Well its been eight months since my last show and man, how time flies! In the past few months I’ve moved house, launched a record label and released my first ever 12”. At least I’ve been productive eh! And what a year it has been for fantastic music as well. Way too much stuff to catch up on in one show so expect a few end of year special shows in the closing month of 2009!
Firstly just want to say its great to be back, I’ve really missed doing these shows but my love and support for fresh new music has never faded out. Tastes may have changed somewhat along the way as influences discover new sounds past and present… Expect the show to take more of a representation of what’s been doing it for me recently music wise and so on to what treats we have for you this week…
Well first up a should mention we have a fantastic new mix from Andrea Trout, recorded exclusively for us here at Straight Up. Massive thank you to Andrea as with out her kicking me up the arse this show would probably still be in limbo! A proper selection of warm soul, disco and wonky basslines with a sprinkling of afro influences. Just what we like round these parts.
As for myself we kick things off with an ace track from the new Linkwood album on Prime Numbers, following that with a selection of some of the finest edits of the past few months. Check out Popular Peoples Front with the cheek to sample Marvin’s classic Funky Space Reincarnation. Such an amazing take on that you’ll be hard pushed to fault it. Also I’ve given you a cheeky upfront play of the new 12” on Plimsoll Records. Space Rangers doing a re-edit of a remix with their massive take on D-Train’s Keep on. Massively pleased to be able to put this out on our label
Wrapping up the show this week with the Saag edit of St Germain. This got a massive reaction when I played it out last weekend. Everyone thought it was the original until that piano dropped. BOOOOM!
My favourite remix of the year no contest is Lindstroms take on the Doves Jetstream, before taking it even more wonky with his remix of the Boredoms. Had to calm the show down with one artist to definitely watch out for next year, Jonathan Jeremiah, Morgan Geist remix. Just sublime
Its great to be back, cheers for tuning in and I hope you enjoy the music
All feedback greatly appreciated
Peace
