Top Ten DnD Tunes: April 2010

Monday, April 26th, 2010

1. Secret Agent – Netsky – Hospital (Like your fave game on the Commodore 64 jamming whilst it’s loading.)

2.  Climax – Camo & Krooked – Hospital (Holy shit, I’m at the Berlin Love Parade!)

3. Fearful Symmetry – High Contrast – Hospital (You know that thing I opened up with at Matter that was like 90% done? Well now it’s 95% done hah! But at least it now has a name.)

4. You Do Scribble – Underworld & High Contrast – ? (What more can I say?)

5. Penamana - Taxman & Original Sin – Ganja (Savage halfstep jungle biz. Hilarious track name!)

6. New Technique – Nu:Tone & Logistics – Hospital (‘Sounds like 1993 to me.’ That was one of my old MCing lyrics. Peyow!)

7. Stronger - Sigma – BBK (They’re back with a stormer.)

8. Life & Music – ASMA – ? (Cool thing Roni Size sent me, an orchestral stomper.)

9. Tomorrow Like Today – S.P.Y. & Illskillz – ? (Heavy bassline groover with stepping breaks. No, really. I haven’t just inserted random buzzwords like on a promo sheet.)

10. Badred / Surprise – Culture Shock – Ram (Both sides of this 12″ deliver the goods. Really think it should be called Surprise Surprise for extra win.)

Top Ten Films of 2009

Thursday, December 31st, 2009

After much deliberation, here’s my favourite flicks of oh nine. It’s a bizarre mix of kids films and gut-punchers; arthouse and mainstream. Full contrast ahead.

10. The Hurt Locker

Too much shaky cam but still pulls off many a tense set piece of bomb disposal and the whole thing just feels hella authentic. Review here.

9. Where The Wild Things Are

The best movie without a plot all year. Jonze and Eggars have perfectly adapted a ten page childrens book into a feature length film without artificially adding some quest for treasure or some capitalist baddie who wants to knock down the hero’s neighbourhood. They’ve miraculously managed to just enlarge the essence of what was originally there, like some fractal experiment. And created their own individual work at the same time, something Watchmen perhaps should have strived for.

Top Ten DnB Tunes: October

Thursday, October 15th, 2009

There’s so many hot tracks around right now I feel compelled to make a top ten to name check the good chaps behind the music.

1. Full Circle – Bloke4d : A new duo that have a bunch of great tunes, most quite techy but this one is just pure emotional dnb. When I heard it I got straight on to the Hospital head honchos and hopefully this will come out on the NHS.
