Pon Pause...

Now matter how I try, I cant seem to get into a good posting rhythm here.. the Christmas season with its many distractions provides the latest excuse - so apologies for the recent silence. Our only defence is that it takes a lot of time and energy to get these mix-packages together - so please bear with us...

The good news is that Sovereign Rhythms 2 is undergoing final flight checks, and should be here today at some point. We got a great response from the Jungilists on the last one – so if you like it – don’t be shy, and leave a comment… I reckon we should get one more mix in before Christmas as well – Im debating whether or not to go for some more reggae, or a bit of hardcore…

Anyway – as usual, things have been happening in our absence. John Eden has returned from his African adventures with some fascinating tales of life in Uganda, Gutterbreakz has filled in a few blanks in my ‘ardcore data bank with his excellent post (and link to a mix) on Belgian Nu-beat, Blackdown has embarked on an extensive Grime + Dubstep 2005 round up, and the esteemed Woebot has come out of retirement.

The old mixes are a bit thin on the ground at the moment - though Matt B's ‘Lifes Road’ reggae mix, Paul Hotflush’s N4 dubstep mix, Logan Sama, Jammer, Skepta, Ears and Riko live at ‘Whutt’, and Aaron Spectre's 'Life we promote' breakcore extravagnaza have been filling in the gaps nicely. Interesting project brewing over at Subvert central as well… more on that as it develops.

Before I forget, Ive got a few new links for the sidebar: Jungle Farmer, Sonic Truth, Wretched Matt, Riddim Method, DRTY SHDWS, Anchormix, Psychbloke, Logan Sama, Pattern Loader, Boomnoise, Halvorsen, Headphone Sex... Lack of time prohibits me from giving these blogs the introduction they deserve, but there are all, of course excellent, and come with our highest recommendations…
