You know, sometimes the story behind the music is almost as good as the music itself.
Almost.
I wish I could remember where I came across Unusual & Electric about two weeks as I am super chuffed that I did. Upon checking out their tunes I discovered that I couldn't find them for purchase in the States. I emailed U&E and asked if they knew of anywhere I could buy them here. They offered to send me both their EPs and they also ok'd me posting a tune here.
Today, the package arrived and not only had I gotten the two EPs but along with it there were 3 mixes by Adam from U&E (that have super designs as part of the packaging) as well as one of the coolest posters that I've ever seen (now happily on my office wall). The designs are by iyrie so check out their site for some cool work.
So-much thanks to Adam (and Mark) for sending me this great music and artwork. Keep making choice tunes and making these connections mate. Nice one. Next time I'm in London we'll be grabbing some beers and a sound system!
Tonight's tune is called 'st. john street dub #2' . It was a toss up between this and 'slumber zirkus' which is definitely a must have for a night out dancing with your mates. All in all I'd say that these tunes would play massively well on a club system with their solid bass beats but
just may be more suited to a bbq or house party, where the dancing goes on into the wee hours of the morning.
st. john street dub #2 is just so catchy and tight. A really sweetly produced combination of reggae, dub, and solid housey beat with the reliable hats keeping your eye on the ball. ;-)
Here's what Mr.Sugardaddy, Kris Needs, had to say about it in Mixmag "a stripped-down-filth-house vamp somewhat recalling early 90s Leftfield/Sabres in steamy underground club mode".
I just can's believe how surprise when i receive my iphone 4. Its so charming and functional! But there's one thing i don't satisfy, i don't like the color. Waiting for the coming white iphone 4 conversion kit.
