The Streets man drops a mixtape of rap duets ahead of a musical film about his recent life as a DJ.

Image caption"When I first started DJing properly," says Mike Skinner,"I thought it would be a sort of dignified way to grow a bit older."It wasn't very dignified, but it was an incredible education. Every day you learn something about music that you didn't know - usually from the DJ before you or the DJ after you - and you can't buy that sort of experience."

Now, his experiences of DJ sets around the continent with his balloon-and-bass night Tonga, alongside Murkage Dave, have formed the basis of The Streets' forthcoming sixth album.The record, when it arrives, will also soundtrack a nightclub-based celluloid musical, entitled The Darker the Shadow, the Brighter the Light, directed by and starring Skinner.

"The film has definitely got things in common with Quadrophenia [The Who's concept album and film]," adds Skinner."Also, in a weird way, kind of Tommy [the same band's rock opera] as well, because in my film it's a musical but the songs are the voiceover.Skinner says there is"a lightness of touch" to his new mixtape

It told the tale of a bloke who'd lost a bagful of cash and, in attempting to retrieve it, some friends and a girlfriend along the way.The London-via-Birmingham star made his name as an early laptop bedroom producer and quintessentially British working class rapper, at a time when more glamorous Americans still ruled the rap game.
