Theory 77

Theory Thursday (Extra Explicit Version)

Theory is still consistently killing it. I’m all over this video mash up. I’ve had a few Thursday beers so I’m not much of a wordsmith. Just watch it and listen. Sick as always. Special guest appearance by my man Bub.

Theory Thursday (Parental Advisory Version)

A wondermental fundamental killer for the hell of it…. More madness from the man like Mike. This is not only hilarious it’s pretty explicit so watch at your own risk, and try to keep up. I bet you can’t.

Theory 77′s Radio Rust Podcast ‘Halloween’

Hit me on the head, it’s Theory 77′s Halloween Podcast. There’s something a little NSFW on this podcast from Theory himself, so turn it up loud. Get well soon Mike.

Scratch Practice with Theory 77

The consistently prolific Theory 77 has been a well known face and character in Southsea for many, many years and although he’s now living down the road in Brighton, he still holds strong connections to the island. Rather than wax lyrical about Mike I’ll let his work do the talking so to say. Those that know him are aware, and those that don’t should take five and check him out.

Head over to www.nofrillsrecords.co.uk for all you need to know including FREE MP3s. Hook up on Facebook, check out the Theory 77 Podcasts and watch more videos over at YouTube. More than enough to keep you from doing any work for a while.

“Theory 77 is a Turntablist/battle DJ, Producer and MC/poet based in Brighton, East Sussex. Described by John Peel as “Astonishing”, Theory 77’s musical style is inspired by lo-fi Folk, Delta Blues, ‘60’s Pysch and the original elements of old school hiphop. Theory 77 formally known as “Theory” In 2009, after working under the name “Theory” since 1994, Theory 77 decided to change his name due to the amount of other artists working under the same alias.”

Features

PRIMARY – Extended & Improved

We have some great news about our PRIMARY phonography exhibition (find out all the details here) that we can now announce:

- The deadline for submissions has now been extended to Sunday 4th March. We have had some incredible submissions but want to set aside more time to make the exhibition something really special.

- The competition is now open to up to 10 submissions from each individual. With the ability to capture many photos on your phone over the next two months we we want you to not feel restricted to just three. The same rules apply about the photos conforming to compositions using the primary colours though. If you have already submitted feel free to send more photos over as and when you please.

- The exhibition will be hosted by Albert Road’s own Bonzo Studio who are also partnering up with us in the creation of the exhibition space. More news on this soon!

- Finally, we will be running a competition as part of the exhibition where the best three photos submitted will win some incredible prizes. We will be announcing the prizes available very soon but got to say, these will be the best prize haul we have ever offered.

- We will be putting together a poster for the exhibition that will be on sale on the opening night. The poster will feature some of the best submissions and all profits from the sales will go to a local charity (details to follow soon). Due to this we need to say that any photos submitted to PRIMARY will involve you giving us permission to use them for commercial purposes, if you do not want your photo used in this way simply let us know via email.

Well, that is it for now! We really hope to drum up as much coverage locally for PRIMARY in the next couple of months so if you could Facebook/Tweet/+1 about the exhibition we would really appreciate it. We would love this exhibition to be a real reflection of the whole population of Portsmouth with everyone taking part and feeling involved.

It’s going to be a Strong Movember – Closed at £725

Righto chaps, it’s time to clean shave your boat race and get that mighty moustache on the grow in support of Movember for The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. For 30 days of November you can help support and raise awareness through selflessly parading your top lip for charity.

You can sign up yourself, as I’m sure many of you already have, or you can join the Strong Island team and seek out sponsorship as a team. Through the Strong Island Movember page you can ask people to join the group, make donations, upload photos and post updates via the MoSpace page, Facebook and Twitter.

The funds raised in the UK support the number one and two male specific cancers – prostate and testicular cancer. The funds raised are directed to programmes run directly by Movember and our men’s health partners, The Prostate Cancer Charity and the Institute of Cancer Research. Together, these channels work together to ensure that Movember funds are supporting a broad range of innovative, world-class programmes in line with our strategic goals in the areas of awareness and education, survivorship and research.
