Wow – #50, how did that happen?
Seems like it was only yesterday that I was working out what exactly I could do with this blog, other than putting my own mixes up on here and decided to share a few of the audio gems that my incessant music geekery found out, and here I am a year later (yes, I know, I missed a couple) having shared 150 tracks.
Speaking of which, lets get onto to the tunes shall we?
I fear this one might be a bit of a mad rush – I got distracted by beer (making it for once, rather than just drinking it) and all of a sudden I’ve got an hour to scrawl my feeble attempt at prose before it’s too late *gasp*
Can it be done?
Will it be done?
Does anyone care?
Find out below …
A little late this week, but I’m here none the less, with three very different slabs of quality tuneage for you – there’s a some 50’s-esque Funk for whet your appetite, a Ghetto Funk banger for the main course, and a slice of UK Hip hop as a sweet little finish for you.
Right – onwards!
B-b-b-back again kids!
Welcome to Three on a Thursday #9, pull up a chair, sit down, you may be here for a while …
If you’re about in Bristol tonight, I’ll be chucking a few records on at The Pipe & Slippers alongside Roy Strong and DJ Moneyshot, so pop down for a beer if you can.
Right – onto the tunes!
I’ve literally just posted the last one of these, and I’m already starting to draft the next one – my quest for the finest tracks for you lot is never-ending! Talk about commitment to the cause …
If you like this series, and fancy seeing me spin them live, pop into the Pipe & Slippers tonight where I’m playing alongside DJ Moneyshot and Roy Strong at Flipzilla from 9pm, and if you fancy your beats juicier, and your bass bouncier come and see us tear the roof off The Big Chill Bar Study with a Ghetto Funk work out on Saturday from 11-2am.
(There’s a tongue twister for you)
Ahoy all! Three in three weeks – aren’t you lot lucky!
To be honest I’m slightly surprised that I’ve not been my usual slack self on this, but here you are, three more nuggets to get you through Thursday, and warmed up for the weekend.
I was having a blog related quandary the other day – I know four posts in is a little early for existential crises – but I was struck by the thought. What this site is here for?
The initial idea was to have this as a on-line Electronic Promotion Kit, essentially somewhere I could point people when I was pushing for gigs, with mixes, a bio, some press shots and the like. I was also going to have links to the shows that I do on Purple Radio.
Thing is, it might be a little sparse at times, so I thought, what could I do to come up with more quality content? Then I realised I spend loads of my free time scrubbing through new releases and am often asked by mates where tunes have come from, what labels they’ve been released by, etc. and then it struck me – I should spread the love, and what better way to do that than to round up a few of my favourite cuts and chuck them to you in time to warm you up for the weekend?
BEHOLD! Three on a Thursday !
Some tunes are new, some are old ones I’ve only just discovered, some will be upbeat, some a bit more mellow – the only unifying factor is that I’ll have picked them up at some point over the week, I like ’em and I’ll do my best to put them up on a Thursday for you to have a butchers at.
