The Tuss

Popped into Reform Records on my way home yesterday and was given a copy of The Tuss 'Rushup Edge' on Rephlex and after a bit of searching on the internet i discover this...

Probably not quite the best kept secret in electronic music after all, it seems that those rumours have all but been confirmed - what you have in front of you here is quite possibly a brand new album from Richard D James, this time under his latest incarnation - "The Tuss".

Yes, for all intents and purposes this is the new Aphex Twin album we all thought we'd have to wait some years for, all brand new material with some "mysterious" contributors (Drexciyan DJ Stingray aka Sherard Ingram among others, apparently) to keep you on your toes.

NEW APHEX TWIN!!!!!!!! oh yes indeed.

Annoyingly I haven't had a chance to have a listen to it yet but it's going to go straight onto my record player as soon as I get home.

Midsumer Nights Dream

Now I know its sold out (well theres 50 tickets held on the door) but I thought I'd let you all know what I'm up to this weekend...




After catching both Radioactive Man and Freq Nasty last weekend I know for a fact that this is going to be heavy.

Im Back

What a weekend. so muddy and yet so much fun. I must of fell over so many times and got covered in mud, yet it didn't matter as yet again Glastonbury proves why it is the grand daddy of all festivals.

Didn't catch as many acts as I wanted but I did see Bloc Party, The Bees, Chas N Dave, Shitmat, Vex'd, Radioactive Man, Freqnasty and a whole bunch more that I've forgotten..

Below are 3 videos from the most amazing Drum & Bass set I've ever heard. Andy C is the man.

The only downer was that it took me pretty much 24 hours to get all my clothes mud free.

The Tallis Scholars

It's my last evening in Exeter, before I head of to the Glastonbury Festival, so Becky is taking me out to see the Tallis Scholars.

The Tallis Scholars have established themselves as leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music through world-class recordings and concert performances. Their exploration of the depth and variety of this repertoire has reached a world-wide audience. Peter Phillips has worked with the ensemble to create, through good tuning and blend, the purity and clarity of sound which he feels best serves the Renaissance repertoire, allowing every detail of the musical lines to be heard. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which The Tallis Scholars have become renowned.

Should be interesting but to be honest my mind is on the weekend, but hopefully I can calm my excitement and enjoy it.

If I get time before I head off tomorrow I'll post up a review. If not and your going to Glastonbury come along and see me and Lex DJ'ing on the G-Stage 12-1 on Friday.
