Need a Friday boost chaps? Try this on, shamelessly cheddar, but you can beat that o.t.t. hat loop when it drops. Can't help but feel it's probably 2dB too loud, but it wouldn't be the same otherwise! And what about those awful needle scratches? I love them, Col hates them!

Instra:mental - Watching You
My tune of the day is this absolute cracker by the Instra:mental chaps. A little 'older' (released in 2009), it made me think - when does a piece of music become 'old'? Because of the glut of music available from the plethora of platforms we have today, people tend to consume music rather than stopping to enjoy it as art. I'm guilty of this from time to time: as a resident DJ, you have to keep the bag fresh, not just recycle the same tunes week in week out, and this involves 'sifting' through hours of music like someone might sort through a pile of crappy Primark clothing!
Anyways.. Listen to this beauty from all those many, many years ago, and remember good music is good music, regardless of how much it might have been played, or when it was made.

Julio Bashmore - Battle for middle you
Can't get enough of this track at the moment. Love the deep house/Garage vibes. Nuff Sed. Went off like milk behind a warm radiator on Friday at Forum! Enjoy chaps, Tom x

Nigel Hall RA Interviewed in his studio
I had to put this up as I worked for Nigel about 5 years ago when I was brassic and needed cash urgently.
He needed someone to help him clean his studio and tidy up and I was available. I remember his studio being beautiful - an old church building I believe - and it was full of his sculptures and large framed monochrome drawings. The ceiling must have been about 30 feet above my head and there was a massive abstract steel sculpture dominating the hall with plenty of smaller steel and wooden sculptures in various stages of completion dotted about. He also had a classic car (Mercedes I think) parked in it.
I think he's got to that stage in his career that we all dream about - paid handsomely to do something that he loves doing.
The piece that he talks about in the film, Like Thunder, is one that I might have helped him with by sanding down the surfaces prior to the polish being applied. Or it might not be. I remember there being about 10-15 similar pieces with slight variations with this being the biggest. It looked like the physical embodiment of a train of thought.
What you don't get from the film is the smell - and it's a smell that I love. It's paint, wood, metal, polish and dust. It's the smell of a lifetime of making things. It's probably the sweet smell of success.

Talk Talk 'It's My Life' (Tensnake live edit) Source Festival
One of my all time favourite bands given some live remix treatment by Tensnake including a nice African chant at t'beginning.
This is from their set at the Source Festival that, unfortunately, I didn't have the pleasure of attending. I quite fancy going somewhere other than the UK to see live music but, sadly, I don't get out much these days. Unless it's to Tesco's to spend an ever increasing proportion of my money on groceries.
Still, it's my life (boom boom!).
