9 in 1 (50)

Right, so I made this playlist a while ago, then got sick and then got depressed. Trying to work my way out of it, trying to get back on with things like a used to, fake it till you make it. 

So I'm here posting this list. It's not ordered (yes, I try and sequence the playlist usually, surprising I know). I can't remember where I came across these tracks. But it's a post. A step forwards. A half-step?

Great way to mark a half-century of 9 in 1. 

50 not out, baby!

DJ Pirna - It Smells Like Bootyhole On Mars... Bring Me Back To Earth!

NGL, this is mainly in here for the title. Intergalactic ghettotech?

Altern 8 - E-Vapor-8

Ye olde rave music from 1992 with the hoover sounds and straight lifts of Derrick May and the well budget video.

John B - Up All Night

I've bought a couple of Concrete Junglist t-shirts recently and I thought I should really dive back in and listen to some D'n'B. 

Probably showing my age here, but my first thought was Radio 1 and seeing what the new stuff sounded like.

As you can see I've posted an old Metalheadz track from 2001 rather than anything new because what I heard on the Radio 1 Drum'n'Bass show was absolute shite. It all sounded like trance with really brittle drums. There was no weight or grit or heft. I swear one of the tracks was a Tiesto remix. Proper old man shouts at clouds moment for me.

Marie Davidson - Sexy Clown

Do you know what, the more Marie Davidson I hear, the more I dig it. Feels quite early 00s electroclash coded, y'know?

SCNTST - Basement Structure

This crunchy doof-doofer was a deep SD card pull-up. Not-played and shuffle and here we are. MP3s will never die.

And what to do you know, when adding a label to this post, I clocked that I posted about this SCNTST track before, back in 2013.

We go again.

Arthur Russell - Let's Go Swimming (Gulf Stream Dub)

I was getting our stuff together to take the boy to his swimming lesson and Let's Go Swimming came on the radio. I'm not sure which version, so here's Gulf Stream Dub.

Christopher Cross - Ride Like The Wind

Yacht yacht yacht.

SOPHIE - Immaterial

Just joyous.

Shabazz Palaces - Swerve... the reeping of all that is worthwhile (Noir not withstanding)

Another SD card shuffle throw-up. Hip hop from another planet.
