neon video
Finally its here, i say finally because it took more than once to get this right. Big thanks to Andy Hylton and the crew for this little slice of a Neon night 
The Lazy Blogger
Yeah thats me, its been way too long and im doubting theres even one person left reading this because of my utter slackness but im not gonna lie its been a hard, mad year and its made me very lazy in terms of blogging. So much to catch up on…some might say even too much so im not gonna back track too much, more try to push things forward
Right now im in my kitchen still suffering from jet lag after an awesome week in LA. Big shouts to the Winter Fresh Crew for getting me over there and to all the faces that took me places, i particularly enjoyed driving on the wrong side of the road for the first time…not as scary as i thought it would be thanks to the perfect soundtrack provided by Backspin radio, literally every song you want to hear about Cali/LA when your drivin through it
Speaking of scary no doubt alot of you will have witnessed Strategy’s Voodoo priest get up for the terror dome anthem from DubPhisix, Skeptical & himself ‘Marka‘. Absolute salute to the Manc contingency on this one, the video which is already over 100,000 views on the tube is like an excerpt from a movie i wouldnt watch alone. Nice to see alot of support for this track which no doubt will be smacking a speaker system near you over the festive period!
In closing i obviously have to direct anyone in the Manchester area towards The Ritz tomorrow night (Monday) for Hit n Run vs Riot Jazz. Ill be jumping on for a few tunes with the RJ Brass Band ad mist a heavy line up as always ft Silkie, Drumagik and more 
See you there or back on here now im not being so lazy
beware, sleeping giants!
Euro-cultured this weekend in Manchester has as per usual a MASSIVE line-up blaring quality music rain or shine all thru the bank holiday. Looking forward to seeing the return of Jehst (who is not my postman, gutted) at Hit n Run on Monday but most excited bout the first live performance from Sleeping Giants aka Zed Bias, Fallacy & Rodney P BLAOW!!! Its a killa combo indeed, the above a little preview featuring the ever illusive Btch Pls See ya in the city this weekend….
fukkk offf i was so close…
Played at the 2nd night of Genevas Mapping Festival on Friday @ Zoo, got mad excited when i saw Fukkk Offf on the line up but he wasn’t playing til next week 
Have made up for missing him by blastin this tune out far too many times today along with the whole Love me, Hate Me, Kiss Me, Kill me album, stormy sundays are all about this right here!
me & b run the world – yee’ha!
Its no secret that as of late i’d fallen out of love with the child of destiny mostly due to the growing lack of connection between her song lyrics and anyone that actually isnt Beyonce, however im definately feeling the feminist fantasy anthem ‘Run the world (Girls)‘ from her new album Four.
Cant decide if, like D1′s mum im liking it because of the women run tings attitude or because of Ty Hunters fierce fashion styling but whatever shes moving back up my barometer with and i quote “an edgier new sound” (cringe) which you might recognise as Major Lazers ‘Pon de floor’ rhythm and an army of half naked gurls fashioned in Arabian Nights meets Chicago’s Prison Tango costumes, weekend clubbing is about to get dangerous you have been warned fellas
Love love love the hats, the Erickson Beamon headress, her Mary J meets Gareth Pugh two tone eyebrows, the gold fabric rope necklaces on the dancing dudes, the upside down revisited sand dance, i could go on but im already boring myself….
dance download of the week!
Shouts to DJ Chris G dance music writer @ Joe for showing some love for D1 & mines collab Flood of Emotion in his Dance downloads of the week section Included in the piece is an awesome free download from Wreckage Machinery along with links to some great new releases from Emalkay, Lamb and the Orb ! Thanks for putting us in such nice company mista
ow!
So what started on Thursday as a dull twinge has developed over the weekend into a left leg spasm inducing almighty back pain. I have been advised to do next to nothing for a day or two, which of course i intially ignored due to being halfway through moving into a studio and decorating my bedroom. Then at precisely 11.36 this morning whilst bending down to screw together my bed post and base together, what can only be described as a triillion ameoba sized evil dwarfs stabbed me from the inside out using plastic forks and electric tasers…i have never felt such pain even though im sure theres worse, which in no way i would like to experience. Im currently lying as instructed on my side (legs slighty bent as above) whilst cursing myself for not listening and consoling myself with Ikea cinnamon buns, Words with Friends (hit me up JennaralG for a match) and Hot Sauce Committee Part 2
wobble control
Twittered this video earlier in the week but the mp3 just landed in my inbox thanks to All Young Kings doing their promo ting! Mr Scruff as funky as ever and being played loudly in my car whilst driving windows open through Chorlton before i return it back to the rental shop! Wobble Control 12″ vinyl out now at the Ninja Shop
source 16 teaser ;)
Ah this is just brilliant! Short promo for Redlights Source 16 single out soon on Digital Soundboy!
chilli grill vs nandos – its beef
Manchester residents might be all to familiar with Fallowfields Chilli Grill, not so familiar however with the Chilli Grillionaire. Get acquainted amidst the beef that is the fallowfield chicken wars, Chilli if you please…
if it ain’t broken, today i ain’t listening
Ballin on a Budget was crazy last night big shout to the Broke n £nglish boys n crew for a right royal knees up! Still in the dancing mood im blasting out the Deep Down & Broken podcast (thank you Nicola!) why oh why are there only 4 of them? Anyways whilst 2 stepping i found this song which has to be the perfect companion for my long lost favourite Tequila 1800. Drink it warm, in the sun with this on the speakers you’ll be far from wrong
theres a stillness in time
Pulled out Jamiroquais Return Of The Space Cowboy from the CD rack this week and it hasn’t left my stereo since, such perfect music for the glorious weather and it still sounds more than relevant 17 years after its release. Definately my favourite album from Jay Kay and the lads i’d forgotten just how amazing some of the songs are; Half The Man, Mr Moon & Morning Glory!! Do not play these when your alone with me if you dont want me to jump your bones! Far to early (in the UK) for any rumpy pumpy so hows about this little beauty instead, enjoy
beastie boys comic genius!
Their back and all in my grill, well actually they never went away, in fact one of thems my friends neghbour but thats irrelevant and in no way as entertaining as this piece of hip-hop comic genius! Will Farrel, Jack Black, Danny Macbride, Seth Rogan and more…watch.love.laugh and get ready for the short movie Fight For Your Right Revisited out soon ;0)
softly softly ;)
Love the beginning of a new week, all be it a day late thanks to the bank holiday (hope you all had a blissful one like mine Woke up to a host of new music in my inbox all set for release in the following month. Pick of the bunch has to be this ever so soft and sparse beauty from Eglo’s 1st Lady Fatima, production from Floating Points. May i suggest listening to it with a Corn Oil cocktail and a cutie close, jus to put that cherry on the cake
say free at 500!
Im definately late on this one but its better than never in my books!
To say thank you for the first 500 followers on his new Facebook page ,Manchester drum and bass producer Dub Phizix is giving away his remix of Sabre’s 100 teeth for free online. For every 500 followers who like his page Dub Phizix will give away another free tune.

manchester music mondays
Manchester is repping pretty hard right now, lots of artists making some BIG moves and GREAT music, STANDARD So Mondays are now OFFICIALLY dedicated to all things musical from my city. First up on my magical Manc melody tour is the ever troublesome but always lovable Skittles with his new single Tip-i-cal-ly from the forthcoming album ‘Poor with £100 trainers’ if the title hasn’t got you wanting more already then maybe 2010′s free download of the pre:P will get you salivating for the album which drops this year! Catch me performing at the Manchester album launch April 6th at Noho, in the meantime enjoy the below sampler featuring remixes from Chimpo, Dom Hz and more
station sessions – ed sheeran
I’ve been too many places recently where this guys name has cropped up, finally found some time to look him up on the inter web and found this awesome performance at Station Sessions. Brilliant concept, brilliant execution!
