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.

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

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 our myspace together (ish). You can check us at

http://www.myspace.com/ulysses82

And while we’re on the subject of linkage, take a look a ‘Those City Nights’ which features a peerless selection of heavy electro and indepth features like this one on one time Prince associate Andre Cymone.

Puts less thorough blogs to shame.

 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 of an old friend who’s back after an extended hiatus. Plenty edit soon come.

Empress – ‘Dyin’ To Be Dancin’ [edit par ULYSSES82]    

More details here

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 step too far, even for him.

The meeting went from bad to worse with christophe detailing his idea of turn the deejay booth in a ‘hot tub with waterproofed dj equipment’, complete with two scantily clad ‘towel girls’ to be ‘on hand’ at all times.

Chrisophe didn’t help his case by refusing to take off his shades and by insisting on talking in a barely audible whisper (and fake texan accent) and by wearing a ‘wildly inappropriate’ apache indian costume.

At this time the management have decided to decline all requests ‘with extreme prejudice’.

Time to play hardball.

Komiko-Feel Alright (U82 dub)

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 year is always a good time to make some changes. We’re playing from 9-2. The usual selection of synth heavy 80’s funk and boogie, with a good few curve balls thrown in there just for kicks.

Here’s one we prepared earlier.

Prince-We Can Work it Out (edit)

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 and counting. The peckerheads.

What’s certainly clear is that however accomplished my multi-tasking is, it didn’t stretch to posting as well. However, this does mean that there’s now a glut of ULYSSES82 re-edits in the pipeline, watch this space over the coming few days/weeks as I get round to sticking them up.

Tomorrow Jaksoul et moi will be suiting up and spinning the wheels of steel at The Elbow Room in Shoreditch. I for one can’t wait – my recordbox is stocked like a frickin Trout Pond. If you fancy joining us, we’d love to see you.

Here’s one to share, again on the ‘it’s a classic but I never play it out so I’ve re-jigged it so’s that I do’ theme. Phew.

Have a great weekend
Christoph

gwen mccrae-keep the fire burning (ulysses 82 cut)

huge.

It’s all on tape-to start with this is the early doors section, mixing it up in a axelrod/dabrye/carlcraig/quaid/blacksheep/premo sort of way.

It’s all winner-all the time (the basilika way)

enjoy your weekend.
