[Shards Fragments and Totems]
A small dark room full of really cool people, fantastic film projections in the background, and a huge, high quality sound system. Heaven on earth. That’s what Electronic Supper Club is like.
Invite only so mail us if you need to get there and we don’t know you already.
Mista Men and SixFootSick are awesome DJs. I’ll be playing a few garage, grime and funky records and might indulge in some Ableton performance too.
New hard UK funky track out now exclusively on Boomkat.
There’ll be a bunch of tunes coming out on my Devotional Dubz label over the next few months. It’ll mostly be UKF, house, 130-ish ragga and a bit of 140. First up is ERZULIE04, Torn Apart b/w Rock Da Bass, two heavy funky tunes.
It’s the follow up to Kleer on Forefront recordings, a heavy acid 130 tune that went over OK, got some airplay from Marcus Nasty – this is an awesome clip: http://www.grievousangel.net/GAMixes/Kleer_by_Grievous_Angel_on_Marcus_Nasty_RInse_FM_28_March_2012.mp3

one take vinyl mix from original pressings by grievous angel
The wonderful people at Sonic Router blog have been kind enough to host a big new mix from me, and do an interview, which is very good of them. In fact it’s an ambition fulfilled – Sonic Router is one of the absolute top blogs / sites out there and it’s a privelege to be featured.
Here’s the link for the interview and the mix: http://www.sonicrouter.com/2011/07/sr-mix-93-grievous-angel-keysound/
It’s number 93 in the series, which is of course quite amusing 🙂 as is the fact that it was posted right at the start of the Dog Daze of July.
Here’s some notes on the tracks:
Kerri Chandler & Monique Bingham: In The Morning (Lost Love Dub) [Bigga Sounds 2006]
Classy, groovy deep vocal house track, classic sound
Shackleton: Blood Rhythm (Grievous Angel Edit) (2011)
just a hint of my edit of this great track for atmosphere
Jamie Woon: Night Air [Ramadanman Remix] (Grievous Angel 130 Edit) [Candent Songs 2010]
Love this remix, and love playing it at 130 not 110 – special little edit from me. Great vocal tune obviously
Zander Hardy: Attack [Deep Teknologi Records 2010]
Taking it just a touch heavier now, so much great Deep Teknologi gear out there right now
Oddyssey: Use It Up and Wear It Out (Grievous Angel Edit) [RCA 1980]
Been meaning to work up an Odyssey refix since 2009, might send this out as a full edit some time
Unknown Soulja: Killing Kong [Unreleased 2010]
One of my absolute favourite tunes from 2010, brilliant refix by Unknown Soulja
Don Morris: Amiga [Deep Teknologi Records 2010]
Another great tough house sound from DT
Grievous Angel: Kleer [Unreleased 2011]
There’s an acid revival coming, here’s one of my contributions, big swooping acid arpeggios and harsh sawtooth stabs on a funky beat, want to put this out
DJ Gregory: Don’t Panic [Faya Combo 2009]
Quite simply one of the biggest house tunes ever made and a seminal influence on UK funky, still destroys the dance
T.Williams: Drumstrumental [Deep Teknologi Records 2010]
You know where I’m going with DT now 🙂
DiscoKaina: Click Me On (Grievous Angel Remix) [Unreleased 2011]
Cracking New York disco diva on a UK funky flex, Amy B is a fantastic vocalist, hot latin vocal action
DJ Gregory & Gregor Salto: Con Alegria (Solo ‘More Cowbell’ Remix) [Defected 2009]
Stepping up a gear now, more latin action!
Grievous Angel Vs Kalbata: Reload [Unreleased 2011]
Really heavy dread funky – brand new collaboration between me and the brilliant Kalbata who is one of my favourite producers. Wicked tune!
Grievous Angel feat. Rubi Dan: Move Down Low VIP [Soul Jazz 2010]
Probably my biggest tune. Still goes off.
Wiley: Electric Boogaloo (ROLLER EXPRESS RMX) [One Love 2010]
Amazing remix, love it so much, massive
Delphic: Halcyon. (L-Vis 1990 Remix) [Chimeric Records 2010]
LVis totally smacked it on this. Massive synths
Felix Da Housecat: Kick Drum [2009]
Weird half step house, really good, got into this when Cooly G started playing it, goes great at 140 over Loefah
Grievous Angel: Lush Vibes [Unreleased 2010]
Brand new thing from me, big synths, big melodies, proper performance, quite a few people been into this
Shackleton: Blood Rhythm (Grievous Angel Funky Remix) [Unreleased 2011]
Another version of Blood Rhythm, love this tune, can’t stop re-doing it!
So I’m pretty proud of this mix. Plenty more coming – another garage / dubstep one, a 4×4 UKG one, and an 80s rock one all waiting to go up!

I love grime but I haven’t done that many grime mixes. I suppose the biggest one so far is the Grime in the Dancehall mix I did with John Eden for blogariddims. That was back in 2008 and not long after, I did this mix… and then never sent it to anyone other than John. I always thought it was alright but could’ve been just a bit better. Anyway, I’ve gone back to it and it sounds fine TBH so I’m happy to put it up, especially since I’ve got a few more grime mixes I want to get into. I mean, I still haven’t put up a mix with my favourite grime instrumental – in fact my favourite electronic record of all time – Big$hot’s Glitch. Trust me, that tune destroys the dance every time.
So this is a mix of mostly mid- to late-period grime, some instrumentals and some vocal cuts, with an emphasis on banging percussive FOWARD-ness. It’s only half an hour and I can’t remember what all the tunes are but they’re all good. I think you’ll like it.

I wanted to do a mix of rough as fuck MC-driven garage… the stuff that flowed from UK fast chat and US hiphop and eventually filtered into grime in 2002. And here it is – a new year’s present for you.

Enjoy.
Fabulous selection from John as usual. I just did FX, edits and mastering. Amazing introduction to Lovers Rock, if you haven’t experienced really good lovers, this is the mix you need, reckon this might change a few minds!
This is a 4×4 garage mix I did in the summer and put up on Twitter but not here yet… people seem to like it, full of great twisted jacking deep 4×4 garage tunes. Worth the download just to hear the first one from Madie Myles, absolute ecstasy…
