Loki parts ways with Drop Zone Records

Its been spoke about alot on other forums and websites and mostly of what we have heard isnt really the whole truth of the situations, butthings seldom are these days. Firstly, Loki was signed to the label to release an EP with the hope of following it up with an album. Loki was free to record and work with anyone and any other label he liked. We valued Loki as an artist on the label but mostly we valued Loki as a good friend and a good person with his heart in the right place at all times. Loki decided that the music he had was better suited to be put on an album so instead of doing the EP he thought it was best to jump right into the album, which we agreed with. As it stood however, money was getting tighter and tighter and time was pasing by very quickly, too quickly for Loki's liking and admittedly too quickly for us at Drop Zone HQ. Funding was looked at from various small business outlets who let us down at each turn and so Loki felt rather than waiting longer to release something through Drop Zone Records he would be better looking at other labels and putting things out himself. As much as it was a pitty to lose him we agreed fully and respected his opinion. We do however hope to work with Loki in the future when more funds can be confirmed and made open to us. There is alot of work being done behind the scenes to confirm a larger more regualr income so we can support and promote acts exactly the way we want and exactly the way they deserve. Its far from over, infact we are only just starting.

Eastborn teamed up with the Glasgow Anti Racist Alliance (GARA) to work with Young Offenders at HMP Polmont.

During this years Black History month Eastborn was asked to go out to work with Young People that are currently serving time at HMP Polmont Young Offenders Institute. As part of a Hip Hop and Anti Racist Workshop program Eastborn went over Lyrics writing and stage performance, which in turn helps the Young People with their literacy and numeracy skills. This project and projects like these are close to Eastborn's heart as he said himself "its only one wrong move that you make in life can take ou the wrong route and end you up in prison, God knows I took the wrong route many times, but with a strong mother and father already in prison I had someone to pull me back out, these kids dont have that, but they do have alot of heart and I can see alot of me in them". If you want more information on the workshops we carry out, please dont hesitate to email us direct through this site.

Project Mayhem Creative Destruction Press Release

Project Mayhem comprise of the lyrical onslaught of Boomstick (born in Inverness and raised in Middlesbrough now Glasgow based) & DJ Leach - aka Versatile- (born and raised in Middlesbrough but is now based in York). Redragon (Spirits of Vengeance) completes the line up on production duties. Redragon himself was born and raised in Orkney but did stints in Dubai and Inverness before settling in Glasgow.

DJ Leach who rep's the 118 Soundsystem, Parthian Shot fam has known Boomstick since their early teens in Middlesbrough. Boomstick and Redragon wires crossed in Inverness and have known each other for five years now mashing up tracks and stage shows. Boomstick started writing at age seven and started going to battles at fifteen, this has not stopped since then. With his passion for battles he has lined up and knocked down some of the best and is a true asset to the Drop Zone Records role call. Collectively they have supported the likes of Princess Superstar and shared the stage with established UK Hip Hop artists Killa Kela, Part 2 (New Flesh for Old) and Roots Manuva.

Project Mayhem are currently working with various artists and producers nationwide Alpha-Betix (Thirty Tonne Slug Records), Fenna Rhodes and Beatboxer /producer Mowgli and more .DJ Leach is just set to release an EP with his other group 118 Soundsystem called "Beached" EP on Thirty Tonne Slug Records and will also feature heavily on Parthian Shot's forthcoming release "Year of the Rooster".

Although Redragon started out in a rock group "fiasco" he has always had a keen interest in Hip Hop and started emceeing in his late teens. Redragon is a man of many musical tastes and talents which more than stand out in his production. Still an Emcee but now more focussed on his production. Boomstick was reviewed to critical acclaim in Hip Hop Connection's demo section as ".dark witty lyrics with character and conviction delivered over supreme production finished off with razor sharp cuts.." took more than just HHC attention but that deep in the bunkers of Drop Zone Records, a flare was fired, the Enemies ran and Project Mayhem joined the growing ranks of the Drop Zone Records Legion.. Beware the second wave.

The Creative Destruction EP sees Project Mayhem link up with some of the best artists from both sides of the Atlantic for their debut EP, Iron Bridge from the UK and MUDD Canal from the USA both feature on this eight EP fight clubesque assault. From the melancholic lyrics to the down right nasty beats Project Mayhem hold the flag high for the north and wave it confidently as they race into battle, the only other flag that other Emcees can raise to Project Mayhem right now is a white one.

The EP will be available from all good Indi stores and online shops as well as available to download from iTunes, Napster, Yahoo Music and other regular digital download sites.
