52M-017: Damp Squib

Don't know what it's been like where you are but we've had some proper harsh weather here this week, so here's a mix of rainy day music I put together this morning while the heavens opened outside.

It's mostly loungey downtempo stuff, with nods to hip-hop, jazz, disco and soul along the way.

I suspect it *might* work equally well on a sunny afternoon. I'll let you know about that when summer decides to arrive...

52M-015: Bare Grillz

Summer and long balmy sunny days approach us (optimistic as ever) so I thought i'd jump the gun and knock out a BBQ mixtape. I'll probably do a few of these as the warmer weather gets more consistent, and this one's quite a relaxed mix to get us started. A "soaking the firelighters and prepping the Pimms" or "welcoming guests to the lawn" selection, if you will.

Make sure your guests/kids don't mind bad language cos there's a bit of it on the hip-hop tracks. Thing is if you're doing it right the guests will be swearing over how fucking good your grilled meats are, so no worries in the long run.

Enjoy! and always ensure your poultry is thoroughly cooked through...

52M-013: TuneStep Vol.3

More glorious Tunestep for you this week - and now i'm up to three mixes of the stuff I think I can definitely afford to start calling it "a series".

I am totally blown away by the opener on this one - Disclosure has nailed it with this remix and I reckon it could easily hold out to be one of the tunes of 2012. Amazing stuff. I'm also pleased I managed to wedge the VIP take of Monky's "Drunkerdz" into a mix too - he's a top producer and criminally overlooked at present. You can grab the original cut of Drunkerdz off the Brownswood Electric 2 compilation.

Heads down, skank on...

52M-012: Eclectronica Pt.2

It's another delve into the electronica crates this week with a selection that starts off all moody dubby halftimey bassy, and eventually shifts up a gear to encompass a bit of a future funk, big beat and shouty set of finishers. Definitely a few nappy-fillers here, so make sure you're wearing sturdy strides.
