Here’s an hour and 5 minutes from Greg in anticipation of our party with him, BLM & Bearweasel at Basing House on the 15th Feb. Lots of lovely music in this including especially exceptional detours from Mr Larger, Burial, Alan Backdrop and Jacques Renault. Greg needed new press pics but as you can see, opted for a pencil drawing instead as he decided it was more underground. Lovely big face. What do you think?

GetDownGood ressie Tom Bulwer digs deep through his favourite February cuts and fires a rather lovely hour of dark and naughty house type fodder into the ether… enjoy it!
This lovely little gem is taken from Shade Of Gray’s full length, out now on Beef Records. Definitely one of the darker offerings on the album, the chopped up vocal imparts a ghostly, African inspired element whilst moody pads provide a warming backdrop. Add some funky, kick-snare-kick action and all my musical boxes are ticked. I like it alot.
There’s plenty more on this album that deserves your attention, much of it sample based, dancefloor orientated and laced with soul and disco sensibility. To whet your appetite SOG are giving one of the more low slung numbers away…for nadda. Download it here. The album also features a remix on each track from some farily prolific players. More info.
I’d like to finish Thursday off with the inevitable Nicolas Jaar post. After a fairly sustained pause he offers up this two track EP for no charge at all, probably inciting enough hysteria to ensure no one can get tickets for the tour it precedes. I went to fabric though, and it was uncomfortably rammed, thus I am happy to dwell on this in the comfort of my own ears. Typically down-tempo and beautifully minimal, Jaar builds layer upon layer of noise eventually finding a groove and then, some bass. Lovely!
More Ibzian Riviera than Devonshire coast, this is Jamie Blanco’s 808 Acid remix of a Metronomy song. I have to be completely honest: I wasn’t bowled over by ‘The English Riviera’. Completely personal preference, but for all its ice creams and seagulls, it didn’t get into my soul. I just didn’t find any of the melodies catchy enough, I didn’t like a quality in the vocals and I therefore dismissed it because I am mean. I do however honestly love this. I love the warmth the bassline brings, I am truly astounded by what is unlocked on that drum machine, and as it clicks purposefully into the last breakdown, I adore it when the Charles-B-esque acid descends on the ending. I also concede a previous point, the vocal works…in this instance. It’s available to download on Jamie’s Soundcloud, how lovely!
Here’s my latest mix to warm you all up for GetDownGood @ Public Life on Friday the 30th September.
Recorded with 1210′s, an Allen & Heath 92 and a bag of wax..
Here is a tune that many a Burnski advocate will have been waiting for. Most will have been aimlessly searching for ‘Believe’ however, due to the fact it has been tracklisted as such numerous times . So here it is, Orange and Blue, and he’s giving it away for free, handsome man! On an inter-ma-web saturated with half arsed social media campaigns, this one’s refreshingly simple; give us your email and we’ll give you a bloody amazing track. So get over there and give em what they want.
