‘Tis the season to be jolly. ‘Tis the season to look back at an amazing year, marvel at the achievements our communities have made together, congratulate Pride and its many, many fundraisers and supporters, and yes, shout from the rooftops about the gorgeous music we’ve all had a wiggle to in 2015. Blimey what a wiggle! Have a merry and downright marvellous Christmas and a … Continue reading Wildblood + Queenie’ Wonders of 2015
It’s been months in the making but we can finally say summer is here. Summer in Brighton. Nothing gets more glorious. So here are a few essential tunes to keep you wiggling in the sunshine. First up is the low-key electronica of Seb Wildblood’s Foreign Parts on SW Records. Fabulous surname aside, Wildblood’s thoughtful and enchanting beats had us hooked from first listen.

Just like a certain evil dictator I too spent most of yesterday ranting about my inabilty to secure Kraftwerk tickets. But then I counted my blessings. Well the set of tickets already pinned to my kitchen fridge. The first of which consists of Audio’s Tropical NYE Party with Eats Everything, Dusky, Neal Schtumm, Charles Green and Nick Sabin. Sold out and fabulous. Just how I … Continue reading Motel x NYE Late with Huxley and Maxxi Soundsystem
Here we go then, the years running out on us. But before we head into another twelve months of late night grins, early morning shenanigans and new basslines of we just know we’re gonna fall for, its time to reflect on the wonders of 2011. Just like you lot, this year has been quality. Best compilations go to Fabric 59: Jamie Jones’, Hotwaves I & … Continue reading Wildblood and Queenie’s Wonders of 2011
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. Royston ‘Open Your Eyes’
What is it about a bouncy bassline, a lazy vocal and a repetitive beat that gets to me? When house tunes can so often rely on breakdowns bigger than Arthur Fowler’s to get them on a DJ’s playlist, for me the lure of Art Department and their subtle groove and quality enhanced basslines gets stronger everyday. Today as I plodded through an inbox filled with … Continue reading Perfect Distraction schtumm! presents…Art Department @ Audio, Brighton15.07.11
I should be writing an essay. I’m nearly there – 3000 outta 5000 but I’m being distracted. Another soul departed, another genius gone and I’m beginning to worry. Is this what getting old is all about? The best shuffling off and you left hitting play to remember. Today it’s Martin Rushent who’s left us. Way too young, way too early and responsible for way too … Continue reading Where the people look good and the music is loud. Remembering Martin Rushent
Everybody needs a mix to lean on as some pop combo once sang. And so it is this month with Messers Pablo Contraband and Maxxi Soundsystem. Each have delivered a right spring wonder. Pablo earns further Wildblood respect as he delves into Wolf Music, the deeper side of Crosstown Rebels and one my my current must-plays Deniz Kurtzel (God that girl is goooood!). Maxxi Soundsystem … Continue reading Mixes to make you go mmmm……. Pablo Contraband & Maxxi Soundsystem
