N.Y.E.


Today I have been assembling my team to take on New Year's Eve: a group of performers straight from the belly of Barcelona to entertain the masses who come CCCB way after they done finished they grapes.

Pig fans will need no introduction to the Meneo machine, and only those witnessing on the night will truly witness what this prince of parties & private parts has in store.  Joining me at the helm as we collide with the early-mid-20-teens will be indie upstarts The Goons from A Viva Veu, and for that feminine feel we welcome Ari Up, whose residency at Crocanti (RIP) knew no boundaries of style or amusement.

Tickets go on sale at Discos Paradiso this week.  Don't sleep!

It's no secret I'm partial to the odd cat.  Fortunately, I'm not partial to that  much cat in song, or mixtape for that matter, but the man like Nathan in Berlin has put me up on this choice Christmas mixtape for the 2010 until infinity.

Unmissable.

Make a beat with the man... Swindle.

Bare talent. Lolz

Let's Go Techno


Good things about techno: 

  1. It feels like you're in space
  2. It feels like your're in space in the future
  3. It's gender nonspecific
  4. You presumably don't have to worry about clearing samples
Bad things about techno:
  1. Your heroes could be asked to appear in photoshoots which could remind the casual onlooker of Limahl who sang the theme to 'The Never Ending Story'
I dug the first Booka Shade album, and here's a bass-heavy remix of a newish track of theirs for your downloading pleasure.

Thanks to all the massive inna Moog on Tuesday night, and an extra-especial lifetime's large-ups to the lad who tackled the shitehawk on the Ramblas who tried to make off with our wages.

Friday tuuuuuune

Two Friday tunes today (to make up for the last few weeks of drought). One old, one new.

First up comes courtesy of Steph Wells. Good call Blondie!

Uncanny Alliance - I Got My Education



This one's to celebrate returning to London. This tune is as London as they come right now. It's a London ting....

Katy B ft Miss Dynamite - Lights On

James Blake - Limit to your Love

Yeah I know we've been here. But this video is the best I've seen in ages and further cements James Blake as a king of 2010 and one who's going to pop (in a good way!). This is a tune, equaled by CMYK in my eyes, but that's just me.

Hello London! First up. Cubic Zirconia.

We arrived safely in London. No time to stop though...

FACT have dropped the new remix package. Gems in there from Ikonika, Waajeed, Dam-Funk and Egyptrixx. It's firin'.

They play London tonight at Plan B (26/11), tomorrow in Dublin (27/11), Glasgow on Sunday (28/11) then a LIVE smash at Hoxton Bar & Grill on Wednesday Dec 1st. Come out to play.

Is Everyone Up On This?


Just because it isn't summer any no more doesn't mean we necessarily have to stop listening to John Talabot.  Here he reworks French island-hoppers Tahiti 80 (pictured) in the same laid back house style that we're all growing to know and love and spin when we're all up in the after, if I haven't passed out in the hammock already.  What a night.

Visual/Aural Inspiration


I am not ashamed to say I missed all this the first time around.  On my jollies this weekend I had the time to peep a good chunk of the first series and I am hooked.  Nobody tell me what happens please.

Reminded me of this joint that had been hidden away at the back of the crate, for obvious reasons, that had been hidden away at the back of the crate for some time now.  I'm sure you'll enjoy coming in your ears.  You might enjoy how this lad flips it, or this other guy remakes the thing.  All good.

Food In Barcelona


One of my close personal homeboys from Sheffield has a serious food blog on the go and, well-travelled soul that he is, has documented his international dinings in a blog of his called The Gannet.  He looks at Barcelona in this most recent post.  It's better researched and tested than the majority of tourist guides and has managed to include many delights that only locals would be up on.  Peep it.

The Steward Selection - Pariah 'Detroit Falls'

Every so often us bloggers need the Steward to step in and warn of any over hyping issues. We have been warned of doing TEED to many good turns.

To counter that the Steward will make a completely new suggestion for music we should be talking about and has yet not featured on the blog.

In this case it's Pariah's 'Detroit Falls' on the mighty R&S. And they say the shit doesn't go down in Belgium, pah! This reminds me of Dilla, it's a really tasty number.

The Steward will be making a suggestion a week until we are back on track! Thanks Trev!

Barbra Streisand - DUCK SAUCE!

Props to Toddla T for link...

Duck Sauce "Barbra Streisand" from Mr Goldbar on Vimeo.

Duck Sauce, the eminent producer duo comprised of A-Trak and Armand Van Helden, are primed to drop their second official single, “Barbra Streisand” on October 12th. If 3 million YouTube views of last year’s debut “aNYway” are any indicator, the official release of “Barbra Streisand” will be met with rabid anticipation as fan-recorded bootlegs have fueled blog excitement all summer.

"Barbra Streisand" continues to perfect the Duck Sauce sound, which joyously mashes classic disco house with forward-thinking dancefloor energy and expert production. A-Trak and AVH are bona fide DJ heroes whose team-ups are fueled by anything-goes samples, an almost childlike sense of fun, and 100% NYC attitude. This approach has made Duck Sauce fans-for-life out of partygoers around the globe, and will continue to convert anyone within earshot of "Barbra"'s instantly addictive, whistling hook.

Tropics - Soft Vision E.P (Planet Mu)

Last of the morning. This was brought to my attention by the guys at Planet Mu. Tropics are new to them and this is just beautiful. Part of their new EP. Out OCTOBER 4th!



The man behind 'Tropics' is Chris Ward. He’s a 22 year old Brit taking influences from 70's jams, post-punk and whatever else he taped in his youth, bringing us the radiant sounds of dreamy, summer nostalgia.

His music has already caught the attention of Pitchfork and XLR8R who have posted up tracks by him, as well as a number of bands including Little Dragon who he has remixed.

His music is an utterly gorgeous slow motion mix that sounds like sustained euphoria, such as lead track "Give It Up’s" slow motion chugging disco with ghostly female vocals and chiming bell-like melodies.

"Melorr" is even slower; grinding gently under the weight of its own airy compression, building more and more elements into the mix as the track evolves: voices, electric guitar and ghostly wisps of melody.

"Soft Vision" is the one that has got Tropics the attention, with its lush 80’s production inspired sound. It sounds like it’s in 3d, with huge waves of synths that shimmer and ooze through the track as it subtly grooves along to a the kind of drums which wouldn’t sound out of place in 80’s stadium pop.

Swindle - My Playground E.P (RWINA)

Long Overdue Food Post

Menus del dia in Barna promise much and often deliver at least enough to fill you up until 8pm, or whenever hardworking office types finish in Spain.  Quality and variety are another story, however, especially in the less-than-a-tenner bracket.  I have to say that there isn't any resto serving Mediterranean stuffs that I could wholeheartedly recommend to a discerning friend or well-wisher.


In any city, no matter how long you are there, gems remain to be discovered.  This has been the case with today's outing to Gracia and Sureny.  Sitting in the corner of Pl. Revolució at the bottom of C/Verdi, this spot came recommended by a couple with a sensitive set of tastebuds, having lived in Paris and all.


I stepped all up in the square and spotted the spot.  A pair of pairs occupying a pair of chairs but plenty of room nevertheless.  Met with pals and sat down.


Still enjoying the late summer sun, we went for white wines all round.  Verdejo.  Nice one.  Starters: Mini butterbeans with salt cod and tomatoes (not pictured), feta, peach and mixed-leaf salad.  All light, flavoursome, not too much nor little.


This was all still getting polished off when seconds appear.  I'm not too uptight so no pasa nada.  Good thick bonito steak on slow cooked courgette, leek and mushroom.  Breaded deep-fried brie with red fruit compote and fresh tomato side for the vegetarians.


Desserts all sounded good to, so we went for one of each.  Cheesecake, thick chocolate mousse with generous manderine head or blackberry terrine.  Everyone wanting to try everyone's last morsels.


The single best value dinner I've had in five years in Barna.  €9.99 each, and they nearly undercharged us.  Get stuck in.
