So, here's the reason for the radio silence here for the last few weeks. For the foreseeable future we're gone. But not to worry you can find us all over at Slothboogie where we'll be hanging our hats as Deejay's & Bloggers. Combining all of us on one platform means we can offer you all the musical goodness you need in one place. So head over and see you soon.

Over & out, Timmy, KMG & Debonair.

Beats In Space - Jamie XX 2xb2b John Talabot We do harp on about this particular show quite a lot in these parts, but this is a bit special. Jamie XX & John Talabot go 2 on 2 off for the whole show. It's very similar to the format we've done at Tapped over years, we all go 3 on 3 off for the whole thing. When DJ's play together a lot this format can bring out the best in everyone.

..... Thats about as close as we'll ever get to comparing ourselves to these 2 again.

Cop it here!

Detroit Swindle - 64 Ways Feat. Mayer Hawthorne (Dirt Crew Recordings) Super nice tune from the Detroit Swindle boys on Dirt Crew Recordings. Tunes like this remind me the Summer is desperately trying to get a look in. Thanks to Danny of C90'd fame for the head up on this one. We've got big things planned - hence it's a little quiet round here of late, but bare with us and you'll be rewarded.

Paper Disco - Trash the Wax Vol1 __ Paper Records

Paper’s output has often lurked on the fringes of disco and now seemed as good a time as any to jump in with both feet, goggles and snorkel.

"Trash The Wax Vol. 1" hits the digital racks on April 3 featuring 16 original low slung, wigged out and floor heavy cuts from the great, the good, the tapped and the untapped.

Released on Paper Disco (a sub label of Paper Recordings) it follows hot on the heels of the 80s sugar rush that was Proviant Audio’s “Drift Days & Disco Nights” which found its way in to the boxes of Tensnake, Soul Clap, Horsemeat Disco and Danny Krivit as well as garnering a Norwegian Emmy nomination for the best album of 2013.

Artists on Volume 1 range from young 80s bucks like 2 Billion Beats who are pretenders to Crazy P’s crown, Manchester’s City Life DJ of the 2013 and Wet Play resident Ste Spandex, Paper’s ginger underground house assassin Richard Seaborne and Italian duo Gran Turismo.

More seasoned support comes from veterans like bootleg king Keep Schtum, Brighton’s builder of heavy grooves Fingerman, Australia’s disco vigilante Late Nite Tuff Guy and Manchester’s best kept secret Daco. And that’s just the ones we mentioned!

Running from sleazy late night jams to 80s synth and NRG to classic cut-ups, if this album didn’t make you want to go out and jump off a podium it’s time to get your hearing checked!

Trash The Wax Vol. 1 1. Neil Diablo – Give It Up 2. 2 Billion Beats feat, Mariette Smith – See Us Through 3. Late Nite Tuff Guy – I’ve Been Thinkin’ Bout You 4. Richard Seaborne – Is This Acid? 5. Keep Schtum – Holding On 6. Chris Massey – Howard’s Hardware 7. Pablo & Shoey – Raw Human Emotion 8. Rubberlips feat. Jess Smethhurst – Inspiration 9. Gran Turismo – The Peach 10. Fingerman – Feel The Groove 11. Ste Spandex – Into Myself 12. Mezman – Dead Line 13. Check The Guns – Slave To Me 14. Daco – Something For The Weekend 15. Research – Shape The System (Bassjam Mix) 16. Leon Sweet – So Hot

Released : April 3, 2014

Shiba San - Okay - Dirtybird This absolute monster reached my ears on Rinse FM last night. Newly released as part of the Dirtybird BBQ compilation this tune has some serious muscle on the low end. I can't wait to test this one out on a big rig.

Egyptian Nipples - Back But Half Remixes

Apersonal's latest promo arrived the other day complete with some killer cuts from Session Victim, Lauer, Luvless and Jay Shepherd. I've gotta say it's mighty impressive. Lauer's offering is the pick of the pack with a punchy beat, tight Italo groove and his signature piano chords that we've all learnt to love.
