Warning – it has lots of samples from The Wire in it. Personally I don’t think there are any spoilers, and I’ve checked with that in mind, but if you’re going to get all prissy then I’d advise against working yourself into an apopleptic lather on my account. I really liked the character Bodie, so he got some airtime.
It’s the first mix I’ve done since parting company with Numbers, so I guess I wanted to do something non-dancefloor to show what else I can do. Most of the gigs I’ve played in the past while have been in pubs rather than clubs and this is a reflection of the stuff I’ve been inflicting on the blissfully ignorant masses. I’m planning a more dooftastic mix soon though, once one of my decks stops acting up.
Otherwise, not too much happening. The Bear Tracks is in a virtual queue for release; hopefully start of the year for that, by which time I should have some more stuff ready. Doing a remix for academic show-off and general good cove Dextro at the moment.
