My much mentioned Old Ghosts LP of unreleased and unheard tracks is finally out today and you wont have to reach for the Ouija Board to get hold of it. Instead just click the following link to the amazing Myuzyk who have kindly offered it up for FREE, yes, no charge at all, in either MP3 or FLAC formats. And of course there’s further info about each track to be found here.
Still not convinced? Well here’s a few nice comments about it…
“Want a free album of discarded bits-n-bobs by the genius behind Cassetiquette? of course you do.” I Really Love Music
“A good insight into the many styles of music that has influenced Tom as a DJ and an artist and very much worth your time grabbing – made even easier as it’s free.” Interesting Blends
So once again the UK ground to a halt this week, with young budding artists showing off their sculpting skills while half the nation risked broken limbs as they slipped and slid to the corner shops in inappropriate footwear. Sadly it also put a stop to the 1st Trick & Tom show of the year, with a city of ice separating us from the radio station we decided to stay home and wait for Roland Emmerich to come and save us.
He never showed of course but to pass the time Trick went and offered up a free track from my archives – the aptly named “Snowy Day” which for those that remember was my 1st reggae production almost 5 years ago. This is the dub mix of my remix for Jay Bharadia which you can grab from here, and of course if you want the vocal version or the original get your wallet out and click this.
For those still wondering when this Roots Manuva record will be finished, the final touches are being applied this weekend – I’m currently cutting up some theremin as played by Ed Zed yesterday…
I just woke up from last night’s festivities and what a night it was. Obviously we all had a lovely time at the Big Chill but the highlight of the night for me was sitting in traffic on Tower Bridge in the middle of a blizzard listening to Jive Talking by The Beegees on Radio 2.
As for the party I just wanted to say sorry for the midnight hiccup. It turned out my phone was 4 minutes slow and none of the Disco Shed crew were on hand to give me a prod, so while everyone was counting down, I was head down cutting up jungle before turning to see shedonist Del Gazebo frantically digging through a box of wires in a futile search for a microphone. Hopefully the singalong to The Trojan’s Auld Lang Syne made up for the schoolboy error though, so thanks to everyone who made it a splendid night, especially the Gibb brothers.
So where have these Old Ghosts got to? Unfortunately there have been a few hold ups over at Myuzyk HQ, mainly thanks to my tardiness with posting the masters but it’ll be ready to grab soon so I’ll give you the heads when it happens. In the meantime you can preview a few tracks over on my Soundcloud page.
Your seasonal celebrations are probably in full swing by now. Mine started in the small hours of Saturday night taking the torch from electro legend Arthur Baker at the Audiosushi Xmas bash in Brixton but if you missed that there’s always the usual yuletide Sklylarkin session on Christmas Eve in Oxford, or for suburban crew I’m spending Boxing Day in the old faithful Kingstonians know as Bacchus, and obviously don’t forget Disco Shed @ The Big Chill Bar on New Years.
Just a quick one to let you know Shatter The Hotel is now on the shelves and pon the webs. The “dub inspired tribute to Joe Strummer” features songs from Strummers back catalogue reworked in a dub style with an international line up including Don Letts, John Brown’s Body and ‘Hotel’ boss Prince Blanco. I knocked up a steppers version of Lost In The Supermarket which you can grab right now along with a whole host of other great versions from itunes, Amazon with hard copies hitting the shops soon. All proceeds go to Strummerville so don’t be tight.
Completely unrelated but if you have absolutely nothing better to do and fancy a long read, I’ve been busy blogging over at the Trick & Tom site, following our impromptu porn related show last week, i thought I’d pen some stuff which loosely ties in, from Donna Summer love to off-broadway theatre and classic funk breaks, go check it out.
