I’m on the clock. There’s too many half written un posted blogs on the go here. I’m giving myself half an hour, then hitting the post button regardless. Starting… now. (Im simulating hitting a clock with a button) Like a Techno Chess player. Ahh shit, that would mean it’s someone else turn.. I think I might be falling at the first hurdle here… typing shite for 25 minutes and mentioning a couple of tunes in at the end. I’ve recognised the problem and addressing it.. the records ran out though.
And a good one it was too.. imho. Got few weeks back, and been one of my favourite rotators since.

Just checked link.. seems bit fast.. or maybe as usual I’m pitching down. Or maybe even playing at the wrong speed. Who cares.. I don’t give a fuck how the artist wanted it to sound, just that it sounds brilliant to me. In fact I’m getting a flashback.. I’m sure I’ve said that to someone.. “I really love the xx track, absolute belter.. but at the wrong speed”. Just in case you were about to get above yourself there.
Oh aye, 15 mins gone.. half time. I’ll have wee beer break, and be back to you once refreshed. .. aye if I had time.. it’s fast and furious blogging here. Power Blogging. I’ve only played 1 record right enough. Can you imagine DJ Godfather doing this. 15 minutes, he’s played about 50 records by now. One word about each. I’m going to steal that right off him.. or myself even.. belter.. shite. ..ghetto…love..prism.. artichoke.. etc. But that’s for another blog.
10 mins.. record on now.. STEPBACK001. – ThinkTank. Not heard of them for a while. Just grabbed this up the road today.. not knowing anything about it, and low n behold turns out it’s timeless Edinburgh Techno. When I say that, it’s timeless, as it could have been recorded anytime in the last 20 years.. Certainly ‘W Sludge’ track I’m listening to now…it’s just good techno.. and from Edinburgh.
Which brings me neatly to next record I’m putting on. I don’t know a great deal about it, you may know more about than me, but I know it’s got a gold sleeve, it says GQOM OH ! on it, it’s a double LP, and I know it’s from Durban.
It says “The Future Sound of Durban” on the cover. My first thought was.. “this is brilliant, I’m heading down there”, but apparently Durban is in South Africa, and not Northumberland, as I thought. Anyway, it’s a gatefold sleeve and looks like all the information I need is contained in the inside of the sleeve there, but it’s shrink wrapped and I’m not feeling I want to rip it off to get that info. Who cares.. all I care is that there’s a few belters of tunes on there.
And remember, it’s not where you’re at.. it’s where you’re from !! (or something like that).. Or where you can get to in half an hour to be more precise.
