mix: Matthew Dear aka Audion Essential Mix 15 Mar 08

Sometimes a mix comes along that you know is going to be something special - Matthew Dear's Essential Mix from a couple of weeks ago is one I was really looking forward to, and unsurprisingly he didn't disappoint. Sticking more to his Audion style sound, he treads a fine line between house and techno, on the minimal side of things at time but never losing a funky edge. I've probably made that sound crap but trust me it isn't! The mix features some top tracks from Cadenza label-mates Reboot and a particularly nice track from Prompt, a new discovery for me and one that will be heading straight into the Beatport cart.

(whilst we're on the subject of Ghostly, I noticed that Skeletons and the Kings of All Cities play in Aberdeen on 26th April, worth checking out if you like "experimentation, and unpredictability with help from an eclectic cast of collaborators (classically-trained trombonists, punk rock drummers, a junkyard boy's choir" :)

James Holden cheesefest

what a way to celebrate not posting in a couple of months than by posting this.... it's not often that James Holden, one of our first "big" undiscovered guests at Area 51 (apart from the time we had an up & coming Lee Burridge play to 100 people), is mentioned in the same sentence as cheese, but this time it's more than apt, as he becomes surely the first "name" dj to play at his own cheese tasting evening. Roquefort & roll? boom tsh... i'm here all week

Anyway, check this out (link courtesy of RA)

London’s oldest Swiss restaurant St. Moritz is the venue for a unique dance-music-meets-cheese-tasting party next week: The Fondu-Fun-Do.

"During my travels around the world I've developed a bit of an obsession for different types of cheese,” explains Border Community boss James Holden. “Now it's great to finally be able to combine my two biggest passions in one night in London—music and cheese!"

Put together by the mad wags at Allez-Allez, the night kicks off with a fondue tasting party from 9 p.m. onwards—while stocks last of course. Then the main course—non-cheesy sets from James Holden and the Allez-Allez DJs until 3 a.m. Sounds pretty civilized, huh? Be quick, though: tickets are limited to 150.

nice :)
