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 …
I’m quite enjoying this mix Rob Modell / Deepchord did for DJBroadcast in the Netherlands.
Some nice deep techno for these winter months.

Amongst all this it was hard to establish any real favourites. I’m hopeful that Bianca (who brought her lucky lizard to …
Sometimes it is sadness that reminds you of greatness.

RIP Kenny Hawkes.
Cheers for the tunes

When I was younger a friend and I would often indulge ourselves in a game of pool and a lager or two after a days surfing… they were as they say the best of times… and of the music we used to listen two tracks are firmly lodged in my mind – this is one of them, from their debut self titled album which included the simply brilliant Talking To A Stranger Aussies Hunters and Collectors give to you Run Run Run.
It’s been quite a month in my world… I havn’t indulged my own musical self in quite my usual random manner. Its been amonth dominated by local sounds – which isn’t altogether that strange, this was just a tad more intense than usual.
Anyways none of that makes much sense in the context of todays musicial pick except that its a local track… one that has really got under my skin.
Fuck its good.
