Diverse, classic and unexpected. Describes the mix and Mr Weatherall rather well . Everything from hip hop to italo on this one.

Recent discovery for me, Stephen Day has done a great job to get me to play Wham! check his page out, some fine work done over the months, available for free download... quick. Hoping to feature a mix from Stephen soon, watch this space.

  George Benson - What's On Your Mind (soho808 something's going on edit) by soho808

Sultry little version this, smooth and well, kinda sexual. soho808 on the re-edit duties, one for my bar sets or at home.

  Jolene (Northern Re-Touch) by BorderClinic

This hit my inbox earlier in the week and being a sucker for Jolene since I was a kid, I couldn't resist posting, poor quality d/l but he was good enough to link me to an aiff when I asked. Check it out, sure a lot of you won't like but I'm certain a lot more will.

Jay Haze Music 2.0 Interview on RA

Jay Haze delivers a great piece to RA from his home in Lima, covers music and the profiteers he despises working within the industry. His take on album releases and how electronic music has taken down the concept of an album, fabric and their strengths in the supporting of artists they believe in, London and our intellect.

More importantly Jay touches on being human and connecting with that around us, the problems we can act on resolving, instead of just accepting them and throwing a dollar at them.

Interesting read. LINK

R&B edits! I'm kinda diggin them

I used to dread the approach of some 'processed' bird and her mate, fresh out the tanning booth and minus their skirts or knickers or both to deliver the immortal line ' got any r&b?' 'pon the replay?' etc etc.

I used to dread it and have prepacked answers ready to discourage any further demands and embarrass them slightly, not too much as they have a knack of getting steroid abusers involved if foul language is used too soon.

Perversely of recent, for reasons I know not why,I have found myself strangely drawn to early Usher tracks and Lumidee. Zhane and Tweet. It all sprang out of the commercial gigs I pick up for $, where the crowd are mainstream and request focused.  21 year old's telling me what they wanna hear often lead to me needing to play some R&B kinda tunes.

It seems I am not alone in this initially shameful penchant. As time went by I realised there are plenty of jocks playing, albeit their own edits, R&B and Hip Hop.

Here I intend to highlight or name & shame depending on your standpoint a few of the best examples...or worst offenders.

Wolf & Lamb Black , Crosstown Rebels, Greg Wilson, Souled, Soul Clap, Green Meadows, Fat Camp, Leo Zero - All guilty of supporting and promoting a genre sneered at over the years by a massive amount of the DJ's I know.

  Erykah Badu - Honey (Souled Remix) by Souled


Bill Brewster being naughty!
  02 Bobby by Soul Clap
Elyte and Cnyce Humpin around with Bobby.
  What's Up by Green Meadows
Hey WTF's up with Green Meadows

Genius use of Massive Attack, Amerie & The Stones - hats off to the PTA for these and of course to Mr Wilson for putting them together.

  Rhianna 'Rude Boy' ( Leo Zero Re-work) by Leo Zero
Not the best in my opinion but proof it goes further than you would expect!

Question is what you gonna do about it? I'm already embracing this, it feels good to come out the closet! Not everyone will be down with this trend but I'm riding it baby. It's up to you - you got two options, eat or throw it away?

New label alert - Boogie Originals

From the people that brought you Cosmic Boogie, a new label is in the wings awaiting it's debut release on vinyl only. A 3 track EP from the North of England, Stu Robinson (Cosmic Boogie, Andy Ash & Neil Scott (El Diablo's) all contribute to what promises to be a fine release.

Here's the first one I heard from the EP 'Fast & Loose' - Cosmic Boogie. He's nailed it here, nice mid tempo house / post disco sound with the expert use of a vocal hook that appeared on another seminal release in 2010.

Extravaganza / R+B edits - Soul Clap - Wolf & Lamb. WAV

One of my staple tunes for the past 6 months. Not everyone rated it but I sure do, and it still draws quite a reaction from the crowd and interest in the booth.

It came out vinyl only on Wolf + Lamb black, with Jamie Foxx's vocal used to perfection. Here's a big fat WAV for all to enjoy

Brighton DD Exclusive date: Greg Wilson Friday February 25th, Audio

Disco Deviant bring Greg Wilson back to Brighton for what promises to be another great night. Greg Wilson needs little in the way of introduction and has been a firm favorite of ours having provided the sound track at a few almost legendary nights for us here in Brighton. 2010 has probably been one of his most successful years to date both as a DJ and remixer alike. Pablo Contraband has honed his sound over the years and seems to have nailed down delivering an exciting mix of new tracks alongside some classic sounds from house to soul, funk and disco. Always interesting. Also added to the line up is Matthew Burgess (Lowlife), he's played a massive part in the Lowlife parties over the years and was a favourite at Vintage and Electric Elephant this year too. We're happy to have him on board. Grab an early bird for £5 until mid Jan before they go up to £7. These parties do normally sell out. Tickets: Rounder / Resident / 412 Fashion / Dance 2 Or Online via RA http://www.residentadvisor.net/event.aspx?215820

DD Mix: Matthew Burgess (Lowlife)

Happy New Year, hope you all had a good time on NYE.

Last month's guest at Disco Deviant was none other than Matthew Burgess, he played a great couple of hours for us in December.

Here's part 1 of that set, I've had it on a lot since, a great selection including Pointer Sisters, Dr Hook, Firefly and what sounds like a demo of FGTH - Relax plus lot's of other classic tracks. I'm pleased to say Matthew will now be playing with myself & Greg Wilson on Feb 25th @ Audio. There are some £5 early bird tickets available from RA LINK after that they are £7 each. Grab one whilst you still can.

I will post part 2 of Matthew's set in a couple of weeks time.
