Phan phic

DJ Phantasy is one of the true skool grrrrrrrreats from back in the day, yet how could this series of releases celebrating his 30 Years in Da Biz be anything but phormulaic phrozen-phuturism?

"First is a track called Hypocrite with Kanine, which is a techy banger. I have something with grime don ScruFizzer called Bad2DaBone and Sound Killa with my boy Shabba D ... There is a third part planned as well, plus some...  stuff I am working on with my bruva Macky Gee. And on top of that SaSaSaS have some releases planned too." 

Not his fault, though, not at all:  it's the surrounding culture that's changed.

A question of scenius depletion, not genius decay.

Cos even the names are shite these days (ScruFizzer!)

How it once was - from his first 3 Years in Da Bizness of Ruffness













Look, he deserves to make a living in perpetuity for having done those tunes.
