When it’s that time of the night needing pressure for the floor or when playing huge spaces like festivals etc, this is a guy I reach for a lot. LA based Truncate makes the kind of stripped back club music that rolls and jacks but also packs funk.

Let’s not mention anything about pinning hopes and dreams to 2022 but at the same time bid farewell to the back of yet another strange year. We sadly lost another stack of greats, had things open up for a while (that bit was great/likely they might shut down again soon) but at least there was still a constant pile of great new/old music to get lost to.

5 I’ve listened to a lot. Not all new, but new to me – Aaron Black.

Five finds in 2021 – Timmy Stewart

Another major force has sadly just passed on, Robbie Shakespeare of Sly & Robbie has left the earth but also behind a crazy legacy of his touch across dub, pop, rock and more.

Jah rest in power!

We had a great night Djing in the Ulster Sports Club recently for Schmutz. Largely down to playing two sets one early, one late! Also having working technics, cdjs, a decent mixer with FXs, alongside a great open minded crowd = 2 pigs in shit.

Five played in our first doors open set and Pt 1 recording from the night here!
