I kind of disagree with the write-up for this podcast which comes courtesy of our friends over at XLR8R. Whilst Shed’s podcast for the mag is undeniably ‘banging’ in the warehouse sense of the term, he spends a fair degree of time playing around with higher frequencies and using the bass more as a point [...]

I know I should be packing at the moment. And Christmas shopping. And learn Polish. And sort out a million and one other things that moving from Cambridge to Krakow via Christmas celebrations in Stockholm involve. It’s just that I’m a little bit infatuated with every track below so I thought I’d spread the love. [...]

Latest selection of audio slices that are grabbing my goat right now. Some of these tracks have been around for a while (Alexandroid, RA the Rugged Man and Snowboy – actually one of the first albums I owned) mixed up with a bunch of newer numbers. Given that US Thanksgiving has just passed, I might [...]

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 [...]

Last weekend the Cambridge Folk Festival took place, and the highlight was no doubt – with all due respect to Laura Marling who was also brilliant – Katzenjammer: four very talented girls from Norway who play some kind of balkan-inspired polka punk. Now I feel like I should say something profound about the massacre at [...]

Finally then, here are the most upbeat and energetic guys I know: Krafty Kuts, Cakeboy and Askillz, all from Brighton. Best party music ever, and if you’re old and boring like me I can [...]

It’s refreshing to know that the guy that remixed Chaka Khan and Prince to such great effect back in day is still around. It’s refreshing to hear uplifting house music verging on disco still has a place in the world. It’s refreshing to feel the glow of early-evening spring-time. It’s refreshing to know that you [...]

Here is a selection of some of my favourite Jari Haapalainen-produced tracks; some old, some new, all beautiful. Jari Haapalainen is of course The Bear Quartet’s talented guitarist, who, in addition to producing all BQ albums also works a lot with other bands. WARNING: contains large doses of Scandinavian melankoli. Sensitive souls are advised not [...]

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 [...]
