Enough Is Enough

Blame T-Pain.

Leeroy Bambaataa - Def Mix

Leeroy Bambaataa sent me this mix recently, as he knows I'm a bit long in the tooth and can still remember applying Mr Sheen to linoleum, and fat laces to Nike Vandals. Leeroy's last mix focused more on the early 80s electro days - this one rolls forward a few years with the likes of Stetsasonic, EPMD and Kane, and while also casting an ear back to the funk roots.

The mix is in two parts, download them below....

40 Years Ago Today

Its 40 years since the gable wall was first painted in Derry, as the movement for civil rights, and then the modern 'troubles' began. Here is a snap of the mural as it is today, thanks to Hellsbells.

Jackmaster - 40 Minutes Of Funkyish

The Chicago-esque monikered Jackmaster of Glasgow's
Dress 2 Sweat comes correct with a very tasty 40 minute mix, some big funky tunes into some big dubstep. Great selection. Plus, among his interests on Myspace he includes 'slagging off cunts' as well as 'feeling guilty about slagging cunts'. There will therefore always be a spare couch in Dublin for the man.

Stevie G - Broken Beat / 2 Step Garage Mix

DJ Stevie G has been making people move down south for many years now, both in the clubs and on Cork's Red FM via his 'Black On Red' radio show. For those of us outside the People's Republic, he's thankfully been podcasting some great mixes spanning all the good stuff, along with some surprises. Here's a taster in the form of a UKG mix - if you like it (or if you just love good music) there are loads more over on Stevie G's Podcast page.

REACH Presents: 2562 + Peverelist

The first REACH of 2009 takes place this friday night in Dublin, with the return of Dave Huismans aka 2562.



The last time Dave played here was back in January 2008, where we were treated to our first taste of tracks that would end up on Aerial, as well as some by Martyn which have since seen vinyl release and huge acclaim. I'm looking forward to whatever treats he pulls out of the bag for 09....



Joining him is Rooted Records and Punch Drunk-ard Peverelist, bringing a much needed bag of Bristolian dubs to Dublin.



Supporting the visitors will be the no-longer Geri-curled Jerdy Curl. Took years off him I reckon.

Today And Tomorrow

DJ Colz New Year Funky Mix

Well, what with it being a new year and all that, and with a few heads around Dublin getting more curious about the sound I reckon its time I did a mix made up of the stuff they call Funky, another in a long line of adjectives that have somehow mutated into nouns. The sound has been creeping into my mixes lately, but I've no idea what the reaction from Irish punters would be, as I haven't had the chance to try this stuff out on a crowd. I fear a similar reaction to UKG a decade ago....:(
Well, here's the tester. Much of these tunes will be familiar to anyone with a casual interest, but they and the artists behind them would be fairly unknown over here. So, if you like what you hear, support the artists by parting with your hard earned!
