Elite Force Live @ Rock Bottom, Burning Man 2009

I haven't had a chance to listen to this yet and I'd be surprised if it wasn't a little bit 'special needs' given the rate we were switching out both CDJs & brain cells, but here's an afternoon session for u from Burning Man.

Many thanks to Zach Moore, the whole Rock Bottom crew & the Gough Street Sessions for the archiving and excellent hospitality.

DJ Zinc : Crack House Mix (Sept 2009)

DJ Zinc just sent me a promo of a forthcoming 'EP' that he's doing under the 'crack-house' banner, a fitting one under which to place his unique gnarl. Mind you, when I say EP, I mean a 9 track collection of crackerjack house (yes, that's NINE tracks - how the fuck is that ever an EP??). Anyway, he has also put together an excellent hour-long mix of said 'CrackHouse'

Enjoy!

The Beatles - Tomorrow Never Knows (Leftside Wobble Edit)

Came across this on Soundcloud. Shades of the Chems I believe ... in fact the Beatles lawyers tried to nail them for ripping it off on 'Setting Sun'. Which of course they never did. Ha!

BROADCAST: Weekend Warmer w/ Hi!-Population

Hi!-Population is a French producer and DJ for over 10 years. He's got a sharp taste for anything in groove and breaks, with strong kick and bass.

He's the founder of "Frenchbreaks.org", the main breakbeat hub in France.

Since the release of his widely acclaimed official remix of "Yo! Majesty - Club Action" on Labrok Records in 2007, he has been producing several tracks from nubreaks to funkybreaks.
His latest breaks remix for Basement Freaks' "That's Right" was released in July 2009 on Goodgroove Records, one of the major funkybreaks label.

After lots of gigs, radioshows and djing, he's back in the studio and now focusing on producing fresh and definitely baddest sounds as defined as fidget or filthy house (with a breakbeat taste!).
It all started (again) with a remix for Black Peter's Band's "It's Fucked Up" signed on Andrew Friendly's imprint "Gulp Communication" in April 2009.

After having produced a dozen of tracks this year, he was signed on several labels. His next releases will be out in a few weeks on Chicago-based Sick Recordings, UK's Filthy Bitch and Greek Erase Records.

This is pretty much a personal timeline based around a few crazy hours on the Friday night (although sadly I didn't film any of my own set on the Robot Heart bus ... too busy digging the Playa dust out of multiple CDJs :).

Enjoy.

BROADCAST: Weekend Warmer w/ Ecarat

Here is the first post here concerning my radio show called Weekend Warmer: 2 hours of underground dance music twice a month on a Brighton-based web-radio called Brap FM.
For this episode, I had the privilege to host a guest mix by French DJ Ecarat.

It's been 12 years that DJ Ecarat has been generous with the crowds, giving them a fresh, groovy and eclectic selection. Always curious and never stuck in a single style, he's been from fidget to electro, minimal to trance or crazy breakbeat (or the other way round), and he knows exactly how to make you jump!
He is a member of the Rewind and Electric Diamond crews with which he is hosting the "Are You Fidget?" parties in Paris.
For this show, he has prepared exactly what your body needs on a friday night! Get ready to shake it!!!
