Yeah he bigged me up in the email but this is a nice mix, check it.

Shaun Bloodworth is a well known and excellent photographer who is best known in music circles for his portrait work for Rinse. Those amazing pictures of people like Geeneus, Chef, Skream etc? They’re by Shaun. He did the Margins Music album cover too. So he’s a badman basically. Plus, for this year’s Sonar, Mary Anne Hobbs commissioned Shaun to make a film to act as a backdrop for the artists performing on her stage. This took things to another level, with Shaun using the video function on his stills camera to shoot video of raves in Sheffield, as well as filming video portraits of particular ravers.

The film turned out great.

And then he wanted to have it out there with a soundtrack – and got a slot to premiere it, at prestigious Sheffield art cinema the Showroom. He had someone else lined up to do the soundtrack, but they couldn’t do it, so a week last Wednesday Shaun asked if I could do it.

By midnight that night, I’d delivered. And Wednesday this week, we went to the premiere!

That was an amazing night, with Mark from Wall of Sound and 6Music doing a speech on how amazing Sheffield is for inspirational music, and various art figures and Council big wigs in attendence. Best of all, Martin Ware from the Human League and Heaven 17 was there talking about the great new film about Heaven 17 that also premiered. It was cool!

And now, Shaun’s film is online. Titled Minds Locked Together, it’s a portrait of Sheffield clubbing, putting the crowd to the forefront. There are various DJs and MCs in the film, most importantly and amusingly the mighty Rodigan, but it’s really all about the people. It’s scenius in action.

My sound track starts off with jungle, including the title track, before sliding down into house, funky and sort-of-dubstep. It went off on the big system in the Showroom and I’m really pleased with the way the whole thing comes together.

You can see it here.

Please blog this, write about it etc, it’s really worth supporting!

Yup. I got a release on Soul Jazz records. I am soooo excited! Taken almost a year to come out but I am so pleased.

It’s out on Monday but its in the Soul Jazz web shop now.

It’s a new funky remix of Move Down Low. The main draw is the VIP – which is, though I say so myself, absolutely massive. Goes off every time in the dance. Best thing I’ve ever done. All massive drums, big drops, snatch of Rubi Dan’s vocal – latin funky apocalypse. Like the Ice Rink b-side mix but bigger and ruder. Sinden’s been caning it for months.

The A-side is the original funky mix – not the one that came out last year on my Devotional Dubz imprint, the one I did for Kode 9. As has passed into legend, I made the tune, sent it to Kode that night, he cut it the next day and played it at the first of Rinse’s Beyond funky sessions. He’s been playing it ever since and it’s on the new DJ Kicks mix CD he’s done. So it’s a result all round.

Will be in all the usual stores any day now.

Listen to the A-side here.

Blackdown
“O: All the values I enjoyed in early garage, especially the bpm, the shuffle, the beat base – it’s all coming back again with this new stuff. The whole 'new Wot Do U Call It dark house, Martin Kemp, Doc Daneeka thing” is that I think it fills a gap in where house is meeting dubstep at the moment and I think its really important and relevant to both scenes, because its like what I hear in those records is what definitely what I heard in dubstep in 2004/05 – just a sense of space and atmosphere, not so much about the melody but just bass beats and weird odd sounds.”

Amply demonstrated at Doc Daneeka’s fantastic set at the Harley last night. The pure rhythm, garage-tempo bass and drum, massive subs and crisp beats, that’s what’s working right now.

Though interestingly the biggest reaction of the night was for speed garage, really made the whole venue jump. Bodes well for my remix of Gremino’s Bee and Cee which pretty much merked it on Blackdown and Dusk’s Rinse show in January.

I missed Ben UFO last night though, just too knackered to make it. Would have been good to see what the best DJ in the country is drawing for at the moment to triangulate with Doc Daneeka and OneMan.

Yes. I’m playing Exodus / DMZ next month.

Warming up for El B and the magnificent Heatwave.

Most of my dubstep heroes in room 1. Kode, Mala, Loe, Scuba, Silkie…

Absolutely fucking mental. I cannot believe it.

They want 80s dancehall and “your own productions”. So there’ll be some new funky stuff, maybe the Shabba / Wicked Inna Bed remix that’s I’ve been working. Dying to play some Congo Natty too – probably Your Love, since it’s the greatest record ever made.

This is so fantastic…

Clean living in difficult circumstances: Haiti
None of these facts really point towards a supernatural cause belying the natural disasters that Haiti and New Orleans have endured. I’m a strong believer that “The Devil” only really exists as a personification of the horrors that human beings perpetrate upon one another and upon the planet. Such as slavery, for instance. Or being so abjectly terrified of a free black territory that has violently thrown off the yoke of slave owners, that you conspire to undermine its economy and stability in such a way that the repercussions are still being felt centuries later.

Hollow Earth
“though a longtime Mac-user (since Mac OS 8)”
Ah, a new boy! I helped run the introduction of OS7 when I was working in the Mac business. I go back to system 4 and a bit of system 3, but I used System 6 (and for a while, 5) professionally – including when I was a Mac journalist.

All of which shows nothing more than that I’ve got a few more grey hairs than the eternally youthful Mr Ingram 🙂
