Keep It On The Low

Sorry for the delay folks - I have a pretty good excuse... I've been to Creamfields! Woop. Yes, it was amazing, thanks for asking. As you can see from the photo above I met some pretty cool people. There's me on the left, next to Herve, and Switch just second in from the right. Not bad ey? It was about 10mins before Switch's set in the Bugged Out! Tent.
Highlights for myself included Skream & Benga, Herve, Switch, Noisia, Andy C, Matrix & Futurebound, 2manydjs, Underworld, and rather surprisingly Tiesto. I don't like trance, but the sheer magnitude of that show and the vast amount of people in what must be the biggest tent in the world was quite amazing! Needless to say, I got my wonk on all weekend and had a blast.

New tune time. Yeah so just before I headed out to Creamfields I made a new tune as Roland Dubbs. It's full-on dancefloor wobble business and it's called "Keep It On The Low" - you can get it here...

Your Boyfriends Are Called Neil

Neil Middleton and Neil Ramjee are making waves. Partly because they DJ regularly in the seaside town of Bournemouth, but mainly because they are an exciting and adventurous DJ tag-team who spin sublime 'electro-n-anything-goes' and throw big-ass parties across the south of the UK! Did you know.... Your Boyfriends Are DJ's?

Neil M. hails from Lichfield, and Neil. R from Surrey, both now based in Salisbury, Wiltshire. I first met Neil M. through a mutual friend, and after regularly exchanging great music over the net I managed to make it down to one of his club nights - 'Dirty Boots'. dB was an indie clubnight at The Barn (notice how I say 'was'), and at it's peak it played host to the likes of The Holloways and The Duke Spirit. After much success over the years the boys decided to hang up their boots on a high and push things forward with Your Boyfriends Are DJ's (YBAD). Dirty Boots died, but it's spirit lived on through YBAD.

Very recently YBAD threw a HUGE free rave at their old haunt 'The Barn', and having seen the photo's and heard the feedback I can tell you these boys mean business. Definitely check the photo's on their facebook group and on their myspace page. They are also the best places to keep upto date with all their moves and the only place to check out their mixes!

They currently DJ regularly at The iBar and 60 Million Post Cards, both in Bournemouth, but their newest adventure begins this Sunday (August 10th) courtesy of radio station Deep Blue FM. For the first time it will be broadcasting live from Your Boyfriends Are DJ's @ iBar. So from 9pm - 11pm on Sunday night turn on, tune in and bug out to the sounds of Your Boyfriends...! (You never know, they may even play some Roland Dubbs joints ;)

Your Boyfriends Are DJ's - 4 Free Mini Mixes

His Swan Song...

Ok, so after a successful first couple of months on the taRDyboy front with mp3's and mixes flying off the proverbial shelves, the time has come for me to introduce you to the stylings of an upcoming producer/dj... or maybe more specifically - 'Laptop Twiddler'! (Refer to Photo!)

His name is BoB SwanS (irregular capitalisation deliberate!), and he has sent me a tonne of mixes and mp3's for you guys. See, it really is that simple! Send stuff/I like stuff/I 'big up' stuff!

BoB is based in Manchester and plays out both locally and nationally! He DJ's vinyl, CD's and the odd C90 cassette, and produces with Ableton Live and various other bits of kit. He is part of the musical collective - THE NYMPHO YOUTH CLUB, and runs a Facebook group that you are more than welcome to join! For more information on BoB SwanS visit his myspace.
