So, so, so, I've mentioned these guys before in a previous blog after seeing them at The Great Escape festival down in Brighton earlier this year. They really were something, a totally hypnotic, pulsating slice of awesome electronica, ideal for you know, sweatily moving your feet and cultivating mandibles the size of North Yorkshire.

Firstly, they're playing @ The Garage, London on Friday 18th November for free, get yourself a packet of Chewits and a footspa for the morning after: LINK

So, I've finally got around to starting the project of compiling a bunch of mixes based on my record collection.   I intend to pick out some choice cuts of every style that's influenced me over the 20 odd years I've been collecting music, so expect some old school hiphop, electro, house, jungle, breaks, soul & funk, it'll take a while so bear with me, especially considering I've not done a mix for several years.

I've started with some music that I've been enjoying recently, including a few tracks I played at Glastonbury this year, hence it being mix number 10.  It's pretty much made up of chunky, glitchy, electronic beats in the downtempo region of 100-105bpm.

If you're still rocking a walkman, this'll fit nicely onto one side of a C90!

Enjoy

Philip Glass did an amazing soundtrack to the film Notes on a Scandal.  So amazing, in fact, that it manages to overwhelm the double-barrelled acting power-blapse of Judi Dench & Cate Blanchett.  That's just how Glass rolls.  He's a big hitter.

The demo below is a sketch of a hip hop track made from samples of the Notes on a Scandal soundtrack.  We're looking for vocals - singing, an MC, arthouse wailing, whatever you think works.  The track is just a demo, everything can change if the idea is right.

We've got a project lined up to take 3 movie soundtracks and convert them into 3 mini EPs.  Give us a shout if you want IN.

On April 11th, the criminally under-appreciated Metronomy are back with their new album The English Riviera.  The (now) 4 piece band use main man Joeseph Mount's trademark naff sounds, relentless party hooks and distant lyrics to somehow produce a glistening, sophisticated and unique pop record.  Buy it.  On April 11th.

Here's a taste of the treats to come - The Bay.

Metronomy - The Bay by D9000

Buy it.  April 11th.  This is not a drill.
