Hyperbole alert: my set at Plex last month was the happiest i’ve ever been with a live show, great night great crowd and a good set. You can judge for yourself now – the lovely chaps at Plex have a new show on sub.fm and their first one, last thursday, featured the full recording of my set for the second hour.
I’ll probably release the full recording shorn of the radio chat eventually but you should check the whole thing just now, its great.

There’s going to be a lot of free things here in the next month.
First:RIP Marcia Blaine. By way of an epitaph, part 1 – a free download of the Action Is Still Not A Verb promo mix, originally a tour cd-r from 2007. Features stuff still as yet unreleased, some obscurities, and album tracks. More info and background behind the link above.

I was all set to come on tonight and post about the upcoming LJ Kruzer remix 12″ on Uncharted Audio, out March 8th, which leads with my ‘Dead Weight’ mix of ‘Tam’. However i was somewhat pre-empted by the alwayss excellent FACT magazine, who have hosted an exclusive alternate dub of the mix i did for free download – available here. worth a pop.

Ah crap – I neglected to flag up the release of the Erik XVI remix package on Highpoint Lowlife, think it’s been out a few weeks now. It’s headed up by your humble narrator’s ‘Latitudinal mix’ of ‘Unionens Sista Dagar’ and features other amazing mixes from the likes of Hot City, Spatial and Gravious.

Details here – click – and the whole lot is available digitally for just £3, a steal.

Some nice reviews in so far too – one from Close Bracket Open Bracket – and another from Spannered

On the subject of remixes, I’m just listening to the masters of the LJ Kruzer remixes 12″ which features my Dead Weight mix as the A1…sounding good.

coming up later this month…

third time in london in four weeks, ooft.

Thanks to those people who came down to the STATE event last weekend – it was rammed, and technical issues aside i played a pretty frenetic dj set to a lot of very very drunk people. Good to meet some new people and put faces to others ive hitherto only met online.

Anyways…doing it all over again on Friday, back down for Plex at Corsica Studios for a dj/live set alongside a frighteningly good lineup. flyer below.

The site is sslowly recovering from it’s death of a few months ago; however i couldnt recover most of the pages. I still need to redo the dicography section, press section, and pages for all the releases. They’re coming, but not for a bit (maybe i should hurry up though as apparently i have more visitors than ever before – hello to you)

For those in London, I’m playing a dj/live set (basically a dj set augmented with bits of new material performed live on my shiny new NI Maschine) at STATE, at The Russian, Kingsland Rd tonight, alongside Paul White and Ikonika. I’m doing a special AV set accompanied by Jitter visuals courtesy of my erstwhile Marcia colleague Bryan- a taster of the new DVD album we’re working on. Should be special.

There’s masses of stuff on during the night as well so I’m expecting a good one. We’re on at 3am.

Time for a new mix. This one I finished in December last year but had been holding back on it for Plex to use as promo material for their night on 5th Feb (see further down for more details). They’ve started to disseminate it through their own channels now so I’ll link it up from here.

It’s a bit, umm, zeitgeisty for me, more dubstep and that stuff that isn’t dubstep but comes from the same template (Untold, Pearson Sound etc) as well as some techno. Its also really really long, so split in to two parts, and in a way has a lot of my favourite records of last year on there so acts as a sort of best of ‘09 thing to. Theres a couple of exclusives from the new Numbers label on there too, I’ll let you find them out.

Anyway. Please leave a comment with your thoughts, and enjoy the mix.

I mean, I quite like Et In Arcadia Ego, my debut solo album from 2005. Although thinking about it, it hasn’t aged that well in parts (Jacob, Many Rooms, In Arcadia all good, the rest not so sure…)

But one of the best twenty albums of the decade?!?! Seems a bit unlikely. Still: the guys over at The Milk Factory think so, with it keeping company with the likes of Ben Frost, Autechre and Burial…
