So, if you cant make it to Northern Comfort v Treva Whateva on Saturday, and you happen to be in the Londinium area on Sunday, then i strongly urge you to show your support for this night - J Dilla changed my life @ Cargo. Sunday (10th feb) will be the 2nd anniversary of Dilla's passing and this night aims to celebrate his life and works, as well as raise money for the J-Dilla Foundation and Lupus UK. (its free to get in, [...]
Tomorrow night, 10-12 us lot take over The Bear's radio spot on UnityRadio.fm , as a quick warmup to the NC vs Treva Whateva night at the Sally on Saturday. All the NC lot will be up there, playing some more uptempo stuff than we will on Sat, and hopefully providing a good start to your weekend (yes, weekends now start on Thursday night - come on, any chump can get through a Friday with a hangover). Turn on, tune in, dance around the room. It's going to be ace. Big up The Bears for [...]
Really great. "If your beat needs more cowbell.." Who's doesn't? Here's their homepage .
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/ent ertainment/7226771.stm According to a survey done by Uncut magazine, the difference in BPM is as much as 110 between the north of Scotland and the south of England! "Music bought and listened to in Scotland has an average speed of 190bpm, but only 80bpm in Cornwall." How? Surely for music in Scotland to have a 'average' speed of 190, some people must be buying music at around 300 bpm to counter the people buying James Blunt? Unless *everyone* in Scotland just listens to Gabba and Happy Hardcore - which I can't believe [...]
Kutiman Ft. Karolina. - Music is ruling my world.
The Casserole business, one Scruff one Trev. And also the Unabombers. With a cookery lesson from 2003, here's an mp3 of the legendary HotPot show featuring Treva Whateva and Mr Scruff. In a tribute to the Electric Chair (r.i.p.) that had its last execution last Saturday, this one features guest chefs the Unabombers. And - coincidentally - if you like at least half of what you hear, then get yourself down to the Salutation on Higher Chatham st in Manchester on Sat 9th Feb, where Treva Whateva will be manning the wheels of [...]
Ok, so the DJ 123 of the new Erykah Badu track (Honey) has been out for a few weeks now, but the video has just received its world premiere today to promote the single and of course the upcoming album 'New Amerykah'. (Check the cover of the album below, thats a bit good eh?) And a very nice video it is too, set in a record store the action is played out over some well known album covers. Nice message at the end too...support your local record [...]
This is possibly the best music blog I have stumbled across. Literally crammed full of African funk. All raw, distorted and truly amazing. I'd advise all of us to support this effort, A very good thing
OK so i know you have all been enjoying Kelvin's mixes lately, (over 500 downloads in the past month, is proof of that!(if you missed 'em then where have you been? scrolly scroll down a bit and see previous posts slow coaches)). As most readers will know Kelvin was the backroom resident at one of Manchester's best loved club night The Electric Chair , which will close it's doors for the very last time this Saturday (Music box-sold out). Anyway, Kelvin has made a list [...]
Now Nerd are a frustrating group. They have moments of pure pop genius then make a load of muck. I own one record I think. Anyway. Check out their new tune. HERE I would rather this at number one than..whatever is number one at the moment. Its probably Shaggy and his cover of 'Bring your daughter to the slaughter'. Actually Shaggy if you are reading this. fuck off.
Do you know this man? Do you? Well you should. ACE Rest in peace you nonsense junkie man.
Really - just go out and buy it. Ok? Good.
Tonight as in Sunday 20th Jan 2008. ITV1 10:40. Its all about Tim Burton. Heres the details- The film-maker talks to Melvyn Bragg about his latest production Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, and discusses his early career and big-screen influences. Illustrated with clips from his films, and with contributions from Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, both regular stars in his work, and the composer of Sweeney Todd Stephen Sondheim. Plus, exclusive footage of Tim as an animator at Disney in the early 1980s. [...]
Im Scratchin' Swami apparently. Get yours at the WU-Tang nickname generator .
Northern Comfort is a loose collective of deejays, producers and general musos with an open-minded, leisurely approach to all things musical. We've managed to get off our arses long enough to release the "Rhythm & Bass" roots reggae mix and set up a website. All two of these since our inception in 2001. Steady. We've also employed a similarly unhurried approach to releasing tunes (none so far) or putting on a night, although we can now at least remedy the latter by announcing the first of our new monthly soirees taking place 8pm-12.30 Saturday 9th [...]
This is a fucking great tune. The video is pure madness. Trust me watch this once and you shall watch again. The link of truth.
Kevin Keegan used to be a very good footballer, and as the photos above shows he also used to talk a little bit of sense. Then he became a manager and football pundit and came out with these classic Keeganisms. "They compare Steve McManaman to Steve Heighway and he's nothing like him, but I can see why - it's because he's a bit different." "Despite his white boots, he has real pace... " "You can't do better than [...]
