Yes just start a new blog. While it was a massive blow to lose 3 years work we'd just like to say f*ck you to however was responsible for the blog being taken down. You know who you are. The beauty of the internet is that

So if you want to be in with a chance of winning this years league all you have to do is click on the image/ link below, reg ister your team and enter [...]

Kero One brings a real emphasis on positivity and good vibes in his music. His lyrics suggest he doesn't care what the critics think about his music which is rather refreshing to hear. Certainly there are not that many artists producing the blend of hip hop, soul, Brazilian and funk beats like we hear on 'Early Believers'. Whilst I can appreciate the musicality of the album it does seem to lack a little relevance to me personally and as a result I found it a little hard top fall in love with this. 'A Songs For [...]

If you like your techno in the minimal four to the floor stylee then you could do a lot worse than lay your hands on the new mix comp by October. It's simple to the pint and addictively danceable and full of the energy that Mr Smith brings to his sets and production work. One slight nag is the lack of diversity in track selection. Out of the 15 tracks9 are by October and only Emptyset, T.G and Jilt Van Moorst are represented. I guess this is what [...]
