WE HAVE MOVED


We're now over on Posterous. The reason behind the move is to help facilitate more posting. Things had become a little laborious with Blogger so we've called time on this site.

In reality though it shouldn't make a huge difference as we've migrated the main URL - so going to www.thecosmictruth.com will take you to the most up to date incarnation.

Make sure to keep on checking for gigs, music, mixes, radio, pics and general rambling.

Happy New Year

Hey there... It's been too long. Sorry.

Hope you all had a good end to 2010, and saw in 2011 with a smile. Thanks to the Electric Minds gang for having us at the 6zer0 NYE party... There are some pics about which we will post up here soon.

In the mean time, here's a couple of mixes I dug up during the Christmas holidays:

Here's What Happened When I Pressed Play (recorded in November 2010)

Slow Burning mix (from way back in Christmas 2005!)

Bestival Recorded Live

Unable to do our September radio show due to already being on the Isle Of Wight, our ingenious producer Steve O brought across some gizmo that allowed us to record our set and broadcast that instead.

For once there's no need to endure our terrible crack!



Oh and after looking back at some vids of the set, I spotted America's Most Wanted villain in the crowd. Clever chap - the FBI would never think to look for Osama at a UK music festival...




..and also making a surprise DJ appearance was John 'Bergerac' Nettles, standing in for Rik 'To The Bone' Moran. He told us he prefers his house music thrapry, not throddy. You heard it here first!

Electric Minds Loft Party


After a busy summer festival hopping, it feels great to be gearing up for a good old late night disco party somewhere in east London. Especially so when the party is thrown by our friends at Electric Minds, who've been putting together some of the most exciting events in London over the last year or so.

Set in a spacious, airy loft space, overlooking the streets of Shoreditch, kitted out with a hefty Funktion One soundsystem, and packed to the rafters with happy, smiley people, these parties have provided us with some of the best nights out we've had for ages. Check out the gallery from the last party, with Mark E and Move D here.


From it's inception, the Electric Minds Loft Party series has been a breath of fresh air, and a massive injection of fun, into London'd clubbing landscape. With programming that has seen local party crews paired with international guests, rising stars next to established trend-shapers, and boundaries pushed by introducing alternative sounds from the likes of critically acclaimed Commix to what can sometimes feel like a somewhat samey scene. The line up this time is no less impressive, with Innervision's Marcus Worgull joined by the excellent Christopher Rau, plus Electric Minds label boss Dolan Bergin, and our good selves!

The last few tickets are selling fast, so grab yourself one asap, and we'll see you on the dance floor!

Diskjokkes

Hello to everyone we met at V Festival at the weekend. What a lovely bunch you were!

This was our last track of our set, and one of my current favourites (which I also played on our August radio show), Diskjokke, with 1987.



We're playing Leeds festival this Sunday night with the Moustache Mamas if anyone is up that way.

August Radio



Find out whether Terry Wogan is a Theo man or a Moodymann, erm, man in this, the first show of 2010 where Ricky and Bazzy are together in the studio.
