So last night was my radio debut! I did a mini (18 min) mix for Jon Bevan's Gruvi show on Manchester Student Radio (FuseFM) last night. Its sort of a fusion between the stuff on his radio show (soul, jazz, funk) and my passion - electro music. You'll find the likes of Mr Scruff and Lemon Jelly here, along with some cracking remixes (the Nina Simone one blows me away everytime). Once again, its not the most professional of mixes from myself but hopefully you can overlook a few flaws and enjoy it!? The show will be uploaded here soon and you can download the mix itself here. Once again any feedback greatly appreciated.

Tracklist:
Stickly Kev - Solid Steel Sound Museum Pt1
Booker T and the MGs - Soul Limbo
Nina Simone - Sinnerman (Felix da Housecat's Heavenly House Mix)

This cracking tracked popped up on the Kitsune Maison Compilation 6. The Kitsune lable is well worth checking out if you enjoy the likes of Alan Braxe, Cut Copy, Rex the Dog...in fact there's just loads - check it out.

For some reason this track reminds me of the Coburn track I posted the other day. I think its because they both have amazing breakdowns but separated by these lengthy, choppy build up sections, where a lot of people will just be hanging around flossing their teeth and what not. Once again - tip for impatient people - skip to 1.34.


Alter Ego - Rocker

Following the other day's informative Duran Duran post I'm going to say hardly anything today. Except - impatient people skip to 1.18 on this (it's worth it!):

Please forgive me, but I'm going to try and impart some knowledge about this track rather than just get really enthusiastic about it and throw it at you - which is what usually happens here.

In July 2003, Erol Alkan made his first ever mix CD, called it One Louder and presented it front cover style to readers of Muzik. Nestled in at spot number 3, was this track: Duran Duran track - Girls on Film - the night version. Apparently, Erol was inundated with messages from readers wanting to know what this night version lark was, many assuming it was his own remix. But no! This was orignial Duran Duran who often remixed their own tracks for the dance floor, and called them Night Versions (there's a compilation of them all called Night Versions: The Essential Duran Duran).

And! (yes there's more)Duran Duran's Night Versions are the inspiration behind the title of Soulwax's Nite Versions.

Brilliant! You'll have to excuse me - I'm on a bit of a learning curve. Enjoy the hell out of this though please:
