Songs Of Praise 26.9.10 With Paul Riley – A Moritz Von Oswald Special by Space Invader Radio on Mixcloud

DJs in PJs Part 12 and Welcome Walter The Good!

Saturday morning with Vlada running DJsInPjs things this week. Just a few of in this week so we got three choices each so mine were Air, Supremes and Isolee:

Djs In Pjs 12 by Vlada Stojanovic on Mixcloud

One noticeable absentee who did have a note from his mum to miss was Mat The Good who had the very good reason of not wanting to join in a little music game as he was instead celebrating the birth of his son, Walter this morning.
Here's a liltte Walter & Daddy inspired mix for them from me:

For Walter, Mummy And Daddy The Good by Paul Riley on Mixcloud

Svetlana Industries: Come On Lets Go

I think it isn't really much of a secret that I love pretty much everything Svetlana Industries puts out (not sure on them over size t-shirts but thats just me), so its always nice when some new music comes along. Its even nicer when its a 19 track compilation. And its free. 

Come On Lets Go http://shop.svetlanaindustries.com/album/come-on-lets-go

Theres a balance of names already familiar to anyone who has been following the steady rise of the label or just the beats scene in general over the past year or so such as Teebs, Jackhigh, 8Bitch, Filtercutter and Piece Of Shh... so its perhaps a brave move to kick off the set with four tracks by lesser known or brand new names. 

Of these, the opener by Demokracy really kicks things off at a frantic pace setting the tone for the couple of tracks. The light relief of the brief interlude track by Prohor is only a respite before perhaps the best known track on the compilation from 8Bitch, In The Moog For Love which appeared on Oscillations or if you're a real 8Bitch geek, has been residing in certain top 20 list for for the best part of 18 months now.

Things move a little more downbeat, experimental and weird with some more abstract noise with Prohor and spoken word library samples warning of the effects of LSD from Polyklinik and then, what at the moment my favourite of all, something that reminds me a bit of when Leftfield used to make techno with a reggae toaster on vocals, Desert Island from Piece Of Shh...

The pace picks up again with another track that has been doing the rounds for a few months, Jackhigh's Turbines but then dips back for the the slightly mad looping sound of glass shattering and staggery beats that is the Teebs closer. You just know his soon to be released lp is going to make a late surge into all the best of lists come December.

Considering this project has apparently been in the making for six months, had one or two hold ups along the way and that some of the tracks have appeared in other guises over the past few months, it is a pleasant surprise how well it all flows together (it is ideally best heard in all in one go) and that nothing stands out as being on some bandwagon that has long past. 

Now its usually at this point in all my reviews of Svetlana reviews that I start going on about how much I love Toby and Andrea's dj sets and radio shows so in a break with tradition this time I'll just say Andrea's shows have been going so ridiculously from strength to strength, I'm not sure firstly how my expectations can be raised any more or secondly how heartbroken I will be the first time she ever plays something I don't love 101%. Toby's Thunderlooops shows seem to be an extended summer break at the moment but seeing as how he introduced me to James Blake, I can forgive anything and just know his return to the airwaves will coincide with me taking out an overdraft to buy 1,000 brand new missed, skipped or flipped gems.

Check them on Spaceinvader: Andrea3000 Thursdays 10-12, Thunderloops first Wednesday of the mont 6:30-8pm or Friday afternoons on that station out of Serbia. You know the one.

Beats, Rhymes and with Isaac Ssebandeke, Dean Atta,

I don't post too much new stuff on here so you know its something thats caught my eye (or ears) and I don't think enough people are shouting about it to make me put something down. That is very much the case with new rapper / poet Dean Atta who I first heard through Charlie Dark on twitter.


Here are a couple of videos he's put up on youtube and beneath is a link to download his first ep for free. His first full length album is due at the start of October and again, thats going to be on bandcamp for free for theres really no excuses to not check him out.

Me, Roods Manuva, Xzibit, Sol Campbell - the best in every field celebrate their birthday today.
Thanks firstly to Paula Harris and Steve 'Miggedy' Maestro for the birthday dedication in last nights Grooveparlor TV show:

This mornings DJsInPjs by Matt The Good had to have a couple of birthday tunes in so I went for The Sugarcubes and Jimi Hendrix

Djs In Pjs Part 11 by Matt The Good on Mixcloud

Tonights brand new Orsi show on spaceinvader has a special section in for me somewhere so if it wasn't already (and it is) essential listening, well now it definitely is.

Songs of Praise 12.9.10

Tonight's show is for Cubikmusik, Charlie Dark and Run Dem Crew. A couple of weeks ago I was inspired by RDC to take up running and I promised Cubik that if it killed me, he could have my reggae records. This show is the "look at what you could have won if I had died" mix. Expect plenty of cracks, pops and jumps as this is strictly vinyl.

DJs in PJs Part 10

Sorry for the late upping of this one from yesterday mornings session. This week it was back to Matt McArthur, The Overtime Man to do the duties and my selections were (birthday boy last Friday) Roy Ayers with Masters At Work and because I'd heard it in that great Kode 9 & Burial mix this week, Erykah Badu.

Juke / Footwork Mix

I thought I'd do a little Juke mix. I'm not saying its any good, but its a first attempt. No re-editing or sorting out afterwards, just a bit of transposing to make it (to my ears) sound a little less mental.

Taking The Fun Out Of Juke by Paul Riley on Mixcloud

Mary Anne Hobbs Leaving Radio One

Firstly, I hadn't really been checking if / what people had been downloading off here for a week or two because it seemed to me that I wasn't really put anything new or that interesting up and no-one was bothering listening to anything so it was a bit of a surprise that all the numbers had shot up, even some older stuff that had had no listens before. Maybe there is a bit more call for me to put stuff up than I realised, so I'll try to make up for the lack of recent activity now.

Now tonight marks the end of Mary Anne Hobbs show on Radio One. Don't get me wrong - I am a big fan and any criticisms I'm about to make must be balanced out with the fact that over the years she has introduced me to hundreds of great tracks I would never have heard anywhere else, especially in the years before the internet when I taped her show religiously.

I know her legacy will be for breaking dubstep to the masses and I guess that's definitely justified but to me there was a lot more to her shows than that - both for the better and worse. I don't really want this to be negative really so I'll keep this bit brief but, to me, she did have a few years lost in the wilderness after big beat died but before dark garage / dubstep came along. Some of the stuff she played and guests booked sort of from '99 to maybe even as late as '03 were either questionable (Sister Bliss and Faithless?) or instantly forgettable (hmmm..... nope, it's gone). 

Some of my favourite memories are the night Roni Size made a new track live out of samples listeners phoned in (I tell you, kids don't know they're born these days!), The Wall Of Sound birthday parties (I think 5th and 6th - certainly when Jon Carter just took over proceedings), how much Mary Anne would go all school-girly whenever Richard Fearless of Death In Vegas came in,  the night Suicide came back, the time she went on holiday and David Holmes and Portishead took over for a couple of weeks (this was when the show was still 4 nights a week), Steinski and Plus 1 back to back turntablism, the Tim Burgess set (if anyone has this mp3ed, drop me a note - its a classic in this household) but perhaps best of all - the fact you had to get the tracklists on Ceefax! (God, the kids these days etc etc...). I'm trying to think of mistakes / things going wrong / guests not showing up type tales but I must have forgotten anything like that over the years. 

So the mixes I have digitally (one day I will get round to sorting them tapes out before they disintegrate to nothing). 

Primal Scream : Although the Aphrodite 'Woman that rolls' sample was warmly familiar, I'd completely forgotten about "You are about to enter a big beat zone!" speech bit at the start of the mixes! Retrospectively, we are probably thankfully that this Scream Team mix didn't take us into a big beat zone at all, instead going for the all over the shop approach dropping jazz, reggae, kraut, punk. It dates a bit better than what I could guess would have been on the rest of the show - Fatboy Slim, Skint, Wall Of Sound etc.

Spiritulized : This is a live session, not the classic award winning Jason Pierce mix but I like the bits inbetween the session tracks, it gives a really good reminder of how good the Breezeblock was - pretty eclectic, a classic in there with brand new stuff and a mention of The Bluetones!

Bjork : One of the all time greats. I remember the night this went out thinking it was something very special and there was a lot of hype around it, Bjork playing childhood nursery rhyme favourites and Public Enemy.

Dr Octogan : I guess this must have been just before the show changed names to Experimental, a short little mental mix from Kool Keith

Kode 9 Presents Burial : A mix of tracks promoting the first lp. You've got to give her credit, once Mary Anne got onto dubstep, she got into it big time.

I think I will forever associate Mary Anne with just one word: "Mighty!" (she did seem to describe everyone as mighty for a good few years) but I think it needs taking back and applying to Mary Anne herself.

Part One of the me being everywhere you turn weekend is the Saturday morning DjsInPjs session, this week hosted by Tim of TeaAndCakeRecords. Check the mix below and should you really care, my choices were Flying Lotus / Lil Wayne and Faith Evans which I put in as I think Matt No Requests (the man behind the edit) might need a laugh this weekend.
