Seiji-Fustratin ///  Thumping kicks, chops of vocals, sharp high hats, claps with a slaps, fast tempo, its simple, knock you OUt!!
Zed Bias- Music Deep Inside /// Omdayz, this track is the bomb, 1:29 just does it for me, the style of the drums, cuts of vocals, really nice build up,top.
Faith evans- You Gets no Love /// This lady has a dope voice, really unique tone, love her style. Check check
Boards Of Canada - In a beautiful place out in the country //// There is something about this track, haven't heard this in a while but when i do always get the chills, beautifully eeire, the drone of the bass, laid back beat, the soft chords.

Honey Comb Bangle

LONG TIME Long TIME

YES YES Hello... long time wonderful people of the world, been mad busy(only boring stuff) Yes its November, the cold is creeping in very slowly, leaves are changing into the colours of the sunset, the autumn season is settling in, Christmas coming soon jingle jingle, Making this badboy hip hop track at the mo, shall put it it up on soundcloud soon, keep checking in. Like the new pics? Oh oh making this honey comb bangle, I'll post a pic soon, going to look boom, I'm well excited:) okay so what ave i been listening too

Jimmy Abney- You Bring Me Joy/// What a beautiful track, the voice, the chords, the groove, this is from his album 'Return To Forever' on Yoruba records and 'More Of You' is also my favourite, check it out, RESPECT.x

Ahmad Jamal-Death and Resurrection/// This is a real moving track, wonderfully made, you can hear and feel the whole emotion of it through the different chords and sweeping of the strings and the melody that Ahmad Jamal plays, i suppose when you have mastered your craft then i believe you can capture that feeling through music, this is a stunning piece of work and so many of his other tracks, check them out for real!!!

Surgeon-First/// Oh my days, i remember when my brother used to make me listen to similar stuff like this, he used to make me sit down and we would go through all his techno records, now some of these tracks used to be 23 mins long and then he would go into this long conversations and start to analyse the tracks lolllllll, i kinda thank him for it now.

Ian Pooley- Flatlet/// Nice track, reminds me of empty London city at night, the combination of the gliding chords and the driving bass is lovely, the beat is dope too, different,swe-et!

Boo Williams- Planet Earth/// This track is real different, that's what stood out for me, it was made 1995,i don't know if its just me, its sounds as though it was made recently, like the sharp sounds and the groove of the beat,heavy track!!!

Manual Göttsching - E2- E4/// This piece of music feels like it was made fresh today, timeless & just a real lovely piece of music!

Amy Winehouse/// I was just going through some of her music the other day, she was a real talented girl, her voice, the songs she wrote, some beautiful tracks especially her earlier stuff, would of been really nice to see what kind of music she would of done later on in life.

J Dilla-La La La/// This is such a tight beat, good vibes all the way,just a lovely piece to listen too. You know what i think sampling is such a fantastic art, bringing history of music to the present, its a good way of teaching the future generation. They will want to know where that sample came from and through that they will discover other gems, its quite educational, it is building bridges between the old and the new, and when you know how to use it right you can make some magic. 

Indian Breakdance /// check out this unbelievably camp Tamil dance, wth lol, 1:15 wth

shall post more soon.....latazzz
