			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Don&#8217;t miss The Sherry Dixon Show this Sunday 12-3pm when Sherry will be joined by Rhoda Wilson.<br />
Sherry will also be discussing the topic: How many lovers is &#8216;too many&#8217;&#8230;?</strong></p>
<p>Society&#8217;s attitudes towards casual relationships have changed in the past few years.<br />
Programmes such as &#8216;Sex and the City&#8217; have enjoyed phenomenal success, showing that woman should no longer have to feel embarrassed or even ashamed to ask for what they really want. But how many lovers is &#8216;too many&#8217;? Fans of the show will be familiar with the character Samantha Jones, a forty-something blonde bombshell in PR who works hard and &#8216;plays&#8217; even harder! Known for her numerous sexual encounters, she was once unable to recall all the partners she had been with when quizzed.<br />
Although it can be said that supposed promiscuity is now considered &#8216;the norm&#8217;, there will always be a double standard as far as men and women are concerned. The number of lovers that makes a man a &#8217;stud&#8217; can have a woman labelled as something else entirely. A woman’s actions in these circumstances will often be questioned. Has she low self esteem? Is she hoping that it will bring love? Perhaps even more shockingly, she just wants to have a good time. Are we ready to fully accept this? Tune in and have your say!

</p>
<p>The 3 musketeers, Victizzle, along with Guvna B, Faith Child, represent three of UK gospel music’s most brightest stars and have come together to form a one-off monumental project, namely ‘T3M’. </p>
<p>The three musketeers is a campaign that Faith Child, Guvna B and Victizzle have created with the vision of “making gospel music mainstream”.</p>
<p>Victizzle, born in East London, Victor Akata discovered his love for music at the early age of 7 and began his creativity of music at the age of 12, whilst at secondary school. Having a strong passion for producing beats, he decided to take his music more seriously and began writing songs at 14 and pursued his dream from then onwards.</p>
<p>2004 saw the meeting of the rap group G-Force, which Victizzle joined alongside his best friend Mark Asare as the groups’ two young Music producers. This is where Victizzle decided to take positive path to use his gifts and talents to inspire his peers and many more.</p>
<p>2007 saw the year that the G-Force album was finally released, which then went on to win a MOBO award the same year. This saw a great success for Victizzle at the age of 17.

</p>
<p>At the age of 19, having known to be the ‘Producer Extraordinaire’ and ‘HookMaster’, Victizzle released his solo album on June 13th 2009, at what was seen to be the biggest album launch of the year, which saw over 2000 people, packed out in the SOLD OUT Ocean Venue in Hackney, East London.</p>
<p>Few months later saw the year that Victizzle as a solo artist beat the likes of Mary Mary and Kirk Franklin for the MOBO of 2009 as Keri Hilson handed him his Award.</p>
<p>Having produced for many artists such as Guvna B, Faith Child, G-Force, Victizzle built up a discography of over 100 produced and written songs and performing on stages in venue&#8217;s such as Hackney Empire, Ocean and Excel Centre. He has also shared the stage with Bashy, Darren B, Tye Tribbet and Kirk Franklin in front of over 15,000 people.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">One artist who seems to flow effortlessly between Drum &amp; Bass subgenres and win over the ears and hearts of D&amp;B ravers all over the world with his tunes is Brazilian producer and DJ, S.P.Y.</span></span></p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><a href="http://www.bangradio.fm/wp-content/uploads//spy1.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-5158" title="spy1" src="http://www.bangradio.fm/wp-content/uploads//spy1.jpg" alt="spy1" /></a>A favourite producer for both Micky and Lady V, they have been championing S.P.Y’s beats for the last year as everything that comes out of the S.P.Y HQ is pure gold.  Whether he creates a hypnotic but thumping dirty tune like ‘Favela’ which is currently in every DJ’s record box, or delivering tunes like ‘Feel The Music&#8217; which is like a ray of sunshine sparkling amongst sets,  S.P.Y’s production is undoubtedly always on point.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">Highlighting his ability to produce such eclectic beats, is his superb back catalogue of tunes from the last 4 years that have been released on a variety of labels such as </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span lang="en-US">CIA, Spearhead, Liquid V and Metalheadz, </span></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">which all promote different sounds to the D&amp;B scene. There are also the collaborations with artists such as Marky, Total Science and C.A.B.L.E as well as a list of big remixes….where SPY finds time to create this amount of good music and travel the world touring, is a mystery!</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>But don&#8217;t worry, as</strong></span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong> Micky and V will be finding this and a lot more when S.P.Y comes into the BANG studios for the Drum &amp; Bass Show on Friday 30</strong></span></span><sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong>th</strong></span></span></sup><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><strong> July, 10pm-midnight.  He’ll also be dropping a very special 30min mix, so make sure you don’t miss it&#8230;and Lady V has a very very special question to ask him.  Will he say yes?? </strong></span></span></p>

His ardent ambition to study further into the mechanisms of emcing would land him into his first appearance on the mic with a group known as “Anarchy” at the age of 15 from which was formed from a close school friend known as propaganda. The team consisted of six members M9 being the last member to be embraced. “I would check Ty (Propaganda) and we would freestyle for hours from the beats he made on his ejay, I was blown away by talent he had, just to hear a person I knew make beats on that level was a big insipration for me, we would then find the right lyrics and we would start to record until a track was made”.</p>
<p>M9 would religiously attend a local youth club, who were relentlessly focused on getting teenagers of the streets and into music, the lessons taught by the music engineers would familiarise him with the production side of hip hop and he would go on to produce his first track “Maintain” with another group of boys known as “Illite 13”. From this track blossomed a spiritual bond with this group and was soon initiated as part of them, the members being “Mayhem and Ozeeks”. “ I knew mayhem from school his brother was my brothers age group, we would always show each other love, until one day I went to check him and I would find out we shared the same love for the rap game, we would freestyle for days in his brothers yard to some I&#8217;ll new york beats, he showed me a lot of what i know today about emcing”. M9’s name was now beginning to have a local buzz, but the struggle to deal with the hardships of being a teenager was ever so prominent, from dropping in and out of college, to observing his local surroundings had him reflecting what he saw on his lyric pad and viciously transending his lyrical ability.</p>
<p>At the age of 21 M9 found himself anxious to let the world hear his material but with no avenues to put it out left him frustrated, eventually he would uncannily stumble upon a very skilled rapper known as skriblah dan gogh, from coincidenlty living next door to each other at a foyer. At that point skriblah was well known from being a member of a group known as “terra firma”. Skriblah was determined to let the world know about m9 through any avenue he thought was possible, they then began to realte to each others struggle on a track known as “Cold” which was a big turning point for m9, from this point he would become friends with another well known producer called chemo. His relationship with skriblah also had him gravitating towards two hackney emcees known at the time as “phalanx heresy”. “I remember being in skriblah’s room and these two guys came to check him, we started to politik on the game and how its changed and what we can individually offer to it, we began to form a cypher. I remember being very impressed with the duo’s lyrical abilities and wanting to engage in future collaborations”.<br />
The plot began to thicken as m9 found himself recording a track with phalanx heresy called “Politikin” from this track formed two other tracks known as “Pyramid Warz” and “Children of the Matrix”. At this point a decision was made to consolidate talents into one group which will stop at nothing to deliver a message of the mental, physical and spiritual barriers their nation faces on a daily basis, the groups name would be “Triple Darkness”. By March 2007 Melanin 9’s first official solo offering “Hi Fidelity” was presented to the world. His dream of always wanting to sell a product from himself in major stores became a reality. Even though it was seen as an album it was only a mixtape, which received very positive feedback to say the least, from major magazine article writers such as Hip Hop connection, Blues &amp; Souls and DJ mag. His singles “4 Souls” and “Cold” received very heavy rotation on radio stations such as BBC1 Xtra”, BBC Asian, Itch FM and many more. His solo offering had major promoters intriged and was given a chance to open shows for artists such as Styles P, Saigon, Immortal Technique, Redman and Method Man.</p>

Most magazines these days, frequently inundate us with celebrities constantly altering their image in an attempt to reach perfection (or the media ideals of perfection at least)!

From Katie Price's obsession with wrinkles through to Heidi Montag's quest to have the best body in Hollywood, cosmetic surgery is now seen as the 'norm'.

There are an increasing number of people opting to have cosmetic surgery and as a result, more horrific and disturbing stories are beginning to surface!

So what is driving people to go under the knife?

Why are people so willing to risk their lives in a bid to look good?

This week on Subject:Blu, we will be looking at Cosmetic Surgery, the ups and the downs, the good, the bad and the ugly!

Feel free to get involved and share your opinions and views during the show in the usual ways.
