I'm going to a 10th birthday party this weekend.


Sometimes living in Brighton has its benefits, one of these is being in the hometown of Tru Thoughts Records. They are celebrating 10 years of quality music with various gigs, and one of these is in our very own Brighton, this Friday (16th) at Coalition. The Line up is as follows:
Belleruche (Live)
Lizzy Parks (Acoustic)
Nostalgia 77 (DJ)
Kinny (Live PA)
Flevans (DJ)
TM Juke (DJ)
Natural Self (DJ)
Hint (DJ)
Hosted by Robert Luis



Also check out the Tru Thoughts 10 Year Anniversary Ltd 3 Disc Book, I'm just gonna steal the blurb "We are very proud to announce the launch of an astounding collection of music compiled from our 10 year history. This numbered limited edition 32 page booklet features 3 cd's; 2 of which are a 'best of' selection, compiled by Robert Luis (with help from the entire staff!) of classics that have sold well, defined the label or simply tracks we love! The third disc is entirely exclusive to this package and are tracks commisioned just for this project". For more info check out the Tru Thoughts Website @ www.tru-thoughts.co.uk

Anyway if your in Brighton then come along and I'll see you there.

Taking it back to the old school.

Just wanted to share with you a video of the great Oscar Peterson doing his thing. This is part 1 of a set of videos featuring Oscar Peterson and Andre Previn. If you go to youtube.com you'll find the rest of the videos, it's well worth a watch. There is nothing I'd rather listen to.

Settled In


Sorry folks, I've been without internet for a while due to moving house, I'm now settling down in Brighton for the start of another year of university. Not much to report, but I would recommend as always checking out Gilles Peterson's latest show, featuring Quantic in Conversation.
