Perfect Distractions: Maxxi Soundsystem & DRW ft. Royston ‘Open Your Eyes’

Today I bought slippers. Today I had a flu jab. Today I felt old. But then I did the decent thing and purchased myself a copy of Maxxi Soundsystem & DRW ft Royston’s ‘Open Your Eyes’ and everything was alright with the world again. The just so Xylo-loops, the bouncing bassline and the lazy delivery of Royston’s vocal make everything alright. The spring in my … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Maxxi Soundsystem & DRW ft.

Perfect Distractions: Richy Ahmed Mix (Hot Creations/One Records) – Moody Disco Guest 26/11/11 @ The Tube, Brighton

Today I am reading about French Surrealist photography. Like you do. Graffiti and shadows, Parisian streets and the odd in the every day. And this somehow seems perfect. Richy Ahmed tickling the deeper side with his quirky beats and kooky take on electronica. I’m loving it. As I will again when he plays in Brighton at Moody Disco on 26.11.11 @ The Tube. A petite … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Richy Ahmed Mix (Hot Creations/One Records) – Moody Disco Guest 26/11/11 @ The Tube, Brighton

Perfect Distractions 12.11.11: Inner City ‘Future’ on Defected Records

Oh wow! Inner City ‘Future’ is a tune and half. House music doesn’t have to be bout killer basslines and over egged breakdown. It can be about soul. It can be about a piano, a vocal, a message.

I want some … Continue reading Perfect Distractions 12.11.11: Inner City ‘Future’ on Defected Records

Perfect Distractions: Loleatta Holloway ‘Dreamin’ (Pol On Edit)

I love the way I get distracted. Usually by a tune, occasionally by Matt Bassant. Today the two combined as he pointed me in the direction of the Pol On Edit of Loleatta Holloway’s ‘Dreamin’. It made me happy, it made me grin and it made me appreciate the souls out there producing the good stuff with its combination of old skool meets nu school … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Loleatta Holloway ‘Dreamin’ (Pol On Edit)

Perfect Distraction: 27.10.11 Fink ‘Berlin Sunrise’ (Lee Jones Remix)

It’s beautiful right before the end of summer don’t you know. And as autumn begins to grip our days and demand the annual invest in mittens I’m falling for Fink.

Perfect Distraction: 25.10.11 Tracey Thorn ‘Night Time’ Strange Feeling Records

Today I’ve been transported back to those Tracey days. Her latest EP includes a wonderful cover of the xx’s Night Time. Enough said. The xx always had me from the first moment they appeared, delivering me hook, line and sinker back to those mohair covered, floppy hair, unrequited love filled teenage years. Add one of the actual voices that soundtracked those days to the mix … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: 25.10.11 Tracey Thorn ‘Night Time’ Strange Feeling Records

Today the Jack requirement is high. The desire to dance the damp rainy day away is massive. The tune needs to hotter than Queen Josephine on a sunlounger. The tune is Russ Yallop ‘Rock Me’ on Crosstown Rebels. An old fav first road tested when I played at Big Love last year and still making me and many of my fav lads grin. Delicious.
