Here’s 5 records I like to accompany the haze

James Blake; probably my favourite producer right now..

This will probably be a regular thing from now on, but we don’t do regular very well – so we’ll just see.

Worryingly, i’ve realised that most of my favourite music from last year was made either by Scandanavians, bands on The Tough Alliances Sincerly Yours label or bands that are named after two lower case letters.
Memory Tapes – Seek Magic

I’ve read a bit about this solo dude from Southern New Jersey. I find his music’s almost like The Cure, New Order and Studio all rolled in to one but actually way more awesome than that sounds. He’s apparently a stay at home Dad who has no drivers license (must be a …

Unlike previous years I bought next to no singles this year which really has affected my ability to judge the tracks of the year. This year my methods of music consumption were basically either through mixes on my ipod, or buying whole albums (usually old albums) on vinyl for home consumption.
Despite all this a few things managed to slip through and become firm favourites so lets take a look at a couple of them. I’m hoping to look at about 10 or so that really made a strong …

Well not really the all time top 5 – because that would be far too hard to decide. While listening to Dixon’s Body Language 4 for the umpteenth time I started thinking about those go-to sets that you seem to thrash but yet still give you that great sense of comfort and enjoyment years (or hundreds of listens) later.
For me, without doing it consciously, I keep finding I go back to :

Here’s a mix for all the people who loved Appleblim’s Ronsefmmix last year, its sorta like
that but much much much better (it doesn’t stop and turn into dubstep half way).  Also it
will make you like songs by people you hate.  Ask Bob about his Brusce Springsteen shame!
