In other news – after the success of the !Kaboogie audio workshop at the DEAF(sic) festival(sic) we’re starting a series of audio and media workshops next week before the !K club. Details on this later.

In other news-

Flicked onto one of those reality cop shows recently and saw two U.K. police hassleing two (eastern?) guys cause they were carrying a little scrap they’d tatted(like a foot or two). The police accused them of not bathing and needing to brush thier teeth!!??

Voice over: “Officers John and Mark struggle to deal with the smelly foreigners….”

Who was commiting an offence here?

And here’s a crazy calypso cover about it.

Thiaz Itch – Lord Kitchener – New York Subway

Mighty sparrow

Starting with some calypso from the occasionally maligned Harry Belafonte,( the line being that he exploited ‘real’ calypso- I don’t have much time for the keepers of ‘tradition’) this sounds like Barney McKenna of the Dubliners was playing tenor banjo in Trinidad(picture him in blackface) . Check king of calypsonians Mighty Sparrow’s Erasmus B Black as possibly the best tune ever. Those who know me can guess the extra reason for my current fascination with this tune.

Other highlights Ed Devane and Judas the bimboy’s remixes on the forthcoming Super extra bonus party remix album (launching in Andrew’s lane next weekend for those in Dublin) and a half hour prog synth work out from the new Matmos product. I’ll try to fix up the tracklist later.

Harry Belafonte – When the yankees are gone
Mighty Sparrow -The yankee way
Mighty Sparrow-Erasmus b black
Roots manuva – Again and again – moody boys remix
heavy art –0
cotti v mr parti feat jammer dem fi know
A&e Dept -Â The rabbitâ€™s Â name was (mixed on top of the last one)
Zomby -Liquid dance hall
drums
zomby
Bass junkie
computer people
Bass junike – circuitry
Matmos -supreme balloon Â – Half hour track to the new album
Girl

Ed Devane -Super extra bonus party remix
Judas de Bimboy -Â Super extra bonus party remix
Postal Service- The district sleep alone tonight – DJ Downfall remix

gramophone disco

Just back/recovered from Mantua – shouts to everybody- crew and punters who made it good diy vibes from begining to end. The Gramophone disco went well and same props. And cheers to everybody for enjoying my bassline/4×4 set in the low end tent and letting me know. I’ll post some pics etc soon.

Not a million miles from that set – this is everywhere the last week or so and well worth checkin’- nice bit of a work out on the buy out riddim near the end(Notch – Nuttinâ€™ Nuh Go So (RCola Remix), one of my fav riddims.

Immediate sounds vol01
