I haven’t been out dancing for a while – the missus and her precious but not so well ear / arm / head / elbow have put paid to that. But when I do, its gonna be to this blinder. Jorge Savoretti’s Bassuka has me all a quiver. It hits you right in the short and curlies with its relentless bassline whilst its acidic undertones ensure … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Jorge Savoretti ‘Bassuka’ on Rogue Society

Sometimes you just wanna wiggle what your mother gave ya. Sometimes you just need an oooo oooo. Sometimes only Huxley will do. Which is lucky ‘cos his latest Leftroom venture with Sam Russo, Honey Dijon and Matt Tolfrey delivers on all fronts ensuring the wiggle is most definitely had. Get it and more when he comes to Brighton’s Audio this Friday. Wiggles guaranteed. Plus Charles … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Huxley & Sam Russo ‘Don’t Undastand’ on Leftroom Records
Well to say we’ll be glad to see the back of January would be a vast, plastered casted, A&E-ed out, painkiller sponsored understatement. (Queenie would type this column herself but it….may…take…some…time…) So instead guiding you through this month’s must-do soundtrack is my working right hand, Queenie’s working left ear and our combined gratefulness. Sometimes being in a double act is priceless. February is proving such … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s Fabulous February Wonders
Sometimes all you need to know about a track is in the title. So yeah, this is Real Good Like. A deep but deftly groovy track that insists on a wiggle. Waze & Odyssey impressed live at Audio in 2013 (they are rapidly becoming the missus’ fav double DJ act) and continue to do so with this slice of vinyl heaven. I’m smitten. Again. Waze … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Waze & Odyssey Real Good Like
This tune ain’t too popular in our house right now. It makes us wanna go out dancing. And we can’t. Not quite yet anyway. Never thought we’d miss dark rooms, sweaty bodies, random strangers, old friends and dirty dark basslines so much. And its only been six weeks. Gawd knows how long we’ve got to go till my missus’ precious, precious head, arm and elbow … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: I Am A Camera The Legendary Children (Up Yours Severino + Hifi Sean Remix)
A little late…due to circumstances (and stairs) beyond our control. So that was that. 2013. Done and dusted. Glorious but gone. Time to, as Carole Sylan once sung, look ahead. First up is the gloriously kooky koolness of Various Artists fabric 72 on Fabric in which every element of electronica is represented with a chaotic charm that’s bound to enchant. So to will the sound … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s (delayed) January Wonders
In a world before her accident, when all she had to worry about was the prospect of snow on the ground and the annual trek to work, the missus wrote this column for Gscene. It made me laugh then. It makes my laugh now. Enjoy Queenie at her camp finest as she ponders her new Years resolutions. Little did we know she should of vowed … Continue reading Querying Queenie’s Resolutions (or thoughts from the pre-Ouch House)
Well that’s my day made. Metropolis return and all is well with the world again. Roll on Casio infused Love Letters in March. Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Metronomy I’m Aquarius
This has me perfectly distracted. Ten minutes and 26 seconds of beauty that sends every Bowie bone in my body into a state of bliss. James Murphy and Barnaby Roper I salute you. Continue reading Perfect Distractions: David Bowie Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Mix by James Murphy for the DFA)
