There are some definite, 100% great things on there like 2 in a Room - Take Me Away:

and DJ Atomic “Herbie” - Atomic House:

Maybe have a listen to some of these with your eggs tomorrow. Your Easter eggs.

Weekender

For no particular reason this video slipped into my mind, and I thought to share with you, because it is definitely something to see. I don’t know much else about Flowered Up, but this song is an unrestrained, wide-eyed celebration of and lament to the weekend and the weekender. The guy in the video wears a slammin leather waistcoat when he goes to the club.

They released the 13 minute single Weekender in ‘92 on Heavenly, with WIZ directing this short film to go with it.

Frontman Liam Maher died of a heroin overdose on the 20th October 2009.

Two Unrelated Musical Things That Have Caught Our Earholes So Far in Two Thousand and Ten

Firstly Surfer Blood, who by all accounts are a guitar band from Florida. If you like your psy-trance then these guys probably aren’t for you, although they might be. I don’t know how eclectic you are. I don’t know you.

Second of all the Night Slugs label, run by L-Vis 1990 and Bok Bok out of London. Their first release is Mosca’s Square One EP on January 25th, and its content sounds effing incredible. And to play us out here’s a video of what looks like someone cutting a Square One dubplate. Take it away Mosca!
