Nice N Slow - September mix

The recent radio sessions have been great fun, but don't you just sometimes feel that you need to hear a load of records played at sub-100 bpm, strung together with no talking over the top?

Was that a 'yes'?

Well might we suggest you take a look at a new feature of this here blog. On the right you'll find we've utilised a previously idle section of the site, and its now home to our latest mix - a sultry sideways glance at the sonic stratosphere.

September Radio show - stream

Here's last week's show for streaming. Its a Bestival special - hurray! In reality, this equates to the opening track being Kraftwerk (in homage to their distinctly average outing on the main stage on Sat night), and a play for the track 'James Rowntree' gave us when we DJ'd after him - a rather nice edit/mix of Michael Jackson. Given that the track in question is one of my favourite records of all time, its a miracle that upon being presented with it, the CDR wasn't immediately used as a frisbee. It's actually a quirky, infectious take on the original. Ah, also included, there's a version of the Faze track which we opened proceedings with.

Also on the show, we debut our remix of Skinny Lister, a band who are signed to Sunday Best, the label who oversee the Bestival event.

August Radio Show - stream

OK - doing a bit of jumping around here while we get into a groove.

Here we have LAST month's Ministry Of Sound radio show. Please be sympathetic to our average chat as its our first foray into radio (ignoring our hijacking of the Tirk radio show at last years Bestival, and our Cosmic Corner feature on Disco Bloodbath's Diesel radio show).

Electric Elephant

Just re-adjusting to life back on shore.

Sunshine music

Reports are starting to come in about the wonderful Electric Elephant festival, which took place last week, August 28th, 29th, and 30th, in Petracane, Croatia. Whilst budget flight loads of London (and beyond's) disco fraternity easyjetted their way to the Adriatic, the Cosmic Truth split ranks with Richie heading for the Sun, and Nicky holding the fort at home, and manning the decks at Secret Sundaze.

Richie should be back immently, so expect full reports soon, but the stories of blissful sunsets, boat parties on crystal seas, and beach bar sessions that go on into the night, I thought I'd post some Friday sunshine music.

Here's one from Jason Boardman's (half of Aficionado) set on the beach. I can feel the sea lapping at my feet...

Thanks to Matthew Burgess for the track ID.

Mystery Man

Been spending a fair bit of time on the excellent Testpressing site recently and whiled away many a mid-week moment with the tunes and mixes they host. The Balearic Mike Whirlpool mix is a big favourite.

Since we missed the Friday tune last week, here's a chuggy little cosmic number from the mix.

Get grooving:
