Between Days - Shory Film

Nice short. Love the colours and the story. So simple.

Between Days

Let's hop on the good foot, and do the bad thing...

GET ONTO MY FOOT YOU SWEET SWEET CREATION

It's an emerge-ency

Just for the old times with Al South, cruising from Twickenham and as far as Benicassim....and the promo ain't too bad either!

When I chirp, shawty chirp back

He got his chirps on. That's what I like to hear.

Smith & Mighty Riddim Riderzzzz

This is all the riddims i need for a sun drenched festival skank out.

Fully Flared

Still look at this pretty much every week. The raw peng peng. To work on a Spike Jonez production would be BON.

Instra:mental still smashing it.

'Thomp' off their new LP Resolution 653 is just one of many deadly tracks...get me a pair of banging monitors now so i can rinse the shit out of this hot tamale!

i'm a little lad who lovs berries and cream

this is genius

The man your man could smell like

fuckin' hippies - gotta love 'em!

James Blake - CMYK

Love the Kelis sample...where is she these days?

Serial Bum Shafting

NIKKA

At Sonar 2009, myself and my good friend Maya ventured into a little room/gallery and stumbled across this amazing producer/DJ called Nikka. Today I saw an article on her in FACT magazine online in their 'new talent' feature, and was so pleased to have come across her again.
She is based in Barcelona and her set was accompanied by an incredible visual show, so rather than any old electronic set one might dance around to, we were all seated and were lead through a visual and aural experience quite like no other.
If you ever hear of her playing somewhere, get there as soon as you can! A massive soundsystem is absolutely vital for the full effects...
Check out a snippet of stuff you might hear here.http://soundcloud.com/alphaville/alpha-podcast-presents-nikka

Krystal Klear Dazed Dance-off

My good friend and boogie/new-jack-swing connoisseur Krystal Klear has just featured in Dazed and Confused and Dazed Digital...with the photo taken by yours truely on one of our Manc photo Skank out sessions.
To read the article (and see my photo of KK properly) click here and get a sample of his sweet serenading beats...believe me, you'll wish you were on the dance floor doin' a bit of bump'n'grind...

Kavsraving

Loving Kavsrave of Numbers at the moment. Numbers is pushing so many talented producers at the moment it's hard to keep up with it all. I particularly likes Kavsrave's Pclart which he inclued in his mix on Mary Anne Hobbs' experimental show last week:

Pianos and the 90's

Oh the joys of these tunes. Lets just pack our bags and go right back to 1993...


more jungle.....


and why not for old times sake eh?!

The Mancunia Chronicles - some photos i took....2

POPtastic

One of my favourite things in life are Cupcakes...colourful ones with loads of icing, sparkles, flowers and anything else you can get on 'em! So I was overjoyed to hear of the birth of the POP BAKERY.
Cupcakes, but on sticks! Who'da thunk it eh?! They are a snip at £2.50 a 'pop' (hehe) and are so beautifully made that it would actually be a shame to eat them!

These Dia de los Muertos type ones are my favourite

fun fun fun!

Kimberly from Girls Aloud had these ones were made especially for Cheryl Cole.
WELL DONE CLARE

jingle jangle JUNGLE

after having recently scratched a massive jungle itch I have decided to devote myself to it for the foreseeable future. If I were Brazilian I would literally be raping the amazon jungle right now.
I defy anyone who resists the urge to jump around like a granny on speed to these Junglists beats


always gotta love a Rodigan sample too. Absolute G.
