Goodbye world

It will have been five years in January since we stared this blog and sadly we finally feel it's run it's course. We're going to leave everything up for the next month and then delete the lot on 1st Jan so you've got some time to grab anything you missed. We've also uploaded some old mixes from our parties we thought you might like: Andy Blake at The Alibi, ZNTN vs Photonz at The Alibi and Nathan Wilkins at The Lock Tavern.
We've really enjoyed running the blog and are honoured that so many people have shown such an interest. In particular, we'd like to thank DJ Mystic Rock, Thomas at Discodrone, Goncalo ZNTN, Mo Morris, Will R$N, Kieran and Ciaran, Andy Blake, Joe Hart, Test Pressing, Legendary Children, JD Twitch, Nathan G. Wilkins, Kate Hutchinson, Holly, Duncan Clark, John Power, Erik Davies, David Stubbs, Gold Blood, Simon Carr and Thisisnotanexit, Cage & Aviary, Deano Jo, Caspar C, Travis Fromage Disco, Tom and all the staff at The Hideaway, Spider and The Flies (Rhys and Tom), Jules at Vegas Design, Cherrystones, Photonz, Nick Garrie, Pacific Horizons, Lucy Wren, The Soundcarriers, Sian Alice Group and everyone that's ever partied with us or spent time on our blog. Big love to you all.

Daniel Avery & The Deadstock 33s - Magnetic

Daniel Avery is going from strength-to-strength.
Having already release one of this year's finest records with Phantasy sound's Water Jump and delivered the best Fabric mix we've heard in ages, he's now teamed up with the legendary Justin Robertson (in Deadstock 33s guise) to put out an EP for Optimo Music. It's brilliant. The instrumentation possibly sounds more 'live' than you'd expect with guitar, drums and bass driving the track over an electronic backing rolling on a teutonic rhythm. With three more tracks promised, including a remix by fast-rising produced Barnt, this could really be the icing on 2012 for one of the UK's hottest talents.

Kit Grill - Fountain

London artist and founder of the now defunct Vessel Music Kit Grill has recently streamed a load of new music through his Soundcloud page.
Refreshingly for electronic music it had a warm, human feel that's missing in a lot of contemporary electronic music. As the tracks twist, turn and meander about the music recalls the experimental attitudes of New York's 'no wave' movement or the UK post-punk scene.

Daniel Maloso - Shera

Simply mind-blowing. Sounding not-unlike Liaisons Dangereuses doing boogie, Daniel Maloso delivers this pumping slice of machine-funk for Cómeme.
Hat-tip to Nathan Gregory Wilkins for the tip.

Lee Oskar - Haunted House

Just in time for All Hallow's Eve, here is a suitably atmospheric roller disco classic from Danish harmonica legend Lee Oskar - "Haunted House". Lee is better known for his soulful playing with War on tunes like "Baby Brother" and "Low Rider" but here he trades strutting for suggestiveness and the results are all the more euphoric for it. Built around a shimmering Fender Rhodes, a whispery guitar arpeggio and an insistent slo-mo disco beat, less is definitely more. It's all so lush and effortless that 7 minutes scarcely feels like long enough to appreciate it and the slightly surreal chorus makes complete sense in context. There's a Leftside Wobble re-edit of this tune doing the rounds, but we recommend the original. Spine-tingling.

Psychemagik - Magik Cyrkles Promo Mix

For those of you that don't know about Psychemagik - SHAME ON YOU!!! They've been rocking dancefloors in London for what seems like an age and have released a string of edits and remixes almost all of which have been jaw-droppingly good. So clued up on their crate digging are they that apparently they operate a nice sideline in helping to furnish everyone from Soulwax to Love Fingers via Q-Tip with some highly sought after vinyl additions.
So it comes as no surprise that they're now issuing 'Magik Cyrkles' - a compilation of some of the rarities and edits that help to make a Psychemagik dj set so special. We couldn't get our paws on a download for you but here's a promo mix featuring most of the tracks to help you get a feel for what looks likely to be the best compilation of 2012.
Head over to Leng Records for more info.
