Only at Glastonbury...


Dancing in a field to the sounds of a 40 piece orchestra, clad head-to-toe in space-age pharoah marching band attire, busting out psychedelic dub, doped-out reggae, live d'n'b, and an out-of-this-world rendition of 'Fire' by the Crazy World of Arthur Brown, featuring Arthur Brown himself.

Just when we thought things couldn't get any better, the whole orchestra led a conga dance right through the crowd, to the tune of Sun Ra's psyche jazz epic 'Space is the Place'.

Jerry Dammers and the Spatial AKA Orchestra, we salute you!

Here they are performing the amazing Soul Vibrations of Man on Jools Holland.

Soulful vibez

Not often we post a hip hop mix on here, but I stumbled across this little blend by Nicolas Jaar this afternoon, and it's fitting my vibe at the moment, so I thought I'd share it.
