What's been floating my boat....

Woah! A whole month has passed me by! Now I share with you the treasures I have encountered so far in this lazy lazy month...


Essential Mix with ANNIE MAC and HOSTAGE

Because I have a two hour gym routine that I have a hate/love relationship with, I need music that is going to distract me and if it can't distract me, keep me pumped and running up a #4 incline at 10.7kmph on a treadmill. The latest BBC Radio One Essential Mix with ANNIE MAC and HOSTAGE is just the ticket!

It's been recorded live at Sugabeat in Edinburgh, so includes lots of drunken cheering and shouting, giving that delightful party atmosphere... reminding me that I better keep running otherwise I won't be fitting into any tight party dresses come Friday eve. The first hour of Annie Mac is electro/house/funky, while hostage brings the bass. Download here.


DIZZ1!

This guy was mega at SOUNDAY here in Christchurch on the 30th of January. I pretty much went just to see him and he exceeded my expectations. P-Money played directly after, and it was so clear to see the high level of integrity in Dizz1's music in comparison. I'm hoping to get his 3RD TIME LUCKY 12" for Valentines.... Here is the man live.... SKILL AHOY!




FUTUREBEAT CREW - Thanks, Float and Anon.

I love sharing my home city with other talented individuals with spot on music taste like these guys and love it even more when they chuck up free mixes. While Thanks has been hitting the decks over in Melbourne for a considerable period, Float and Anon have only been mixing for around a year. These guys are also fans of the above Dizz1 as well as Debruit, Flying Lotus, Fulgeance and Hudson Mohawk, giving their mixes undoubted class.

These Christchurch locals played at Double Happy last Friday and I hope we'll be seeing more of them out and about. Download the NAIS JUAN PROMO MIX here. Thanks and Float keep the mix offbeat/hip hoppy/glitchy for the first 40 mins, while Anon switches it into dubstep for the final 20 mins.

Yeah yeah, its a bit old (4 months) but HIGHER from FOREIGN BEGGARS has been delighting my ears lately....
