iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Gym soundtrack for today: Catch92 — Beacons & Singularity. One of the Workinonit homies & a genuinely good dude. I love the textures in his production. From Crewe to Folded Music, and now Ground Loop Sessions, sharing his knowledge & inspiring the next generation. #Catch92 #FoldedMusic

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Your Old Droog — Bread & Butter YOD is one of my favourite artists & for me, one of the greatest MCs ever. He was also my most-listened-to artist on Spotify last year. Another brilliant chapter from an artist who never stops delivering. #YourOldDroog

Gym soundtrack for today: Apollo Brown — No Pressure, No Diamond. Detroit’s master of dusty drums, soulful samples and cinematic boom-bap. From Gas Mask and Trophies to his latest work, Apollo proves great beats never go out of style. Love this album! #ApolloBrown

Gym soundtrack for today: Children of Zeus - As the World Burns Children of Zeus are back with As The World Burns — a soulful, reflective 16-track journey from Manchester’s Konny Kon & Tyler Daley. Years ago I saw them steal the show live at O2 Warehouse. Genuine UK hip hop and soul ambassadors. ⚡️

Gym soundtrack for today: Kuartz – Shurikens Manchester super producer, Workinonit founder & personal homie Kuartz, delivers 22 tracks of dusty loops, melodic jazz samples and crunchy drums, with several vocal samples thrown in the mix, giving this album a really solid sound from start to finish.

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Erykah Badu & The Alchemist – Before the World Blows What can I say ….Erykah Badu + The Alchemist. 🔥 Two genuine originals who never stop evolving. Been hyped for Before the World Blows since hearing “Next 2 U”. Badu’s voice over Alchemist’s production? I’m VERY ready. 🧪💿

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Homeboy Sandman - First of a Living Breed This incredible LP dropped on Stones Throw back in 2002 and is 🔥 One of hip hop’s most underrated, original MCs—pure “no biting allowed” tradition. Caught him tear it up at Wax & Beans, Bury. An absolute master on the mic! 🎤🔥

Gym Soundtrack for Today: Your Old Droog - Movie Back lifting after time out with tennis elbow, so what better soundtrack than this absolute gem?! One of the best hip hop albums of recent years. Ridiculous production from Madlib, Just Blaze, etc. YOD is one of the best to ever do it. 💯 🎤

Super hyped to be heading to Manchester tomorrow night to FINALLY see #djjazzyjeff live!! 🙌🔥 One of the greatest DJs ever & a huge influence on me as a DJ. Criminally, I’ve never caught him live—until now! 🎧 Can’t wait to witness the man himself in action at #bandonthewall. Anyone else going too?

Massive thanks to my man #ChillaNinja for hooking me up with #Sturks new #UNFADEABLE LP on #LegacyEcho. I put together a 9-min promo mix of the album for the label, so having the vinyl feels extra special. This is an amazing package of 12 tracks of East Coast 90s-inspired instrumental hip hop!
