New Tune!!!

Saturday, February 18th, 2006

Aye that’s right - you can pick yourself up off the floor - after a very long break I’ve finally written a new tune! Not entirely sure about it myself but feedback so far has been encouraging - it’s on a bit of a grime tip and isn’t entirely finished but you can grab a listen below.

SCART Thug - Nervous

Recommended new Scottish Releases

Wednesday, February 1st, 2006

Some cracking local releases coming out at the moment:

  • Tangible - Gameover (Point One) - second release from the Glasgow based label bringing you some Drexciyan type techno lushness
  • Sleepless Crew - Spell House (Dalriada Limited) - squelchy acid pumping party goodness
  • Various - Music Volume 3 (Benbecula) - the long awaited follow up to the Music series - Frogpocket, Christ., Greenbank and more - still to hear this myself but I’m sure it’ll be class.

New Christ. album coming up on Benbecula later this year and the fourth installment from Stuff Records is due fairly soon as well. The electronic music scene in Scotland is stronger than ever on the releases front even if the clubs are dying off a bit.

Dopamine - Harsh

Thursday, November 24th, 2005

My mate Matt Dopamine has released his 2nd 12″ this week. “Harsh” on Klaus Hill’s Title Fight imprint is the follow up to his massive “Hold You” on TCR. The 12″ features the original plus a rework by Matt and Klaus Hill himself. Definitely worth checking out - you can buy it on vinyl from Juno or buy the mp3s from DJDownload.com.

Sleep Is For The Week - mp3 release

Thursday, November 3rd, 2005

Not exactly a fresh BSE album being as some of these tracks are almost 5 years old but a new collection of tracks on the mp3 for your listening. Grab them on the Sleep Is For The Week download page.

Squarepusher, Luke Vibert & Cassette Boy in Glasgow

Tuesday, October 25th, 2005

I don’t tend to get too excited about clubs/gigs these days but this one has got me going. I’ve never made it to see Squarepusher before and last time I heard Luke Vibert playing out was 9 years ago so I’m definitely going to make it to this one. I heard the new Cassetteboy album at the weekend and whilst I wasn’t entirely concentrating on it, it sounded good. A top top line up!
