Mick — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 07:04:55 +0000

Shout out to our buddy Justin Nabbs who recently posted up this mix on his Soundcloud – There’s lots of good stuff in here, including 40 Thieves Ft Qzen ‘Don’t Turn it Off’, Lucky Paul ‘Thought We Were Alone (Money vs Gold Remix)’, Simon Baker ‘Plastik’ & the very excellent John Talabot ‘Leave Me’, whch was recently included on the Permanent Vacation mix ‘If This Is House I Want My Money Back’.

John Talabot’s interview linked below is worth reading – he talks about his upcoming long player which will be dark and instrument based – sounds like an interesting listen; he also talks about Hivern Discs (which he lends a helping hand with) releasing some Kassem Mosse among other things soon:

Hivern Discs has been a very reliable label for releases so far; releases have included Talabot’s stunning Sunshine and while it was never officially released, the Pional remix of Frank Ocean ‘Lovecrimes’.

Beats in Space on form

Mick — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 20:43:47 +0000

Tim Sweeney’s BiS has been on form lately with heaps of decent mixes from the likes of Shit Robot, Horse Meat Disco, Tiger and Woods, Joakim this weeks show was James Murphy and it’s grand! Next week, Four Tet.
I know there’s a lot of dislike towards the interviews Sweeney does or his voice but I really enjoy listening to them when I’m walking. It’s super cool hearing these interviews when I’m interested in the producer and what they’re up to at the moment.

Benoit & Sergio

Mick — Sun, 26 Jun 2011 06:48:29 +0000

There’s been quite a lot of good music coming out of DC lately. The Beautiful Swimmers and now these two, Benoit & Sergio, who i’ve been enjoying since i heard their incredible Walk and Talk on the Wolf and Lamb Vs Soul Clap DJ Kicks; it’s the one with the lyrics “My baby does K all day. She doesn’t wash her hair, doesn’t wash her clothes. When I come home doesn’t even say hello”.
Walk and Talk

The few things they’ve released on DFA have also been pretty nice. Boy Trouble back in Feb.

Last week they released Principles and Everybody, also on DFA both great!
Principles

Everybody

Back in April they did a promo mix for Fabric, which i only just discovered, but i like it a lot.

Matias Aguayo’s Beats in Space mix from the other week was possibly my favourite in a long while and that’s tough because i’ve been enjoying them much more than any other podcast for a while.

Some live footage of the show here, bird whistles included. Dude rules!
