no.
how about you introduce yourself to the forum, before we take the time out to "EXPLAIN" something as subjective as mc'ing to you. its not exactly the way forward to make explanation demands, when you've got 6 posts on this site.
a little bit more tact please.
Apologies if that's the way you see it. I wasn't aware that internet forums required an "introduction". Mine's easy - Music lover since discovered T Rex in the mid-70s and follower of John Peel (RIP) since then and Mary-Anne Hobbs since the beginning of the Breezeblock. Collect shitloads of music on all formats and know what I like.
My post was more light-hearted than really a "demand", but I'd just finished listening to Cyrus's set and was annoyed that I couldn't concentrate on the music because of the inane stuff going on over the top.
Anyway, isn't someone asking an "challenging" question a far more useful contribution to a forum than a load of one line comments like "massive", "sick", "awsome"
et al. If not, I guess I was asking my question on the wrong website.

An excellent 2hrs of talent,each artist repped their sound honestly with no one goin for cheap thrills.
A good cross section of the scene from the future funk of Jokers mix to Starkeys shock tactics thru Antisocials smooth linear depth.
Great to hear the art of the DJ was represented too with Chef comin over like a dubstep Jeff Mills and Oneman gettin in the zone proper (not easy in 15 mins under pressure).
U gotta remember Radio 1 (love it or loath it) is a national radio station and this kind of exposure is rarely given so freely to an underground scene.It can only serve to bring more passengers onboard the mad bass train.
Respect to all involved.

How many times have we had the MC flow YES or NO debate now?
Seriously, if you're asking questions on the value of MC'ing, there's got to be 30+ threads you could look through in the tomes of forum past.
OR you could just accept it is 110% a part of this music and not going to change.
(and I think the vast majority of people love the mc's, especially pokes. get used to it)

wow that is a really apt comparison! it's the way he layers those beats and weaves the samples in and out of the mix ...

Mmm I'm beginnin to think the same, that Toasty tune, Lickable is it?...fuuuckin amazin.
Hmm, are you sure you don't mean the track after that, Point B's E-Blade? The 2-step number with the nostalgic 8-bit synth line and the pitched up girl-next-door vocal slice. It's lush.

part 1 had no files in it and part 2 has expired. any chance of a re-up? many thanks in advance.

just checked, part 2 hasn't expired. you have to download both, and then unrar them together. the individual rars might look like they haven't got any files in them, but winrar puts it all back together.
