New Year New Look

Greetings everyone, been mad slack the last year with this blog, life def. caught up with me last year so never got to post as much as I wanted. Hopefully this year will be a different story. I'm starting up two new podcasts which will follow soon. Jay's Rebel Rockers which will be hosted by the great Ricky Ranking and feature classic Rockers & Rub A Dub from the 70's & 80's. DJ Diablo's Future Flashbacks which will be a classic series of golden age Hip Hop from the 80's and 90's. I hope to upload the first instalment very soon. One Love

DJ Diablo & Tuggawar "Hackney Kingz"

Been very busy recording this new Hip Hop mixtape/album with the heavy hitting MC outta Hackney Tuggawar. I've remixed his latest & classic cuts over new underground Hip Hop beats. After making the first few cuts I realised that I've made a classic! Hear it here on Mixcloud stream & download off the Dat Piff link. Expect Volume 2 coming early in the new year. Enjoy!

Slacking....

Been a long time since I posted anything on here due to family commitments, sorry to all my followers who had been expecting lots of summer goodies, hopefully I'll rectify this over the winter months. One Love.

2016 News....

It's been a minute since I posted anything up on here but I've been really busy in the Rebel Lab working on new projects and alot of mixes. Look out for new Hip Hop Podcasts and Rebel Eye Radio Shows dropping soon, plus I'm gonna been dropping a special Blendz mix that I did for my homie DJ Wreck's show on Itch Fm. Also the main project I've been working on is with my long time collabro Tuggawar on a concept mixtape/album called "Hackney Kingz" that's gonna be out by the end of this month. Hope you enjoy the forthcoming music. Stay Blessed!
