I recorded a mix the other night. Only really intended to drop a few records for a mate who needed something for an event. Got a bit carried away and ended up doing a 6 hour mix. There's plenty of mistakes, but there's also plenty fucking amazing tunes so I thought I'd share it:

Need to get hold of Drifter (MC)

Anyone know him?

Cheers.

Drop the whiney synth in the intro and flesh out that bass in the main and you've got a fuckin hearse, right here!

I like this a lot. The mix could use work to make it HIT a little harder. Otherwise though, love it.

snare is a bit quiet

Gwan rinse!

Moved to Amsterdam recently. The only thing i miss is my beloved Rinse. Driving home from the studio, rinse locked on the car sound. Lost count the ammount times i had to pull over and just stare in wonder at the dash. Golden period for me was 2005/6.

Nuff rispekt all Rinse Kru

Christ.. just been going through my old 12"s and dug 'Burnin' out. Not heard it in Tiiiiiiiiiiiiime.

Mate. Still remember first time i heard this dropped at FWD, whole fucking building got compressed into the densest, most heavyweight ball of excited bass frenzy I've EVER experienced.

Your chest ...

Make it heave.

Make it your own.

If you'd seriously be happy to do pretty much anything, PM me and i can hook you up with some PRs etc that might need some interns. Its shit work but you're bound to pick something up/meet some people.

Music industry is dying on its feet tho mate, staff are becoming less and less necessary. Figure ...

They're quite skinny these stabs but for good detroit style stabs i find the best place to start is with a nice organ. it has that emmediate Attack which you need and if you've built it yourself, a control over the decay/sustain which is where you'll be able to introduce your own evolution to the ...

A few recomended listens of some new (this year moreOrLess) shit you might love/hate:

Tortoise - Beacons of Ancestorship
Bloody Mary - Black Pearl
Vladislav Delay - Tummaa
James Blackshaw - Black Bead Game
Sonar Kollektiv Orchester - Rej (remix)
Stimming - Reflections
Fever Ray - Fever Ray
Ben ...

Experiment with EQ'ing out a 'hole' for it in the mix.

I often find subtraction, rather than addition, yeilds better results.

Fuck me.. havent listened to this record in ages. Just put it on. Completely blew my mind.

Out to you Burial, first track i heard by you.. instantly knew I'd found an artist worth following.

agreed. bad call.. still though, he was nomiated. way i see it, the nominees of mercury are pretty much always the 'winners' .. their music is generally better and they're not stigmatized by the hot spot of 'win'.

well done burial for getting the nomination. good fuckin work homes.

Dynaudio make excellent active monitors.

2 words tho:

- Only buy active, their passive speakers are coloured to fuck and are no use at all.

- Make sure that you spend as much time treating your acousitc space as you have researching the speakers you're about to put in it.

put your beats on the forum, theres nuff DJ's about. If they're good, they'll get played. If they're really good, someone'll press em.

Looking out for some new bits on grime scene.. last thing i picked up which i liked was Skepta's album. Feel like i'm out of the loop... Rinse play so little grime these days i'm missing my feed.

Anyone got some recommendations ? Tootsi .. whats in yer bag mate ?
