And a right on-song pong it was tonight. All a bit of a voyage of discovery at the moment as I learn my way around the practicalities of the mighty fine Faderfox MIDI mixer, and the ludicrous possibilities of Traktor Pro... but what a gas it all is.
More importantly the tunes are coming through thick, treacly and excess essential at the minute - I can see there will be stuff from England that I will probably never get to play on the show, maybe an opportunity for a couple of mass postings.
As for England, they got this all wrong..

The noxious odours were spreading from further south - deep in the Pacific, and their origins were considerably more musical in nature.
Hanyways, a fair chunk of writing currently on the go, so maybe I'll wang out a non-radio show post (finally!) as light relief in the next few days. To tide things over - have to run a tune from what is undoubtedly one of the mixtapes of the year. Basically.... Somalian superstar in the making - K'naan, and discerning DJ Don-ito J.Period do over a bunch of Bob Dylan, Fela Kuti and Bob Marley over 3 sessions - all exquisitely dealt to with utterly essential interludes and a proper sense of proper. For my money (and I know I'm not alone on this) it's really all about the Dylan, this is the sort of thing that could come off so very very wrong, and yet it doesn't, at least for my money.. and I'm not generally well disposed towards folk mussing with some of my favourite songs.
Enough of my yakking, you can DL the whole thing for freeee here so don't take my word for it, or do - and check it out. You can even cop the Deluxe edition which has the trio and a couple of extra tunes, all fer nix.

So many tunes to play, a few tales to tell but right now the consideration is getting back to match fitness and catching up on the massive Stinky Grooves/Stinky Jim/Round Trip Mars backlog so just a quick ed's oop and we'll get to some postings of the recent Englandular fever soonest.
These two oustanding Orstraylians The Canyons are playing at Cassette #9 this Saturday as part of a Modular melange type shindig and I'm predicting it's going to be well worthy of a poke around. Now signed to DFA (with a first 12" which I kept meaning to buy in UK records shops, then deciding I could get it here soon just as easy or download for cash from some suitably smart file purveyor.. so bought something that didn't apply to.. instead) it was their remixes of the indescribably excellent Perth outfit Tame Impala which really blew my circuits and had me paying attention like a freshly beaten school-lad. That delightful discovery was led to, by a standout video for 'Half Glass Full Of Wine' which I much later discovered was may by the very special pals that are Special Problems, small world and maybe I didn't check out their website regularly enough - as they pointed out.
The EP this is from is just genius, it has everything I love about worthwhile remixes that take material to another place altogether while maintaining full respect. Anyone who's produced the three tracks they have on this gets my tick, thumbprint and moody presence on the edge of the dancefloor for sure. If their 'Blue Snakes' cut for Comso Vitelli's latest I'm A Cliche comp and 'Big City Lights' on Milky Disco 2, alongside their deviant discoid 12" on their own Hole In The Sky label are anything to go on, the Cassette is a safe bet on Saturday night.
As it goes Tame Impala are ridonkulously groovy in themselves and I recommend all of their gear unreservedly, they've been recording albloom business in some shack down south from Perth apparently...... my breath is suitably baited.
Guff awaits your gaze below and as ever.. this is the ONLY time I ever reduce the sound quality of files to 192kbps because the idea is to point your paying finger at the links and score the whole kit and caboodle at a much more lascivious and frankly necessary bitrate whilest doing your bit for supporting quality artists and shops in the process....purlease.
Buy the hi-qualitative DL from the totally terrific Turntable Lab, vinyl - i no so sure, keep 'em peeled
