Our DJ’s hols may finally be over…

Ok, up. We can be right lazy. Hence our lack of action here. But we’re on it again…

Looks like we’re finally back in the game too. Made up to be spinnin’ in ‘ around Notts tahn again.

Next up’s our resi slots at Golden Fleece on Saturday 18th December ’21 then The Angel Microbrewery on Saturday 15th January ’22. Catch us on 3rd Saturday every month. Alt slots monthly into ’22.

We’ve also had a grand time spinning at The Bodega too. Got an irregular resi there too. Nice to mix things up.

We’re still spinning for our Barrel House Radio mukkas. Every other Saturday night, 8-9pm. Been a year long ride so far. Grand to be part of the BHR fam.

Still in very serious times, people. Who know’s where we’re going. Please stay safe. folks.

Last one. Here’s a juicy taste of what we’ve dropped these past months…

Radio, Radio…

Hope y’all staying safe.

Cheese ‘n bread. Fookin’ year, this one. Never-ending it seems. The Guvn’r knew. Git. RIP.

Must admit we’ve been struggling with it. One big pish ‘n shite bank holiday vibe. Gotta keep plugging away, tho’. We’ll get there. Eventually.

Here’s something. Cheeky wee plug for our latest collaboration. Made up to have been asked to join the BarrelHouse Radio fam. New online station leaning lots towards all strands of sweet soul. Goes a bit wider too – electronica, jazz, nu-disco, roots reggae ‘n more.

We’re popping our online radio cherry at 9pm on Saturday 28th November. Expect saucy disco ‘n edits. Lock in. Can’t make it? Jump to Mixcloud where we’ll share all our shows very soon after the broadcast. Stuck a few recent mixes below. Take your pick.

Gaggin’ for that time when we can all do the same old cobblers. Shouldn’t taken so much for granted before. Funny, that.

Look after your loved ones ‘n yourselves.

We’re back. For a bit.

Thought we bung down some lines. Must tighten up that slack.

What we been up to? All sorts for sure. DJ gigs at various places including our usual resi at The Angel Microbrewery, some great sessions at Broadway Cinema, The Golden Fleece and others besides.

Recent standouts were a massive Notts Pride ’18 in July (3 slots that day!) and two fundraising sessions in June for Framework – The Get Down with NG83 crew and The Big Spin arranged by Synthetic Pro Audio fellas. Fantastic to be part of all those special bashes.

Also been to some crackin’ gigs in the last few months. Bonobo at Ally Pally, London and A Certain Ratio at Hare and Hounds, Brum. Yep, A Certain Ratio. Both were amazing for very different reasons. Still buzzin’ from those…

Got some long overdue downtime time coming up but we’ll shoehorn our August Angel resi sesh in before that. We’ll be back there in early September too.  We’re also doing a tight dub ‘n reggae slot at the special Punk It Up Rock Against Racism event on September 15th at Rough Trade Nottingham. Really looking forward to that one. Gonna be special, we reckon.

That’s it. Social’s where we make our real noise day in, day out. More fun too. Join us there for a right old chin wag if you fancy.

‘Til next time…

2018’s landed with a bang. Kind of.

What a bleedin’ year 2017 was, eh!?! Pretty fuk’d up in some ways but fantastic in others.

Some cracking big gigs – LCD Soundsystem at Ally Pally, London. Kraftwerk and Nick Cave, both here right in Notts. All amazing experiences. Not forgetting the mighty Don Letts on rockin’ the ones ‘n twos at Rough Trade too.

Been playing out a few times since we last touched this. Our usual resi at The Angel Microbrewery, Broadway, SoBar and The Lord Roberts to name a few. Pix ‘n blurb are up across our usual social gubbins. You know just where to look.

Gonna be bunkering in for January. Back out spinnin’ for our first resi sesh of 2018 at The Angel Microbrewery on Friday 2nd February. We’ll keep dropping sweet nuggets on the first Friday of every month. Grand. Thanks to Ben and Steve for having us back. Obliged.

We’re also made up to be part of a very special Selectadisc celebration on Sunday 11th February. Site of that legendary record emporium is now home to Ugly Bread Bakery. UBB crew have wanted to pay homage to Selectadisc for ages and now it’s happening. There’ll be DJs doing their thing in tight 30 mins’ mini-slots, vinyl ‘n merch for sale and plenty of food ‘n drink. We’ll be spinning post-punk wax from 1.30 ’til 2pm. Join us.

We’ll be DJ’g again at The Lord Roberts sometime in February too. Hoping to make that a regular thing. More info to come, folks.

Don’t forget, you can get a cheeky taste of our sessions at
Mixcloud.com. We’re also dropping mixtapes over at Evermix.fm as well.

That’s it. Take it easy. Hope to see ya’s very soon.
