I saw this guy perform on Jools Holland last night. It's so nice to discover somebody making it in the music world who is actually good. He has restored this old cynics faith in the future of music. We'll see how long that lasts.. My favourite of his tunes, 'Tell Me A Tale', was released on limited 10" vinyl back in June. It sold out & of course can now be found on discogs alongside a silly price-tag. You can get [...]
*This is a test post from my iPhone. Here are some photos taken at Sir David Rodigan's gig in the Twisted Pepper on Halloween night, two weeks or so ago. What a night!
I have the pleasure of warming up for Scandinavian disco / house mogul Prins Thomas this Saturday in the Twisted Pepper. The lineup also includes Robert Babicz, who will be doing an acid set.

Truth be told I've never been that big a Gil Scott-Heron fan, though I probably just need to dig a little deeper. Anway, I picked up this test press copy of his 1982 LP ' Moving Target ' from the goldmine Olan recently brought back from the Shtates. Picked up some real nice electro bits & pieces too. Twas a sight to behold, let me tell you. Gil Scott-Heron - Blue Collar [320 kbit vinyl rip] - discogs [...]
The wonderful Peaking Lights have put together a couple of damn fine mixes for the Gorilla vs Bear guys. The latest one has reached it's download limit on soundcloud, so I went to the trouble of ripping it — it's that good — so now it's available to all. Woo. I used this handy little program , which is a nifty oul hoore for grabbing the feisty ones. Peaking Lights - Mixxed Up [stream / download] [...]
This is simply a phenomenal tune. An all-time favourite at this stage. Big ups to mister Mark Allton for putting me onto it a couple of years ago. There are some utterly pointless edits of this around, ignore them, this is the one you need. It builds so nicely, why anyone would think it needs an edit is a mystery to me. Lenny Williams - You Got Me Running [320 kbit vinyl rip] [...]

Chris O'Donohoe, aka The Juggernaut of Justice, recorded a seriously ship hot smokin' mix a while back for Discotekken. I thought I had posted it back then but it seems this post got drafted, and was never actually published. SO, get a load of this bitchez.. Chris O'D - Northside Jacuzzi / Discotekken Mix Catch Chris, Louis Scully [...]

![Ann-Margret - Hold Me, Squeeze Me [Dublin Bus Disco Edit]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3635405_lg.jpg)
The a-side on this record is the very well known [and rightfully so, it's amazing] disco track ' Everybody Needs Somebody Sometimes ' [which was pointlessly re-edited by a certain well known DJ], but the B-Side has it's moments too, in between what I consider to be some pretty questionable vocals. So I looped up all the good bits & gave it a short back & sides. Originally this was meant to be a kind of secret weapon, last song of the night edit for me, but for some reason I've never played it out, and banged it up about [...]

From his blog: " Recently I regained the rights to my first album from all the way back in 1996, so I decided to celebrate with a very limited edition cassette re-issue and digital release, featuring a re-made version of the title track, plus a few previously unheard remixes. The tapes are available exclusively from BLEEP and come with a free download. After the tapes are sold, digital sales will be as normal from all good online music places ." [...]
I picked up this LP after hearing Edmx spinning it on his always excellent podcast series . J.J. Fad were a Dr. Dre produced female pop trio active in the late '80s. In this number, they rap over a Dre'd up version of Juan Atkin's classic ' Night Drive / Time, Space, Transmat '. J.J. Fad - Blame It On The Muzick [320 vinyl rip] Dre [...]

After mentioning Tommy Stewart earlier I just couldn't resist posting this stone cold killer. I also found my copy of the 2009 EP, so I'll post a tune or two off that soon.
Radiomade have recently launched a brand new website . They kindly asked me to submit a podcast for it, so the same night I was asked (to avoid obsessing over the tracklist), I fired up the ole ones & twos, put on a 45 & started recording. I decided to only play 45s for the entire thing, as so many of my little fellas rarely see the light of day, I thought it'd be nice to give them some attention for once. I didn't plan anything past the first track, so it's a little rough around the edges, not [...]
From a comment on my South Side Coalition post . Thanks anonymous! " Curious. Tommy Stewart, who started the South Side Coalition, recorded much the same song under just his own name in 1976, calling it 'Get Off Your Seats'. This appears to be be good way to pull the wool over your record label's eyes (or ears). " A vinyl [...]
