I was going through a box of records that I hardly listen to anymore, seeing what was there and what should stay or go. I came across this track which was one of the records I used to play back in 2000. From the Schema label at the height of my nu-jazz period. One thing [...]

While we are playing reworked versions of popular tracks, I just found this white label 10″ that came out hot on the heels of Damian Marley’s worldwide smash ‘Welcome To Jamrock’ in 2005. Re-working the original with a wicked story about life for a Jamaican arriving in England and name-checking afro-caribbean communities across the [...]

I was going to blog ‘Brown Skin’ by India Arie because I love it. But then I decided to mix in another track – then another – then another – and it became mini-mix off the cuff. Apologies that the sound levels aren’t great and the mix is a little raw, I was grabbing at [...]

I walked down the stairs of Plastic People after my own 4 hour gig tired and bleary eyed, but excited about the music. I was visiting Voices for the first time in a couple of years, and I knew their sounds would inspire me. Cedric, Alex and John run a deep and open musical gathering. [...]

Busy times with one thing or another. And my mac is acting up and making recording in tracks difficult. Still, I have the beginnings of a new mix in mind and hope to get that recorded soon. Feels like a while since I did one. A little something I was digging last night… Kuniyuki [...]
