Well, its that festive time of year again and we here at the Mighty Atom offices wish all of you out there a mightilly merry christmas which much drinking and festivities. We were hoping to emulate our part extravaganza of 1999, but alas we have been unable to secure a suitable venue on a suitable night. But next year...

The Liberty 37 tour is drawing to a close this year. They have a final show at the Rocksound Christmas party in Sheffield. We will all be there as it promises to be a stormer of a night with Earthtone9, Skith and Forever Until October.

The Headcase Ladz new EP should be released in December, though we haven't set an exact date yet. The EP was mixed by No Sleep Nigel (producer with Blade and Mark-B) which sounds awesome. Dek-masha Slicer man (also of Goatboy), A-nom and Nobsta Nutts deliver the very best of underground British hip-hop. Its a long two years since the last Headcase release on WonkyWax Records which received much critical acclaim on the British and European hip-hop scenes. Also, while doing the new E.P. they also recorded a track for Johnny B's new E.P. "Rhyme Hungry" titled "gobstoppers". The re-hashed version appears on the Headcase Ladz E.P. You can order Johnny B's E.P. at Rounda Records and most good outlets in the U.K. The Ladz also have a new web site which you can find at www.headcaseladz.com. Also available on the Headcase website will be various volumes of Headcase's older music which either got minimal pressings or was'nt released at all, they will be titled "UNRELEASED BANGERS - 1988 - 2001", they will be on C.D. format only (unfortunately) but will be selling for only £2.50 plus p&p (dole queue prices).
