    Of relevance to anyone who still buys music in it’s physical format…
New ace 7” leather record boxes by TukTuk; available in 5 different colours ash blue, black, brown, red and yellow, with individual fabric lining for each leather colour. Being as indecisive as ever, I’ve gone and treated myself to two.
Theses are retailing for 55 quid and available from TukTuk now, and Juno Records as of next week.
Plug over.

    The Beatles - Blackbird (remix by Banzai Republic)
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 73 plays

    Big fan of Denmark’s Music For Dreams over the past 10 years (as I am sure Kevin will testify), accumulating pretty much everything they’ve ever put out. Here’s a remix from one of their artists, Banzai Republic, a super limited, super super white label 12” that never got an *official* release.

    Thundercat - $200 TB (prod.Flying Lotus ft. Austin Peralta)
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 89,040 plays

    Here’s a list of everything I love about this:

    • Tight bass
    • Warm keys
    • Cover art
    • Future noises
    • Imagining a smoke-filled jazz bar filled with cartoon musicians…
    • *Puts down jazz fag, steps away from cyberspace.*

    Willis Jackson - Nuther'n like Thuther'n
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 131 plays

    There’s good, there’s really good, and then there’s this by Willis Jackson. Jazz-dancer dynamite that makes you want to show that dance floor who’s boss.

    Os Mutantes - A Minha Menina
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 0 plays

    Monday morning earworm. Not complaining though.

    First Choice vs Lovebirds - Lovebird Lovethang (Jamie Bull Mash-up Re-edit)
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 7,586 plays

    I’m (Pieter) going up to Manchester tomorrow for The Warehouse Project. Definitely, for me, the best line-up of the year put together by Simian Mobile Disco - Chic, Jeff Mills, Feel My Bicep, Cutloose, & among others friend of the blog Will Tramp!

    I was struggling to think of a track to sum-it-all-up when I remembered this gem from Jamie Bull. Hope you enjoy, if you’re there - see you at the front!

    Lindstrøm - De Javu
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 1,248 plays

    Lindstrom’s back! And with an ending that’s sure to be the cause of many a suddenly quiet bar/club and panicked DJ.

    Too Rooms - Southern A.M.
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 61 plays

    Another nice and mellow deep house track from Japan. Limited to 500 copies, this was released back in 2007 on Flower Records. It would seem that this is the only track Too Rooms have ever released. They should do more.

    Coke Escovedo - I Wouldn't Change a Thing
    [Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] 120 plays

    Was having a rummage through my 7”s at the weekend and digged this out. Used to play this to death down at BFF; had forgotten how ace it is. Enjoy.
