Aural Pleasure: Waajeed (Power in Numbers)

Happy Monday! 

Hope everyone had a great weekend at home, listening to music, reading, creating tunes, sitting on the couch, eating more than usual, cleaning out the garage, declutteing your space, working out or whatever else you maybe up to at this point in time. 

I listened to this tune quite a bit, amongst others, whilst doing a bit of skipping. 

If you have a skipping rope I highly recommend it. This particular tune 'Power In Numbers' is the second single from Waajeeds, 'From the Dirt LP' out on Dirt Tech Reck.

Aural pleasure: Ben Spalding LIVE at Cafe Oslo, Amsterdam

How is everyone managing with the lockdown, quarantine, social isolation and social distancing? Hope anyone reading this is doing really well (and everyone else, of course!), not consuming too much news and leaning more to the bright side, not dark, if at all possible.

Suddently the world as we know it has come to a halt leaving everyone in an entirely different situation incredibly quickly, with some jobs turning to dust and others being appreciated now more than ever. With the message loud and clear of stay home, save lives. It seems many are using that time to enjoy music more than ever. Music unites us and at times like these thats what we need more than ever.

Here is a mix I have enjoyed on many occasions, full of disco delights and uplifting vibes. There are 2 parts to it and I have managed to upload the second one (I have a minor glitch embedding the first part!) Its by Ben Spalding founder of Puzzle Projects Group, home to mini brands including PuzzleProjectMusic and PuzzledOfficial. Take a look, have a dig and listen, you're bound to find some beauties to see you through!

Enjoy the mix and stay home, stay safe!

Aural pleasure: Darius Syrossian (Moxy Muzik)

This one is being shared after hearing the snippet of a Moxy Muzik release on Skreamizm instagram. I heard it and then swiftly tried to find it via the worldwide web and found very little other than some great Moxy Muzik releases.

Finally, twitter became my friend and I popped up a tweet to try to find it, usually I do this kind of thing and no one responds, well, not often. This time, I got a response, bringing me to todays upload.

At the moment, this mix is the only place you can here the said tune I'm on about, unless you ordered a copy of the very limited vinyl, which is on its second release and can be sourced below (all proceeds going to a good cause too, Manchester Childrens Hospital). The tune in question can be heard roughly 11mins into this mix.

Enjoy, its a definite guaranteed booty shakin' floor filler!

Aural pleasure: Desert Hearts Records Doc Martin 074

I have been trying to up my running game recently, as its the best feeling when your fitness is on point. Anyone feel the same? I have been doing some steady runs and easing my way back in and      I can't run without the help of some decent tunes, hence, I've been looking for some serious bpms to keep me going. I stumbled upon Desert Hearts Records on soundcloud a while ago and found Doc Martin 074 today. it is a beast and has some proper groovers in there. Listen at your leisure and be prepared to dance, run or move!
