Seems I can’t go straight to my desk and write essays. Like Billy Connolly once said when you get into work you don’t go straight to it. You ease yourself in. Well thanx to a woman who knows far too much about music for her own good I’m feeling medieval. Fake Blood’s Medieval. And not getting straight too it. The fuzzy distorted bass is too … Continue reading Feeling Medieval – Fake Blood make me boil once more
Must be something about being born by the seaside and having sea salt in my bloodstream that makes me love Brighton so. Just when you think you can’t handle another seagull chorus, it knocks out another wonder and all is well in my hometown again. As January comes to its long waited for conclusion, there’s plenty to look forward to in the next few months … Continue reading Reasons to be Brighton 1.2.3.4. (Hercules & Love Affair, Tensnake, Your Mum’s House & our Romy)
Just what makes your DJ tick? What tunes did those headphone-wearing lovelies listen to way back when? GScene thought it was time to find out. Hence the desert island. No palm trees, just decent tunes. And this month’s desert disco darling? Brighton’s very own disco Queen, one half of Go Bang!!! and coordinator of Calabash, DJ Affy. Always an inspiration Affy’s been dancing his butt … Continue reading Desert Island Disco DJ Affy www.gscene.com
Blimey that was crap. There she was. A happy and hopeful Hammer, 45 minutes away from the Carling Cup final and a face off with my beloved Gunners. But that sweet missus of mine has the misfortune of being born into an affliction for which there is no cure. The family team is West Ham and so Queenie’s die (hard) was rolled. Hammer till she … Continue reading Conflict averted! Me and my West Ham missus
Here we go then, wet, wild and wonderful February. Glorious in its intentions, it’s the season of promise and this month’s Wildblood & Queenie soundtrack will only improve your mood, honest. (And yes, we’ve gone all double act on you. Call it a job share. Twice the lady, twice the action and twice the passion.) If ease is what you need then ‘Cream Chilled Electronica’ … Continue reading Wildblood & Queenie’s Wonders 02.11 ‘I love the couch baby!’
I’ve just made a mess in our kitchen. Rummaging for a snack. And I came back with a carrot. A bloody carrot. It’s nul points you see and that’s all that matters this week. And for the next 19 weeks come to that. Because after much thought, dodgy Xmas pics and jean shopping frustration (big waist + long legs + lesbian = grrr!), I’ve the … Continue reading Dreaming of crumpet
Since Erlend Øye dropped his DJ Kicks in 2004 I’ve always consumed the comp with a passion. Hot Chip, Booka Shade, Annie, The Glimmers, Tiga, Carl Craig. Each to their own and each dear to me. This consumption is set to continue as I can’t get enough – no just can’t get enough – of the kook kool of DJ Kicks latest Wolf + Lamb … Continue reading Department of Records – Wolf + Lamb vs. Soul Clap
Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. Hot. Cold. Bored. Finally after weeks of nearly properly poorly my immune system has broken down. And I’m oink ridden. H1N1 is here and I’m exhausted; coughing and spluttering, sneezing and freezing, infectious and demanding, sweating and aching. I’m now Lucozade fuelled, ODing on Vicks, craving Soothers, praising the kind soul who invented balsam tissues … Continue reading My life in pyjamas
I just did the most played thing on iTunes. Hopeful that the house soul in me would win. It didn’t. This did. Says it all. Kinda. Continue reading Most played?
Blimey what a year that was! Words fail me so I’m reaching for the tunes, the finest labels, producers, DJ’s and artists of 2010. The best of my Wildblood Wonders. The ones you shouldn’t be without. It was a class year for Brighton deck action. Guy Williams and Fat Tony at DTPM, Hifi Sean @ Porno, Duffie at Rebel, Jonny’s closing Pride set, The Hoxton … Continue reading Wildbloods Wonder – Best of 2010
