ZOMFG! Just announced that Boys Noize will be playing City Nightclub on 28th August. Can you believe it??! I only saw him last month! Got my ticket earlier! GIRFUY! Sent out a heowge feeler text to see who was up for it and everybody that has replied so far has been a “FUCK YES!”. This is gonna be such a good festival. Know what else? Clubs don’t shut til 5am during the festival!! I think I need to change my knickers.
Fuck knows why but this song was in my head all day and I didn’t even know who it was by. I remembered it was from a comedy film I’d just watched but I couldn’t place it. I googled the lyrics I could vaguely remember and BANG! Herpes. Just joshing. It was Dumb and Dumber and the song was ‘The Rain, The Park & Other Things’ by The Cowsills. Big in ‘67.
I wasn’t sure about the new Calvin-Harris-produced-Chrome-featuring-brand-spanking-new-never-been-heard-before-world-exclusive (I might’ve taken some artistic license there) Dizzee Rascal single ‘Holiday’ when I first heard it. And now I hear you cry? I can’t get enough. Think its because the quality of the rips out there were quite poor. I acquired (LOL) a better version and, I won’t lie, I’ve played the shit out of the little sunny fucker. I haven’t heard it in the club setting yet, but I can imagine from 2.45 onwards all hell breaks loose.
This Don Diablo remix is also very good. This man has cranked out some absolutely storming remixes and its no wonder why he’s one of the most blogged about DJs around! p.s. Check that bass!
I’ve been so busy lately I’ve not had a chance to update this but I’ll give it a go. I saw Brodinski last Friday at Sugarbeat!!! He played an absolute stormer. I was supoosed to meet my flatemate there but he eventually couldn’t get in due to his friend being gloriously inebriated (i.e. steamin’!). Nevermind though, the night had a turn up for the books when I met a couple of old/new friends and had a total blast. I think I may have found new gig buddies. Oh yeah, and he dropped this bomb…
Complete change of tone for Bibio. This summery pluckfest (and his album for that matter) has been hogging my eardrums this week. Lovers’ Carvings hooked me within the first 5 seconds.
This Don Diablo remix of Frankmusik’s ‘Confusion Girl’ is just a really great remix/rework of a so-so song. Kind of like that Duke Dumont remix (read: total annihilation) of Lily Allen’s ‘The Fear’.
Finally, apart from Bibio, the Cryptonites‘ ‘Night Drive Mixtape’ has been on basically non-stop. Really really good mix and exactly my kind of taste at this very moment!! I’ve taken the liberty of posting a couple of tracks from the mixtape because they’re very good.

“Goethe’s final words: ‘More light’. Ever since we crawled out of that primordial slime, that’s been our unifying cry: ‘More light’. Sunlight. Torchlight. Candlelight. Neon. Incandescent. Lights that banish the darkness from our caves, to illuminate our roads, the insides of our refrigerators. Big floods for the night games at Soldier’s field. Little tiny flashlights for those books we read under the covers when we’re supposed to be asleep. Light is more than watts and candles. Light is metaphor.” Chris Stevens, Northern Exposure (1990)
The internet is a fast moving beast, so the streaming MP3s that are posted may not work after a while due to them being taken down. And since I can't be arsed uploading them all again it's tough shite. I'll always post a link to a downloadable MP3 though. As always, if you like what you hear - away and buy it eh!
p.s. if I've put up a song you'd rather not see here then let me know, you can email me here
