DJ Set Uploaded: Drain Club, 20091011
Recorded in the Second Life Club space "Drain" on Sunday 11/10/2009. Towards the end of the set the region was getting rather full and it started to crash which will explain my slight interruption over the later Jon Hopkins track. Apart from that it was a great night and it's wonderful to be back DJing in Second Life. :) Big thanks to Tallim, Coggy & Lanne and thanks to everyone for coming down. :) Tracklisting:

This is my set from Big Chill FM at this years Big Chill Eastnor Castle Festival ( www.bigchill.net ). Originally broadcast live from 10am to 12pm on Sunday August 9th, 2009, it starts out ambient and gradually more and more beats are added in - there was a little problem with the mic level at the beginning (it's probably for the best) but it gets sorted out about 30mins in. With huge thanks to the wonderful and eminently huggable Paul Noble ( www.paulnoble.co.uk ) for sorting out the recording for me and big love to all the Big Chill radio crew for having me.

Firstly: due to "planned maintenance" I won't be able to do my show next week (and maybe for the next two weeks after that, but we'll take them as they come). It's all good - we're replacing the floor in our studio/office - but it does mean that the everything will need to be taken down and packed away while this happens. Secondly, some free music: this weeks show features music by Halogen and Iambic and you can get these EP/LPs for free just by visiting this link to the Maternity Ward Website. And if you want some more (and you will) you can download some more Halogen tracks from here. Dig in. :) Massive thanks to the wonderfully sparkling Mixmaster Morris for those tips and links. Thirdly, I've been booked to VJ at the Big Chill Festival this year! Yay! :) Anyway here's this weeks...

Fridge - Drum Machines and Glockenspiels Iambic - Transitions Yimino - Squeeze Me Halogen - Not The Remix Groove Armada - My Friend Fink - Blueberry Pancakes Florence and the machine - Kiss with a fist The Bird and the Bee - Polite Dance Song D'Nell - This Thing Benga & Coki - Night Fever Ray - Coconut Sounds From The Ground - Elemental Jon Hopkins - Insides Infinite Scale - Liquid Scope Yimino - Ze Ka Fridge - Cutup Piano and Xylophone Fink - Little Blue Mailbox

Mach V @ drain.club: 20090513
Thanks to Talim Lilliehook I played at the Second Life Venue "drain.club" on Thursday for the first time and, despite the very easily drinkable Guinness I managed to put quite a nice set together, so I'd thought it would be only fair if I shared it with you. Pictures are with thanks to Lanne Wise and Souum Cortes.

It's been a bit of a quiet week, this week: I've been mostly locked away in a room with 11 of my peers as I do my up standing citizen's duty as a Jury Member for the next couple of weeks. Dom and I did visit Blissfield's recording studio in deep and dark West London to record a podcast to talk about Echaskech's forthcoming appearance at their festival. I'm not too sure when it'll be aired but if I find out, I'll let you know. Here's this week's...

Mach V @ Back to Mine, May Day Music 20090501
As it was glorious May 1st - a day where socialists and pagans both bond over the beauties of spring - it seemed right to start this show with some revolutionary music and The 180Gs version of Negativeland's 'Christianity is Stupid" seemed a great place to start. Like my own revolutionary tendencies, the theme does peter out rather quickly but I do wish you all a happy International Workers Day. :) A quick note about Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova who I was introduced to the night before though the magical film "Once". The missus and I were quite stumped by the arrival of this in our Love Film selection as neither of us remember putting it on our list and the description of it being "a Modern Musical" didn't really fill us with confindence, but oh my; what a wonderous movie.
The story revolves around an Irish Busker (played by Glen Hansard) and a Cech immigrant (Marketa Irglova) who bond over their mutual love of music and their relationship that springs around it. It's not really a musical but it is a film about music and how synergy plays a huge role in how musicians get together - the first moment when Glen and Marketa play together gave me goosebumps - and its the amazing music and the magic that happens between Glen and Marketa when they perform which is the real star of the show, here. Straight after the movie finished I was on the internet looking for the OST and thanks to emusic we now have The Swell Season, the recording that came out of the back of that LP.
Anyway - go get the movie. It's lovely. :)
Here's the Track Listing:
180 G's - Christianity is Stupid The Who - We Won't Get Fooled Again Thee Hypnotics - Revolution Stoned Dan le Sac vs Scroobius Pip - Thou Shalt Always Kill The Doors - Indian Summer Wisp - Shep Shaep Sheep Arovane - Good bye forever Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova - Falling Slowly Horse Feathers - Curs in the weeds Bowerbirds - The Marbled Godwit Bon Iver - The Park (Live) Bodof Songs - I can't see a thing in here Origamibiro - Noshi The Accidental - The Closer I Am Fever Ray - I'm Not Done The Beaufort Scale - Boej Kashmet Inceptdate - seasons School of Seven Bells - Wired For Light Transient - Class Transient - downtime Bonobo - Nightlife

Mach V @ Back To Mine, 10th April, 2009
It's been a great week for Back To Mine. I finished off building the new deck area so we have a new oustide space to play tunes, dance and chill together, and we were also joined by two new resident selectors: Second Life electronica genius and resident alien, from Albany, NY: Transient Zeluco and new to Second Life, from Ontario, Canada: Alexian Jupiter. Both will be enriching the Mine with their music collections and not only that, long time BTM resident and long time Second Life DJing partner of mine, Sagesse Sautereau came back to play some excellent tunes after me on Friday.
WARNING! Before you start to listen to this, please be aware that the first part of this mix features two very long and rather self indulgent King Crimson tracks that might only appeal to some of you! If that might be the case, may I suggest that you fast forward to 19:00 and start listening from there. The rest and noble few of you who like a bit of prog in your lives: more power to you: "Whallay". If you decide to dive headlong in and don't like what you hear, well you've only got yourselves to blame; I did try to warn you... ;)

A slightly shorter show this week, due to some technical difficulties with our router and setting up the stream, and sadly there's a bit of distortion on the recording, which I didn't notice until right of the end of the set - you might want to take some bass off when listening to it. I hope it doesn't distract too much from the recording. The opening track - the new Tunng single from need no water records - has taken me a while to get into but, after seeing them live with Tinariwen last week I'm in love with it. I'll try to remember to play the Soy un Caballo version next week for you. Mucho thanks to Mixmaster Morris for the Animal Hospital track "Memory", off the LP "You Are There" which, along with the Fever Ray eponymous release and the reissue of the School of Seven Bells Album, "Alpinisms" have been making my musical world a far better place, this month.
