off

so it was half-term this week in sheffield so I took the family on a trip to glasgow, broke my arm, came back and promptly got a stomach bug, hence the semi-random blogging today…

Who’d you vote for?

DanceCrasher:
“Here are a few Reggae related ones that we check regularly, the emphasis tends to be less on older sounds and more on modern stuff… Let us know about any you check (not LP download sites though – we don’t deal with bootleggers) and just for a laugh, vote in the poll. We just hope that this doesn’t cause as many ructions as the previous article about messageboards 😉

Played on Rinse!

Thursday night was big for me.
Blackdown and Dusk did their first Keysound show on Rinse. And they played one of my tracks as their last tune! My first time getting played on Rinse. It was a VIP thing called Lady Dub which is the first in a series of Devotional Dubz. More stuff like this is on the way…

Nude

As I write this I am standing stark naked in front of the window of a hotel room in Heathrow having just consumed vast amounts of smoked salmon and dry white wine.

It does not appear ythat anyone is looking, so it looks like I got away with it. I fly to Stockholm tomorrow. Who knows what will happen then.

Wow, have we got some good stuff coming in Woofah 2!!! Some MAJOR dancehall and grime interviews, and if I can wangle it, a VERY VERY special last minute dubstep interview about what will be one of the biggest and most controversial dubstep albums of the year!

Other than that I can only thank the MULTITUDES who bought the black dog’s magnificent FLOODS 12 – awesome, awesome bass science there, one of the best releass I’ve ever been involved in. Big up the dog!

Grievous Angel Presents 4x4Heaven: a mix of classic vocal garage

What with it being both the party season and time for a resurgence in funky house and garage, I felt compelled to do a mix of classic 4×4 UK garage.

It’s only short – about 40 minutes – but if you need a bit of peak time hands in the air big vocal action over Yule and New Year, this might well hit the spot.

Dixie Peach – Gwaan (Mr Bumpy Dub Mix). JTS Studio 2002
El Tuff Project: Drive Me Crazy. Qualifide 2003
Robbie Craig: Searching (Krush Groove Remix). Public Demand 1999
Victor Romero – Love Will Find A Way (Ray Hurley, Scott Garcia & Mark Yardley Full Vocal Mix). Public Demand 1998
Lavonz Vs Deneshae: Personality (Original Lavonz Vocal Mix). Locked On 2001
Wideboys: Move It Down (4×4 mix). Garage Jams 2002
Sound of One: As I Am (Crazy Bank Mix). Locked On 1998
Julia Roberts: Free Love (98 Bumpy Sunday Mix). Delirious 1997
East 17: Betcha Can’t Wait (Sunship Remix). Telstar 1997
Wideboys: Get On Up (4×4). Garage Jams 2002

It starts off dubby, then rapidly goes into some very, very big vocal tunes. The E17 one is just fantastic.

It should be up at http://www.grievousangel.net/GA-mp3s/4x4heaven.mp3 now.

Have a good one
