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.

DJ Sneaks # 19 - Dark Sky - XLR8R Mix
Ok, so not a "fresh" mix here today but one that your attention should be brought too if you haven't had the pleasure of hearing it yet. Its also accompanied by a very fresh pair of kicks.
If you're not on too Dark Sky yet you have been hiding your head under and very heavy rock. The trio consisting of Matt Benyayer, Tom Edwards and Carlo Anderson had a huge 2011 and have hit 2012 at full speed. Releases on Blunted Robots, 50 Weapons and Ninja Tune to name a few have secured them as one of the strongest new London acts around and there doesn't seem to be any plan to slow down.
For this edition of DJ Sneaks we thought we'd post Dark Sky's mix for XLR8R from back in July 2011. Firstly because the boys are so busy that getting a fresh mix out of them is a serious task and secondly it is a mix that should not be missed, voted number 7 in the XLR8R poll of 2011 mixes it definitely needs a second airing.
The mix lays down a good element of Dark Sky's club sets which are never the same, seeming to play to the moment with each of the members influences taking things from Chicago house to techno, Future dub (dare we say that?) to heavier steppers but never seeming to loose control of what they do well, bump up the rave. Saying that the art of the mix tape also pushes through perfectly in this selection plus there's a big slab of their own material cracked in for good measure. Check the original post here for download, track listing and Streaming.
We caught up with Tom from Dark Sky for a quick afternoon pint at the superb Market Porter public house in Borough as well as a brief chat about his fresh kicks and what's coming up for Dark Sky.
The Sneaks.....
A very classy pair of what i think is the most tasteful Nike Air Max silhouette. The Air Max 1.
First released in 1987, Tom's pair shown below in the fore ground are the Black/White/Solar Flare colour way with him toning down the kicks nicely with a dark lace choice.
O - So Tom, tell us something about your kicks.
T - I like my kicks aired to the max and i got them on EBay.
O - Would you say you're an Air Max 1 kinda guy?
T - Hell yeah, right now they're my favorite kicks about.
O - And what's new with Dark Sky over the next few Months.
T - Well, we've got our forthcoming EP called " Black Rainbows" dropping on Black Acre in March. Gig wise we've got the Trouble Vision weekender coming up on Friday in London (27th Jan) which we're very excited about. We're also playing the Hush House take over at Mint Club Leeds next Tuesday (24th Jan) which should be another good one.
O - Cheers for the words Tom.

DJ Sneaks #12 Mr Solid Gold + Trouble Vision Carnival Warm up Party
And we're back!
Sorry for the lack in posts over the past 2 weeks. We have been off gallivanting in Croatia at the amazing Stop Making Sense Festival and what a time we had. Massive love to the Stop Making Sense crew for having us and the Trouble Vision family along. We'll be posting a little review with some pics, videos and hopefully the radio show we recorded live on the beach stage for London Fields Radio as soon as i can track it down.
So, on to today's latest DJ Sneaks mix from our very own Trouble Vision boss man Mr Solid Gold aka Christopher Gold.
The Kicks
A seriously fresh pair of Nike Air Max 1s have been hanging out on Mr Solid Gold's feet recently, all out black definitely looks good on the Air Max 1s, keeps them club fresh and are a little rarer than this summers in your face colour schemes in the same model. The pic below in standard Mr Solid Gold style snapped straight from the office on a right foot only tip as he's busily thinking up London's next club smashing line up.
In his words- " OK, So yeah the Air Max 1s offer premium comfort, while not sacrificing any style. Its a win win with these puppies."
The Mix
A true purveyor of sound and party, Mr Solid Gold has put together a selection of summer beauts.
I'll let you take in his words again for a wee bit of what it's all about.
"It's basically a selection of some of the tunes i've been playing over the summer, from grimey clubs to beautiful countryside. Recorded totally live (no monkey business) with some old and some new, its basically a real mixture."
Get on the Soundcloud Player below for a refreshing ear journey as well as the download link and track listing below that.

DJ Sneaks #10 Park Ranger - Stop Making Sense Festival mix
Back again today with an extremely good mix from our fellow Trouble Vision resident and brother from another mother Park Ranger.
Keeping in with the rave ridden kicks theme, Park Ranger has sent us a snap of his bounced in Pointer Mathieson's . Not to clued up on Pointer as a brand myself but from the pic below the Mathiesons are a fresh looking pair and have done well to look this smooth after the sessions they have been dragged through. A classic high top style with a wheat canvas and premium suede upper pulls off these alternative kicks nicely. Definitely a pair for someone wanting a high quality high top trainer but not wanting to go with the usual Nike or Adidas option.
This is what Park Ranger had to say about them: "The Sneakers were bought because they were expensive, i had some money from djing the night before and was out with a lady, so tried to impress her by buying some expensive shoes, i thought this might work as she works in a shoe shop - i really hope she doesn't read this"
Park Ranger's Mix.
This summer Trouble Vision will be making its first trip overseas hosting a beach party and boat party at Stop Making Sense Festival (12th, 13th, 14th of August) in Croatia. We are ridiculously excited to be joining in with the fun alongside artists including Midland, Floating Points, Jack Master and of course the whole Trouble Vision family. Trouble Vision long player Park Ranger has put together the latest mix in the SMS warm up series just to tease you in to booking that flight and making your way out for what is looking to be one of the best weekend of the summer.
In typical Park Ranger style the mix is floor less building up throughout and keeping things in a suitably summer state of mind. Definitely worth downloading and keeping this one as it will come in very handy for those summer park sessions over the upcoming weeks.
Check out the mix on the Soundcloud player or Mixcloud Player below as well as an exclusive peak at the track list. I've also slipped in a picture of Stop Making Sense festival from last year to try and entice you in to joining us......Go on, you know you want to.

Hear No Evil and Oonst launch Party @ XOYO London + Kenton Slash Demon Mix
The time has finaly come. Two Months ago after 4 years of our monthly party Superfilth we decided to close up shop and concentrate on new projects, and that new project is now ready for lift off.
Oonst our (Robin, Myself and Mr Arrowstothesky) new party launches tomorrow night (Friday 6th May 2011) at London's superb space XOYO. Oonst will be launching in room two with room one being in the highly trained hands of London based Music Consultancy Hear No Evil.
And what a line up we have to look forward to. Heading up room 1 Ninja Tunes signed Austrian keyboard wizkid Dorian Concept will be performing live, Showcasing his new material on Ninja Tune and Affine Records. Other room one heavyweights include Night Slugs signed Mosca, Hear no evil producers Si Begg and Throwing Snow... two producers taking things over in their respective electronic scenes right now and more importantly for this post as we have been sent a superb mix over by them.... Danish Duet Kenton Slash Demon.
Oonst in Room two alongside us and Arrowstothesky we welcome the exceptional sounds of DJ/ Producer Deadboy, a set from Trouble Vision head boy Mr Solid Gold as well as a smooth opening session from selector extraordinaire Guy Rolfe.
We also have a cheeky concessions list available so email your names over to guestlist@hearnoevil.tv for cheap entry. Drinks will be a meager £2 from 9 - 10:30 in the Oonst room for the early arrives so drop in and sup wussup.
Kenton Slash Demon Mix.
Copenhagen based, Kenton Slash Demon's sound is both organic and futuristic and goes way beyond the confines of standard dance music. German music magazine De:Bug has describe it as "house music as Indian free jazz opera" which goes some way towards explaining why such varied DJs/producers as Claude Von Stroke, Hot Chip, Gold Panda and Brodinski count themselves as fans.
The mix below was put together as podcast number 44 in the Trace a Line website series. A seriously eclectic mix of high end dance and electronic music. Make sure you download it and get a listen in preparation foir tomorrow night.
Also check out the below video for the Kenton Slash Demon Track "Sun". One of my personal favorites from the duo. Smooth as fu*k summer house and clearly demonstrating another card to their eclectic production pack without compromising their more intellectual production sound. The video features iPhone footage of a one of Kenton Slash Demons Swedish shows.
And for those that can make it, see you tomorrow at XOYO.
