New release, 20/11/12.
Here at HDTOGA Towers we’re celebrating a new arrival.
We’re currently luxuriating in an hour’s worth of sleep a night and being bathed warmly by the jealous 2 year old sister’s tantrums! Seriously though, all things are grand with our expanded, double gatefold family.
Service here will be somewhat erratic….

A Homeboy, A Hippie & A Funki Dredd: total confusion. 1990
Interesting to see this described as Hip-House
I saw this mob during my freshers’ week in Dundee in autumn 1991. I was off my face on Newcastle Brown Ale (a pound a pint no less) and have more vivid memories of the backing dancers clad in skin tight, canary yellow cycling shorts… caused total confusion in my teenage mind!

José Feliciano - “California Dreaming” (Mamas & the Papas Cover, 1968)
(via chamberlain)
No point in having a USB turntable and not using it...
One of the best things when I used to dj a few years back was if someone asked you what was playing because they thought it was great and wanted to track it down. I intend to post on this blog in the same spirit.
And there's room for some curios in everyone's record collection and there should be no shame in airing them, albeit sparingly, along side the good stuff. I think I can be guilty of liking a song just for the drum track and this pre-disposition may come to the fore occasionally. Drummers should stick together after all.
One of the worst things that happened when dj-ing was being told "I'm only going to forgive you for not playing 'Ride On Time' because you look like James Nesbitt." I don't. I don't play no Black Box records either.
mp3s are posted for a limited time so you can hear the songs before trying to buy vinyl or cd. If you have any objection to these sample songs being posted then email me and I'll remove them.
