So here we go – skidding, sliding and sleighing our way out of another sound year. A year full of surprises, wonders, the odd disappointment and plenty of Radio Jo. Every Xmas I’ve hit in the past 17 years I’ve faced the same wonderful dilemma – what to get the missus this time? Should the gift reflect the love, the laughs or the lust? Just … Continue reading Crash, bang, whallop what a year!
We’re calling it queer funky tech, we’re calling it the best of 2010. Cos it is. End of. Here is our favourite soundwaves of the year. They’ve knocked off our feet and ensured a groove. On the dancefloor, in the car, pissing off the neighbours at 5am. Whatever. We love ‘em. A Wildblood and Queenie ‘Best of 2010’ Winter Warmer that reflects a year of … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s Winter Warmer Vol 2 – Best of 2010
What makes the perfect Xmas tune? It’s hard to tell. I know what doesn’t – a certain Cowell and Co, a touch too heavy on the jingles, a little loose of the festive strings. Which why Spector does it and Simon doesn’t. Why it’s gotta mention the man in the red outfit and why it’s gotta bristle with charm. Festive charm. Something that will always … Continue reading Festive pitch

Here’s hoping this selection of December’s do them tracks provides an antidote to those X Factor Christmas dirges and those “gawd Elf us” looping soundtracks.

I’ve always found tech house a genre of subtle beauty. There’s nowt like losing your soul in the wonder of tunes like Codec Shift ‘Viper Room’ or Pete Moss ‘Top Of The Trees’. Anyway we’ve been meaning to get our arse into gear and share our love of a few of these tunes and so here it is. A little deeper than our funked up … Continue reading New mix from me and the missus
After years of hiding beneath the blankets I’m coming out this Halloween courtesy of a little aversion therapy. Ghouls and demons don’t leave me cold but there is one thing (other than trance) that spooks this Wildblood. I…don’t…like….gulp….vampires. There I’ve said it. Why? It’s my Pa’s fault. He had this daft rule when babysitting me and my little sis. He’d let us stay up till … Continue reading I’m not scared…honest
I love, love, love this time of year. Digging out the mittens, embracing the chill and stoking the fire that is clubbing in the winter. Yes the smoking terrace maybe freezing and the coat check queue enormous but my, the tunes are hot. I’ve had so many genius albums popping into my inbox this month it’s hard to pick one out for special treatment. So … Continue reading Wildblood’s November Wonders

I’ve been on a bit of a soulful tip all day as I read up on dandy’s. I’m not sure if Beau Brummell would of approved but the grooves coming outta my study have been as classy as his threads. In no particular order….. Joey Negro presents Kola Kube Why (Hot Toddy Club Mix) A true legend of tune gets a truly lush retouch from … Continue reading Department of Records 29.10.10
