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.

Bringing the cheap heat since 1982.

AIB’s First Birthday

admin — Tue, 02 Dec 2008 17:47:20 +0000

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!!

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.

Quaid in Full

jaksoul — Tue, 22 Apr 2008 14:36:26 +0000

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.

File under ‘exclusive’.

Twin Hype

When you are as singular in your approach to a certain kind of groove as we are at basilika towers, there is a danger that the cut ends up going too deep, too dubbed out. That in trying to highlight the ‘good stuff’ you end not leaving enough room for a track to breathe. The magnificent Danny Krivit has certain golden rules concerning edits, one of which is to ensure to leave enough contrast and variety within a track as it’s sometimes the lack of a groove that gives a track the highs and lows to make it a classic.

Of course I ignored all that with this cut.

It’s all the bass and synth and dubbed out fx with everything else left on the side.

(at least I’m consistent)

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.

and I’m just gettin warm.

It’s nearly 3am. This is sounding just about right.

The ink’s still wet, enjoy.

Bring that Beat Back

jaksoul — Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:50:17 +0000

There are a million mp3blogs out there. 95% are way too caught up with following hype machine to have much to say and being crazy into music myself it can be hard finding anything in the other 5% that isn’t either wayway too niche or stuff you already know.

It’s this scarcity of quality that makes finding blogs such as beat electric such a joy. And whilst the same could certainly be said for any of the blogs in our sidebar, San Frans finest purveyors of boogie, disco and lazer soul deserve a special mention on the sheer consistency of their back catalogue alone.

So ‘go get some people’.

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.
