Another week, another opportunity to terrorise your ears with a randomly eclectic set of tunes that are new to me this week …
For those of you who follow Three on a Thursday, I like to give you a little heads up as to some of the upcoming gigs that I’ve got cooking.
Number one is down the other end of the M4, in Soho to be exact, on the 22nd September. Make a date in your diary, as it’ll be a good one.
Number two is thuper theekrit at the moment, as it’s still unconfirmed, but if you’re into all thinks wobbly nu funkular nonsense, get yourself to Bristol around the 17th of September, as something big is going down in funky town.
Right – tunes.

In a word – Oooof!
To those of you who came out this weekend to see me spin, you were fantastic. From the subterranean vibes of Timbuk2 on Friday night to the sweatbox that was Mr Wolfs on Saturday – seriously I will need to pack a towel next time I play there, it was so sweaty I couldn’t grip the vinyl well enough to scratch properly – that was quite the weekend.
Still in recovery mode after a fairly full few days, by my standards at least. That, combined with a 3 month old little ‘un at home and becoming a thoroughly old gimmer it takes longer to bounce back to my usual self. This might explain the slightly more relaxed track choices this week, with a classic slice of neo-soul, a disco sampling nu-funk wiggler and a wonderful piece of chilled electronica to keep you going.
Anyway, enough with the yammering, onwards!

It’s that time of the week again – Three on a Thursday! (I know, I know, try to contain yourselves …). This week is on a little bit a hip-hop tip, with a little broken beat shuffler at the end.
If you like the sounds I chuck up here every week, then you could always pop down and see me do my thing at either Timbuk2 on Friday with Teddy G and Rob Helps, or if you busy that night, I’m also at Mr Wolfs on Saturday from midnight – I’ll buy a beer for anyone making both nights!
Anyway, onwards!

Almost managed to be late on another one of these – I sat down to start my scribbling after the Charlotte had been put to bed and her mother went out – cue 3 hrs of screaming. I swear if her head had started rotating through 360° I wouldn’t have been surprised. She’s finally asleep, so I can get on it.
Anyway, number 27 ‘eh – lets hope the Three on a Thursday series isn’t going to OD or choke on vomit in it’s sleep.
Too soon?
Ah well, onto the tunes …

Another Parisian jaunt, another slightly late Three on a Thursday. I wouldn’t mind if they put me up in the Four Seasons George V, but I’m always stuck in a Novotel next to a main road, where the only food available is from the Chinese next door … or at least that#s my excuse for slowly becoming a fatteh.
Hopefully I’ll be more on the ball next week, and I’m sure my mood will be improved come Friday when myself and Mr Powercut will by kicking in the back doors of the Big Chill Study – if the tunes below get you in the mood, pop on down.

Yes, ok, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa. It’s only the second Thursday I’ve missed in six months – largely down to a week of 12hr days stuck in a hotel in the arse end of Paris with no wifi. Whoever said business travel was cool …
Right enough whinging, on with the show.
Thanks to those of you who came down to Timbuk2 on Friday – good news is they loved it and I’m back giving it some red-hot room 2 action on the 12th August whilst Nebula bosh out the DnB in the main room. Excellent.
If you can’t wait that long before a slice of Sherlock, I’m playing the upstairs bar on Big Chill Bristol with the man like Powercut from Funk from the Trunk
Onwards to the tunes!

Evening all – apologies for the lateness of this week’s Three on a Thursday – the bad thing about buggering off to Cornwall for a long weekend means that the work piles up for my return. ICK. Never fear though, Three on a Thursday is still here to warm you up for the weekend.
I’d also like to say ‘ta!’ to the Funk Hunters for featuring my Hip to the Hop mix on their weekly mixtape dig! – I wondered why the number of listens it was getting had shot up today …
If you like this kind of thing, I’m playing at Timbuk2 for the Dub Box Summer Sessions this Friday, giving it some red-hot room 2 action, so pop down and say hello if you’re about

Another week, another Three on a Thursday for you.
I’m writing this in a demob happy mood, as I’m off to Cornwall to brew beer with a mate, and hopefully catch a few waves … either that or install myself in the local, cursing the lack of a decent swell.
So to warm you up for your weekend, here’s some Atlantic soul, a late night ghetto funk chiller and some crazy tweaked Italian jazziness. Enjoy!

I think the improved weather has affected my mood – either that or the prospect of a weekend filled with bass, beer and BBQ is getting me over excited. With this in mind there’s an upbeat flavour to this weeks tuneage – just for a change. Right, enough blathering, heigh-ho, let’s go!

21, eh, hasn’t she grown …
It’s that time of the week again where I present you with the finest beat, breaks, bleeps and wobbles that have blessed my ears in the last seven days. Only rules for these tracks is that they must be new to me and awesome. Not hard then …
If you like these little gems I lob in your general direction each Thursday there’s a couple of opportunities to see me playing live in the next couple of weeks – check the Gigs page for the details.
