I'm back

So it has been a while since my last post, I've been well busy with uni work and personal issues. Anyway I'm back and ready to go and what better way to start than with a free CD. Hell yeah, I wasn't expecting it but this weekend gone I got Kinny's album "Idle Forest of Chit Chat" in the post. So even before I listened to the album I was in high spirits, but these were only hightened by listening to the ablum. I'd had the good fortune to listen to some of the album before it was released, but there were some undiscovered gems I hadn't heard. The album as a whole works really well, from the moment you take a glance at the artwork and the label (tru-thoughts) you know it's gonna be good. Petrified Dazed feat. TM Juke has got that early TM Juke sound and a little bit of Quanticnish too (yeah that's a word), horns, latin vibes, soulful vocals and tasty chord progressions, that's my kind of track. Other stand out tracks were the title track "Idle Forest of Chit Chat" one of two Souldrop productions on the album, I'm definitely gonna keep an eye out for Souldrop in the future. Actually I can't be bothered to list all the tracks I like, because it's the majority of the album, so yeah check it out and thank me later. Peace & Love

I will be back on board soon.

Sorry really busy with uni work at the moment. When I've got more free time I will bring back the blogging got some Hint tracks to talk about and some other stuff too. much love and sorry about the wait.

Went to see Bonobo last night @ audio, was actually a pretty decent night. Great sets by Rob & Bonobo. Rob started a little bit dubsteppy, also dropping floating points. Nice to hear some good music being played in a Brighton club, suprisingly rare. Bonobo obviously had a lot of fans in who where cheering every track, played some of his own tracks and a nice little drop of Onra's "The Anthem". So yeah all in all a good night, looking forward to seeing some more tru-thoughts nights in the future. Also briefly bumped into Hint, who was in amongst the punters.

Q-Tip

Just a quick word to say how amazing Saturday night was. Worldwide 10 at the Camden Roundhouse with Q-Tip, DJ Semtex, The bPm, Dorian Concept, Little Dragon, Gilles Peterson and Benji B. The music was incredible, I felt at times the levels in the venue weren't right, but nonetheless Q-Tip was a superstar, stage presence, talent and charisma all working together to create the best show I've ever seen. yeah well done Gilles and the gang see you at Koko for Mulatu & The Heliocentrics. Oh and cheers to Toby & Abby for their hospitality.

More hype about Mayer Hawthorne this week, this time from Gilles Peterson, with a storming track "Maybe So Maybe No". That's a big track. Also a little floating points showcase, including a wicked live track feat. Fatima. Gonna leave you with a video for "Love Me Like This" Floating Points. Enjoy

House Party

It may be a bit gimmicky and there are a few too many celebs, but I do like this advert and it makes me want to go to a decent house party


plus new GP show tonight, so more recommendations on the way i think. much love

This is well worth a watch from Stones Throw Records Mayer Hawthorne – "Just Ain’t Gonna Work Out" on a wicked heart shaped vinyl, believe it or not this is new music.
and I think it's worth playing the b-side as well Mayer Hawthorne – "When I Said Goodbye"
