loud hangover
April 17, 2009
I first heard this on a Westwood mixtape off the radio, then I caught the original Funkmaster Flex mixtape. It was a heavy tune for sure and took me a while to track down on vinyl as it was promo only. A lot of people slept on this record. Sounds a little dated now, and [...]

freedom suite
March 14, 2009
So it has been a while. To tell the truth I locked myself out of the blog by accident. My computer was acting up so a friend wiped everything to see if that would help. Except he wiped all my passwords and logins too. Still, I am here now… Just dug out Road To [...]

sunshine
February 8, 2009
I first heard this out in Japan on a mixtape I picked up in a record store called Manhattan (R.I.P)… They used to stock homemade tapes cassette mixes by DJs and one of these was by Matsuura who was a member of UFO at the time. It is still one of my all time [...]

how do you luv?
February 4, 2009
Continuing on with the Donnaslut collab… I first heard this years ago and filed it away under ‘lost nights and long weekends’. Nightclubs in Sheffield with people whose names you never knew, and never thought to ask. Just dance and get on with it. Fast forward years later. I am driving in Japan, on holiday, I [...]

I’ve been slow shaking off 2008 and getting started into 2009. Trying to get the work/life/balance right at the moment. At the moment it seems work/work/work/li… Heard back from Donnaslut our little project will be put back until mid-Feb some time, but I will keep you posted. Some great new music that I have been picking up [...]

the jag
December 18, 2008
Christophe Monier of The Micronauts I think they had this in mind when they coined the term ‘discoid’. It’s a grower that’s for sure, but it is also a really rewarding listen – now when was the last time a dancefloor track was ‘rewarding’? Huh? It’s 11 minutes, but stick with it. If I could [...]

stolen moments
December 8, 2008
A few weeks more playing at Jack’s and I’m starting to enjoy it now. My skin is thickening. It’s probably a rare gig in London where you can get away with playing Brasilian sambas, Jazz big band, Deep House, Neo-Soul, Detroit Techno and New York Disco over four hours; without the manager coming up and [...]

October 8, 2008
On a bit of an old school vibe at the moment – as you can probably tell. More warm beats and fine rhymes from Kurious Jorge. Nice use of the Blackbyrds ‘Mysterious Vibes’ going on in this track. I swear modern hip-hop has forgotten the art of digging out a good loop from a good [...]

what does your soul look like?
October 6, 2008
Back when DJ Shadow dropped his first few singles, there was a real anticipation of a new music on the horizon. This is taken from one of his first EPs on Mo’Wax and pre-Endtroducing. DJ Shadow – What Does Your Soul Look Like? [Version 3]
