Wow! Well that was some summer. Celebrations, catastrophes and corking moments. Loved it. But as autumn wings it way into view and the chill comes we need some heat to ensure we keep toasty this October. First up is the return of Layo & Bushwacka!’s Rising & Falling on Olmeto. A lot of beats have passed under the bridge since Love Story but this achingly … Continue reading Wildblood + Queenie’s October Wonders
Inspired by the tunes doing it for us and our new Jack the lad (he loves a bit of deep house that dog of ours) here’s our last Summer Wonder of 2012.

Enjoy x Maceo Plex & Jon Dasilva feat Joi Cardwell Love Somebody Else Miguel Campbell Rockin’ … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s End of Summer Wonder Vol.8 – The Jack one
Strings and The xx? That’s me smitten, done for, lost for hours. Can’t think of anything else to say other than leave me alone, I’m having a moment. With The xx and BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. Like you do. Continue reading Perfect Distractions: The xx and the BBC Philharmonic, live in Bridlington
Sometimes only piano will do. No matter how fused, how fucked, only piano will do. Having had one of those weeks I needed a lift and Waifs & Strays delivered. Adorable, attention seeking and addictive. Check the Huxley & Matt Tolfrey remix for a darker tone. Or just return to the piano of title track Love On Another. It makes life shiny again. Buy it on Beatport Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Waifs & Strays ‘Love On Another’ Leftroom Records
So as we head towards a proud summer finale of hands in the air and sing-a-long anthems, the words of which we never quite got the hang of – “oh jambali” comes to mind, it seems only right that we turn up the temperature one last time with some delicious sunshine soundtracks. First up is one of must-hit websites of the year House Of Disco … Continue reading Wildblood + Queenie’s September Scorchers
As much as I hate soft rock I reckon I could cope with it blaring in my head 24/7 if ever the US Army feel the need to capture and break me. It’s the sleeplessness that would get to me, no matter how averse I am to Bon bloody Jovi. Oh insomnia, how you drive me mad. A childhood affliction then dismissed as ‘highly strung’ … Continue reading I can’t get no sleep
Back in the day the vinyl I purchased carried a handy logo and the words “Home Taping is Killing Music”. It didn’t stop me, fingers hovering about the record button on my sisters Binatone tape recorder each and every Sunday night come the chart run down on Radio 1. Times have changed but the consequences of stealing music have become harder to swallow. Today Brighton’s … Continue reading The groove stops here: Rounder Records closes

So after a glorious June full of sunshine and summer vibes, er not, here comes July. Whatever the weather we intend to keep the action hot this month and this selection of sweeties should do it. Firstly we have the ‘Future Disco presents Poolside Sounds’. And no they are not rubbing in our lack of rays but bringing some much needed warmth courtesy of Maya … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s July Wonders
