If you like your street art you’ll surely have heard of Upfest, and if you haven’t -where the hell have you been?!?
Running since 2008 and now billed as “Europe’s largest free urban paint festival; Upfest, is now in its fourth year and is preparing to take over its cultural home Bristol by welcoming over 250 artists and 40 DJs, Groups & Human Beatboxers”, this is a fantastic event, and what’s even better it’s FREE.
Featuring live painting from big names from the national and local scenes, such as Inkie, Spqr, Cheo, Jody and Lokey alongside a multitude of others, the organisers thought you might need some music to go with the doodling, so have booked a host of talent to spin some tunes as well as l’il ole me.
I’m liking this paternity leave thing, despite the broken sleep and nappy changing, it’s given me plenty of time for tune rummaging. Still hasn’t stopped my prevaricating and posting this at almost 9pm – ah well. Still I hope the tunes are worth it! Continue reading
Yes, I know, it’s late … there is a reason though.
Charlotte Rose turned up on Tuesday night and threw all of our plans out of the window. Mum and newborn are fine, but I’ve only just worked out it’s Friday, . I blame sleep deprivation rather than the beer I was fed whilst wetting the baby’s head … Continue reading
I’ve decided it’d be nice to try and make available as many of my old Ctrl:Alt:TheBeat shows as I can for you all. A few misguided individuals have been in contact with me asking for more mixes, and I don’t currently have too many of them online, so I thought I’d try to change that
Wasn’t sure I’d be able to do this weeks Three on a Thursday due to being 0n a (very sober) baby standby, but as my wife is showing no signs of going into labour any time soon I’ve managed to grab a little alone time with the laptop (not like that you dutteh bastid) and found three corkers for you this week. Listen up!
In some sort of vague attempt to make up for the lack of a Ctrl:Alt:TheBeat recording for you this week, I was going to give you some classic Nextmen shizzle as the next in my Mixtape Madness series. Then as if to taunt me, another spanner was thrown in the works when the mix I was going to point you at was taken down so at short notice I’ve selected another for you, and it’s an absolute corker.
To be frank, I’d be slightly surprised if you didn’t know Coldcut / Journeys by DJ – 70 Minutes of Madness, as it’s probably one of the most influential mixes of the last 20 years, spawning many imitators but to my mind, never being beaten.
A little late this week, but I’m here none the less, with three very different slabs of quality tuneage for you – there’s a some 50′s-esque Funk for whet your appetite, a Ghetto Funk banger for the main course, and a slice of UK Hip hop as a sweet little finish for you.
Welcome to my digital equivalent of 221b Baker St. Here you'll find links to my sets and shows, and upcoming gigs that I'm playing.
I'll also be posting reviews, and other bits and bobs that catch my eye so if you've got a new tune, an interesting night, or just want to say hello, you can get hold of me at dj@sherlockohms.org
If you like what I do, and want to book me, email me at bookings@sherlockohms.org
