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-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-002: TuneStep Vol.2

A lengthier mix this week, and for the second in this series I thought i'd seize the opportunity to offer up a second mix in my TuneStep series (because it *will* be a series, haha).

The driving force behind these mixes is "tuneful 2-step". So y'know: deep, slightly off-kilter garage/house/dubstep beats. To be completely honest I wouldn't want to try and nail individual categories on some of these records. Life's too short but hopefully there's a consistent feel.

Apologies in advance for the volume cut-outs/annoyances at certain points - a channel fader on my mixer is starting to give up the good fight and it's going to cost me nuff dollarz to replace it so we'll see how I get around that (or not) in the next few weeks. Good start eh? ;)
