As it’s Glastonbury this weekend it means I don’t have a radio show to do. Someone in a similar position may regard this as a good opportunity to take a break, but for me it means I have a week’s worth of records I don’t know what to do with.
I guess this is where having a blog comes in handy.
I would have opened the show with Electric Wire Hustle – “Again (Scratch 22 remix)” which features on K7 records’ new DJ Kicks album, compiled by the Motor City Drum Ensemble. There are no two ways of putting this; it is deep house and normally the sort of thing I’d hate but it is frankly sexy as hell and it would have made for a great opener.

To show I wasn’t turning into a deep house kind of guy I would have then stuck on Maria and the Mirrors – “Travel Sex” to restore my cool. MATM are from East London and are very East London. I saw them play live a couple of years ago and they were awful, really awful; they looked interesting and weren’t. Their new EP, though, is really good; noisy as hell and the kind of thing I wish British bands would make more often, a welcome escape from indie schmindie windy. Listen to it here.
At the end I would have left you with “Sabbath Moon” by MsTrS, off their new album Acid Witch Mountain, a film score to a movie that doesn’t exist. It will leave you scared, while I jump into a cab to a fashionable East London venue that I won’t be let into.
