Up the Albion!

Yes! I'm there early. If I get my ticket back. How the f*** did you get a gig DJing at the Theatre of Broken Dreams?

This track is by a producer from Brighton who primarily makes hip hop

Lee will enjoy this complete and utter TUNE. Excellently crafted.

Glorious piece of music.

I don't use the word GLORIOUS nearly enough

Douglas Greed is a badman, I would highly recommend cheacking out koto 125 which has a fantastic video. Also go to soundcloud.com (best website ever fyi) and search for Douglas Greed - Marcel. TUNE.

And this is a completely brilliant remix of Tracey Thorn (Everything but the Girl) doing Kings Cross (Pet Shop Boys) by the boys who can do no wrong for me at the minute, Hot Chip.

Enjoy!

This is nice (and clever lyrics)

This is new to me. A Nigerian/German girl called Nneka. Trip-hoppy and shades of Neneh Cherry. What's not to like. The live videos don't embed so please do check her out on Youtube.

And a track that reminds me of the Peter Bjorn and John Whistling Song.

And a tex-mex band, Beirut, that I came across randomly the other week. Reminds me of Calexico and British Sea Power all rolled into one

Talking of Nneka ( Ibo for "mother is supreme" ), how about Asa ? Another Euro/Naija artist, this time the Euro connection is France.

I love this one of hers.

Beirut's album - The Flying Club Cup - is bloody lovely !!!

Love this video from it.

The last one is as good as it gets. Really is

And last one from me tonight. The absolute mutts nuts. A really lovely retro feel to thiws and clean, crisp breaks and samples.

Living proof that this is THE BEST THREAD EVER

This puts me in mind of the period in reggae dancehall, around the late 80's I think ?, when the " we run tings tings nuh run we" style lyrics were doing the rounds.

Loved it when Supercat simply answered everybody with this:

I've ordered the album tonight, as it happens so will pass onto you when I get it.

Nice one.

I don't think this lot compete ( but I enjoyed it at the time and still have one of their old albums) but to give a little, shall we say, historical context to full blown reggae with strings:

There's also this collaboration with the royal philharmonic concert orchestra too of course :

Am I seriously offering comparisons here

 

[1066familyman]

Off to bed with something, well.....just well nice I reckon.

Nice album this. Particularly loving this track :

[Buzzer]

You're right. A very very nice album.

Saw this band at the Concorde a year or two back. Very Sesame Street(ish)
