Whatever the dj equivalent is to writers block, I have it. My aesthetics series is meant to be something a bit different but as I’m somewhat lacking in inspiration at the moment, I thought I’d roll out some d&b in meantime. New, old, rough, smooth, there’s a little bit of everything for everybody. Enjoy!

Dillinja – The Golden Years

The name is Marmite.  The name is Dillinja and you either love him or hate him.  Whether the name is Dillinja, Capone, Trinity, Cybotron or any of his other aliases for a long time that name meant quality.  This mix focuses on a period in the late 90’s when this man could do no wrong and he pioneered a drum sound that is often imitated, seldom bettered but is yet to be matched.  Here are 31 reasons why you should give Marmite another chance!

Enjoy!!

Hey. This is the show I uploaded and promptly deleted last week (what a pain in the arse that was…)

I re-recorded it on Tues and in predictable fashion it didn’t ‘feel’ quite as good (although that’s no doubt to do with the heavy weekend I experienced – being 33yrs old is no joke if you like a brew…). Same music though (barring an ‘hilarious’ incident where I managed to forget my MJ tribute record which lead to a drastic re-working of the last 3 tracks). Oh – and an unlisted bonus right at the end that enabled me to get the show up to the 1hr 55mins that’s required for Reverb.

So, some great hip hop new & old, some good funk & the usual dose of other stuff interspersed with my occasionally incoherent ramblings. Selling it well aren’t I ..?

Amon Tobin – 4 Ton Mantis (Bonobo Remix)
