Holidays, Hostage and Beards.

I've had a really eventful last week or so, which has resulted in me not checking my emails for said amount of time....only to find some gems hidden amongst the... errrrr... other stuff.

To explain...

The first part of the week was spent in Brighton where I span a liquid Drum & Bass set in the corner of a quiet bar on Valentines Day...needless to say everyone was elsewhere getting their dicks and tits sucked....the staff enjoyed it though.

After that I shot up to London to go to a J Dilla tribute gig on the anniversary of his sad passing, only to find out that everyone else had the same idea, and Cargo was ram packed - which made it harder to take when I couldn't get in after waiting for tiiiiiiiiiiiiiiime.

However, all this was made up for after spending the weekend in Barcelona. Very debaucherous time there which consisted of lots of alcohol, partying and 90,000 upset Barcelona fans after watching their team lose in the Barcelona derby against Espanyol...who are rock bottom of the table...right good watching a game in the Nou Camp though... ANYWAY...

There are my excuses, and they are good ones...so NERRR.

Although the following mix has already been blogged elsewhere, I'm going to post it here as Mr. Hostage has taken the time to send his stuff over to me. That's how I roll.

BONUS TRACK +++++


BRAND NEW FRESH TRACK FROM THE MAN LIKE HOSTAGE!!!!
HOSTAGE – ELEPHANT (320kbps)

Here's a bit of an explanation from Hostage himself...
"My new tune is some pretty hard, bit more experimental, ravehouse, but with wobbles and hoovers still, but a bit different again. It's not so much a party jam, more a dark paranoid barrage of beats. This is not for an EP or release so happy to let people just have this one"


Lovely bloke.

Oh and to finish off from what I alluded to in the title of this post...I have grown a beard over half term. r8 spread.
