So, the weekend (and pay day for a lot of people) has finally come round. And unfortunately due to a mad list of things to do before 6pm we haven't got a big post for you today. Hold tight for a bag of new mixes coming in next week including a DJ Sneaks from Too Many Ts (taking us on a wee UK hip hop tip).
For those of you heading to Trouble Vision tonight and/or tomorrow night we'll see you there. It's looking to be a massive one to kick off 2012 and i am more than excited.
We're going to leave you with something fresh and smooth to ease you in to a weekend of sweaty warehouses and noisy beats.
I had the pleasure of meeting this dude last night and he's also joining us for his first UK rave adventure tonight. Jake Kost is over visiting the UK from his home lands of Portland Oregon, US of A.
Turns out he writes a few words here and there and has also put those word down over some very smooth beats and produced a couple of pretty cool videos to go with them. It's definitely rare to hear new US hip hop of this quality over in the UK these days as the flow of major label mush and over produced rubbish is all up in our faces. The influences of acts like People Under The Stairs and The Pharcyde sadly no longer grace the ipods of todays average British youths.
Anyway, ease it all in with a listen of the below and we'll catch you on the other side. If you like the videos check out his Soundcloud here and show some love.
Safe weekends.

Mid week tunage
Mid week boredom has set in hard however the weekend is almost upon us so there is light at the end of tunnel.
Just a couple of tunes for you to listen to today to lift your spirits and get your leg shake on. One old one new. The first is a classic from Cobblestone Jazz "Dumptruck". Been far too long since we've played this in our sets and a tiny synth bleep in our second tune of the day reminded me of the tracks greatness and has made me promise myself it will go back in the sets for the upcoming month of party.
Bringing us nicely on to our second tune of the day and new comer track piece to the party is this superb release from Maceo Plex "Falling". Heard this on Joe Ransoms Kiss show on Thursday night but due to my sieve like memory it had slipped my mind, fortunately Dr Solid Gold aka Mr Trouble Vision himself was good enough to crack this on his Facebook wall to remind me of the importance of alerting people to this future summer classic!
The Mp3 is forthcoming on the Visionquest label (or out now on 12" in all good stores). Falling is the opener for the Visionquest Beach Spring Summer 2011 Ep and a seeeeeriously groove ridden summer slice of laid back pie. Have a listen below and go buy it.
