Starkey live mix!!!!!
The Starkbot, Mayor of Starkville, live in session: “limited edition 320 of Starkey’s stunning performance at Various in Portland, Oregon April 11, 2009.” I know I always rave about Starkey but he is a complete fucking genius. Live he is, quite simply, heaven. I just found this mix today, check it out – and buy the great mix cd he did for Lo dubs.

Climate change: Recent stirrings in the UK underground jolt Riddim.ca back to life…
Kicking off our open-ended investigation of London’s rapidly mutating house scene, we sit down for an email exchange with Roska. With a foot in broken beat and shades of grime, his new EP Climate Change maintains a healthy balance between houseful sensuousness and rugged riddimic experimentation. It’s also getting caned by DJs from Marcus Nasty to kode9. Get to know Roska…
Grievous Angel playing at Audiophile@Moog, Nottingham, Friday 5th June
That’s it. I’m playing Nottingham on Friday night. Party is free, goes from 8PM to 4AM and it should go off. I’m playing dubstep, garage and funky.
Loser / Move Down Low funky remixes on pre-order at Red Eye Records
You might want to know that you can pre-order the Loser / Move Down Low release at Red Eye already. Catalogue number 21483, listed as BUBBLEZ : Move Down Low / Loser : DEVOTIONAL DUBZ, ERZULIE 02. It’s not back from pressing yet but there won’t be many about so you might want to get in early.
This is the tune that The Guardian wrote about a while back, and which more importantly Kode 9, Dub Boy, Atki2 etc have been hammering for months. If you saw Kode play at El B’s FWD launch party you’ll have seen how both of these tunes move a floor – or at least they do on the Plastic People sound system!
Bubblez is the new name for funky bootz.
Hold tight for the Ice Rink / Riko remix – it won’t be coming out and not many people will be getting it, but you’ll hear it in the clubs soon.
Big up…

This is a picture of me DJing at Ruffnek Diskotek / Monster Bass. Check out the size of Mungo’s rig, it’s chuffing massive and sounds ridiculously fat! Wasn’t turned up when I was playing but still sounded great.
Thanks to Heatwave for the pic!

Ace interview with K-Man by the man like Philip Sherbourne, who is a fan of Lady Dub and an all-round good egg from the techno scene. Only he is much more than that.
Move Down Low played at DMZ
Big up Kode 9 for playing Move Down Low at DMZ. Wicked.
There’s a version of this coming out as a bootleg in a few weeks with Loser on the flip.
Funky Manifesto: a compilation of superb UK Funky radio rips
This is not a mix. Rather, this is a compilation of the best UK Funky I could find, taken from radio shows. I’m NOT pretending I have these tunes. Rather, I’m showcasing the best in UK Funky. Because, while funky is wonderful, there’s a lot of tunes out there I don’t like that much, and I wanted an hour of music I could point that would say, “this is what I want. This is what I want to make.” Something that would be, for want of a better word, a manifesto of what Funky could be; what I think it should be. I’m not very geeky about funky, or at least not yet, I just love it and listen to it and make it, so I don’t know many of the tunes on here. Probably someone like Queen of Sheba or Paul Autonomic knows every single one, but I don’t. The lyrics tab has timings of the radio shows and podcasts that I’ve taken the rips from.
What I do know is that this stuff absolutely rocks. Funky skeptics, start here.
