Meeting My Maker

Daisy - Day Off

a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who made it down, it was lovely to see so many good friends, hardcore regulars & new faces at the last ever Keep It Unreal Music Box night. The club was rammed all night, and the atmosphere was incredible. I enjoyed playing loads of favourites from the many nights at the Music Box, and it was great to see everyone getting down to a 6 hour selection of soul, funk, gospel, jazz, african, latin, disco, reggae, hip hop, dubstep, disco, deep house, & old school electro. Thank you so much to everyone for all their kind words, and we look forward to the first night at the Band on the Wall on November 28th. Special shout to Tim Ellis, Paul, JB, Bernard, Dean, Rich, Laura, Amber & the rest of the Music Box staff for the last 9 1/2 years, to Clare & Anthony in the tea shop, the Oxjam ladies, Jimla for the decoration, Jim for the visuals, and Ben for the all important sound. Onwards & upwards!!!

Mr Scruff live DJ mix from 'Keep It Unreal' at the Music Box, Manchester, Saturday 3rd October 2009

rolling up over i'm open to learning again
lovely so lucky thank God cause they made me your friend
you look just like your father it hurts let me live
placing your warmth in the clouds so i never forget

then i decide i'm a bird i can fly
but if you wanna cry then i'll open the blinds
praying and holding you all through the night
i'm wishing you stillness and peace in your mind

wish you good loving all of the time
even if your body never knows mine
even if my body's melting like ice ....

something special about it

Quicksand [shǝd]

Mancunian music-maker Ellen Beth Abdi uses live loops, pokey drums, undulating synths and quietly subversive lyrics to mould her unique sound.

‘Potent and lyrical electronic soul with a social conscience. For the thinkers and the movers of this dimension and others’.

Ellen's self produced solo album is set for release next year.
