Mix Monday: John Eden and Grievous Angel

John Eden and Grievous Angel have done an excellent job of helping me forget the bleak mid winter with this beautiful selection of classic Lovers Rock. John has compiled a selection of his favourite tunes and handed it over to GA for dubs, effects and mastering. The result is an hour of bittersweet Lovers Rock classics overdubbed with spaced out sirens, horns, and whistles. You can read John's note on the mix here and GA's here. With this on the stereo, the curtains closed, and the heating up full, I could almost pretend that it wasn't December in SE17.

Mixtape Monday: Jack B Nimble.

I was DJing in Nottingham the other week when a character emerged out of the gloom and pressed a CD into my hand. The character in question was mashup Maestro Jack B Nimble and the CD was his latest mixtape. Ranging everywhere from Funky House to Bashment to Bassline to Balkan Beat with a smattering of breaks and even a smidgen of Chaka Demus. Its bascially an hour of straight up party bangers, perfect for a drab autumn Monday.

You can stream or download it below.

Dreadsquad feat. Ward 21 & Lady Chann‏

Things I didn't know before.
1. Reggae is big in Poland.
2. Polish reggae is really good.

This has been proven to me this week by Dreadsquad, two hot producers from Lodz. Their new record features the mighty Ward 21 and Lady Chann and is a straight ahead reggae banger. Backed by fierce jungle, dubstep, funky and bashment refixes the EP is well worth checking.

You can listen to a promo mix below and the whole EP is out this month.

It's been around for a few weeks now but LV's excellent Kwaito mix for Blackdown's blog is the only thing (apart from service station patisserie) that soothed my shattered brain on the ride home. Bits of funky house and and dubby sounds mix with trampling Kwaito beats. You can grab the mix below but I'd recommend checking the blog (here) for a really interesting interview and Kwaito primer.
