Another record by Steve Harris and I (aka Atlantic Conveyor), 'Nasty Things' "broke" us (a rather grandiose term perhaps) by getting played by Gilles Peterson, Zane Lowe, Rob Da Bank, Groove Armada... You name 'em. Still sounds ok today (we wrote it in 2003) to my ears. It features Brother Jay on vocals. http://www.headsdown.org/

Atlantic Conveyor 'Nasty Things' (Untracked Recordings)

Part 1 of the live recording of one of my favourite Body Electric parties ever at Club 121. My guest Cian is a straight up legend in Aotearoa- the Body Electric dancers found out why that night... This warm up set is very special and set the stage for the entire night! The atmosphere was absolutely electric; it was one of those nights where everything came together magically... a packed house full of openminded dancers and this kind of indefinable euphoria in the air- I can't quite describe it!

The legendary Italo Disco DJ contacted me on Soundcloud last week(!) with a link to this, his brand new DJ mix. It's a Heads Down exclusive, so enjoy...

Flemming Dalum 'The Early Days Of Italo Disco' DJ Mix

A few days ago one of our favourite people Vish (shout outs to DJ Vee) came around to see us and a party ensued. It was late, it was messy, it was (best believe) SUPER fun… and I DJed. Vee asked “can you record it?”, I said “no promises” and these are the results. There’s some reassuringly dodgy mixing and the occasional head-scratching transition (it’s a house party right?!) but overall it’s a really good time. The thing I like about it is it’s nothing like my club sets and feels a bit loosey goosey... In a good way. Happy new year humans.X

"The Night Vee Came To Party" Vinyl-Only Mix

Mixed by Heads Down's Christopher Tubbs to celebrate the summer's classic fortnightly residency at Caravan at Exmouth Market, the selection takes you on a Balearic journey through the likes of Idjut Boys, Young Marco,  Major Lazer and beyond.

Christopher Tubbs' Caravan 'Une Nuit De Voyage' Mix

Detroit Ghettotech producer Mr De' shows his deep, soulful side and the results are amazing. Read about it at http://www.headsdown.org/

Mr De' 'Please Believe It'

This has been a secret weapon of mine for a long, long time. It's a stone cold killer from 1999 by Tomas Freyr Hjaltason, and feels oh so right in this cosmic leftfield era. Pretty much every time I play it out someone will come up and ask what it is.

Tommi White 'We, The Unexpected' (Oblong)

The fifth and final Caravan mix for 2012, and the eighth in the much-loved series which begun last year.

Final night of the sessions is this Saturday, November 24th at Caravan Exmouth in London. Will see more than a few of you there no doubt!

Lindstrom & Christabelle 'Baby Can't Stop' (Aeroplane Dub)(Feedelity)

A new vinyl-only mix for my wife Tamara, who still manages to be a calm, strong and compassionate wife and mother even through the pressures of these crazy times. You are incredibly appreciated. This is a pretty varied mix: it features everything from deep dub vibrations to lovers rock to Japanese electronica... All the way through to Norwegian house- Phew! It's very much in the vein of my old Caravan mixes, if that means anything to you:)

A Mix For Tamara

It's with great pleasure we announce the return of Christopher Tubbs' Heads Down Sessions to Caravan Exmouth on Saturday, May the 4th, 2013. 

6 hours of Balearica, disco, leftfield soul and a plethora of the weird and wonderful played to a gastrosonic crowd fuelled by some of the best tapas style cuisine and cocktails in London.

2012 was the highest point so far for this summer-celebrating ritual of all things pleasurable, with one of the most ridiculous closing parties of the year. 

This is the first mix from Christopher Tubbs for 2013 and number 9 in a series that has become a staple for 'back to mine' warriors everywhere...

Christopher Tubbs' Caravan 'Nouveau Départ' Mix

It's with great pleasure we release mix number 2 for 2013, and Christopher Tubbs' tenth in the series.

If you haven't been in person to the Heads Down Sessions at Caravan, it's 6 hours of Balearica, disco, leftfield soul and a plethora of the weird and wonderful played to a gastrosonic crowd fuelled by some of the best tapas style cuisine and cocktails in London.

The next Caravan session is tomorrow, Saturday June the 17th at 6pm.
