REECHA MIX

I’ve got monitor eyes and haven’t had time to write up the stories I have to tell you! Oh no. Here’s a short summary of my recent adventures (*actually you could call it ‘What I Did Last Week’ like one of them school exercises):

“In the past this week I’ve had to coax Dennis Bovell out the pub, made a major discovery in the Elizabeth Bishop archives, been bowled over by how beautiful Storm and Flight are, started developing some music video plots with Lady Chann (more on that soon), gone all the way to Oxford to find a dust jacket only to realise when I finally got the book I wanted that they take all the dust jackets off the books and store them in a special dust jacket room (!!!), bought some new pyjamas, messed Lemonde around a lot, set up Ahu with a new boyfriend and HANDED IN MY EXAM FORMS.”

All the while I’ve been bussing it to this mix that Reecha of Dirty Canvas/No Hats No Hoods has done especially for POP. At my desk at work and everything.

Featuring the currently hype likes of Brackles, Bok Bok, Rude Kid, Deadboy, SRC, Terror Danjah – note it’s full of forthcoming No Hats No Hoods goodies. (BTW I’m listening to Bok Bok and Braiden duppying it on Rinse FM right now).

This is Reecha looking like George Clooney OMG

Also I totally failed to find the time to write a review of DJ Magic’s very fine No Hats No Hoods Edition 1 mix CD last year so here I am finally bigging it up. Proper grime essentials, no sugary pop tings. Go and find it.

My final Xmas Gift is this tech-house mix from my friend MirrorMirror. She’s doing a musicology PhD! We’re both going insane and falling to pieces. Nevertheless this mix is perfectly composed. And more than a little sexy.

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

See ya 2010.

The one and only Carrie Bradshaw of Rave (that’s me) is struggling right now trying to finish my PhD thesis before Christmas.

Definitely the hardest thing I’ve done in my life so forgive me for not writing a proper post again til next year – I’m about quality control.

Meanwhile I will serve you a series of Christmas treats instead.

The first is this beautiful ‘Winter Mix‘ by my friend DJ Oneman. I’ve been reaching but failing for the right adjective for it … but there’s something reassuring about when music exceeds language.

Anyway it proves that Oneman is bearing the torch for intelligent interpretations of dubstep etc. Get ready for his Rinse CD in late January, it’s gonna be seminal.

Oneman waay back in 2007
