88 days were just asked about our top 10 albums of 2008. We put our heads together, and now we’re happy with this. To be honest, we’re not really ones for looking at releases in terms of calendar years. We get lost. And we get stuck listening to our Roxy Music records and missing every [...]
An ode to the fine folks at 20Jazzfunkgreats, without doubt my favorite mp3 blog / site (whatever) on the internerd. 50% of Aeroplane so it says on the bands myspace, Lullabies in the Dark, from Belgium - oh what a track
All the way from 1969. 1969. I wasn’t even thinking of being alive. What a [...]
Yuksek Yuksek. love this man’s drum sounds, mad love going out to the snare noise on this mix.
Tommy Sparks filled in for Gordon Bloc Party on bass when he was off on paternity leave. 88 days may or may not have heard that he was a bit of a grumpy chap. But he can write [...]
The Count & Sinden present Mega Mega Mega at On The Rocks…it will, I’m sure, be mega. So much so that Sinden has made a new minimix featuring all of the artists performing tomorrow night…contrary to the flyer, that’s The Count & Sinden (DJ set), Frankmusik, Skream, Solid Gold (Trouble Vision) and Emynd & Bo [...]

Big year for the dubstep genre, Monsieur Will Bevan, known more commonly as Burial created havoc in the hood with his remarkable second record (and should have, won the mercury OVER Elbow!!). Meanwhile dubstep remained true to its bass and afro roots, whilst a shift of influence occured from reggae to techno and minimal. Pinch [...]

but goodness, if you don’t already own The Seldom Seen Kid, what are you DOING.

Once one of those nights hit 5.30am and dawn in Soho. Greek Street on a Friday morning. And we stumble up and down the pavements weaving between parked cars and the first bicycles of the day
headphones on because everyone else went home and Bar Italia kicked us out in the end
Ryan we love you.
Soho I [...]
“James,” I always say to him, “James, must you cycle with your headphones on? Without a helmet? You saw how I fell last year.”
And he always laughs and says “It’ll be fine”.
If I were James, I would listen to this on my bike. It might stop me from freaking out about getting hit. The way [...]
A much needed break from html and more so from London, aah bliss. Tom Jenkinson = a clever boy. His last record, Hello Everything (download ‘Modern Bass Guitar‘) was in my opinion his best record ever and it marked a dramatic move away from a purists take on d&b. His latest record continue the adventures [...]
