Jamie who?

Why is everyone I listen to at the moment called Jamie? It’s absurd. Favourite Jamie: Lidell. Is this guy getting the recognition he deserves or have I just not been paying attention (more likely)? Favourite track: Burial’s version of Wayfaring stranger is strangely addictive. Favourite album: James Blake. Funnily enough I don’t listen to it [...]

Best of 2010

Finally. Time to get this out before another year passes. Some of the tracks appeared way before 2010, but all rocked my boat over that 12 month chunk. Enjoy. Space Bass (Jamie xx’s remix of The xx) – The xx Running Up That Hill (12″ Mix) – Kate Bush Paris Is For Lovers – Fet [...]

The end of the beginning

Quite a year. At least that’s the feeling from behind this laptop. Nine+ months of expectation led to the fruitful delivery of what is now a wonderful smiling bundle of puke and poop. I can safely say I’m having a time like no other in my life. Other new adventures this year include a foray [...]

endless pregnant pause

and so it begins. a right of passage. join the club. the 9th full moon has passed. in folklore it unleashes the sunshine. sunshine is coming. starting off with a sprinkling of brazilian angel dust in the shape of murucututu (thanks, louise!) before vitalic’s poisin lips tears in. sorry about that. felt like getting this [...]

State of independence

Scouring through the blogs once again on this mix. It’s summer so leaning more in the direction of trance and blissed out beats, setting the scene with an airy reworking of a Florence and the Machine track before traversing a path towards Agoria’s strung out Grande Torino. Tom Stephan beefs things up a little (twiddling [...]

Have you caught the June bug?

Feeling that the year is disappearing inordinately quickly? Life slipping you by? One minute you were toasting in the new year and next it’s June? Take a deep breath and if you can’t make it to your local watering hole, slip on a pair of ear buds and take this mix around the block. I’ve [...]

Jubilee throws down some serious jump-up jive

I’ve been sitting on this mix for a little while now. I just keep getting pulled back into it. I’d go as far as to say it’s redefining the music I follow and play. Jubilee is a young turk from Brooklyn who is building up a reputation for serving up some of the rawest beats [...]

J Period Dancehall Soundclash Vol 2 Part 2 boyee

Well, one day we’ll be back in the sizzling hot sun of summer – stoop parties, hoards at every ice cream parlor, hanging out in parks with boom boxes blaring a boisterous roughneck soundtrack. Well, here in SF we’re still not quite there yet, but let’s start getting in the mood. I originally posted part [...]

Rock and roll meets techno and dubstep on Jason Forrest mix

We start in rock fringes with raw fuzzed out guitar chords leading to Nick Cave’s bastard punk croonings. Before we know it, we’re up to our ears in fringe dance, or as the man Forrest puts it: “it’s like dubstep finally embraced it’s suburban IDM roots and the result is a freedom of sound that [...]

Strange love in Moscow

Well, it all started with this remix of the MJ track ‘Stranger in Moscow’ which was unfamiliar to me as by the time History came out, I’d largely lost interest. Well, that track didn’t even make it onto this mix in the end. I ended venturing a little further leftfield into more tribal territory. Don’t [...]
