Quick reminder that you can catch me tonight at Arc in Bristol at Transcontinental Extravaganza alongside Zootsteppa, Neo and Harley Quinn. I'm gonna be playing moombafrobalkanbass and it's most likely gonna be massive...

Quick heads up about some DJ dates I got coming up:

26th November - Transcontinental Extravaganza @ Arc Bar, Bristol

16th December - Skank n Stomp with 3 Daft Monkeys in Falmouth

31st December - BalkanTronika NYE party, Berlin

Hope to see you at one of them... Will post more info and flyers as they come my way

Heads up for anyone in the South West, some seriously heavyweight balkan club nights going on in Bristol and Falmouth: Skank n Stomp is bringing the Balkan Hotsteppers DJs over from Belgium, to the Croft on Friday and Falmouth Rugby Club on Saturday. It's gonna be massive! I'm gutted that I can't make it due to my life being consumed by boat building (that's not some kind of weird euphemism, as regular readers may be aware I'm actually building - well, restoring - a boat) - the Hotsteppers' AKB vs Beastie Boys mashup was literally a game changer for me:

Amsterdam Klezmer Band vs. Beastie Boys - Triple Son by Balkan Hotsteppers

I've been seriously neglecting my blogging duties lately... but guys! I've been restoring a 100 year old dutch barge! gimme a break! sheesh. some people

The shenanigans continue over the road at The Old Fox til you actually want to go home, not a moment sooner.

To whet your appetite, first off you could do worse than check out my Electro Swing DJ Mix for Ripsnorter... then after that, there's a few tunes that have caught my attention lately after the jump...:

Remember that electro swing dj mix I posted last month? Well the mysterious someone who asked me to do it, I can now reveal, was Pod from Ripsnorter... and on Saturday 11th September we're going to be bringing the undeniable sound of this summer (Yolanda Be Cool at no 1!?!? RivaStarr Scott Mill's record of the week?!?!) to Ripsnorter's terrace for a night of future-vintage debauchery. Myself, Pod and others will be bouncing on the Terrace, with the usual Ripsnorter hard/acid/psy/tech/trance shenanigans in the main room from Jim Hedges, Ed Real, Glowbones, DJ Eldy and Pod.

I'm real excited about this gig, some of my first DJing outings were playing hard trance / hard house back around 2000 at Sheffield free parties, and I was a regular at friends-of-Ripsnorter Planet Zogg, so it feels a little like I've come full-circle here, but brought something a bit Untimely to the mix...

Check the event on facebook: Ripsnorter Autumn Antics!

as a reminder of what you're in for... here's that electro-swingin mixtape again:

Just come across this mix on the Hijack Bristol forum by someone called JE3Z-LUNCHBOX... It's a wicked selection of swinging balkan electronic craziness, loads of tunes I can't identify, good work sir... if you find your way here, any chance of a tracklisting??

Here's what he had to say about it:

Its good to see that more people are getting into the whole electro swing, gypsy beats scene.

Awesome gig at the Boneyard in Bristol on Saturday... I recorded my set, will have it up here tomorrow sometime hopefully - but in the meantime i've got to mention these guys who played straight after me: Octa Push.

Check this out:

Haven't added anything here for a while - we've just moved onto a boat and can't get internet where we're moored up at the moment. I'm grabbing 5 minutes at work to post this...

My big-haired homie from Bristol Afro-E posted a bunch of stuff on Soundcloud a while back and I've been checking it out. I love this one:

Afro-E - Do the Big Man

I'll be back in Bristol next weekend supporting Max Pashm & band at Fiddlers... should be amaaazing! Here's the details on Facebook. The gig is organised by my new friends at Gypsy Tings - bringing (even more!) balkan & gypsy music to Bristol & the south west, check em out!
