Perfect Distraction: XiXi ‘Feels So Good’ That’s my missus that is

Been raiding the archives. Found this. Made my day. Queen Jo (that’s my missus that is) and XiXi. The lovely band what she had a lovely time with. And the lovely Michele. And Lizzie. And Jane. And plenty of maracas’ if I remember right. Gawd bless them, their K-Klass remix and the wonder that was Gordon Knott’s Atlantic Records. Never had Hove produced so many … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: XiXi ‘Feels So Good’ That’s my missus that is

Somedays I could kiss my postie. Somedays. And today as the essay blunders on (type codswhallop 2500 times) I’m finding joy courtesy of the new remixes of Azari & III’s Reckless (With Your Love).
