"Who's the Keepers of the balance half the sun half the moon?"

Three gutter punks (and an elusive old author) from west london bring hip-hop back down to earth, and to its socio-political roots spitting it back out using live instruments and a scratch dj.


In the end times we live in emcees Madam Blahvatski and danDNA are the new Shuttle and Redgrave, if you appreciate poetry, or Paxman and Wark if your point of reference is late night TV.
The subject matters of their tracks are taken from such diverse topics as evolution, psychology and the occult, which are all pasted together referencing other sub-cultures such as psychedelic folk and punk rock, using a bibliography that any non-fiction writer would be proud of. All of this whilst playing guitars over the thumping old skool beats and cuts of turntablist Mr. Frendo. Both Madam Blahvatski and danDNA are disciples of the British psychologist and author Stan Gooch, who also features on some of their recordings, which are produced by Wayne Pennell (ex-Ursa).
