Got a bit carried away with this one, just having a play with some free trap thats all for free download on soundcloud, and ended up playing some of my fave tunes from all the genres I like to play....... working on my collection of juke and footwork at the moment. I reckon I'm getting better at mixing though, only a few mess ups, mainly when I sped the music up a bit.
Just a quick post to put up this link I found of the Veolia Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition winners at the BBC. Some truly stunning shots in this gallery. Im hoping to get up and see the exhibition at the Natural History museum next weekend and will report back.
These striking images have been posted up on U75, from the Daily Mail website. As I totally refuse to post a link to the Daily Mail, I've posted the link to the original Life magazine link.
These colour photos were taken by Hugo Jaeger, Hitlers personal photographer who normally spent his time glorifying the Fuhrer, however in these images he seems to have taken an interest in the prisoners in this Jewish ghetto.
Another link post about Photography on urban75 again today entitled 'The unseen Gulf war'. To put it bluntly these are images that you wouldn't really see in the papers, but certainly important and overlooked in exposing the true horrors of war.
So on a photo thread on urban75 today a couple of photography posts were made, not the most lighthearted of photographic projects, however this type of work is the reason I became interested in photography in the first place.
New mix, similar to the last, with a few new tunes, and a bit better mixing. Managed to cock up the filters and switch the beatmasher on, so I need to work out what I did wrong.
So I just got back the VloodyCloody beach party at Waxham, and I have to say despite burning my hand and falling in a ditch filled with my own piss I had a fantastic time.
I took the Boombox along that I wrote up earlier in this blog and it was perfect for the beach as it doesn't have any moving parts for the sand to mess up. I did get asked a bit about the music I was playing by quite a few people, so though it easier just to write the whole lot up here and share the link. Albums Ceephax Acid Crew - United acid emirates Ceephax acid crew This is the album I was asked about the most "y'know the one that sounds like computer game album". Whilst not a new album, its a great album and well worth looking up. I think VVT and elfskin asked about this one.
Red box recorder - Colour Codes Red Box recorder homepage Album available for free at aeroplane records I love this album, its really well written and I'd happily pay an full album price for it, but luckily its a totally free download. VVT asked about this.
Clark - Totems flare Clark/Warp Homepage Whilst not the most up to date clark album, its definitely my favourite. VVT asked about this.
Clark - Iradelphic Clark/Warp Homepage Clarks most up to date album, I think I played the second half of this, as it has all three parts of the pining, and thats my favourite part of this album. VVT asked about this.
High Rankin & Tigerlight - Stepping on the devils tail
Bouncy Bouncy dubstep, with apparently mental lyrics as pointed out by laz and socket, which I'd not realised before. Laz asked about this one particularly.
One of my favourite 'bit' bands, the second album of theirs is much more chilled out than the first, but its still beautifully presented.
Mixes
Tykal - Classicore part 2
This is a mix I downloaded off the internet which brings together breakcore tunes that are classically inspired. Unfortunately its a bit of a bugger to get hold of now, but I did find info about it again on the Mix of the day blog.
Squire of gothos & Spongebob squarewave - Live on tinnitus
Put out on brain damage radio I played the first half of this which is a bassline mix, but then was asked to turn the spongebob squarewave second half breakcore off as it was a bit hectic. Unfortunately brain damage radio site seems to be down these days, so no link :(
Fotza - Live at bang face weekender 2011
Unfortunately the box ran out of battery just as we were starting to get into this, but fotza's mixes are great, and he can be found frequenting the ravetalk forums. The set is available for free download on soundcloud.
Other bits and pieces I also played one of the urburn playlists I've made for the CD swap on Urban75, except the first tune as its been called offensive before. Ive tried to make it into a spottily but only 4 of the tracks are available, hence I don't use spotify day to day. Urburn 16 on spottily
Individual tunes
Adele (Jamie XX shuffle) - Rolling in the deep
One of my favourite Jamie XX remixes, nice bass and great lyrics from Adele. No-one asked about this, I just noticed lots of people singing along.
Goodbooks vs Crystal Castles - Leni
By far my favourite crystal castles remixes, I even had it in the previous post on this blog look!
I think thats all the main things I played, there may well have been others, but I'll be damned if I remember them.
