Website problems & CLASSICS!!

aaaaarrrrrgghhhhh!!!!

As some of you may have noticed, I've had massive problems with my website for over a month now after transferring (very unsuccessfully) to a new, disastrous host.

I am now waiting for my site to be transferred again, to a hopefully better one, but in the meantime I'll just use the blog.

At the moment there is no gigs/news section but the only thing I'd really like to push is my "Classics" gig at Ivy this Saturday. I'm not normally one for looking backwards, especially when "underground" music is concerned, but this is the first time I've done a classics set ever so I'm really looking forward to it. It's also got me thinking I should get around to doing the classics mix I've been thinking about for so long. Having dug out some huge tracks from the early Skank days, going back to 93/94 and racking my brains for some of the stuff guys like Nick Arthur, Ronnie Pacitti and Brian Hutcheon used to play, I've managed to source some amazing old stuff. Lots of Zoom and Hard Hands kinda stuff, including the obvious Shi-take, Sourmash, Flammable, Delta Lady tracks, to the less obvious including the TTP releases (unbelievably ace and still sounding fresh today), tribal stuff like The Daou, plus a few of the older Billy Nasty things like Razor's Edge and Exit EEE, and some of the Hyper Hype stuff - Mo-Tune anyone?

Anyway I will get that classics mix done soon but in the meantime if any of you can make it to Ivy on Saturday I'll be on early doors, probably 11-12.30 or so, hopefully see some of you there :)
