ELECTRONICA 2000-2009

Wed, 16 Dec 2009 18:21:52 +0000

As we come to the end of the Noughties (damn I hate that term!), I thought it would be fun to knock together a mix of some of the key moments in the last decade of electronic music. This has been the decade where bedroom producers truly came into their own and hopefully this mix reflects that, from Prefuse 73 and Flying Lotus, to Burial, Nite Jewel and The Streets. We've seen the birth of grime, Ed Banger electro , dubstep, glitch hop, and, yes, even the mighty Donk – big up to all the Wigan Pier massive BTW. Anyways, enough rambling from me, I hope you enjoy the next two 1/2 hours... it gets more banging the further into it you get! Let us know what you think and also what songs you think should have made the cut. Oh, and if you want to skip through the mix for some insane reason, launch the widget and then click on the grey bar at the end of the tracklisting.

ZOMBIES VS GANGSTAS RADIO SHOW

Tue, 1 Dec 2009 18:09:11 +0000

Back in May 2009 I was invited to do a show on Diesel U-Music radio, and for some insane reason I decided to pit zombie musicians against gangsta rappers in order to see who were the biggest badasses. I turned up to the Dalston studio with my brain eating zombie crew Cholo Cheeze (Terence Teh) and MC Gouda (Johanna Lacey) in tow and we proceeded to cause much havoc for 2 hours, as you're about to hear... Seven months on, who do you think should have won – the zombies or gangstas?

DECEMBER

For our Wild At Heart issue, I've featured my favourite track from Karen O's recent Where the Wild Things Are soundtrack (check the latest issue for an interview between Spike Jonze & author Maurice Sendak), plus new tracks from some other stars of the issue: Holly Miranda, HEALTH, Danish pop funks Private and pop starlet Ellie Goulding who recreates Passion Pit's "Sleepy Head". There's also a banging track from my album of the month – Joe Goddard's Harvest Festival – plus new material from Memory Tapes, Washed Out, The Black Keys, Robert Koch, Fenech Soler and Kap Bambino. There's also a new track from the Doggfather himself, Snopp D O double G who I interviewed for the latest issue of Dazed. As he would say, this mix is off the chizzle fo rizzle... or maybe not. I'll leave that up to you to decide! Enjoy.... !

NOVEMBER

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 10:33:55 +0100

Garage rockers The Strange Boys kick off the Imagination issue playlist with a bluesy little number about a poem party. We've never been to one – are they any good? This track makes them sound like a riot! The Texans are followed by Bradford Cox's spooky singalong anthem "Sheila" from his new Atlas Sound album, Logos. We also have big songs from The Drums, Real Estate, Meth Teeth, and a Halloween anthem from Dead Man's Bones. After Young & Lost's new signing Othello Wolf, things get a lil grimy with some digi dub from Jahdaan Blakkamoore, crack rap from Raekwon, and some wonky 2-step from Joy Orbison. For the grand finale Dave 1 and P-Thugg bless us with a new Chromeo track, Private channel the spirit of Bobby Brown, LMFAO get their nasty on in Ibiza, Ebola breaks our bass bins and Diddy pops some Ciroc in the club with DJ Hell. Oh yeah, we can't forget about The Gyratory System, who play us out with one of the most insane tracks of the year. It's amazing, but really intense. Just the way we like it.

OCTOBER

Thu, 17 Sep 2009 21:29:42 +0100

I thought it would be cool to start off this month's playlist with "Love's Dart", the debut single by London quintet Django Django. It's a melancholy love jam of the highest quality. Sweet harmonies, lads. It also seemed appropriate, seeing as our MONSTROUS October Franken-fashion issue is about to drop, to include "October Days" by The Softboiled Eggies. Terrible name, great band, killer song. There's even bigger tracks from Exlovers, Trailer Trash Tracys, Warpaint, Health and A Place to Bury Strangers after that, and some chilled vibes from crooners Kings of Convenience, Detroit soulboy Mayer Hawthorne, and Mazzy Star legend Hope Sandoval. As ever we finish in the club, with a banger from HudMo, some space bass from Nite Jewel, a cheesy foam party anthem from A Trak & Armand Van Helden (Duck Sauce), a rEtro Fever Ray electro remix by CSS, a nu-skool Italo anthem by Retro/Grade, and a VERY SCARY instrumental by Two Fingers. Enjoy!

SEPTEMBER

Thu, 13 Aug 2009 21:29:19 +0100

I churned out this killer playlist to go with the new September issue before I left on my honeymoon. It's another eclectic mix that includes current issue feature stars The Big Pink, rising rapper Mapei as well as new tracks from The Heavy, A Grave With No Name, The XX, Lovvers and a 70s synth throwback from Bernard Fevre.

AUGUST 2009

Sat, 11 Jul 2009 14:36:36 +0100

Returning art rock legends Devo play a big part in the forthcoming August issue of Dazed & Confused magazine, so I thought it would be cool to start off this month’s playlist with one of their best, and most bizarre tracks, “Jocko Homo”. As co-founder Gerald Casale says in our interview, “It was definitely the litmus test. It was not so much a song as a manifesto and a rant that either you got off or pissed you off.” Hopefully you’ll get off on it. If not, there’s plenty more to excite you, with new tracks from Tweakbird, Quad Throw Salchow, Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Little Dragon and Gold Panda. We’ve got some killer club bangers in the mix as well, with SMD, Mike Snow, Busta Rhymes, Tobacco, Juice Aleem, Serani and Erick Sermon bringing the heat.

X-POSURE

Listen to myself and John Kennedy talk about some of the new music in Dazed’s July issue, featuring tracks by Duchess Says, We Are Wolves, Popo, Eat Skull, Nosaj Thing and Dark Night of the Soul.
