Now we are really getting warmed up for 2010. Here is yet another World Exclusive from us.

Legendary UK Garage producer Duncan Powell has hit us up with a brand new 2010 mix. This mix is simply amazing, it completely consists of his own production. 2-Step’s back to the organic sound fused with the new influences the current Dubstep sound has attributed.

The outcome is exactly this… head banging beats derived from soulful chords and samples along side a large dose of sensual bass. Its simply beautiful music at its best.

Not only is this an Ego Thieves Exclusive, there are also tracks on here that nobody has heard yet. If your a fan of Dubfluence mixes, or a fan of the likes of Burial, Silkie etc this is for you. If you have no idea what I am talking about, this is simply music to encourage thought and to relax your mind too all at the same time.

Now Duncan has said he is taking a break from music. This would be a great shame and this mix proves it. So don’t worry I will be doing my best to bug him and make sure he realises there is a brand new market out there now and it has a worldwide audience. After all only 15% of our vast traffic is from my home, the UK.

You may notice on the cover as well the question, what do you call it? People are trying to seperate the sounds and the genres. It makes no difference if it’s Garage, 2 Step or Dubstep. There are two kinds of genres on Ego Thieves. Good music and bad music. The second one does not exist in my world.

Broken hearted is what I feel when I think of Hip Hop and its current state today. 20 something teens gassing about how amazing this dude is and that girl is. When I hear their tracks its the same lyrics, same concept, same story, same video, same flashing of cars and money and wealth. Wheres the story? What happened to people giving you their lives on pen and paper? OK Drake has some nice beats, but what the fuck is he talking about? Wheres the message? I live my life through music. Others used to express their life on music and became the greatest.

Biggie, 2 Pac etc. They are not the greatest for not reason. They didn’t get huge because they spoke about this girls back off for a whole track and sold out exactly who they were?!. They would tell you how they want to fuck girls of course, yet flip it and tell you how hard life is and expose their fears and their outlook on the world. Tell you how real love is, how being a gangsta is bullshit and how life is short.

Everyone now wants to just a have a track to sing along to in their car acting all fresh like they apart of something great. Your not. Hip Hop is dead, but it won’t stay like that forever. The revival is coming…

Don’t just flick through this video, don’t think oh I cant sing along there’s no chorus its shit or where’s lady Ga Ga’s verse. Listen to the words because after all, the pen is mightier than the sword.

I told you these would be coming thick and fast. But fear not, brand new collection of your fav mixes coming in the next week along with some special secret drop and details on bookings and how you can get Ego Thieves at your event.

First here is a very special mix and a birthday dedication to one of the best websites to grace the planet, Ninja Video. If you do not know Ninja Video, don’t worry your not alone, there are still many that don’t. I like that. But for those who do know, and like me, visit it several times a day for stupidly long periods of time watching anything from Ducktales and Thundercats to the latest US Uber shows like Big Bang Theory you know what I’m talking about.

Don’t simply write this site off for another stream-a-thon site trying to gain adsense money. There is a real community, there is real love and passion. I see it as, they do what we do but with TV, Film and Documentary. Any website that puts up a David Attenborough collection, a John Hughes dedication or the best that Asia cinema has to offer you haven’t seen yet is much more than just a group of people trying to throw pop ups at you and make that chump change.

The forum is vast, political, insightful and delightful (yeah I rhyme, what of it?). I have to admit I am not a member, not because I don’t want to be but life is my bitch and time is my enemy. So make sure you get over to Ninja Video and find out exactly why your Internet has been missing.

A huge birthday shout out to the whole Ninja Team (Believe me of recent, Ninja has saved my life too with the distraction) including the ever so graceful Phara for the passion. Cree8, Wadswerth, Afr1ka & SteveH for constantly making me laugh and telling everyone that if its not Lost don’t watch it and just the whole dam team.

This mix is full of what I see in websites like us and Ninja. Core Hip Hop sounds with an Abstract, Experimental and Electronica twist all wrapped up in vibes upon vibes. Flying Lotus, Nosaj Thing, Hudson Mohawke and more. Check inside the post for the tracklist and I hope you all enjoy.

It’s been long time coming I know. We did have a ringtones section on the old website and it went down very well. I have been busy figuring out how to improve it and make it easier to use and now, I have finally done that. So welcome to the new Egotones section.

As of now we have a selection straight from Cookie Monsta bringing some dirty bass on the go. All our ringtones are FREE but of course if you use and enjoy them make sure you go and support the artists and producers buy buying their tracks, following their twitters, joining their facebook pages and of course going to see them life in the flesh.

All the ringtones are in .mp3 format and you also get the iPhone version included for all my Apple fan whores. I will be adding more and more exclusive ringtones very soon, including some classics! So watch this space. Hope you all enjoy and we slyly launched it last night and its already had well over 200 downloads. So I expect to hear some bangers on the tube very soon…! Big ups to you all.

Dont forget Cookie Monsta is now on Twitter >> Follow Folllow
