What a few months it has been. I apologise to those that have sent emails unanswered and similar, but I have finally finished listening to the backlog of music and have made this mixtape with what I think have been the highlights that I have missed while I was away travelling the Middle East (This was actually delayed for an exra week due to my laptop finally giving up the ghost). The trip was just awesome, seeing deserted sights and meeting amazing people throughout Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Egypt, and Israel. Eventful it was - hit up the photos on [...]
Death To All Cultural Snitches , Slutty Fringe's favourite West London wonky disco night returns this bank holiday with a pre Carnival DC Recordings showcase at Acklam Rd on Friday. Repping J Saul Kane's label on the night are Emperor Machine and Padded Cell live and heavyweight DJ support comes in the shape of everyonesfavouriteBelgianswhoa ren'tSoulwax The Glimmers , Richard Sen and the Snitch residents. The brains behind the operation were kind enough to hook us up with a exclusive mix from the Glimmers as well as two pairs of [...]
Since my last post i've turned 34, watched Batman (bit shit innit), got pissed at 5 art openings, gone to one of the last meetings at Walthamstow dogs, DJd on a porn set and watched a lot of Olympics (Yay, just stayed up to watch Rebecca Adlington win her second Gold... just need now for Chris Hoy & Bradley Wiggins to come back with 3 each!) All of which means i'm a bit late in running this
Been working on a demo disc and a mixtape of all my mashups thus far (mostly so you can get them all in one nice download). Until then, Where the Crystal Castles At (Nelly vs. Crystal Castles) n' Get It Kelly (Lloyd vs. Van She) And two songs I've been loving recently N.E.R.D.- Everyone Nose (DJ DLO Remix) Could anything be better than my favorite moment on Seeing Sounds extended for two and a half minutes?

Interview with Billy Paul recording 'Me and Mrs Jones' keeping it Philly style. Billy Paul - East Joe Simon - Theme from Cleopatra Jones The Glimmers - Physical
I really need to fancy-up this blog, visually. I know, I'm working on it. Crap, who invited the mashups? My Backspace (Kieran, Young Joc, Shawty Lo vs. Mascotte) and deeeeeeein... Get Me Sweatered (Beyonce vs. Yo La Tengo) And since I know you're just dying to know what I'm listening to these days... The Glimmers- Physical and hey, I can actually relate to Jeezy when it comes to this blog. "...cause I don't write sh*t cause [...]
The San Miguel Hidden Depths initiative invites respected labels DJs and artists to each curate a one-off party showcasing their favourite acts. So far this summer, Wall of Sound have brought Marc Almond and DJ Pierre to the Soho Revue Bar, and The Glimmers somehow bagged Grandmaster Flash for a set at Manchester's Joshua Brooks; Thursday 31st July, was the turn of Giles Smith and James Priestley, the brains behind after-hours rave institution secretsundaze : their chosen guests were, Detroit techno innovator Theo Parrish and UK house "original rude-boy" Ashley Beedle, at T-Bar on Shoreditch High [...]

Rheingold - Dreiklangsdimensionen (MP3) Chicago - I'm A Man (Rub 'n' Tug Edit) (MP3) A night so good it takes you a week to get over it? Last Thursday saw The Glimmers (née Twins) take over a dank Manchester basement to give us a taste of the music they love to eat. It was all part of San Miguel's "Hidden Depths" tour, and The Glimmers invited hip-hop luminary GrandMaster Flash to open up his bag of tricks. It must be said that a rather fantastic night [...]

I think I might start posting more often than just weekly. Maybe even, like, two times a week. Well, we'll see. Until then, here's another mashup. I Turn Missy Elliot On (Spoon vs. Missy Elliot, Ludacris) Besides that, this song has pretty much been playing any time I've driven anywhere in the past week. The Glimmers- Esta Si, Esta No (Asi Me Gusta A Mi)
It turns out that Let There Be Night not only provides you with good tunes, we're also helping the environment with our new blog design. According to Blackle , a Google-based search engine with a black color scheme, computer monitors require more energy to display white than they do black. For example, given the amount of hits that it gets in one year, Google, in a black color setting, could feasibly save 750 megawatts per year . So, that means that every time someone visits our blog, we're displacing the equivalent of the energy that a blowdryer uses [...]
Whether or not you regularly listen to it, everyone has at some point heard Olivia Newton-John's "Physical," or at least a cover version of it. Ever since it became a monster number one hit in the early '80s, it's become a classic trashy pop song. The base lyrics are catchy and simple, inspiring countless revisits over the years. Here are all the ones I could round up, starting with one that surpasses the now-dated original in my book. Goldfrapp did a sultry downbeat rework back in 2001 called "U.K. Girls (Physical)" that is definitely worth a listen. Kylie Minogue included [...]
Ils nous ont bien eu les salauds. Alors qu'on était tous un peu déçu de la nouvelle fournée de noms proposé par le festival de Dour la semaine dernière, ils se sont empressé de completer cette série avec d'autres noms, et pas n'importe lesquels. Voilà donc le complément à la 4e salve de noms. Pour rappel, la première partie de la 4e salve comprenait: Ice Cube, Ivan Smagghe, Tiga, Zombie Nation, Richie Hawtin, Heartthrob, Magda, Ambivalent, Buju Banton, Mad Caddies, The Hoosiers, The Teenagers, Madrugada, Dj Qbert, Omnikrom et quelque autres.... Auxquels s'ajoutent donc : [...]

Phew...sorry about that. Posts should be a lot more regular from now on. Two heavy new Belgian cuts to get us started. 1. Lullabies In The Dark is the new project of deep disco honchos Jim Adam and Vito de Luca, who have just put our their first single on Permanent Vacation. On this remix, de Luca's other band, Aeroplane, [...]

Still having web problems but here's a little something for the weekend: Mark Mothersbaugh does a sterling job soundtracking Wes Anderson's movies & here's a top slice of Jazz- electro from the excellent Life Aquatic soundtrack. It's also featuring on a Honda advert at the mo. Would love to hear this on a club Soundsystem .. Mark Mothersbaugh - Ping Island/Lightning Strike rescue Op (Z Share) ( YSI ) The Glimmers have arguably been Belgium's finest Disc Jockey's for many years now- They've [...]
I'm trying to get some sleep, but when The Glimmers come calling, there is no rest for the wicked. The duo from Ghent are heavy hitters on the remix front, and now they are releasing an LP of their own - "Are Gee Gee Fazzi" is out now - I love them, I love [...]
