So one week or so after discovering the how awesome the Jus Like Music compilation is - which has been on repeat on my system allllll week - they bring out another one, which you can find here. What a choice thing to stumble across as soon as you wake up when you really should be writing an ethics essay...
This one features ill beats from the likes of me ol' fave Slugabed, the very cool 8Bitch, and a whole bunch more. It probably won't leave the speakers for some time.
Been playing loads off the first compilation up at radio and at the Ginger Minx on Wednesdays, the ultra synth flavoured, bass-heavy wonky goodness is just awful hard to pass up on!
So anyway, THIS IS THIS SATURDAY! DON'T FORGET! COME ALONG, IT WILL INDEED BE THE THE FUNNEST OF TIMES IN THE MOST GLORIOUS OF SURROUNDINGS WITH THE MOST ENTERTAINING OF PEEPS!
"Vibes inside the ride!"? - Thats me sounding like a real promoter, not the pretend one I actually am...!
As promised, here is the flyer! Getting excited for this one, theres so much great music out there at the moment to smash out in a genre non-specific show such as this one.
This chap Om Unit is on some next level style at the moment. Check his soundcloud for a whole lot more, including free download of his Mizz Beatz "My World" remix.
While loitering on soundcloud, check out a fellow called Benjamin One, and have a gander at what he's got going on. Lots of tasty treats there!
In other news of the world, might I direct your attention to this lovely piece of video:
I'm not the hugest Bassnectar fan these days, but this video - woohooo more Burning Man - motivated me to track down a bunch of dope stuff for a sunrise set this sunday morning at the Raglan Dance Festival...
Flyer soon to come...the man is a absolute legend of electronic music, releasing on some of the most well renowned and loved labels about - Good Looking, Hyperdub, Warp, Deep Medi - the list goes on and on.
One Auckland show only! Kfm HQ, upstairs 204 Krd in the gallery space. Boosted sound, epic visuals, only 15 hukka on the door. Saturday 17th April. Be there or be a kind of smaller oblong sort of a shape.
So anyway, because this exciting show is on the horizon, its time to share some of the beats I like so much...

There you go...rich, full and varied! I have no idea what to play before him, but being the professional I am, I do have one or two sneaky ideas up my sleeve...
Ikonika 'Fish' - the last record I bought
Also maybe some DJ Mujava, if not just to jump on that tropical / afro house bandwagon so many people are on at the mo...perhaps some of the ol' Concept of Dorian, some o' dat FlyLo shit!, perhaps a wee bit of funky, maybe some deep house...omnitempo multigenre is the only path to travel down I think.
Other news come in the form of a block party - fuck yo shit up out the back of the Ginger Minx this friday! I can't wait. I will be joined by the always-wicked Scratch 22 and his aural geekiness himself, Mr Stinky Jim.
What else to say? Things are crazy busy right now, hard to find time to dig through tunes, spend money on music, let alone do thousands upon thousands of dense readings on ethical theory...
Next week, hopefully, I'll throw up a transcript of an interview with one of the most interesting people around, the icon that is Kiwi. Never heard of him? Then best get yer ass out to the desert this year for Burning Man.
I'm in the crowd somewhere. Gosh!
Yours sporadically yet vehemently volatile and veracious,
