The Walk to Work

Archive for January, 2012

Kindness – Gee Up

Kindness – Gee Up

            So I got up early the other morning with my son and did the usual ritual of make some breakfast, put BBC’s 6 music on and have a dance round the kitchen. Normally, the stuff played at that time of the morning is ok (i.e. not the usual stuff [...]


David August – On my Mind

David August – On my Mind

        No Walk to Work today as I decided to take the day off, so i've instead focused on a track I've been literally hammering all weekend in David Augusts – On My Mind. It is straight up Electro Boogie funk. With a thumping Kick Snare 4/4 beat under a heavy synth [...]


Andy Hart – Tell her you Know

Andy Hart – Tell her you Know

        If you like Deep House then you should be checking and  listening to the Melbourne Deepcast blog and podcasts, it’s a veritable who’s who of the current deep house scene. Started in 2009 by Andy Hart and Myles Mac the blog, club nights and music has gone from strength to strength [...]


Tunng – Jenny Again (The Earlies Remix)

Tunng – Jenny Again (The Earlies Remix)

          Since I read an article about Tunng’s new album (Live from the BBC) I have been thinking about picking this track, for this blog. If you don’t know Tunng, they are an English band that started out as a duo and then grew into something bigger. I have their first [...]


Greg Wilson – OZMOSIS OCT 06 (live mix)

Greg Wilson – OZMOSIS OCT 06 (live mix)

        Slight change of format today in that it’s not a playlist but a DJ mix by the legendary Greg Wilson that I listened to on my morning odyssey. I’ve long been a follower of Greg’s Soundcloud page, and this popped into my stream feed last night. It’s basically a 4 hour [...]


Panoram – Mute City Blues

Panoram – Mute City Blues

          To be honest I could find very little about Panoram. I picked up their mini album ‘Accents’ from Bleep.com the other day and other than it being the first release from the Scenario label and the fact that it is starting to appear on a lot of blogs (erm, yes [...]


Ponty Mython – Sunshine

Ponty Mython – Sunshine

        There’s been quite a resurgence in early 90’s style dance music over the last 6-7 months, obvious candidates being Tensnake and Argy on Permanent Vacation. It’s a bit of a marmite thing I suppose, you either love it or hate it. Personally I love it and was chuffed to stumble across [...]


Headless Horseman – 1CHRD (Blackbird Blackbird Remix)

Headless Horseman – 1CHRD (Blackbird Blackbird Remix)

          Like many people these days I have quite varied taste in music. Before, this used to mean picking up albums from different genres…a hip hop album, an indie album, something electronic. But gradually, overtime, it has become the norm to cover a number of genres, tools and sounds in one [...]


Storm Queen – It Goes On

Storm Queen – It Goes On

        It was a really hard decision on what track to feature today. I really wanted to go for a Morgan Geist track as I had an almost purely MG based playlist but should I go for something newish in Storm Queen or roll back the years and cover a Metro Area track or even one of his remixes. In the end I opted for the [...]


Grimes – Weregild

Grimes – Weregild

          “There is a powerful harmony in Grimes. It is a project which is both musical and visual, embodying the arts of 2D, performance, dance, video and sound. Claire Boucher weaves these together to a strong rhythmic effect”. This is what Arbutus records say about Grimes. I am not sure about [...]
