I have always loved the sound of a spanish guitar since i was young …
Here are three great uses of one , first up balearic rockers Mountain of One with the superb track Ride from their first EP … here a spanish guitar and an electric guitar battle it out in the sky on a beach in Ibiza
Next super producer Trentemoller remixs the Djumma soundsystem … I can’t stress the awesomeness of this one .. Trentemollers production is nothing short of breathtaking .. the morphing of guitar into synthesisor and back again .. with a distinctively arabic twist … genius … one of my favourite tracks ever
Finally Krafty Kuts serves up a slice of Flamenco breakbeat …………

Soundtrack to The End of the World
Posted in Uncategorized on February 15, 2010 by steelrat38
“The band is perhaps best known for their lengthy instrumental songs and large membership. With nine semi-permanent members, they create prolonged tracks which utilize short movements, wide volume changes, and numerous recorded and sampled sounds. Studio albums typically contain no more than five songs, and often omit the band’s name and track titles from the cover and artwork. “
Canadian Post Rockers – Godspeed you Black Emperor , provided us with a soundtrack for the end of the world in their 1997 release simply entitled F♯A♯∞
It has only three tracks ,,, heres the first one for you … not everyones thing .. but if you like it .. i totally recommend you buy the album … one of the most evocative intelligent and thought provoking pieces of music I ever heard …….

Lost Property from A Wasted Youth
Posted in Uncategorized on February 8, 2010 by steelrat38
Back in the dark days of the troubles in Northern Ireland .. in the early eighties … there was a club in an old ballroom … called the Plaza ..
It was bring your own … was as rough and ready as could be and was full of a mixture of Belfasts underground nightlife .. goths, punks , mods , new romantics , disco kids and the boystown gang
It was here that I first heard all of the music that led me into being a DJ … it was here i first heard Bauhaus, The Smiths, Sisters of Mercy , Cocteau Twins, Talking Heads , Magazine , The Doors, Joy Division , New Order, Electro , Disco, Hip Hop, Nina Simone …………. all the really good stuff …
In the few years before it closed it would also have been where I first heard early House Music …………
It was absolutely brilliant .. I cannot describe what it was like when i first walked into that place and was blown away by the style of the people and the dark sleazy edge it all had .. i felt like i had discovered another world .. away from suburban boredom and the dark depressing news of the troubles …
I was hooked instantly and have never looked back …
For anyone else reading this who was there … theres an ace facebook group over at

What we Have To Do Right Here Is Go Back
Posted in Uncategorized on January 31, 2010 by steelrat38
If you wanted to hear house music in the London scene in 1986-87, then your best bet was to head to Delirium on the Charing Cross Road. And if you were looking for one of the most sussed DJ’s, then Noel and Maurice Watson were the boys. Schooled at Orangefield Secondary in east Belfast and sometimes residents of Bangor, Co Down, these Irish brothers were so ahead of their game that they almost caused riots during their sets.
The club was founded on hip hop and rare groove, and many of the London B-Boys hated this new music that was burning up the clubs of Chicago and beyond. The management had to install a cage around the DJ area to protect the Watsons, who were so far into the scheme now that they weren’t going to relent in their mission to convert the capital to house. Maurice was spending much of his time in New York, checking out the Paradise Garage and realising that this house thing was unstoppable.
When they moved Delirium from The Astoria to the Heaven venue, they brought Frankie Knuckles over for a long stay, building up the roots of the scene even more. One of the regulars was Danny Rampling, who was putting his own vision together. In time a bunch of acolytes came to the Watson camp. People like Phil Asher and a young whippersnapper called David Holmes. Noel taught the latter how to mix.
Some years later, David paid his dues by dedicating his album Bow Down to the Exit Sign, to the memory of Maurice, who passed away in sad circumstances.
Local legend Noel Watson has kindly given us a short mix for download … its a recent one with some his own productions and edits
You know it makes sense
