Brighton tonight

Brighton part 2 is tonight! Riton, Solo, Micachu, O.Children join Filthy Dukes and Stopmakingme by the seaside. Kill Em All takes place at Coalition which is on the seafront

Aeroplane

It's always a treat to listen to Aeroplane's monthly mixes. Here's their new one for February.

Aeroplane "Chart Mix" February 2010 by Aeroplane (Official)

When Saints Go Machine

My friend just put me onto When Saints Go Machine. Very European (almost a little too much so) but really cool. I love this video. Anything with Suriusmo is instantly better.

Late Of The Pier

Yep. Late Of The Pier. New video. Perfect pop chorus. Produced by Erol Alkan. Coming out on his Phantasy Label. One of the best bands in the world. Hey, I know that girl!

Motor City Drum Ensemble

This guy has been killing it for a while now. It's pretty deep and the kind of music that could easily veer into very boring territory but there is a certain energy to MCDE's productions that turns my head every time. This is his new remix for Toby Tobias which, in his own words, is "inspired by the best outdoor gigs last year, and the spirit of 70s (loft) disco.. made for breezy summernights, open air, near the beach, beautiful people around you, and the dj spinning slow sexy jams like this."

My chat with Rory Phillips

You can now see my chat with Rory Phillips over at Dummy Online by clicking here. It's a new regular feature I'll be doing where I talk with people from our little 'scene' and (hopefully) discuss some interesting things. Next up: Matt Walsh. You can also see this piece over at the Erol Alkan website.

...'Eclecticism’ is considered a dirty word and not actually something I would used to describe myself but as I said I like to see the similarities in things, rather than the differences. It’s finding those threads that can bring you from one place to a different point but always taking small steps...

Stopmakingme - OWTIC 001

Here's a regular little feature I'll be contributing to OWTIC. A mix of brand new music making my life better right now. It's more a collection of records rather than a DJ mix but the idea is that it should be listened to in this order. A mixtape, if you will. It's always a really enjoyable exercise to do such projects. It gives me the opportunity to bring out some different tracks I wouldn't normally play in clubs. Put it on your iPod and have a listen whilst walking around in the cold. Hope y'all like it!

Ewan Pearson

Go and check out a great interview with Kill Em All favourite and source of constant inspiration, Ewan Pearson, over at Dummy. What a bloke. Aside from all his other achievements, the man has a Midas touch when it comes to remixing, as this track reminds us:

Egyptian Hip Hop

Whilst we wait with baited breath for the new Late Of The Pier album, another band from the upper realms of England come about with the same level of MDMA-induced fizzing excitement. Egyptian Hip Hop have some ace pop hooks too. They're going to be massive and will probably be shagging your best female friend 'round the back of The Barfly before you can say 'fingerbang.'
