Perfect Distractions: Up Yours ‘Tonight’ Southern Fried Records
Lets rewind to fast forward. Its the only way to go. Especially when Hifi Sean and Severino are in charge. As this slice of acidic house proves its always best to trust a man with beard. And when there are two of them, well the result is a foregone conclusion. Trust the DJ – especially when they produce productions as fine as this. Hifi … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Up Yours ‘Tonight’ Southern Fried Records
Perfect Distractions: Noir ‘Satisfied’ NM2
Jesus wept, this is GOOD! Sod the end of summer, I’m keeping warm with this filth. Oh I can’t wait till some 6am dancefloor, a DJ with balls and getting a sweat on to this monster.

Acid is back but this time its got balls. … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Noir ‘Satisfied’ NM2
Perfect Distractions: Waifs & Strays ‘Love On Another’ Leftroom Records
Sometimes only piano will do. No matter how fused, how fucked, only piano will do. Having had one of those weeks I needed a lift and Waifs & Strays delivered. Adorable, attention seeking and addictive. Check the Huxley & Matt Tolfrey remix for a darker tone. Or just return to the piano of title track Love On Another. It makes life shiny again. Buy it on Beatport Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Waifs & Strays ‘Love On Another’ Leftroom Records

Brighton and Hove Pride 2012: More please!!
Every year I promise I’ll take more pictures next time. I never do. I get caught up in the moment, okay the 72 hour long moment, and forget. Too busy playing tunes, hugging the longtime no see dolls and running from venue to venue, party to party trying to remember to eat something. Yes Brighton Pride. The one weekend that seems to last longer than … Continue reading Brighton and Hove Pride 2012: More please!!
Coexist:Being as in love with The xx as I am
Its been 24 hours since the object of my devotion that is The xx dropped their second album Coexist into my system. And I am already smitten. Pregnant pauses, steel pans, perfect harmonies and enough innocence fuelled lyrics to twist any heart string. All delivered with an autumnal hum, as the summer ends and the possibilities of fireside nights and wrapped-up days lay ahead. I … Continue reading Coexist:Being as in love with The xx as I am
Wildblood + Queenie’s September Scorchers
So as we head towards a proud summer finale of hands in the air and sing-a-long anthems, the words of which we never quite got the hang of – “oh jambali” comes to mind, it seems only right that we turn up the temperature one last time with some delicious sunshine soundtracks. First up is one of must-hit websites of the year House Of Disco … Continue reading Wildblood + Queenie’s September Scorchers
Perfect Distractions: Florence, Florence, Florence
Oh Florence you enchant me so. Like a wonderland in kooky BPM’s you spin me out and over and in…..in love with you. You make loving Ms Bush a essential, Bjork a normality. You make my day. And when Maya got hold of you, well that was me smitten. Again. (And your not even my bleeding type, but then those gloves of yours are kinda…..) … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Florence, Florence, Florence
Perfect Distractions: Ce Ce Peniston ‘Finally’ (Mikalis 2012 Unofficial Mix)
There will be a tune for everyone this Brighton Pride. That song you’ll return to over and over once the world stops spinning and normality returns. The tune that will encompass the highs, the giggles, the sweat, the cuddle, the grins. And it’ll be different for each and everyone of us (no matter how loud Wayne plays that Madonna bootleg). But I am certain of … Continue reading Perfect Distractions: Ce Ce Peniston ‘Finally’ (Mikalis 2012 Unofficial Mix)
