As we grapple with daily tasks and adulthood, most of our minds are preoccupied with mirages of great landscapes to escape to. So the question lingers on, when do we get a damn break?
Here's the ritualistic offering to appease the Bedouin's nomadic soul...
Our guest mix this month is a bubbling rhythmic wander land, the architect - Syafii - runs monthly nights 'Good Times' and '808' along with his mates from the Bedsty crew.
"This mix is made up of some of my fave tunes from the endlessly-mutating, frankly amazing UK bass scene"
Rolling on with our monthly podcast, we have 2 beat nuts on the case for May.
The bright young star of the Qilin camp is our guest mixer man for this episode. Izaak Stern presents us with a mix full of phased out samples and crushed beat collages, impressive and immersive.
"Izaak Stern is on a journey across musical tangents, where nothing is prescribed and nothing is certain. With an experimental modus operandi (which often results unconsciously in an “experimental” end product), the producer views beatmaking as an exploratory process. From the bedrooms of Singapore, to the speakers of London, Izaak Stern is a faceless sound emerging from the depths of the underground"
Eyjafjallajokull glacier (*note, this is not any random keyboard freestyle, that's how it is spelled) continues to spew, smoking up Europe and its other unfortunate beneficiaries leaving them high and dry. While just 8 km away from where i live is an industrial amusement park made bullishly by and for oil and GDP nuts. This AI(Artificial Island) has been flaring(illegally), turning the skies into an apocalyptic orange hue.
A cessation on references to weather reports and current affairs, duly directs our attention to the fact that our good friend and ally Air Traffic Control Tower is operating safely albeit nature and climate running amok.
Also check the motley crew of aerospace controllers ássembled over at We Are Airfields. atct will be performing at SEED next month. Check his site for more details.
Episode 0/2 - Featuring Shellsuit and Christen Danse
Buckle up! Up first on this month's episode, is a tasty brew from our guest Shellsuit, which is then followed by a hyped CD danse out.
"Shellsuit is a music fiend most commonly heard playing funk, soul and old school hip hop at Pushin’On, a monthly night in Singapore he runs together with DJ Chunk and MC Masterpiece. This short mix was done for fun to piece together some familiar tracks from the mid 80’s to early 90’s."
You know it's all about that fnukd up ting. Serious.

I don't have a neck as huge as Mr. Rollins but here's to a lesson of not bending over backwards for anyone how big or small. I'm all up for providing great hospitality but there's always a threshold to bratty behaviour.
Anyway, thanks to those who stayed till the end last Saturday and the greatest of apologies to those who came and just couldn't hang around longer to catch my set. Below is an offering to both groups of people.
