It feels like summer is finally here in the UK and with this comes the obligatory Summer Mixtape. The masses are crying out for a musical companion to their serotonin boosted selves. And here at SlothBoogie we like to give people what they need so we've put together a big ol' mixtape dump to take you through into next week in the sunniest of moods. First off comes our "Summer's All Up In My Grill Mix" for our mates over at Spacestation who we're playing for on the 9th June at The Nest with [...]
En septiembre del año pasado Psychemagik (Andy Robinson) publicaba su EP 'Valley Of Paradise", y ahora llegan las remezclas de ese gran tema, para empezar desde Madrid Rayko se encarga de darle ese toque espacial-disco subiendo los BPM originales, que va aumentando a lo largo que avanza el tema en sus más de 6 minutos, muy buen remix; The Time & Space Machine juegan con un tiempo más lento, creando su propia atmósfera que nos atrapa con esas percusiones, y un punto [...]
We haven't seen Greg drop a free download in a while... (probably cause he gave away all his back catalogue and has hopefully been busy making a bucket load of new ones...) However he just unveiled a new mash up of New Order and Rockers Revenge! Grab it below for free and if you are in London during the Queens Jubilee celebrations then come party with Greg at the Future Disco Boat Party along the Thames on the 1st June! Tickets on RA
Eastern Electrics Festival 2012 lands in London's Docklands at an exciting and game-changing new festival site. Same brands; same artists; same hours – in a brand new space! Area 12 is five... [[ This is a content summary only. Visit my website for full links, other content, and more! ]]
Oki-ni doing the business again with their mix series... They locked Greg Wilson down for a Festival Anthems mix which I' confident will make this grey bank holiday Monday a taste day off! Here's what Greg had to say about the mix: "As part of the promotion for my upcoming Tokyo date at Rainbow Disco Club I was asked to list my top 10 festival tracks. I came up with a dozen that fitted the bill and could rightly be called anthems, having all done the business for me in a big way at some [...]
Stream: Greg Wilson - "FESTIVALANTHEMS"
There's always been a military feel to the Garage; it looks like a 1940s drill hall, the bouncers throw you through like your parachuting in to Operation Market Garden and then lurk inquisitively like that mad sergeant major from 'It Ain't Half Hot Mum'. Fortunately, the walls are big enough for a liberal spattering of Fred Perry logos as well as the showcase of audio/visual fusion that is about to unfold. Greg Wilson (pictured above) has been a staple of both the electro and house scenes since the '80s [...]
The term "boutique festival" has been chucked around the UK press mercilessly in recent years, and as a result, no one can actually pinpoint what it means anymore. But, broadly speaking, if things like a small(ish) site, forest/rolling hill backdrops, intricate costumes, performance art, locally brewed cider and an emphasis on woodland creatures and masks [...]
Been grooving to these all week and yes I know I've been absent but a boys gotta eat. Check these out while you wait for a fresh update.
The newest and probably most exciting dance festival to appear on London's dance calendar has come from the hugely respected Easter Electrics. These London based promoters have announced that they will will be putting on a one day 17,000 capacity event at Clapham Common that will run from 11am-10pm on the 4th August. Check out the trailer for the event below: The reliable Eastern Electric's programming is evident once again for this monumental party as a quick scan through the names for the poster below shows a great snapshot of what's really good [...]
Shiiiiiit, can't believe this hasn't made it into the FMB archives yet, being such a huge classic it was clearly to obvious a choice and slipped past our ridiculously tight grasp. Anyhow here it is, a proper slice of acid house from '88, produced by legend Gerald Simpson, responsible for the likes of 808 State. Can't believe this actually made the charts back then (Nr 12!!), kust highlights how many fuckin' idiots are running about these days!! A GUY CALLED [...]
The Queen of Hoxton are making full use of their WigWam in the sky and have brought back their film soundtrack concept with Greg Wilson to the rooftop cocoon. The Soundtrack Set launched last September with JD Twitch of Optimo re-imagining the score to the epic and legendary film 'Baraka - A World Beyond Words' . The screening took place on the big screen under the stars on the rooftop at the Queen of Hoxton accompanied by an open bar, bbq, directors chairs, popcorn and a good few blankets which came in handy! Following the film night was a good [...]
Ok, so Cosmic Boogie got us a coupla' free tickets to give away for their Greg Wilson 8 hour extravaganza which is just under 2 weeks away over at the Queen of Hoxton. He'll be joined by our boys over at Wolf Music and it's safe to say it's gonna be mega busy... sold out no doubt so here's your chance to beat the masses and rise to the top of the pile. The winner will be the joker who comes up with the best (funniest) movie title for the [...]
Every Saturday night we take a ride down the memory lane and fill up our tanks with some great edits that we'll always love. Here is Greg Wilson's unreleased "bionic" edit of ELO's "Last Train To London". Class. ELO: "Last Train To London" [Greg Wilson Bionic Edit] Download here
Back in 2007 or 2008, Dave Tat gave me a copy of this reissue for my birthday & lately I've been considering posting it. I'm glad I waited, because Greg Wilson just posted a fresh wav file! Equip consisted of Wilson, Magazine's Martin Jackson & A Certain Ratio's Andy Connell. Get the scoop from the 12"s liner notes below: In 1984 Street Sounds released the experimental 'UK Electro' album as part of their now legendary Electro series. All but one of the tracks on this 'compilation' were written and produced by the same nucleus of [...]
There are so many quality mixes from back in the day doing the rounds. It clear that the latest burst in the internet with Soundcloud and Mixcloud is giving pople the ability to get mixes they had in the archives onto the net and ready for our listening pleasure. This time we have one straight from the UK's own DJ Don Greg Wilson . It's a mix he recorded in 1982 as a best of for Piccadilly Radio in Manchester. Its all about the floor fillers from places like the Wigan Pier and [...]
First off, Happy New Year folks. As you may have noticed, if you've been visiting the site over the holidays, the number of posts were low for obvious reasons. It's the holidays and I was... Read the rest on Speakerboxxx.com
In a world where remixes and otherwise altered versions can often outshine their original tracks, it would be impossible to sift through all the amazing and pathetically generic "remixes," "edits," "rubs," "versions," and "mixes" out there in music land. I've decided instead to sift through our own archives from the past year and revisit some of my favorite cuts. I found that many of these artists have come and gone. or maybe I'm just not paying attention. If that's the case I plan make new friends in the New Year but hold on to the old and perhaps get [...]
It's boxing day and as everyone gets into the turkey sandwiches, we recommend grabbing this 2009 Essential Mix by Greg Wilson to help aid digestion. Surprisingly this was the first time Mr Tong had Greg on the show and it turned out to be well worth the wait. Wilson never fails and this massive selection of straight up funk and soul classics alongside Madchester anthems and straight up disco weapons hits the mark perfectly. Get your turkey groove on to this number. The Originals 'Down [...]
