Watch the video
I saw "South Coast" a documentary about Brighton (UK)'s hip hop community by Will Jewell last saturday night at the Jerusalem Cinematheque as part of the British Film Festival. I thought the film was a great balance of original roots of hip hop, respecting the US origins, whilst highlighting the original crews from the local Brighton community and featuring some of the up & coming artists also. a great snap shot into Brighton hip hop. it feels similar to Australian hip hop in some ways.
I wrote some names during the film so I could find out about them later. (hard to read my writing so hopefully I have these right!)
- poets vs MC night / battle
- young joe
- koaste - great beats and words about local issues / life
- cassiah (?) and danny - the park scene in the film
- deliverance
- brighton graf jam
- monkey sons
- remark
- slip jam - regular venue for around 5.5 years
- mc jam
- buzz
- brighton hip hop festival
- req 1
from what I can gather, their community is really healthy. they seem to have a few crews / people who are organising regular gigs & festivals. having a regular venue helps build a community I think, so they're lucky in that regard. and it seemed like a friendlier atmosphere as compared to london - people in the film commented on this as well. more laid back / beach town and being a smaller city I suppose.
after the film I asked Will if he could say something to the Australians as I'd upload it to show some of them so there's a message from him (the director) at the end.
there's a couple of minutes of the film shot whilst viewing it - sorry about the quality & fact this is pirated. there's hebrew subtitles overlayed.

I recorded the directors talk after the film also - sorry about the audio quality - this is recorded on my phone camera. I recorded video but the zoom/quality is pretty bad so I just extracted the audio.

KOG 30/10/2003 phone interview with Mark from KOG label.
http://www.kog.co.nz/
this is the full transcript for reference. so excuse the ums & ahhs & spelling / transcription errors and incoherency on my part.. I had a shorter, edited version on Pulse Radio site a few years back but I've lost the copy and the content's changed on their site now.
artist / DJ / project name:
Mark Pollard / Stealth Magazine
are you a currently active artist / DJ / project?:
yes
discography / releases:
Issue 1 to Issue 14 :)
bio - short:
hip hop magazine (Stealth Magazine) publisher, writer, event organiser
Any favourite artists, influential DJs or must-have labels?:
Too many too many. Most of the stuff I personally like I try to cover in the magazine so if you go through our back issues that will give you a partial indication.
Are you documenting / archiving your music / performances. If so, how?:
Yes – each issue:) I have a tonne of MDs, cassettes and reel-to-reels of interviews I've done over the years. I want to get them online one day.
How would you describe your style of writing music / musical / artistic policy?:
We cover hip hop and artists from around the world who understand and take an interest in the culture they are involved in.
What are your thoughts on the Australian music community?:
Not sure about non-hip hop but the hip hop community is pretty cool. It used to get a bit feisty but generally speaking there are people you can connect with who are building with a similar vision and it just feels like Voltron pushing down barriers. It’s pretty cool to be a part of.
What are your thoughts on the internet & music / filesharing / DRM etc?:
It isn't going to go away. It just means that smart groups will find a way to use it to their advantage and explore other revenue streams that they can generate.
What excites you now?:
The quality of local hip hop is just getting better across the board. It used to be about a handful of the major cities in Australia. Now there are crews doing really good stuff all over the place. It's inspiring.
Which directions do you think your style of music / project will take in the future?:
For the mag – more of the same, just better, more detailed, more original.
