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 Distraction: Little Boots ‘Shake’ Atlantic Records
This is most pleasing. The plastic makes me warm, the beats make me warmer. The disco love this lass has impresses whilst the spin has me, mesmerising like circulating smalls on a rainy afternoon in the laundrette. I’ve tried to break down the elements that are getting to me but I can’t. Something about me ‘Shake’ is making me shake and I like it. Little … Continue reading Perfect Distraction: Little Boots ‘Shake’ Atlantic Records
A journey with Matilda: Sewing machines, scissors and a Monkey called Blackberry
Saturday the 5th of November was Matilda Day. An entire day dedicated to getting the shot right and getting past the technical blindness that seems to blight my photography. And yet today, as we worked with ideas and talked through the objects we were photographing and what they meant to Matilda the technical was pushed to one side in favour of the creative. We started … Continue reading A journey with Matilda: Sewing machines, scissors and a Monkey called Blackberry
A journey with Matilda: A golden Citroen DS
Late October and I was praying for clear skies and for Matilda’s dad to unleash the Citroen DS. I got both. Just. After discussions regarding the rain and returning the car to its rightful place, Matilda and I set to work in the most comfortable car seats known to man. It wasn’t easy. The seats may have yelled comfortable but Matilda wasn’t. A quick yell … Continue reading A journey with Matilda: A golden Citroen DS
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. A slice of the future that acknowledges the past with sublime style. I’m in love. Hurry up and promo this Inner City wonder Defected. 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)

Beauty comes in small packages: Jonny Trunk and James Kendall
Gotta love the weekend papers. Today they quelled my distaste for the supermarket as they pointed me towards Jonny Trunk’s Own Label: Sainsbury’s Design Studio, 1962-1977, published by Fuel. The simplicity of design makes up for the short change in pocket that ensures you slum it with the own brand and reminded me of the joy that was the early Tesco Value Range and those … Continue reading Beauty comes in small packages: Jonny Trunk and James Kendall
