Ahhhh, sweet, sweet music – the one thing this week that’s stopping me from shaving my head, climbing the nearest tall building with a high powered rifle and picking off strangers, due to insane levels of work stress …
(and yes, that’s a vague excuse for the brief hiatus in transmission – sorry to those jonesing for their next fix of odd and eclectic beats)
Nevermind, eh?

ONWARDS!

Back after a week off, blessing your ears with bars, beats and a couple of lovely slices of chilled electronic nonsense …
Come on then, don’t just stand there.

Manic dash on this week, so the pre-ToT drivel is mercifully short.
We’ve got a fest of hip-hop, with some UK Royalty on mellow hip-hop duty, some slightly more underground beats and a classic from the vaults.
Onwards!

Another week , another ToT – this week with some classic golden era style hip-hop, something deep and glitchy and something seriously woozy beats.
Hope you enjoy the selections- if you do give me the thumb on Facebook or on WordPress – g’wan, make me feel loved …
Onwards!

Festive binge session over, I’m back with three of the finest tunes to have graced my ugly lugholes since the last one of these was posted – which to be honest an almost embarrassingly long time ago …

Ok, I missed a week or so, but for once I have a far better excuse than my usual idiocy/slackness.
Beatrice Constance arrived on the 7th October, weighing in at 9lb 4oz and has thrown our world into a spin – I now have a 10 day old to look after as well as a 2 1/2 year old, so digging through heaps of tunes, carefully curating the finest from heaps of dross has been less of a priority (doesn’t mean I’ve stopped entirely, mind)
Right, that’s it with the excuses – I’ve had a couple of weeks to select some corking tunes for you …

I was trawling through the ever growing mounds of promo, when I spotted the pun-tasticly named ‘Breakmaster Cylinder‘, which made me chuckle. Cracked open the email and found one of the most eclectic chunks of sliced and diced beats I’ve heard in a *very* long time.
Goes to show that a well chosen name can make you stand out from the crowd.

Whomp.
Basement 45.
This Saturday.
11.30-1
Shenanigans
That is all.

Ok, so it turned into Three on a Friday … though I have a better excuse than the usual “I was drinking tramp juice and fell asleep in a hedge”, as yesterday was mine and the wife’s 5th anniversary, so rather than blogging, I was eating a steak the size of my head whilst swilling decent plonk with the missus down at a posh eaterie – love you honey!.
Ahem, sorry about that. In the word of Dirty Dike “Enough of that soppy bullshit, lets liven things up a little bit …”
