Gonna have to apologise for this.

Alright, ive been STUPID addicted to Portal2 past few days so thats the reason for not posting anything.... at all.


And Im still deeply addicted so this post is going to be rubbish also.

So I pose a simple question:

Coke or Pepsi?

Im 100% Pepsi myself, love the stuff.

Okay, I PROMISE my next post will be slightly more insightful and worth reading.

So - uhh, haha....

Alright - so, my student loan came in yesterday - first purchase? PORTAL 2. Standard.

First of all, thank you UK tax payers ;-) Couldnt of afforded it without you.

Secondly, wow this game is too good. I seriously recommend it to anyone, its just... just FUN. Pure fun without  any reservations. And Valve's sense of humor is brilliant.

RECOMMENDED.

P.S: Start thinking with portals!

Okay so since we have a bit of a oldschool / flashback theme going on here...

So who remembers this? Questionably camp 70's funky house! Everybody dance....

Yeh so hands up if you know the dance to this tune, don't be shy now...

Been super busy...

Been super busy with Uni work recently, not had time to post, so i'm going to ask you one simple question:


How ya doin'?

Win a Box Set of Classic Autechre EPs in XLR8R's "Big Beat Box" Contest!

The kind guys over at XLR8R are running a dope comp to win a shitload of Autechre EP's in a swanky new boxset, go get yourself involved - well worth the 5 seconds it takes to enter. Good luck!

Joy Orbison - Ellipsis

My new favorite Joy O tune right here, sounds of the summer for sure!

What does everyone else think of this tune?
What do you all think about this new house movement thats come around?

Personally I love it all!

LV feat. Joshua Idehen - Routes Promo Mix

Here is a little mix from LV's upcoming album

LV's Soundcloud


A really interesting blend of slow house, dubby techno stuff, and of course "Norther Line" (which is an abolute tune, and also - What do you actually know about Moorgate tho?)

EZC - Spontanious House Mix by E Z C

So tonight after a beer or two I recorded a mix on the fly, tottaly unplanned and just grabbed random tunes as they came to me. Dont ask me for a track list - I have NO idea what 80% of these tunes are called. Selection turnt out pretty good tho - im impressed with myself, range from deep house to techno to some dubby bits to just grooves!

enjoy. 

FACT mix 239: Jamie xx & Oneman

Everyone should know Oneman's name by now. His selection and skill on the turntable has been (pretty much) unmatched since forever. Dude is straight up a badman. Jamie XX is new to me, but ive been feeling his output also. Some of his works with Gil Scott Heron was fabulous.

I anticipate good things about this mix, the linky is here:

Spring + Sun + Countryside + BMX = Awesome.

I love this time of year, and Summer. I also love where I live. 10/15 minutes from city center, but far enough out that the countryside is also only a ten minute walk/ride away.

I picked up a new value this past weeks: never complain about the warmth when I also complain about the cold.

In typical British fashion, everyones started to complain "Its too hot" - fuck that, I hate the cold so i'm making everything I can of the sun and warmth.

So from now on, I shall never complain about the heat. 

I also have a pretty awesome tan right now, u jelly?

Ramadanman/Pearson Sound last night.....

So last night I saw Ramdanman/Pearson Sound for the first time, in a darkly lit, small, quite cosey club. And it was off the hook.

People with questionable jaws, a dude doing the same motion for 3 hours straight, people knowing every drop, shit laser lighting, sweat dripping, rewind on Deep Inside, that messy girl on the table, bass heavy, groove loaded tunes, fucking SICK.

Oh yeh and I managed to take that hilarious picture of Ramadanman looking rapey as shit. We had prime position all night long.

So many new tunes played, and for once I wasn't drinking so I remember everything, intense. Many tunes went off so hard, and many tunes it was the first time i've heard played out. Woo Glut was incredible.

I could link so many other tunes but this'll do.

Mount Kimbie - Abbey road Debuts

First posted from Future Frequencies (cheers buddy!)

So I absolutly love everything Mount Kimbie puts out, without fail. Massive fanboy right here. I was absolutly shocked when I saw the link posted on Future Frequencys - mainly beacuse I HAD NO IDEA. And it aired LAST NIGHT.

So big hats go off to 4oD for archving stuff so us slowpokes can watch back. Seriously good performance right here but a stunning pair of artists. Watch and listen to this video, and feel more awesome than you did 11 minutes ago.

Linky below.

Mount Kimbie Abbey Road Debut

Julio Basemore - Batty Knee Dance/Ribble to Amazon.

I fucking LOVE this release. Ribble to Amazon has SUCH an amazing vibe to it. Proper summer dance music, sound track to this week for sure. 

Julio Bashmore is ON IT this year, and can't wait for more from this guy.

Audio here (Via boomkat)

Safe!

80s electro funk

Aha,

So someone linked me this and its brung back a few memorys, love this stuff. Nostalgia general. 

I've got the midas touch.....

Mark Fell: vortex studies

I have been a big follower of Mark Fell and his duo, SND, for a few years now. To me, the music is more of a concept driven journey, the way I listen to it is more akin to the way I'd go about watching a film, rather than some background music whilst I do the dishes.

So naturally i'm quite hyped to hear there is new material on the way, aswell as a sweet interview with Mark on the FACT website,

Linky here 

It's worth reading, and checking out the music aswell. You never know, you might like it.
