Late night laid back style business on a day when your selectah! in chief is feeling mighty bleak about things. No idea why. Perhaps it's just one of those days, or maybe just one of those weeks. Nevermind. Yeah keeping it nicely chilled, and sort of loungy, with this love themed piece by the same man behind other  musical projects such as Dan The Automator, Gorillaz, Deltron 3030, Handsome Boy Modelling School and Octagon. Quite a CV, I'm sure you'll agree...

And so it's back to 1972 that we go with this stunning 8min 46sec trip down into a psychedelic wonderland of much musical merriment. Normally I'd tend to avoid anything associated with the psychedelic label, though this one really is quite special and so fully deserves the short bit of your time required to really let the track work it's magic. Awesome guitar, great vocals, top drumming and an organ combing to great effect.  As good as it gets really...

A treat for the ears this is! Anyone remember how effective this was in soundtracking the harshness of all that is the Requiem For A Dream movie? I found it showing over the weekend at around 2am in the morning, and must have only managed about a half hour before deciding to pack it in for fear of what was still to come. Strange, this is perhaps the only film I know that gets me feeling the way I do.

What a cool track this is. I finally played the brilliant / special / amazing / excellent / awesome Fact 085 mix by UK DJ hero : Andrew Weatherall tonight, and just adored the entire set..! So much so that I went and purchased 4 tracks as I was hearing them playing through my system for the very first time. Got a good couple re-re-rewinds (bo' selecta!) thrown in by myself along the way too.

Super dreamy lush techno in effect today. UK DJ Lee Burridge put together an amazing mix for the Resident Advisor website this time last year, and from that mix this was easily my standout track. The problem was no tracklisting was ever put together for it. Bummer. So yeah fast forward to today and it's while playing said mix again that I'm reminded to go in search of "that," track.

Feeling the Sunday vibes with this trip into deepest space in the form of this rather large Dubstep joint from Brighton local - Riskotheque. All haunting atmospherics and chill-out sort of sounds on this one, though it just wouldn't be Dubstep if it didn't come packaged with the scenes trademark menacing BASS, and on that note this one really delivers.

TSID dropping in with this heavy hitting, yet slow burning, extended DJ Shadow jam for your Saturday evening in. I'd suggest that you dim the lights, roll yourself a fat one and get comfortable for this as we slip gently into the full effects of this lush 13min+ musical journey. Tripped out shizz... Hope you're enjoying your weekend!

This morning at around 3am I got out of bed to see if I could confirm what had already kept me up for the past 3hrs as being swine flu. Now I'm pretty dubious about self certifying my own illness, though they listed around 8 or so possible symptoms of the virus, from which it was going to take just two to get a confirmation. Well I managed about 5 ticks all in all, and well... what can I say.

A very random collection pull-out on offer today. I cant say that the tune has much going for it musically, though what it packs in terms of a feel good fun factor certainly makes it a valuable and much played addition to the music collection. A tasty little instrumental with some hip-hop type vocal stabs here and there. Summer music!

Maybe this super lush Techno cut would have been better suited to a Sunday weekend wind down, though for those of you indoors tonight, I'm hoping that this should be just right! I picked this up originally via another of the, all to often, mentioned free magazine covermount cd's, with this 2001 release coming from an August 2002 issue of the now defunct dance music mag : Ministry.

Hey well happy 29th birthday to myself for today! I've spent most of my day off at home battling with the idea on what tune I should turn to in the hope of sonically representing the days event, and truth be told I didn't really find much to do the job. I had however been looking forward to posting what is to be the first single from the upcoming album "Junior," by Norwegian duo : Röyksopp.

Not long before bed and it's fitting then that chill out tune comes up. I didn't really plan on putting out any of these sort of tracks, though I guess there's a time and a place for everything.  Possibly a balancing act in relation to tonights previous post. Dreamy lyrics, piano keys and all sorts of lush sounds...
