Christophe and I are down at favela chic tomorrow-glance to the right-.It’s gonna be a serious selection of synths, electro, vocoders and air bass classics
Was amazing last time-formation dancing/killer tunes/really freaky crowd.
As ever it will be the ulysses 82 exclusives we will be most excited about playing.
Here’s one from last time.

We’re slowly getting […]

 
 Christoph has a cold.
I need to pull it together though, as I’m DJing tonight alongside Jaksoul @ AINT IT BLACK 7-1am, Favela Chic. It’s a night I/we’ve been hyped about for a while now, an although I feel like I’m underwater right now, I’m still looking forward to it. For now, here’s a little nice up for ya, courtesy […]

It’s gonna be the freakin bomb.
And just so that you know we’re serious.
deele-bodytalk (u82 know the deele-yo dub)

Contract negotiations got off to a rocky start this weekend with the bar’s management accusing christophe le funk of ‘pulling a j-lo’ after initial requests for boxing-style introductions upon entering the venue were rejected out of hand. Turning up to the meeting wearing his paper mache ’superfly-weight’ champion of the world belt was probably the […]

Could be our last gig at the elbows for a while, (depending on how those pay negotiations turn out-I think christophe asking for his own personal ‘talc dwarf’ might be the rider request too far). Which would (kinda) be a shame cause they have really started to warm up in recent months. Oh well, new […]

So here’s a little edit to warm your weekend.
It’s been a rediculously busy couple of months.We’ve taken in stag do’s, house moves, DJ tours (more on that soon), weddings and the monumental incompetance of Messers B & T, who have managed to leave me without te Internets for a month […]

Loads of newness just round the corner at basilika-with a whole slew of new edits and cuts to come before christmas.
Basilika saturday was another epic session, complete with mad musically eclectisim, a hardcore soulboy dance crew and a posse of london’s hottest young ladies.
huge.
It’s all on tape-to start with this is the early doors section, […]

Sorry for the slack posting and generally balls-upery on basilika recently. Moving servers turned into a freakin ‘mare and it’s only now, almost two weeks later that things are starting to return to normal.
All of our trax need to be re-upped at some point and there’s probably a good few kinks still to be ironed […]

I was fortunate enough to see Theo Parrish at Plastic People last night.
Suffice to say it was an incredible night; quite simply one of the world’s best djs at the top of his game playing on the best soundsystem in London. Musically it spanned a massive variety of black musical forms from disco-through jazz, hiphop […]

Hustles of Culture-Flipjack

This track could also be a 3rd floor classic-it’s got the heavy drums, the upbeat jazzy break, the early 90’s vintage.It reminds me of a time when I could listen to tracks without instantly trying to pigeonhole them (probably because it didn’t know enough about music to be able to). We used check […]
