I-Level – Give Me

I’ve been picking up a load of 80s soul stuff recently that I’d been meaning to grab for a while and it’s given me a good excuse to go hunting for some new (old) tunes at the same time. The glorious YouTube helped me discover this little corker.

Untold – Bachelor’s Delight

Tucked away on the b-side of his release on Clone Basement Series is this little gem. The a-side is a slightly more techno-y affair which is well worth picking up itself but this is the one that does it for me. Serious bassline at work

Julio Bashmore – Well Wishers

Lovely blissed out house stuff from the consistently excellent Julio Bashmore. The A-Side “Ensnare” is more of the same, but I think I kinda like this one a bit more

Animal Collective – My Girls

As the name might suggest this is a fairly loosely defined bunch of musicians and guests making some pretty cool, weird indie/electronica. One of the main guys Panda Bear makes pretty good tunes on his own so it’s well worth checking out some of his stuff if you’re into this kinda thing.

Charm B2B Maxx Vinyl – 80s Grooves Mix

Lovely mix of 80s rare groove, soul, funk and all that kinda thing from Maxx Vinyl & Charm. Maxx is a wicked hardcore & old skool DJ and I’d recommend checking him out if you get the chance. So many tunes on this mix. Give it a spin and bring a good vibe to a grey day…
