Big bad and heavy! The one and only DJ Zinc delivers an awesome Essential Mix of what he has coined as ‘Crack House’ (surprisingly the BBC haven’t censored the term). Grab this mix for its great highlights, one of which is around the 0:39:30 mark into the mix. You’ll know.

Scratcha DVA should be no stranger to fans of London’s premier underground station Rinse FM. He’s the voice behind the Grimey Breakfast Show and he’s a badman producer who’s unleashed some of grime’s anthems like the seminal Nasty Nast Nasty, Bullet A Go Fly and Kill All A Dem. We can chat all you want about the man’s grime, but it’s the Funky bits that he’s getting a lot of deserved praise for these days! I caught up with him for a series of silly questions, so there we go:

1. Crackhouse, Powerhouse, Funkstep. Where did all this come from?

Crack House is somefing Zinc has been working on for a while, I like it a lot but I heard you have to smoke an ounce of crack before he considers bringin u in.
Yeah Power House is a series of free mix cds and downloads I do with diffrent types of House on. I will be mixing Vol4 soon. Funkstep WAS the name of Roskas new album.

2. Which CDs would you really miss if I came round and CLEARED! your CD rack?

Bruv! I know what that’s like. My ex disposed of all my music once. Dubplates an evrything.
If u done a Tempa T in my house I would most miss my classic Brandy album or my Foreign Exchange album.

3. What would everyone wear if it was up to you to decide a Rinse HQ dress code?

I would make evryone wear boob tubes, Tu tu’s and wet look leggings. Especially Marcus Nasty and Geeneus to bring out there feminine side abit more.

4. Top 5 specs on the market right now?

BRUV! I’ve found a new shop for specs. So watch dis space. But the 1s on Calvin Harris’s album cover I still can’t find and Rhiannas black ones. They’re sick!

5. When’s the Natty riddim out and what’s on the flip may I ask?

Natty will hopefully be out on Hyperdub Dec/Jan. Problem is my G5 blew up so I’m struggling to get a b side finished and even finishing the final mix of Natty. Kode gave me a deadline which actually ends in 2days. Oh shit!
