Justin Martin - Don't Go (Dusky Remix)

Dusky does it again with another cheeky remix. This time they show Justin Martin's Don't Go a bit of their melodic magic love. Justin lays the foundations for an already very uplifting and orchestral track while Dusky gives it the energy to deliver that punch. Love the harp and bass. Released 16/10 from Justin Martin - Ghettos & Gardens Remixes Vol. 1 on dirtybird If you like this check out SIDEXSIDE tomorrow at CRUCIFIX LANE where dirtybirds Justin Martin and Redlight will be playing. Tickets are close to sold out!

Ben Howard - The Fear (Moonlight Matters Rework)



Well this is a refreshing track, a rework of Ben Howards acoustic original, this is chipry and feel good so much so that it isntantly strikes a chord with the listener. The second half on the track builds slowly to a explosion of happiness, like the end of a hollywood feel good film but better.

Moonlight Matters cleary knows his stuff as this rework is seamless.

Solid Fix - A brand new mix


A mix that sounded better last night after a few than it does in the cold light of day to be perfectly honest with you. This is a first recording of off my spanking new control panel.

However after a shakey start it becomes a brilliant mixtape of all of my favourite tunes at the minute. Treat yo Self.

Track list after the bounce.

Chvrches - The Mother We Share


I really really like Churches or Chvrches as they need to be spelt when you search then on the internet that they had these days. I found out about them when I went to a gig at Camden Koko and they were supporting a headliner act.

They are a synth band with a whole lot about them and here is a remix that someone did for them. Listen if you want.

Other Media - Killing Them Softly

Look at Brad Pitt's right hand. That's been on Jolie's boobs.

Killing Them  Softly is a film which has left me feeling slightly empty. Usually I come out of a cinema feeling either elated for having seen something brilliant that I can’t wait to tell everyone about, or full of horrible wanky scathing sarcasm that I can vent over the airwaves on Reprezent. This film though. It smacks of ‘meh’
.
Set during the lowliest of the low points of economic downturn and to the soundtrack of speeches from the US Presidential elections of 2008, It tells the story of a pair of low rent criminals who are tasked by their boss to rob a high stakes poker game.  Trouble inevitably ensues, and various hitmen are called upon to murder various people in various ways over various days. Pretty standard stuff, and I guess that’s why I feel pretty underwhelmed by the whole thing. It’s not exactly territory that’s never been touched before, and the story seems like it should have a black comedy feel to it along the lines of Slevin or maybe even something Guy Ritchie threw together while not sweeping chimneys. It’s played so straight though that it’s almost disjointed – and while the film is really brilliantly directed (one death scene in particular is captivating. Who could have known a bullet to the face could look so appealing?) and every single performance is flawless, you just know what’s round the corner at every turn.

Look out for yet another brilliant performance from James Gandolfini as an alcoholic New York hitman struggling to get the job done due to his own demons - one of the 2 most interesting characters who are criminally underused. Other than that, will someone PLEASE throw a pie?
