longplayer roundup



It feels like I have been listening to more london radio sets and mixes than at any other point in recent memory - its hard to keep up. Every day brings an avalanche of new tunes to retrieve, load up and listen to. One look at the rinse playback feed shows that this funky 4x4 thing has completely taken over and whatever you may feel about this latest phase, (or which theory you employ to make sense of it all) it does seems futile to try to pretend it isn't here to stay. Or, to put it another way, you might as well know about it.

Cooly G - FACT mix
Cooly is a new hyperdub signee who produces and sings. This mix is wicked.

LVIS1990 - UK house mix for Curb Crawlers
This mix supposedly focuses on the less nursery rhyme / skank side of things. If you find this distinction confusing, check out what Blackdown has to say about it here. Lvis says to file this under uk house, not funky. Either way the set is a big one.
