hollaaaaaa!


i know i know it's been ages. sorry. we've been pretty busy: both been moving between various cities, i've had some ridiculously epic nights that i'll over-enthusiastically elaborate on later, and jake managed to spend a grand on nothing in 12 days. fool!
i've not got anything in particular to blog about so i guess i'll just throw out some shit that's got me excited recently. was gonna do a 'best of 09' or 'best of the decade' thing but never got round to it, and its a little too late now. they're all pretty lame anyway.

ONE
MR SCRUFF'S NYE KEEP IT UNREAL SUPERMEGA FANTASTIC PARTY

this was off. the fucking. chain. i've seen scruffdawg quite a few times before but he completely killed it this time. can't think of anywhere i'd rather be more on new years than that beautiful little room in manchester's northern quarter. they say new years eve is always a disappointment but fuck that, this surpassed even the hype that i gave it.

listen to the 7 hour set (almost) in its entirety right here.

Mr Scruff live DJ mix from Keep It Unreal, Band On The Wall, Manchester, NYE 2009/10 by Mr Scruff

TWO
VERVE//REMIXED COMPILATION SERIES

it was actually my girlfriend's dad that put me onto this collection of soul gems, with remixes by the likes of mr. scruff (yeah i really cannot get enough), rae & christian, rjd2, dangermouse, king britt and plenty more well-respected and forward-thinking producers, with a seemingly telepathic knack for tapping right into the dancing part of your brain. here's a couple of my personal favourites.







THREE
SOULWAXMAS


another epic night with a ridiculously sick line-up: soulwax, 2manydjs, erol alkan, aeroplane AND mixhell. it had a pretty early start and finish, and from pretty much 9 onwards it was RELENTLESS. soulwax's new stuff is sounding predictably sweet. and check this video of the EPIC finale:



FOUR
TWIN PEAKS

a lot of you have probably already been lucky enough to have seen this genius bit of television, and i've been telling anyone who'll listen about it for years. I've recently been on a bit of a twin peaks binge, after getting sally, my other half, completely hooked. WATCH IT. NOW. AGENT COOPER WILL CHANGE YOUR LIFE.


that's about all i can think of for now. i'll try and make a post with a point some time soon. promise!

HAPPY NEW YEAR
MAD LOVE,
LUKE X
