Every chance I get, I visit a bookstore and spend oodles of time (yep, not cash as I’ve got none) there as if it were a library. (I ‘gotta play hide and seek with the roaming assistants and guards though because they prohibit browsers getting too comfortable in their bookstore without buying. That’s good business I understand). I love books but they can be too costly and bulky. Well, last weekend, I found myself buying a reasonably-priced handy reference guide on idiomatic expressions. Cool. I believe it’ll serve as a judicious tiny investment since I’m in full throttle trying to improve my writing skills. I happily showed it to my colleague who got too enthusiastic and said something like, “yes yes let’s use them until we become totally unintelligible.” I dismissed his jest and went on to peruse my newfound blissbook. You know I love English and have always been fascinated by idioms. So I’m determined to make use of my new purchase to my best advantage. Okay, what do we have in here? Hmm… let me be playful for a while.

Smart Alec rubs smarty pants up the wrong way and becomes a punching bag.

Beating a dead horse is the height of stupidity.

Don’t talk turkey or you’ll be the talk of the town.

How do you like them apples? Though one bad apple hit rock bottom and gone pear-shaped.

My two cents fell on the tip of the iceberg and it’s up for grabs when push comes to shove.

A fish out of water drops in the bucket and finally becomes a flash in the pan.

How’s that? Am I brilliant or what?

I know I know, I’m being silly and not even funny. Actually, I’m writing out of the back of my head, so cut me some slack.

Oh when will I ever get my day in the sun?

Out now! Beatport: bit.ly/ZULUADE2014 Itunes: bit.ly/ZULUADEITUNES Leaving the established labels in their wake, Zulu Records bring together these six exclusive tracks from some of the hottest house producers out there in another of their acclaimed themed compilations; with what can only be described as a tornado of talent, Amsterdam 2014 features the smoothest prime cuts that’ll be heard during the conference. The fourth Zulu compilation of the year kicks off proceedings with Nick Fiorucci & Luca Debonaire followed by an exclusive first release from Night Safari with their soul-inspired track Night Franklin. The sounds of Benny Royal, Giddy & Jamie K, Ron Carroll, R.O.N.N. & Emilio Hernandez transport you to a whole new level while Modaal & Discojack round things off with the aptly named Don’t Stop. As the follow up to #BeatportDecade House, Amsterdam 2014 is yet another reminder why Zulu Records is smashing it right now and with the release gaining support from big shots including Max Vangelis, Kryder, Oliver Heldens, Patrick Hagenaar, D.O.N.S, D. Ramirez, Sonny Wharton, My Digital Enemy, Hoxton Whores, Baggi Begovic, Sick Individuals, Prok & Fitch, Danny Howard and Robbie Rivera it seems they can do no wrong.
