Not given it a proper listen through yet but I do like ‘Lotus Flower’ and the accompanying video. Also in my news, long-time friend of the blog Hostage sent over his new track and it kicks and bumps in all the right places…. then decides to slap you in the face with its huge clubby balls. Dope! Finally, just finished watching Spaced again and this Lemon Jelly song rounds off what is probably one of my favourite TV programs ever. DANCE COLIN! DANCE FOR ME!

Case in point is ‘Sweet Sweet Riddim’ a Prodigy-style rave-a-thon. Impossible not to do the laptop headbop while this is on! APPROVED!

He’s a fan of the sausage…ahahha I totally meant the food. Saw him blitz Cabaret Voltaire on Friday and, being an absolute gentleman, he’s only gone and emailed me 3 of his newest tracks (all in glorious 320kbps!!). He must’ve saw me in the crowd – I was wearing the “Hi Hostage, Please Email Me 3 Bangers, KTHXBAI” t-shirt… and what do you know, it worked.

Before you start though, click on ‘Click To Play All Audio Posts‘ at the bottom of the screen. Wow. How does that feel? Feeling woozy yet? Yeah thats exactly what my brain sounded like as I was trying to get to sleep after seeing Boysy Noizey! We’d had it planned for a while that we’d go full NEON RAVE stylee, but that didn’t prepare us for when we got into the club. Two minutes after we arrived (literally in the cloak queue) we got asked “GOAT ENNY PULZ MATE?” haha. To be fair, we did look like a bunch of pill-popping eck-heads LMAO!

here we are

He played a cracking set, sprinkled with tracks from his new album ‘Power‘ and ‘Oi Oi Oi‘, as well as the odd remix. My favourite was when he played ‘Jeffer’. Me + my crewz all attempted the crazy dancing seen in the fan-made video. Best drop of the night for me though was when the Soulwax remix of ‘Mind Dimension‘ landed. I think I almost exploded. I’d say the biggest cheer of the night was for ‘My Moon My Man‘.

there he is

Yeah, thats him in the picture. It’s quite far away eh. We partied til about 4am (Boys Noize finished about 3am) bustin-a-groove to my main man Hostage then left soon after.

Listen: Kid Alex – Ja!
Listen: Hostage – Hangin

BTW Kid Alex is Boys Noize. Alter ego. Three men and a little ego. NapolEgo dynamite. Eternal sunshine of the spotless ego. Ego Vs. Kramer. Big ego in little china. Also, I’ve heard ‘Power’. Good stuff. Very good stuff. :D

Hostage about the summer mix he’s put together. I think Noise Porn said it best…

“This has to be one of the best mixes i have heard in a very long time (*currently chair dancing as i write this) because it contains a perfect balance of big club bangers and lesser known gems. Everything about it is well thought out and tastefully done (including somewhat less well known tracks makes for an educating and interesting listen). This is a great representation of what any Hostage set would be like- absolutely banging!!!”

MP3: Hostage – Sunburn Mix ’09

Really like this mix. Pushes all my fun buttonz. Any mix that finishes with that Proxy remix is fine in my book.

His next release will be a remix of Foamo‘s ‘Wardance’, apparently, along with remixes from Reso and Hijack
