Acid Soul 11

The first instalment of Acid Soul for 2014. As ever it's not just about the new but features a few of my favourite tracks from 2013 (with a couple of guilty pleasures thrown in for good measure too). Download the 320k via SoundCloud and get the timecoded playlist via Mixcloud - this is the first mix I've uploaded to Mixcloud so follow me over there too if you fancy!

A Guy Called Gerald - Specific Hate

And talking of Manchester. I noticed that you can grab hold of this A Guy Called Gerald gem from 1989 for peanuts via Discogs second hand sellers http://tinyurl.com/owjvbx3. This was on the flip side of Gerald's first major label release and is a reworking of 808 States 'Pacific State', a track Gerald co-wrote (without credit) so he made this version to let the world know exactly what he thought of his former bandmates!

Played by a diverse set of DJ's at the time including Weatherall, Sasha, Grooverider & Laurent Garnier it still sounds great today.

Ewan Pearson live at Stattbad Wedding, Berlin

A 2 hour masterclass from Ewan Pearson (can't wait for the second part of the set). Unfortunately not downloadable but bookmark it and come back for repeated pleasure!

Cottam - Ubuntu EP

Cottam delivers he's strongest EP yet. Ire Works & Scientific Re-Imagined particularly hit the spot for me.

Another raw soulful production from Stevie Kotey that nails that vintage detroit sound. So very good indeed!

Chris Duckenfield - Electric Elephant 2012

Chris Duckenfield's Electric Elephant set opens with intent with Kenny Hawkes ace edit of Good Life and doen't let go for just over an hour of jackin'/disco/funkin' tech infused goodness - NSFW...  :)

Delirious Influences part 2

One of the things that made the UK stand out in the late eighties was our ability to not be ruled be restrictive "genre walls"; call it the original Balearic spirit if you will. This second installment of Delirious Influences attempts to capture some of that musical diversity with a selection born out of Chicago, Detroit, New York, Miami, Manchester, Sheffield, London and of course San Rafael in Ibiza.

House, Techno, Garage, Nu Wave, Acid, Tribal, Miami Deep, Breakbeat - good memories ensured for those who should know better and a great musical journey for those new to some of these tracks.
