Well now, this is really rather special isn't it:

Psychonaught - Granite by Psychonaught

(wait for the lush bleeps after the break...)

Here's a lil mix from me for the sunshine, or the rain, depending on the weather. An Untimely tangent through music space with a wonkily soulful vein running through it... hip hop beats, 2 step shuffle, epic house deepness & dubstep pressure! Some old tunes, some new tunes, some tunes of indeterminate age.

Tracklisting after tha jump....

Me and Globalibre's O.live.R were having a bit of a trans-European love in this afternoon, he was checking out some of my remixes and I was checking out his latest mix:

DJ O.live.R - "All U Want To Know About Bass"-Tape by o.live.r

which is an awesome selection of UK Funky / UK Garage / Houseyness, mostly quite minimal and spacious, with occasional snatches of brass & vocals... like all of his mixes the entire tracklist is now on my want list... definitely improved my afternoon, check it out!!

This was doing the rounds on the old blogs a few weeks back... also heard it on Radio 1 the other day:

Florence & The Machine - You Got The Love (The XX Remix)

I was listening to it at work over and over today and it's just beautiful. It's two step shuffle, cut up vocals and booming bass made me remember how much I love UK Garage! So I thought I'd dig out some gems. UKGarage is a pretty much maligned genre but it was a necessary precursor to Grime, Dubstep, UK Funky, well basically all UK dance music since. So here's my personal mini Garage lesson:

(sorry some of the mp3s are 128s of vinyl rips so not perfect quality...)

First up is this classic psychedelic garage cut circa 2001/02 from Sounds of da Future... MENTA. (Or is it Sounds of da Future by Menta? I've never been sure)

plenty more after the jump...
