I was mooching round town the other week, and I happened to wander in to a branch of USC. Now, this isn't a shop I usually frequent, but on this occasion, I'm glad I did. Playing on the house system was 'Lovesick' by Lindstrom & Christabelle.
How this slipped past me when it was released in late 2009, I will never know. ASAP, I procured myself a copy and set about making a more DJ friendly version. And here it is.
When I stumbled across this little pearl by Sharon Bailey, I just had to tweak it. It's full of spaced out, swirly disco wonder and a rich dollop of mean guitars. Fantastic. Sharon Bailey was one of the founder members of Amazulu, a British Ska and new wave band in the 80s, although this came out on Salsoul in 1981.
It's a simple number, A-B structure, with some added beef and a bit of a rearrange. Have a listen via the soundcloud player, PM me there for a DL.
Ricardo Jefferson, has been shimmying his way into the collective conscience of electronic music fans for some time. His releases on, 22 Digit Records, Pure Trax, Red Robot and Manuscript exemplify his quality and originality. His upcoming 'Brutal Truth EP' on, Third Ear should see him exposed to an even wider audience, and to cerebrate this impending release, Ricardo has put together this, outstanding, mix.

Very Very can now be found DJing in Cruise Jeans, Newcastle upon Tyne, on saturday afternoons. We believe there should be more daytime DJing and dancing. I mean really, why is dancing reserved for evenings and late at night?
Well we're buckin' the trend. Go into town, have a cuppa, get some shopping in and why not have a little dance when you're done? Sounds good to me.
If you fancy that too, come and check out some trendy togs and listen to our lovely music at Cruise Jeans, Newcastle upon Tyne, saturday afternoons 1 'til 5. It'd be lovely to see you.
With this post I introduce the Industrial/Techno/Drum&Bass/Metal band Death By Electro Giants.
The duo have recently become involved in a charity project that sees participants swap remix packs between each other, with the ultimate goal being a digital release of widely varying content. The project, known as 'Industrial Action', is further (and much better) explained here.
Being the nice chaps that they are DBEG sent me the remix files for their track 'Dirty Bomb'. So, here is my take on their excellent track;
Very Very is the longstanding DJ partnership of Very Jon and Vins. This space is home for the musings and musics we'd like to share.
