get it up for love part 2

We had posted this track last summer but i thought it definitely deserved a repost.Through our blog we are going to be sharing some great tracks in the next few months and make it again a place to find great music.I know we had neglected it for quite a while but i will try to make it fresh and interesting again.I'm gonna be changing the layout of the page a bit and maybe a few new features.So for now this is the best track you can use to make a Dj Harvey impersonation when you are djing in front of your friends or your mirror.

Here's my new mix! ENJOY

especially for you

Harvey explaining how he trashed the place at his Sydney gig while giving a lecture on digging,and ends up almost crying to a Jason Donovan and Kylie duet.The story with the mashed Bozak mixer is already legendary and is another reason to give Harvey the titel of the most colorful and strong persona on the music circuit.I mean the guy is almost cuckoo and captivates audiences and fans everywhere with every aspect of his behaviour and musical skills.Especially for you..

rainy season

A lot of people complain that i make too many mixes and it's hard keeping up with them.Another complaint is that my mixes are too long.I think i will have to follow some advice regarding the first matter.As far as the second one is concerned i tried really hard making this as short as possible but i ended up with something more than an hour and a half.I think that when you use words to form a sentence if you omit some of the words the most probable scenario is that you are gonna be talking gibberish.Same here.I used all the songs i wanted to tell a little bittersweet story.About waking up in a freezing room with moisture forming little pools on the bathroom windows,your red eyes saying hi on the mirror,the lazy moves of your legs trying to fit in your pants,an intimate scent on your sheets,the taste of last night in your mouth,a missed call from mum,walking to New Cross station with your hands freezing in your pockets,lost in translation in high definition after a curry,a patch of broken tiles in my bathroom,falling,late night confessions from an old crash,the sound of rain,my empty fridge,nightbus rides to Streatham with ''I'',the Pale Fountains,antibiotics,New years day.This is rainy season.My new mix.Hope it goes straight to your heart.And i promise not to make a new one for the next few months.Cross my heart.

ghost of christmas past

This is the mix i made for the Greece is for lovers Christmas sale at Myran.Wishing you all a merry Christmas and loads of love from the people you care about.Let's all feel the real spirit of these days which is loving and forgiving and less buying and eating although we can all use some of that too.

This is almost a dream coming true!My good friend David from Non Collective dropped this idea of a London based party sometime ago that would feature friends that have contributed to his wonderful site with mixes.A small core has formed over the past two years of real music lovers that share the same passion.Some of us ended up being good friends.So for the first time we managed to make this real and we are inviting you to our first ever party on the 10th of December at the ''Junction Room'' in Dalston.Hope to see some of you there dancing in a friendly and real atmosphere that almost feels like family.

the secret history

Making a mix for Non Collective is always a chance for me to let my creativity run wild.This time i took inspiration from my favourite novel,the ''Secret History'' by Donna Tartt.This is a mix that could be the soundtrack to a film or a story.My aim was to create an atmosphere that sucks you in for an hour and a half.Hope this takes you somewhere.Enjoy!

in the heart of love

I know that this blog looks like it's slowly ''dying'' and it's true that if you don't water your flowers they are in for bad dry days.So i thought i post something here that is a bit out of the ordinary and worths a mention.Released only in cassete Woo's masterpiece ''Into The Heart Of Love'' is the record the Durutti Column would have made with the Penguin Cafe Orchestra produced by Brian Eno in an ideal world.The record is an experience you have to witness on your own.It will take you a small trip to world above the clouds where gravity is insignificant and our earthly lives seem so distant.

dr rob:sorting out my sevens-for elliot smith

So if you thought this blog is feeling a bit dead lately well i can't really blame you.Posting tracks is not my favourite thing lately.At some point i felt that almost every thing out there is blogged or exposed in some way or another so it's really hard staying original after some point.So there comes a time when you got to stop and think,oh there is so much beautiful music out there to listen and enjoy instead of spending time trying to find what has been kept secret from the blogosphere.I mean sometimes i prefer relaxing and listening to a Mazzy Star record instead of digging amongst rare electronic records from Greek artists.This is a fine example of that kind of spirit by a really good friend of this blog and a real music aficionado,Dr Rob from Tokyo.Rob sent me this mix last year bit i never posted it because i thought it was a bit melancholic at the time.It turned out to be one my favourite mixes from Rob and a really personal as well.If i could i would prefer Rob doing the intro to his mix in the beautiful way he usually does.Anyway this is a selection of downer pop 7 inches mixed together on a half drunk night.Let your heart run free and enjoy this beautiful mix.

the light

So,at last here is a chance for me to write something except posting just songs and being silent.This is a quite special occasion for what i believe is an exceptional case of new music is finally getting a proper release.For me the rather overlooked and impossible to get ''The Rose'' by The Laughing Light of Plenty was a glorious piece of ''baggy'' pop,the bastard child of Ian Brown and Shaun Ryder that sounded like a left out single from the New Fads with a new production.For me it still stands out as a rare case of real music in an ocean of releases of boring and unimaginative nu house,nu balearic,nu disco nu whatever and edits of songs that should never been messed with.After listening Flow Motion on Beats In Space show with guest Kenji Takimi was convinced that these guys are not joking around.Flow Motion is again captivating from the first listen and feels so familiar like listening to all your favourite records in one go.The album is shortly arriving so i would be prepared to order this as soon as posssible.The artwork alone is a reasonbuying if you not conveived by the music to invest in the best thing to be put on was lately.Follow the link below for good soundclips and a look at the art.

meltemi

Meltemi is a strong northern wind that blows every August round the Aegean sea.Im back from the Aegean in a city that resembles an inferno.The meltemi winds didn't show up this year at our usual rendezvous.For me that's a bad sign.But maybe they are just a little late.Maybe something happened on the way.The nights this summer lacked this frisky coolness that made you wrap up in your sweater to look for cover.My field of dreams was a bit hotter this year but nevertheless every single holiday i spent in the Aegean is a reason to fill my cabinet of memories with even more unique moments.This is a mix i made before leaving for my holidays.It kept me good company during the small hours.My friends were complaining it's not dance mix and that it sent them to sleep.Maybe they were right.Since my camera broke down and i have no photos to post from my holidays maybe this mix is the best way to show you some images from those times.Even if it sends you to sleep im sure it will be a very sweet one full of surreal dreams about a lady dressed in blue calling you to join her in an aquatic kingdom where life is eternal.

Mediterranean Beat Part 2

So here is the deal.Last summer i made two mixes that still remain as two of my favourites till now.One of them was called mediterranean beat and it was a tribute to all things balearic.I decied to make a second part to this mix just before i leave for my holidays in the islands of the Aegean which is my main inspiration for all this romantic themed mixes that worship the ghosts of Mike Francis and Jacques Mayol,the Aegean sea,''Summer Lovers'',Amnesia,Phil Mison playing at Del Mar,my first time at Mykonos,Cherry Lips,anchors,Spagetti del Mare and last but not least the sun.So this is part 2 of Meditarranean Beat.I was thinking what all this balearic thing really means to me and after all i thought it's just my way of escaping from the grayness of reality to a place where the sun always shine and people smile.Take this mix with you on your holidays and think of me while listening.I will be happy giving you some moments of true happiness.

Mediterranean Beat Part 2

mike

The dream is getting close.It's almost there.Only a few days away from diving in the mediterranean sea.With music like this to keep me company.Mike Francis is like an old friend tapping me on the back when his voice hits my ears through the speakers.It's almost weird how can someone touch you so deeply with his music.Mike you were one of my heroes.The voice of my summers.I guess you all know this one but it's worth giving it another go.
