DOPE ON PLASTIC
clubs_ mixtapes_ music
Bangin’ session at Plastic People last night, full props to Alex Nut, Floating Points & the rest of the spinners. Heard a solid selection of new skool joints, but the real highlight for me came from a 20 minute rotation of Golden Era Hip Hop classics. Not the obvious selections you’d get on some lame compilation but the real deal.
Much like this killer set from Jez at Innersounds. Posted this in our previous incarnation, but long overdue a re visit.
Jez Proctor — The Fine line between Hyper and Stupid

Cloudy City Funk
mixtapes_ music
With upcoming releases for Dam Funk, Ad Bourke and Rozzi Daime, Citinite are clearly on the verge of massive things. Their blueprint for 21st century funk not only sounds lightyears ahead of the competition, but increasingly feels like the natural inheritor to the legacy of underground, electronic music set out over the last 30 years by freaks with synths in Chicago, Detriot, Minneapolis and wherever else .
Next month they are hosting a party with LuckyMe at the Lightbox (an amzing looking club in Vauxhall with thousands of LEDs embeddded in the walls !!!). It promises to be one of the parties of the year and a primer (for anyone interested) in what the future sounds like.
If you can’t wait that long, Manni has put together a mix packed full of exclusive unreleased killers (tracklisting below the jump)
I can’t think of any thing else that comes as close to collectively sounding like the music Prince would be making if he still had something to prove.

Ulysses82-DEEP FREQ MIX
mixtapes_ ulysses82
Last week we put together a mix for our pal Disco Jesus on the wonderful Deep Frequency Radio.
It’s now available to stream or download here. (it’s the show from the 18th June).
It’s the first mix I’ve been involved with for ages and it felt pretty good to summarize what we have been playing out and about for the last six months or so.
Anyway, take a listen and hope you enjoy it.
