Between us both we’ve got broad tastes and love for a lot of music that spans many decades right up to the present day.
We tried to encapsuate just some of what we love into the next sixty minutes…

I’m going through a bit of a dub phase at the moment. It’s not something I buy a lot of, mainly because I don’t know a huge amount about it. However, every now and again I hear a couple of tracks by a producer that just blows me away and then have to go on a dig for their records. At the moment it’s Mad Professor and some of his sonic experiments gleamed from a vast back catalogue.
BTW the guy built a recording studio in the front room of his house at the beginning of his career. He got his priorities spot on. What more do you need to know.
Below are five that I think show how varied and talented the man is on a mixing desk.
Really needs heard on a proper system to do the sonics justice.
2.11…Hello!
Never judge a book by it’s cover. Heavy.
Just a beautiful mix of vocal and production. Illustrates Mad Professor’s versatility.
Massive Attack wouldn’t just pass over an album to anybody. The Professor certainly brings it.
For me one of the most prolific artists of modern times has to be Carl Craig, a man with a ridiculous amount of pseudonyms and one of the best back catalogues in electronic music.
Here are ten from his vast repertoire that I adore, some well known, some not so much but all great.
Anyone who professes machine music has no soul, needs to get their listeners around this beauty.
He can even make Duran Duran sound good.
Twenty seven years ago he came from the future.
The art of the remix Pt 1.
Pt 2.
House music doesn’t really come much better than this weapon under his Paperclip People moniker.
Arp action executed with perfection.
Brass can sound absolutely shite in electronic music, then there’s this.
Here he teams up with Derrick May as Incogdo for a lesson in how to make raw piano house that’s remained timeless.
Hard to know what to say about this one, except it’s incredible.
So BB2 is in all good stores right about now and already sold out in a few too. Piccadilly blowing us away once again with another crazy review, so happy they got the Black Cock vibe off Roller as those releases are such a big influence on certain aspects of what we do!
Fellow Belfast heads FMB feeling the acid on BB1.
Grip the repress fast, BB2 is coming out of the crypt next!
We’ve bought amazing records over the years from this great store in Manchester, so to get such kind words on the first exhuming and retouching, has pretty much blown us away to be honest.
