It was inevitable I guess; LN-CC were always going to take this step officially. Think about who works there: Jonny Nash from Land Of Light, Dan Mitchell from Bad Passion… In fact they’re all total record nerds. So, subsequently you also know that when they do this they’re going to do it with some conviction. [...]

This looks great- I’ll definitely be getting my shabby ass down there. Maybe I’ll even don a caftan in Claussell’s honour. Or not, as the case may be. Go here for RSVP.

Here’s a little heads-up at Heads Down on some degenerate audio porn that’s just landed at the emporium of all things covetable- LN-CC. They’re proper record nerds down at the Dalston mothership, and that, evidently, doesn’t stop at rare and crave-worthy vinyl. They’ve just received an arsenal of super high end styli, headphones and conductive [...]

It’s about that time again: I’ve very pleased to announce that after much to-ing and fro-ing the Heads Down Saturday Summer Sessions will be returning to Caravan again for 2012. Last year was fantastic, but exhausting, so we’ve decided to bring it back fortnightly so I don’t have to be stretchered out of there come [...]

I’m posting about this for two reasons, those reasons being the two exceptional sets of people involved. The Bad Passion boys are, you guessed it, endlessly passionate about their music and incredibly serious about the less-than-serious business of throwing a wicked party. The Idjut Boys are absolutely sensational on a good night, and nothing less [...]

I’m very excited to announce I’ll be playing tonight at Wellington’s legendary Mighty Mighty from midnight till late with extremely able assistance from local hero B Lo (who more than knows his onions). The last time I played here two years ago I had A BALL, so it’s always a bit nerve-wrecking going back to [...]

Toby Tobias is an excellent British DJ and underground producer best known for his uniquely woozy, technoid take on modern disco and the lesser known fact that he is undoubtedly one of the nicest men in dance music. Here Mr Tobias has very generously given me an exclusive piece of music to give y’all: it’s [...]

Nick The Record is one of those names that has been buried deep in my London musical consciousness since the early nineties (he was a regular player at DJ Harvey’s Moist night in Covent Garden), his name is almost a byword for record lust, obsessive collecting and an uncynical love for spreading the (near) perfect [...]

More ruminations on the state of the White Island from Nightmares On Wax, Toddla T et al… My own risible contributions included (inevitably). By the way: I meant ‘Two Of China’, not ‘Two China’, before any of you nerds get up in my grill!

The people behind the devilishly clever iPhone app Augmented Ibiza have lately been making some excellent little films based around the musical and cultural aspects of the White Island, and they foolishly asked me to come aboard and give my barely coherent two cents worth. It’s definitely an interesting watch (my gibbering aside) and definitely [...]
