A quick note to mention Hardcore Energy 7, which was released a little while back. Although I’m a bit behind the curve, I heartily recommend going for the 2xCD version as it has an excellent tune which, despite rocketing to the top of my playlist, won’t be available separately as an MP3…
Here’s a selection of what’s currently most played on my N900, which is listened to for at least 2 hours a day here. How representative it is of the tripe that I listen to is for you to decide.
2. Edvard Hill – Indeed I Am Very Glad To Be Back Home
4. Cliff Wedge – Go Go Yellow Screen
6. Wang Chung – Dance Hall Days (Extended 12″ Mix) [Why? It's miles worse than the 7"]
9. The Vengaboys Megamix by Nick Skitz
16. Journey – Don’t Stop Believin’
17. WVKEAF – Jump (12″ Edit) [The link is mislabelled]
Loads to say but not much time to do so, sadly. Most of my plans for this week have fallen through, mind you, so I might get the chance to exude some prose. In the meantime, here’s an excellent tune from a couple of years back which has been gracing the N900 a lot recently:
Dada Life – The Great Fashionista Swindle
This is the original mix – not the (worse) Laidback Luke mix that everyone claims is the original (but isn’t.)
As an aside, here’s what’s been keeping me up all night by rebounding around my head like a squash court:
Edward Hill – Indeed I Am Very Glad To Be Back Home
Aaaaarrgh!
A little late with these, but y’know – better late than never. Those rascals at Hardcore Lives! Records are at it again, and I’ve parried their latest nu-rave releases with my Photoshop sword.
First up is a clutch of traditional old-skool sounding rollers from 1st Science, called the Planet Insanity EP:
Then there’s a Hardcore Lives! new style – some dark J-Tek jungle-esque moods from John Browne. So, a new style of cover for this one:
As usual, they’re available to buy and download at Hardcore Lives! Records now.
I discovered this embarrassing-but-danceable slice on the Funky London podcast last week and it kept me humming all weekend. A pop-house rehash of Sash!’s ancient Mysterious Times replacing the original’s miserable overtones with a lot more fun. Maybe the 90s were worth something after all..
Sash! – Mysterious Times (Spencer & Hill remix)
