Good morning! Sorry but there's no live stream this morning, away on family duties but here's a special one... This is a mix I did with grafitti artist Aroe back in 2008, absolutely jam packed with classic Golden Era Hip Hop from the city of Philadelphia. Loads of rarities, mash ups, special mixes and outright bangers! Hosted by Philly legends The Tuff Crew. Super proud of the work we did on this, we put many, many hours into the production, remixing many of the tracks. No track listing but you can find it online if you dig, we innitially had a competition to name all the tracks, long since past. Hope you enjoy! As ever, on podcast apps, RSS feeders and the free and open internet. Which is a long way of saying not on Spotify (Daniel Elk isn't a real elk. Fuck him). Aroe & The Soundmakers - The Wreckshop 2008 Sleeping Giant Records.

I've been whispering about this a little but I can now safely say this is forthcoming on Warp Records with On U Sound - Nightmares On Wax x Adrian Sherwood - In A Space Outta Dub. Some heavy players on this, icluding Doug Wimbish and Alex White and a somewhat less illustrious me on engineer/programming duties. Bit of a moment as the early NoW tracks Nitrous, Aftermath, I'm For Real etc. and first few Warp releases impacted me massively as a kid and I got a chance to thank Mr Ease personally for shaping my brain with drum machines and Think breaks. Nice. Pre-orders on Bandcamp now...

Was talking to my other half about social media, she mentioned tgat new fangled Tik Tok competitor, saying people were switching… anyway, I made my point about it being some next BS that will just enshittify and the answer is protocols > platforms to which she retorted “Yeah but I like stuff that actually works”. I had nothing after that. 😂
