Paul Epworth is producing Plan B's album as well I think?

The compiler speaks: http://www.theedit.net/theedit_films_article__how_I_escaped_from_the_wicker_man.htm Someone should put this on SLSK for sure.

I really don't have a problem with Pro Tools (or whatever) being used. The Hawtin mixes or Radio Soulwax could never have existed without technology, and I'm sure most of the mix CDs I own have been heavily re-edited and re-mastered. It was more the somewhat mercenary attitude of the superstar...

Thirded :) I would also like to rep Osymyso's Back To The Basics Mix, and the "Nervous Ragga" Mix was the one thing above all others that got me into dancehall (I can't find the link any more though...). Regarding mixes in general, I don't think anyone would disagree that there is a lot of...

I'm sure this is preaching to the converted, but I'm firmly of the belief that mixed compilations are the best invention of the 1990s, if not the 20th century as a whole. I reckon they are coming up to their 15th birthday sometime soon, which must mean that there's been time for a canon to have...

Having only just moved to London I'll shortly be moving again, across town to W12. I haven't seen much discussion of 'West' (?) on here, but I thought I'd ask anyway if anyone knows what's good in the Shepherd's Bush/Notting Hill area. I know there was that whole broken beat thing blowing up a...

I'd class myself as a fan of breakbeat/breaks/nu-skool breaks/whatever, especially once it moved properly onto the dancefloor in about 2000. I like the way it takes good bits from house, drum and bass, and garage and makes this supremely danceable whole. As party music it takes some beating -...

That's it! Many thanks :)

Paging hivemind... It's a tune I heard on a Birmingham pirate a while ago (late last year). The riddim (I presume) uses samples of a girl giggling, and the only bit of the MCing I can remember is "mmm licky licky" but I seem to remember the lyrical topic was PURE SEX. It was ace and it's been...

Not that this adds anything to to the conversation, but he's from a neighbouring village, and was a couple of years above me at school. He did an arrangement of Elgar's "Enigma Variations" for the school orchestra when he was about 14. It was well good.

There's some streaming early house mixes at: http://www.faithfanzine.com/ including Graham Park & Mike Pickering at the Hacienda in 1989.

Orbital - Belfast

Ace mix, and a real education. Thanks!

I saw the last half an hour of Endless Boogie - and I think it was just this one classic droning hard-rock riff going ON and ON with the rest of the band (presumably) improvising over the top, including some really wanky axeman action from the frontman, who had the circa 1971 look off pat. I...

I thought it was a highly enjoyable weekend, and Slint were spectacular. Personal other high points were David Yow's late appearance on Friday, The Naysayer, White Magic, Mogwai, and Pearls & Brass. And I thought Múm were an inspired choice to end on. But I agree there was far too much ironic...

Re: Surgeon/Regis/British Murder Boys, Surgeon has a mix from last November on his website that's pretty ace too: http://www.dj-surgeon.com/audio.html

Choonz Records in Leeds had a decent (that is, rare and expensive) old skool section last time I went - which was a few years back, mind. I don't know how up-to-date their website is but it's at: http://www.choonz.co.uk/
