New Sameheads tape release.... Number 29 in fact in the C60 series.

Another curve ball approach...

Amelia Holt and Benedikt Frey offering up a side each of some influences from the rap game.

Amelia says.
"I love hip hop. I have been digging a lot of it because I like the beats and it’s fun to blend with trip hop and downtempo tracks. I also work for a record collectors, who has an incredible hip hop collection and we spend a lot of time listening to all these records. Beyond the beats, rhythm & lyrics, hip hop has an important piece in the history of music and the city I live in. I am grateful it exists.

This mix was recorded in Texas, in my bed room early January during the holiday season."

Big thanks to both @freybenedikt & @ameliaholt

The tapes are limited and available in person at all upcoming Sameheads events or online via sending an email to info@sameheads.com

Come and snatch one.

For this episode, just in time for spring, we have a very special guest mix from James Pogson who runs the fantastic labels Symphonical and Fantasy Love Records. With both these labels James rescues underrepresented timeless music from the tides of time. Check out the three volumes of the sweet soul comps The Key To Our Love to get a taste of the depth of his work. Unmissable stuff. Expanding on his archival practice James is releasing a series of filmic portraits featuring artists from these compilations. The first is screening in Soho, London on June 22nd, check out Symphonical on IG for more info. The mix James gave us a superlative gathering of impossibly rare independent soul 45s, enjoy!

I did a mix for @riotradioshow last month (which you can hear here: https://soundcloud.com/riotradioshow/gk-machine-dj-set-on-a-quiet-riot-20th-may-2017)

The original mix I did was completely different and I wasn't 100% keen on it and decided to re-record the whole thing which involved shuffling around the order of the tracks, chop out some tracks, add new tracks until the final result was completely different from the original.

I just had a listen to it and although most of the tracks that are in this prototype mix DO appear in the final version this little section is the entire beginning of the mix, all recorded from vinyl and all four tracks dropped from the final version.

But wow, some lovely tracks....shame to have lost them.....so here they are.

Len Leise - Leaving Llucmajor
Andrea Noce & David Kristian - Be In Sync
Plankton & Defcon - Rausch
Torn Hawk - Nice Nails
