Vinyl Variations: Guilty Pleasures and electronic wonders – Day 1

The next few days will see me attempt something I should of done months ago. Transferring my vinyl addiction to my harddrive. Like my initial playlist for Pride Sunday Sundae (which currently stands as 4 days and 7 hours long – oops!) there’s way more tunes than set time but heck, give a girl her pleasures. So here’s today’s transfer market. The records in the … Continue reading Vinyl Variations: Guilty Pleasures and electronic wonders – Day 1

Charity shop pleasure treasure – Motorcycle and scooter cardigan

I was about 13 when I realised the budget imposed jumble sale wardrobe I wore to school was actually okay. Something about the latest overcoat Mrs Wotsit had put by for me at the weekly St Johns Jumble struck a cord with some fellow Smiths fans and earned me some much needed unique freak points. I’ve always had a soft spot for charity shop treasure … Continue reading Charity shop pleasure treasure – Motorcycle and scooter cardigan

My ultimate Pride tune – an endless joy

I’m compiling a list. A Dj’s list. The ultimate Pride tune. Ten of the beauties. I’m contacting every DJing soul I can think of who will be doing their thing over Brighton Pride weekend; be it house, indie, r’n’b, dubstep, grime, tech, disco or electronica and asking them to name one tune. The tune. The one that delivers goosebumps, the one that makes you grin … Continue reading My ultimate Pride tune – an endless joy

Wildblood and Queenies Summer Wonder Vol.1: The deep queer tech house one

There’s something beautiful about the simple grooves of tech house we can’t stay away from. Electronica of the sublime kind, it grabs you where it should do come 7am. Loops and bleeps and beats. Just how we like it. After several weeks of clubbing on the other side of the tracks and enjoying the sublime beats of Maxxi Soundsystem’s Sam Watts, the delights of Go … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenies Summer Wonder Vol.1: The deep queer tech house one

Tensnake bites back with ‘Something About You’

Some tunes just can’t be stopped. Tensnake ‘Something About You’ is one such tune. A favourite of mine from his brilliant RA 2009 podcast – its back and, like his limited edition vinyl Live +, its a corker of lovingly crafted genius. Hopefully it heralds a summer of back to the new, old school / nu school house acid vibe as those annoying house tunes … Continue reading Tensnake bites back with ‘Something About You’
