New Jamie Lidell track
March 28th, 2008
I’m afraid I don’t have much information on this one, but a live version of a track from the new Jamie Lidell album has surfaced on the web.
The UK artist seems to have stuck to his tried and tested formula: angular electronic funk.
Apparently his live shows are meant to be worth taking in.

dj fink and harry covert @ smarties, nice, jan 31
January 28th, 2008
one last live foray (if our dreams come off, there maybe virtual outings in the future) into a world of jumbled beats and freaked out house chez smarties. marc will be hitting a milestone around midnight so expect some extra sauce on top of the normal festivities.
for me, the end of an era - as […]
final soiree with dj ohm at smarties - feb 2
January 18th, 2008
sniff. it’s come to this. the last outing for me and dj ohm at the wonderful smarties in downtown Nice.
still, the beats will keep the tears at bay. we’ve also got some new kit in tow (serato) so will have enough on our plates. i’d like to say i’ll record the event, but who knows […]
a blog without text

what exactly would that be?
perhaps something truly beautiful like the music refinery.
another discovery from the wonderful hype machine. oh, how long will it last?
joyous new endings
December 21st, 2007
…another year over and a new one just begun…
ok, a bit premature, but the yearly spirit of catharsis is in the air, whatever you want to call it. btw, santa, just in case you are passing by this way, here’s top of my wishlist (sorry, i appear to have slumped into gadget-geek mode).
so, moving on swiftly, […]
dj ohm, harry covert and the roti du veau
December 20th, 2007
it’s taken a little while getting this out, but a couple of weeks ago, whilst natalie was sunning herself in so-cal, i took the opportunity to step off the corp treadwheel and spent some time with the inimitable dj ohm.
point #1: if you go to a chef’s house, you’re gonna get good grub! we ended […]
harry covert and fink @ smarties - the mixes
December 11th, 2007
december saw my 5th anniversary and a fun night in Nice. the Hi Hotel did a fair job at kicking off proceedings in a bar that somehow reminded me of an Early Learning Centre.
we had a passable meal at an italian with one of the more interesting waitresses you’ll find. ‘yum, yum, yum’ was her […]
minimixes
December 11th, 2007
ok, i’ve been sitting on these for a while, so even though it’s 8 at night and the luscious french coffee has worn off, i shall post.
harry covert and fink on a summery saturday sometime back. we played around with lower bpm’s so expect some fine weirdness from the likes of Prince, Jay Wobble and […]

we’re at it again. me and fink getting messy with delectable beats at smarties, nice’s very own electro den of iniquity.
show up, if you dare. bare in mind it is AIDS (SIDA) Awareness Day, so think red.
mix to follow.
illegal art
October 30th, 2007
need to make a note of this while i remember. this guy came up in xlr8r recently and emoware’s anti-copyright stance stirred something in the dusky reaches of my consciousness.
illegal art is a movement headed by Philo T. Farnsworth fighting one aspect of copyright - “when it impedes an artist’s ability to interact with pre-existing […]
