Diplo produced this track for Snoop Dog… featuring Kid Kudi. This remix comes from the fantastic Smalltown DJs, sans Snoop!

THAT TREE (Smalltown Djs Sans Snoop Remix)

Here’s a little something that has been doing it for me for a while now… this track is the first release on Manny Montiel’s new label Little Owl Recordings, and also marks producer Glen Brady aka DJ Wool and L.A. expat, Subtitle’s debut single together. The sound they achieve is equal parts Hollywood House party and Dirty late night rave. Giggedy!

Check out the video for the new single below, I’m sure this is gonna be a big tune.

Here’s a couple tunes that have really been doing it for me recently… silly things like work have been leaving me with little time to find new music of late, but I’m happy to be able to share these with you (with the artists’ blessing!)

First up is Sharkslayer from Helsinki, sure you all know them already… loving this track right now, mostly because of the way the soulful little breakdown kicks back into the main riff… a real feel-good moment.

I’ll Be Around – Sharkslayer

Also DJ Wool has kindly given us this… his remix of Izza Kizza’s “Hello Euro”, I’ve really been digging Wool’s style since I heard the WTF reminx… all his tracks have that infectious little something that just make you wanna bounce! Keep a look out for his next single “Strobelight”, I’m sure it’s going to be a big tune. More to come on Chromemusic from DJ Wool in the coming weeks, in the meantime… enjoy!

Hello (DJ Wool Remix) Euro

Secret Garden Party was off the hook! We were only supposed to play for an hour, but the band before us finished early, and the next act was late… so in the end we got to play for over 90 mins! This required an on the fly reworking of the set (we’d pre-planned this one) but it all turned out fine thankfully.

The tent we were playing in was fantastic, it looked amazing and because it was Friday night and the start of the festival the crowd were there to get down. Started off pretty quiet with about 200 people but it quickly filled and by the end the tent was absolutely packed out, 1000+ people easy!

Thanks to everyone who came to see us play, the response was amazing and we’re still buzzing about it… massive thanks goes to Mr Man Make Music, DJ Sketchy who was running the Valley of Antics stage over the weekend… and a fantastic job he did too. We only hope we can make the return visit next year.

Unfortunately we couldn’t record the set, but we’ll record it asap and get it up on the blog. In the meantime check out some of the pics!

Hold up people this just in… Robzilla and myself have been asked to fill a slot on The Secret Garden Party festival tomorrow evening. We’re over the moon with the news and running home now to feverishly pack tents and equipment for the weekend. We’ll be playing on the Valley of the Antics stage at 7.50pm, right before Foreign Beggars, if you happen to be at the festy please come down and check out the set… we’ll do our best to record it and make it available on the site when we get back.

Many thanks to Sketchy of Man Make Music for hooking this up, we can’t wait to get down there and blast some Yum Yum sounds!

This Sunday I attended the protest against the atrocities occurring in Iran. The protest took place in Manchester’s Piccadilly Gardens, Manchester City Centre. It was a peaceful protest and although people were clearly very upset and concerned about the issue at hand, there was absolutely no trouble at all. As a sign of support, we brought down strips of green material and handed them out amongst the demonstrators, the colour now being synonymous with the opposition party fighting for freedom in Iran.

We seemed to be the only white Brits at the demo, and I was pretty disappointed not to see more faces in the crowd showing support… however it was clear that the Iranians attending the demo were very appreciative to see at least a couple of us standing with them.

I found the whole thing to be extremely moving, the most striking thing was the amount of people covering their faces to protect their identities, obviously concerned that their presence may cause trouble for family and friends in Iran.

Not being a Farsi* speaker I couldn’t follow most of the protests, but this only gave me time to reflect on how I would feel if it were my family and countrymen in a similar situation. We should all be thankful for our freedoms, not everyone is as lucky as us.

Our thoughts are with the people of Iran.
