GLASTONBURY HIGHLIGHTS....

Its been a fair old while since I've posted - for many reasons may i add (Mostly because I've been right on one most of the time if not working). However, I'm back once again like the renegade master.... It's Hot isn't it!?

Well, it's not as nearly as hot as Glastonbury was a few weeks back, so, In honor of the great festival in Somerset here's a hand picked selection of some of the records that had me gleefully going off my barnet in the gorgeous Festival sun. Enjoy....

Chromeo - Fancy Footwork

Someone must have had a serious overdose of Funk during Chromeo's set at Glasto, the tent was ramo with girls, boys, freaks, straights, queens, black, white, middle age back packers and new age travellers going bonkers. Of course, yours truly was right in the mixer with them. Montreal Electronic funk at its best i reckon.

Jamie Jones - Ruckus

Jamie Jones is someone whom i have a deep growing affection for, I've now seen him a good few times and each occasion i have been infatuated by his sound... Soulful and deep. The records this chap is dropping at the minute would have made Douglas Bader get up and cut some rug. Deep House and Tech mixed in with the most luscious Discofied breakdowns a funk aficionado like myself could ask for. He played this during his Hot Natured set on the Thursday night, unfortunately the tent was one of very few open, so it was completely packed out. However, i did manage to negotiate myself a small dancing enclave where i was able to get a groove on. The version i have of this has a two minute section at the end where it goes deep and dirty - i cannot find this version but you should get the gist with this. Dark, Moody, Sexy... Yo Yo, Where's the women at?

Jamie Jones (Electric Jones) - Mold On (Hot Creations)

As I've already stated in the little rant above, The records Jamie Jones, or in this case, Electric Jones, has been putting out have really been getting me going. Not only purchasing them for my own pleasures, hearing them out is a rather delightful experience for all involved. Mold on comes in the form of another deep and quite moody sounding piece of mastery that breaks down into the most glorious vocal and uplifting bit of sunshine one could wish to hear while rushing their tits off in a field. BIG SOUND!

Aeroplane - We Cant Fly

This has admittedly raked up some air time on radio one etc, but still, it needs to be addressed that this is a great record and one that couldn't have been more appropriate to bouncing around the fields of Pilton too while suitably refreshed from various chemicals and countless slugs of goon juice. Reggae Disco anyone? Damn straight, Just serve with sun for instant satisfaction.
