haul & Pull" that was done by Bobby Konders has about 32,900.

This playlist is ordered as chronologically as possible.

Lady Sugar Sweet - "Sugar Sweet" Thrashpack - "Trigger Happy" Hijack - "Doomsday of Rap" MC Duke - "I'm Riffin" MC Duke - "Gotta Get Your Own" Hardnoise - "Untitled" SL Troopers - "Movement" Standing Ovation - "Onslaught" Daddy Freddy - "Go Freddy Go" The 3 Knights - "Burial Proceedings" Militant Posture - "Dawn of Terror" Brothers on Organised Missions - "B.O.O.M." Brothers on Organised Missions - "Delivering the Answer" Kobalt 60 - "Kaos From Order" Daddy Freddy - "Haul & Pull" Killa Instinct - "Un-United Kingdom"

And, of course, there's a YouTube version of this playlist too, which includes a couple more gems that aren't on Spotify, like a tune that's actually not Britcore, but takes a page out of Pete Rock's relaxational jazz-rap stylebook instead: 499's "Don't Categorise Me," which has around 11,600 plays across a bunch of different uploads on YouTube.

Demon Boyz - "Rougher Than an Animal" 499 - "Don't Categorise Me"

And this playlist is on YouTube Music as well.

So, with the unveiling of this playlist, we start with 68 minutes worth of tunes on Spotify, and 78 minutes over on YouTube. And because the YouTube version has that 499 track, I definitely recommend you check out that version rather than the Spotify one 😊.

Enjoy!

More to come, eventually. Stay tuned!

Is Louis in any of your Daily Mixes on Spotify? He's not in my top 3 and the one that he is on is like all more top 40 pop leaning artists which I hardly listen to. My playlists mix brit pop, pop rock, indie pop, and Louis and yet he doesn't show up in any Daily Mix with those artists. How do I get the Spotify algorithm powers that be to fix this? It isn't for lack of listening to Louis, that's for sure.

I had to take the bus and not the train back to [redacted] where uni is from my parents’ home, and at first I was like ah this is cool I’m listening to classic rock while staring out the window of the long distance bus. But then halfway through I was like okay too many things are new and different and it’s giving me a panic attack and it only eased up once I got home and had dinner at this place I always go to (they had my order memorised :) ) and got home and lay in my bed and listened to Bullets and I’m like yeah okay maybe my autism does affect me

[bugsbutch]

the hardest part of making a playlist is spreading the Pet Shop Boys songs apart so it's not too obvious that there are too many of them
