Sun And Bass podcast #2 – Fracture

astrophonica — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 12:40:35 +0000

I was asked by the guys at Sun And Bass to do a mix for their new podcast series. After spending a week at the festival in Sardinia last summer and absolutely loving it I willingly obliged.

After completing the mix I realised it contains music from every decade since the 60s with the exception of the 80s. That’s 50 years worth of music, pretty crazy when you think about it.

Enjoy . . .

Video diary of Fracture in Ekaterinburg, Russia for Special Forces.

astrophonica — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 13:29:13 +0000

Back in October 2011 I took a trip to Ekaterinburg in Russia. It took ages to get there and I flew through 3 time zones. The whole thing was a mad trip with not much sleep but it was so worth it, such fun! Massive thanks to Rostislav and the Special Request guys. Ekaterinburg rocks! Ridiculously cheap cigarettes too. I captured some stuff on my phone which got edited into this . . .

Got a Bad Habit?

astrophonica — Thu, 10 Nov 2011 16:44:05 +0000

According to my friends, some of my Bad Habits are ‘my sarcasm’, ‘touching their computer screen when I point at things’ and ‘sometimes wearing a hat when cooking in the kitchen (?!)’. I have many more but I’m gonna keep them to myself for now as this is about you not me…

Share your worst Bad Habit on the Astrophonica Facebook wall and I’ll send this test press with one off painting by Emilski to the one that gets the most likes by Friday 18th November.

On the evening of Tuesday the 26th July 2011 I joined old friend Stamina on his weekly show on London’s Rinse FM.

We dug deep, played a selection of old and new, surprised each other with certain tunes and had a good old laugh. Big up club 30s.
