Benga & Skream DJ at Hemp Works

Benga & Skream the front men and shapers of the fastly rising musical style from London, Dubstep, came by the Hemp Works to play a little DJ set!!  Playing and producing since they were 14 years old they are the pioneers of this new global movement. Needless to say, with some huge fans at the Hemp Works we were stoked Benga, Skream and Gomes came by to drop some tunes and buy some new gear, while in Amsterdam playing the sold out Paradiso on the Oi/Mosh nite!!

Bryan Gee Represent

Last week the legendary Bryan Gee and Grooverider were in town to play a gig. The next day Adi and Adam caught up with Bryan Gee at the Hemp Works, where he even played on the deks for a bit! Bryan Gee has been playing and producing soulfull and explosive d'n b tunes since the start of the nineties, and his label V-Recordings from Bristol is one of the biggest Drum'n Bass labels around.  About 10 years ago we had the honour to have him play at our former party Retox, it was mad!! listen to : http://www.myspace.com/thebryangee

Kyteman interview at Pauw & Witteman

Kyteman and his hip hop orchestra have played on all the major festivals, the man himself just came back from Thailand where he undertook a new musical adventure and he and his crew are booked to play at the massive concert hall Heineken Music Hall. Reasons enough to be invited to one of Hollands biggest talk shows!

Check out the Kyteman interview on YouTube and live performance of his new single Sorry at the talk show Pauw & Witteman. Yes, we know the interview is all in dutch, but if you listen close you'll pick up some English words in there! Or just fast forward to the performance. It's worth it!

Snoop Dogg meets up with Adam

Snoop's on another World Tour! He did a great show at the Lowlands Festival and also performed the next day at Rotterdams' main venue: WATT. You can find his full tour schedule on his website, including videos and photos of recent gigs.

When in town, Snoop Dogg usually meets up with HoodLambs' co-owner Adam Dunn to catch up and do some shopping (on TV Snoop wears a lot of designer wear, but in his leisure time you can often spot him in one of his HoodLamb jackets!). Check out this photo where Snoop's showing our new HoodLum design. It's gonna be a t-shirt featured in the Summer 2010 Collection!
