next week’s hero

resident advisor really know who to pick for their podcasts. whether it’s someone with worldwide clout like richie hawtin or underworld, or up-and-coming heroes such as aeroplane, every week they hit the spot with an hour or two of delightful tunes. this week it’s graeme clark aka the revenge. i’ve never heard of him, but then again, this time last year i’d only heard one aeroplane track so who knows where he’s headed?

RA.166 The Revenge

10 Little Boots – Stuck On Repeat (Alexander Robotnick Remix)

field day mix

so ahead of field day i was going to do a rundown of the acts i’m excited about seeing, but instead i threw a mix together with some of these acts. it’s far from exhaustive – i can’t say i’m familiar with every act on the lineup – but it features a breadth of styles and is hopefully somewhat representative of what’s on offer. there are a couple of drastic shifts in mood, which all (hopefully) make sense from a tonal point of view, but also capture the feeling of leaving one act and seeing another completely different performance on a different stage. or not either way, i hope you enjoy.

good weather for staying indoors and blogging

it’s friday and i’m a little bored. and it’s gone from dry to thunderstorm to sunny to cloudy in the last 90 minutes. currently listening to to old armand van helden tracks. no this isn’t a nostalgia post, just sayin’ i’m really excited about seeing aeroplane at field day next week. it’s just a dj set but still, they make great music and listen to great music so i think i’ll enjoy it. here’s a funny interview with one of them from dummy magazine:

Do you feel emotional when you play?

Sure! Life is about emotions! But not only good ones unfortunately.

asian dan has a link to their june mix, and i guess their set next week will follow a similar path. i hope so anyway. i guess it’s my mix for this weekend.

another act i’m really excited about seeing is final fantasy. i had the pleasure of seeing him three nights in a row (kind of) in december 2007, but haven’t seen him since. i gather his galway show last month was pretty spectacular, so i’m expecting a lot. maybe a new random cover or something.
