clubnights we love :: gilles peterson + francois k
If you missed Gilles Peterson’s Brooklyn debut last Friday, I urge you not to miss his guest spot tonight at Cielo’s Deep Space with Francois K. Truth is I danced for five hours on Friday and I’m still feeling every muscle in my legs! It was a great night of sweaty dance floor action. Tonight I’m hoping for lots of dubstep I’ve never heard before, unreleased Darkstar & Floating Points and ultimately a ride of spacey sounds that keeps me entertained for hours. See you there!
mixes we love :: 3 by martyn
Martyn’s Great Lengths has been on repeat for months and since I can’t share it with you, I searched for some of his mixes online that would at least give you a taste of what he’s up to. For years he produced drum & bass and now he’s moved his production into an “unclassifiable” realm & I couldn’t be happier. Love his work. Find more goodness on his blog 3024.

songs we love :: “free” by matsi
Matsi’s “Free” was originally featured on one of Gilles Peterson’s Brownswood Bubblers compilation CDs a couple of years back. Moni then featured the song on her “Sacred Love” mix. Then finally, I came into contact with the song last week while I was out on a morning run, listening to the mix. Then, half way through the mix, on it came.
