Decks In The City
This month Emma does her level best not to
spontaneously combust on her bed
WELL IT SEEMS WE are not alone, even
our bodily parts have got their problems
and apparently my Sacral joint (in the
hip) is insecure. Can you believe it? My
hip is having a moment of low selfesteem and not only is it very painful it’s
stopping me from doing my show on
Choice, most of my bookings and in general anything interesting. I’ve now been
in what I call ‘No Fun Zone’ since July
and it has been doing my head in! After
the lowest point of my life, which was

asking for wheelchair assistance at
Stockholm airport in October. I was
referred to one of the top Physio’s in the
country and he told me I have an unsecure Sacral Joint, which means its
slipped out of place. Anyway, I hope by
the time this issue is printed I’ll get my
swagger back, but until then Karl Brown
is covering my show on Choice FM and if
you see me limping ya know why!
Being a soldier and stocking up on
the highest strength painkillers, I’ve man-
around there’s something for every
urban music taste. In the Main Room
playing a mixture of old and new skool
UK garage I’ll be alongside EZ,
Masterstepz, Artful Dodger and Femme
Fatale with MC’s B Live, Kofi B, Rankin
and Kie, then in the Bar Room it’s Da
Firin Squad, Semtex, Dodge, Nick Smood
and MC Clarky. Firin Squad and Semtex
are exclusive to Smoove all night and
Semtex’s set will be broadcast live on
Radio 1Xtra. And for those who know
Ras Kwame, Diggz and Skinz will be
dropping pure R&B Club Classics in the
baby box. If you ain’t got your tickets yet,

Now I know you’ll be wanting to
look your hottest for all the festive
party’s so why not treat yourself and get
down to the best Hair Salon in the world,
yes that’s a big statement, but it’s TRUE!
It’s called Daniel Hersheson on Conduit
Street (next to Vivienne Westwood) in
the West End of London. Don’t be surprised if you catch a model or celeb as it’s
a favourite with the rich and famous and
regulars are Elle McPherson, Kylie and
Victoria Beckham. Whether it’s to get a
cut, colour, beauty treatment or manicure it’s a luxury experience and ladies if
you want to give your man a surprise get
a Brazillian or fantasy wax (where your
pubes are shaped and coloured into a
heart) which is also what the salon is
famous for. For more traditional hairdos
I recommend Elliot Bute for hair styling
followed by Maxine for colour, they
always sort out my barnet
anyway! For more info call

Take Control and will be released in

I can’t wait to get my paws on the
fifth album from one of my fave artist’s
Missy Elliott. Entitled This Is Not A Test
it’s scheduled for release on November
24. The album features production and
guest appearances from Jay-Z, Fabolous,
Elephant Man, Monica and Timbaland to
name a few and some of the tracks are
produced by Missy herself. The first
single Pass That Dutch is already on
aged to do a few bookings and one party
