0 comments
 

The Big Beat Reunion Part 2 is not far off now and I've been wondering what to play. Were on before Hip Hop Karaoke with Jadell so were going to roll with an old skool hip hop, ninja tune, big beat esq vibe which means a heck of a lot of crate digging on my part as I havent played these tunes in years.

But thanksfully to jog my memeory on what to play I've been listening to the classic FSUK compilations from the likes of Bentley Rhythm Ace, Freestylers, Derek Dahlarge and of course Cut La Roc and there all bloody briliant still, well worth tracking down if you havent heard them before.

But whats this... the kind folk over at Reject Beats, who are putting on the Big Beat Reunion Night, have been able to give away CD 1, with CD 2 coming soon, of the classic Cut La Roc FSUK mix :)

03 - Ozomatli - Cut Chemist Suite
04 - The Commodores - Brick House
05 - Sir Drew - Screamin' Skull
06 - Ultramagnetic MC's - Give The Drummer Some
07 - Zapp - More Bounce To The Ounce

11 - Bootsy Collins - Party Lick-A-Bie's (Norman Cook Club Mix)

SWU Mega Rave | Weatherall Special | Download

0 comments
 

The Major... The Chairman... Lord Sabre... Audrey Witherspoon.

Shifting identities almost as easily as he shifts sounds, Andrew Weatherall has slipped through the shadows of the music world over the past two decades like a masked marauder, leaving his mark on all he passes by.

As a remixer he has enhanced – or just as often twisted beyond recognition – a motley crew of musical freaks, kooks and wronguns too numerous to mention.

Any attempt to provide a truly representative sample of his remixing work would quickly sprawl beyond recognition, but here is a very personal choice of some of his key moments, highlighting particular themes that have run throughout his careering career.

Recorded by Richie Rundle in a conservatory in leafy surburbia and broadcast on SWU Radio by Ben and Lex

01. My Bloody Valentine 'Soon (Andrew Weatherall mix)'
02. Love Corporation 'Give Me Some Love (Andrew Weatherall mix)'
03. Airstream 'Follow Through (Nine o’clock Drop mix)'
04. Happy Mondays 'Halleujah (Club mix)'
05. Primal Scream 'Loaded'
06. Sabres of Paradise 'Edie 6'
07. Bomb the Bass 'Dark Heart (Sabres mix)'
08. Galliano 'Skunk Funk (Cabin Fever mix)'
09. Doves 'Compulsion (Andrew Weatherall mix)'
10. Grinderman 'Heathen Child (Andrew Weatherall mix)'
11. Tim Fairplay 'U Know U Jack (Andrew Weatherall mix)'
12. Radikal Majik 'Direk Action (Andrew Weatherall mix)'
13. Le Sarge en Board 'Through The Robot Chicken Shed (Andrew Weatherall mix)'
14. Stereo Mcs 'Everything (Sabres mix)'
15. Fuck Buttons 'Sweet Love For Planet Earth (Andrew Weatherall mix)'
16. Deanne Day 'Honk'
17. Fuck Buttons 'Surf Solar'

What a busy week at Ape Towers and Ben & Lex HQ... After last Fridays amazing STANDOUT gig, we carried on with some midweek rave action in the form of 2 killer gigs with the mighty Krafty Kuts who, in the down time in between them, joined Lex in the studio for the making of some 'monster cheeky beatz' as the man like Krafty would say... watch this space for its release some time in the near future.

Not content with just the one collaboration for the week we were joined on Friday for a marathon late night studio session by the heavyweight sounds of the Afghan Headspin and thrashed out a blinding bit of bad boy bass music!!!!

Keep an eye on the Beatz and Bobz Show on NSB Radio for exclusive plays of these collabs in the near future.
