Thank Crunchie

We've got that Friday Feeling over here. Maybe cause' the sun is out (although I think it's still minus 5 or something). So as a prequel to the second installment of Instruments Of Rapture - here's the lead track on a 100 download only (192kbps) special for all the regulars.

Please note : we won't repost this one once it hits 100 downloads so please don't ask - thanks.

6th Borough Project - Do It To The Max (192kbps)

Look Backwards to Go Forwards

I recently dug this classic acid house jam out of the vaults and have been playing it quite a bit. Its by Adonis of No Way Back fame, going crazy on the sampler over a joyous 303 line. Prepare to jack.

Record Of The Week

Thanks again for all your support ;)

Low Life & The Social Magic Moments

Here are a few of the kodak memories from last weekends jaunt to The Social and Low Life in London. Our mate Emma's Big Issue costume had to be one of the best of the evening, even managing to fool the security staff enough to almost get her thrown out. She made a few quid though. On the plus side, I ended up with somebody else's shoe in my bag? All in a weekend's work.

And with not too many 'beer-induced-horse-falling-down-stairs' moments ... Here's The Revenge set from Low Life

Rocky Mountain Snifter

Our latest release on Five20East will be available through a few stores on Monday 23rd February (Already available on pre-order from Piccadilly Records). It's a big release for us as it represents almost 10 years of putting out music in one form or another. We'll be getting an updated Five20East online store soon with more exclusive new products. In the meantime, here's a taster of another one of the tracks from the E.P.

Deep Space Orchestra

It may be thick with snow on your driveways, but from the farthest corner of the galaxy, a faint radio signal has reached our planet in the form of righteous rhythms and jellyfied basslines sliced through with solar string sections and distant voices ... I'm tripping yes ... but this only makes it better.

Satellite towns around the north of England and the odd joint are as close as they get to space, but Chris Barker and Si Murray's latest project Deep Space Orchestra has been slowly burning a hole in my hard drive since it arrived. One of their little space odysseys, City Streets, features on the new Five20East 12", Death On The Highway, due out in a couple of weeks and they have plenty more in store.

Here's some 192 action for 14 days until the 12" arrives ...

Forthcoming

We're both looking forward to our London trip in February where we'll be doing stints at The Social for the Tirk chaps and then onto Lowlife on Saturday 14th for Bill's To Hell With Poverty love-in. We'll also have a new L.E.S.S. Productions CD out at the end of February alongside new material on Five20East and Instruments Of Rapture. Stay tuned.

In the meantime - here's a rework of a classic to get us into 2009. (14 days / 192kbps / no repost)

Dennis Edwards - Don't Look Any Further (The Revenge Rework)

Death On The Highway

Hope you all had a fantastic Xmas and New Year. We've been working hard to bring you some hot new shizz for 2009. Here's the first horse out of the stalls ...

To celebrate the dawn of a new year and 10 years in existence, Five20East will be releasing the first in a trilogy of 12" vinyl showcasing new material from our artists. The first part, entitled "Death On The Highway", features tracks from Cronk Family Enterprises, Andy Ash, Deep Space Orchestra and Harri & The Revenge. Due for release in February, this release will be available on vinyl only initially with digital versions appearing later in the year. Parts 2 + 3 will appear later in 2009 with a CD compilation to follow.

More details soon ...

Just a quick heads up to remind all those in the Glasgow area that you can catch us Djing in the basment of IVY this new years eve from 9pm. We've both been scurrying around finishing some new edits especially so there should be a load of choice cuts aired on the night.

IVY is a lovely intimate venue which is the antithesis of the over-hyped, over-priced club nights that dominate the clubbing calendar at this time of year. So if you're still undecided where to go on Wednesday then you could do a lot worse than come down to 157 North Street...see you there ;)

Tickets are £5 from Tickets Scotland or the IVY itself.

Yacht Rock Vids

First heard of this over on the DJ History forum, but didn't realise there were so many episodes. If you love your 70's & 80's pop like we do you'll find this hilarious!

Bob Rivers Festive Cheer

One that I always dig out for this time of year is Bob Rivers' classic collection of festive ditties. My favourite is 'Walking Round In Women's Underwear' but the other two here - 'Yellow Snow' and 'Chipmunks Roasting On An Open Fire' are worthy contenders too. Cheer up your stereo here ...

Selection Box

Since you've devoured your People's Choice stocking fillers already, here's a couple of extra bits which a couple of you may have from last year (I've not found time to do any xmas edits for a few years now as you can see!). Xmas Number One is JM Number One tied up in ribbons with The Waitresses and the other needs no explanation ...

Merry Xmas to one and all.

2. The Revenge - Xmas Number One (Dub)

3. Chris Rea - Driving Home For Christmas (The Revenge Redub)

The Final Countdown

Well here it is folks - the long-awaited reposting of the most-requested trax/edits that have graced our blog for the past 18 months. Thanks to everyone who told us what they'd like to see re-upped, gave out the kind words, and kept massaging our egos ;)

By far and away the most requested was the Revenge's balearic party version of a certain Madge classic, but there's a bucket-load of other goodies in this top ten run-down including the excellent Horace Andy re-imagining and the Luther/Aled Jones mashup that started all this carry-on.

Here's to a happy xmas, heavy duty hogmanay and more good things in the '09

The scent of hope is in the air today with a new president seeking to steer us out of the windy wood. So I thought I'd share this new remix with a hopeful message, available on vinyl very soon and packaged with two brand new tracks from 6th Borough Project. "We as a people ... will get to the promised land".
