Aural pleasure: Spacetime Continuum - Movement #2 (Herbert mix)
I've been fully mesmerised by an old mix I found the other night, Matthew Herbert Electronic Mix 1999 and have been digging for some of the tracks. This one is near the inro and its a rare charm, spacey, dreamy and calmingly cool. Enjoy!
Aural pleasure: Bibi Flash
Beginning the week with some french boogie, enjoy and have a good week too!
This one is by Bibi Flash, if ever there was a name and this a Hotaru edit. I am trying not to go down a rabbit hole with this one but if you have time there are plenty of super cool edits to check out.
Someone has kindly compiled loads of information about Bibi Flash way better than I could ever articulate, so if anyone wants to know more

Aural pleasure: JPR Productions
Slipped down a rabbit hole earlier trying to find a tune I heard on the Matthew Herbert mix I posted yesterday, it's the second track in and the title is 'Hope cos I've learned to cope'. It's an old mix so there is no track list or none I know of, hence going back to digging to find it, virtually that is. It's good to do the work sometimes rather than it being there for the taking. It took dipping into a couple of old thread and voila, here it is!
A track by JPR Records, it is sampled from Patti Jo - Make me believe in you, written and produced by Curtis Mayfield don't cha know, if ever there was a rabbit hole, here we have it in action today, it was worth it!
Have a great weekend folks!
