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-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.

52M-010: Live @ De Cuba 10/03/12

This is what I tend to get up to on a Saturday night...

An hour or so of sunshine party music taken from my 5-hour set last night at Cardiff's Vodka Revolution nightclub. I play upstairs in the Revolucion De Cuba rum-bar most Saturdays so the order of the day here is a healthy slice of summery funk, goodtime disco and latin vibes. As usual with one of my party sets there's the odd bootleg, remix, and cock-up (can't win 'em all). I hope you like.

*shakes maracas*

52M-009: Future Funk 2

It's been far too long since my last Future Funk mix and, with crippling popular demand* for another one, I finally pulled my finger out and sorted it this weekend.

The theme here is modern takes on funk: so there's everything from the sublime and soulful (Buscrates, Electric Wire Hustle, Blackpocket) to bassy neck-snappers (Leonard DStroy, Lopez) via out-and-out nu-funk gems (Darkhouse Fam, Max Butter, B.Bravo) and leftfield electro-wonk (Salva, Funkineven).

It's all over the place stylistically but that's kind of the point. Strap yourself in and get your funk on...

* two people.

52M-007: Soul Suite 2

Another installment in the Soul Suite series this week, recorded live as part of a two hour show on Purple Radio's "Saturday Soul".

Very much a mix of two halves, this one starts out nice and mellow and eventually moves uptempo to a slightly more broken beat, housier selection to close. I hope you enjoy.

52M-001: Let's Get Ill

Off we go then...here's the very first installment in my 52 Mixtapes project. It's a lively, party-starting mix of hip-hop, funk, a bit of jazz, plenty of turntablism and a bit of mashupping. There's a few old favourites in there (i'll never get bored of that Cut Chemist remix of Shadow's "Number Song") as well as a few more recent treats.

I'm scraping the minimum timeframe barrel (this one clocks in at just over 32mins) but hey: it's still obeying the rules. And it's Friday. Which this mix will hopefully enforce with gusto. Plus i'm not exactly going to chuck my wad with a 2hour megamix in the opening week.

As usual: two turntables, a mixer, Torq...and some swearing. Enjoy!
