Been too busy to post the last few months. Back in action when I finish up college shortly. Until then, why not listen to a recent mix I did for We Are Electronic. It's got disco, house & modern boogie stuff in it. Yowzah.

Michael Kiwanuka

I saw this guy perform on Jools Holland last night. It's so nice to discover somebody making it in the music world who is actually good. He has restored this old cynics faith in the future of music. We'll see how long that lasts..

My favourite of his tunes, 'Tell Me A Tale', was released on limited 10" vinyl back in June. It sold out & of course can now be found on discogs alongside a silly price-tag.

You can get his second release easily though.

So, go forth & support this great new artist. Buy his music & go to his shows. The future of music depends on it.

Here are some photos taken at Sir David Rodigan's gig in the Twisted Pepper on Halloween night, two weeks or so ago.

What a night!

Should be a blast.

Gil Scott-Heron - Blue Collar

Truth be told I've never been that big a Gil Scott-Heron fan, though I probably just need to dig a little deeper. Anway, I picked up this test press copy of his 1982 LP 'Moving Target' from the goldmine Olan recently brought back from the Shtates. Picked up some real nice electro bits & pieces too. Twas a sight to behold, let me tell you.

If you like this studio version, you can expect some spine tingles from this 2010 performance.

R.I.P. Gil, I really ought to get the finger out & dig into your back catalogue more.

Peaking Lights - Mixxed Up

The wonderful Peaking Lights have put together a couple of damn fine mixes for the Gorilla vs Bear guys. The latest one has reached it's download limit on soundcloud, so I went to the trouble of ripping it —it's that good— so now it's available to all. Woo. I used this handy little program, which is a nifty oul hoore for grabbing the feisty ones.

Peaking Lights - Mixxed Up [stream / download]

It's super eclectic, starting with some sweet-ass Ethiopian grooves before tumbling through genres with wild abandon. WILD abandon.

Isn't it nice for a contemporary band to not be rubbish?

You can buy they're original music here and listen to it here.

They're on the internet too.

Lenny Williams - You Got Me Running

This is simply a phenomenal tune. An all-time favourite at this stage. Big ups to mister Mark Allton for putting me onto it a couple of years ago. There are some utterly pointless edits of this around, ignore them, this is the one you need. It builds so nicely, why anyone would think it needs an edit is a mystery to me.

Seriously, crank this shit up LOUD.
