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.

Ulysses 82 on Radio 1 !!!!!.

Me and christophe are craziliy over-excited about this-what a great way to start the year.

Big thanks to Danny aka Red Rack’em, who is seemingly destined for ever greater heights this year.

Catch him at the Vibe bar on the 13th, and listen to the full show here.

Thursday is the Ain’t it Black 1st birthday party at Favela chic.

It’s gonna be a monster session. A celebration of an amazing year of finding new music and making new friends.  There’s live music from Olivier DaySoul and the usual cut price/fully loaded, high fiving deejays.

Come down, if you’re local. Rumours abound of some crazy-assed fancy dress costumes (”just call me snake”) and what with the usual insane dancefloor antics and the friendliest crowd in the east there’s sure to be a lot of love in the room.

To celebrate here is an exclusive Ulysses82 edit fresh from my hard drive.

It’s been a great year!!

Ulysses82 -Easy to Find/Hard to Lose

It’s Ain’t it Black tonight at the vibey (but ever sketchy) Favela chic, Great Eastern St.

Expect the usual synth heavy 80s funk and electro selection from 7oel, Food Soundsystem and me and christophe.

I’m in a ‘wishing I was still on holiday’ kind of mood so just as well I’m on early (thinking a moody-downbeat-electro set could be in order)

It’s always a killer session and with a live set from Jason Jermaine this could be the one that takes it next level.

Sometimes we take a track and really funk it up, this is just case of cutting out the chaff. It’s obviously a classic funk track, but does it really need 2 and half minutes of guitar solo?

I thought not.

SLAVE-Slide (Ulysses 82 cut)

Best known for his excursions into the outer limits of scifi electronics and freaky remixes, Joseph Quaid returns this week with a mix highlighting the influences and aspirations of the firemusic sound. It’s a head-y brew of deep detroit flavoured soul and futuristic afro rhythms boding well not just for the deep range series as a whole, but for the ’soon come’ releases of this mighty (yet barely known) collective of musicians.

You can check the full mix here

As ever hl not only points you to the things we think you need, but gives you things you stuff you can’t get anywhere else.

Pitched up and transformed from down tempo head-nodder to leftfield dancefloor soul, here is quaid’s take on a Flying Lotus killer.
