yeah i was a bit previous - i put it up before the mix was done, then moved house and now there's LOTS OF NEW RIDDIMS AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! i will be doing a mix equally as big as this very soon to redeem myself, probably with a lot of the same stuff on it

Just finish this mix (surely it only needs a bit of polishing) and then bang a new mix up.

Link?

When our current mix is done I'm taking time out to, like, watch TV and talk to the wife. Still lots of ammunition coming through from Eden though.

After this mix I'm going to bin Paul and go solo.

yeah we all want every mix to the the be all and end all of that sound... but it's just unrealistic. as artists I think perfectionism is a debilitating hindrance in most cases... we can prolly all use some practice with "letting go" and not becoming to attached to our work.

"with the same stuff on it" ? you mean some of the same rhythms but different tracks?

I myself am just biding my time for a giant dancehall/bhangra/reggaeton mix and a grime / dubstep mix

can we get an answer on the showerman / showerface / showercurtain thing?
sourface?
sorry everyone.

there's a jamaican gang called shower posse or similar - cos of the showers of bullets involved in their killings etc. i imagine the grimey slang usage of shower-related stuff referring to badman-related things is derived from this

i had this explained to me yesterday -

showerface is the grimace a badman pulls when he sprays bullets in ja slang
so it's that kind of ubermench death/sex face - a kind of evil orgasm as the power of life and death over others takes hold.
my words not the person who explained it

the adaptation of all the shower curtain stuff is just cos it's funny and odd i think.

Best of luck bad boy.

I'm just waiting for the day when we can split the production workload .

(And, one day, I'm going to take time to buy some reggae records!)

It's not as if you haven't done solo mixes before. It's just that they're better when you let me polish them...

I presumed it was the classic Hitchcock Psycho scene - Janet Leigh in shower in Bates Motel / shadow outside shower curtain / curtain opens / knife comes down / Bernard Hermann's strings stab dissonantly along with knife / blood runs down plughole
