Nice tune rob. Really love your acoustic stuff. 

everytime i listen to this tune, a fuckin wild aphex twin track autoplays after, some contrast https://soundcloud.com/richarddjames/serge-fenix-rendered-2

Very nice tune. I really like your guitar playing.

People talk about Detroit as being the place that shaped the techno sound, but you don't often hear about the Belgians, who for me and many others were equally important and had their own individual and harder sound which gradually morphed through New Beat and Hard Beat to Acid, Rave, Techno and even Trance..
Here's a mix, recorded in one take on 2 technics, one of the stylus' is completely cained so apologies for any sound degradation..
These are some of my favourite New Beats to come out of Belgium in the late 80's and there are a couple of later Techno/New Beat tracks on there too.. Two tracks on this mix weren't made in Belgium, but could have been ;-) (prizes if you can name em both!)
 Enjoy !

It's impossible to talk about the sound of DjRUM without using the word cinematic. Whatever he does, it has a feeling of grand importance, widescreen elegance and moving emotion that elevates it way above a dance floor soundtrack. Throughout the course of his career, the UK artist has drawn on downtempo, blurred the lines between drum & bass and dubstep and always imbued his music with spoken words snippets, piano and chamber instruments. His Portrait With Firewood album was a real high-water mark in 2018, and last year his latest outing on R&S once again managed to draw on every aspect of electronic music and come up with something all his own. 

His mix for us this week is a perfect ethereal rave that finds plenty of beauty in the sparse rhythms he draws on from the worlds of garage, techno and drum & bass. There is a delicacy and elegance throughout, even when the beats hit hard and fast as they do at the overdriven and manic mid point. The amen breaks come thick and fast after that, but eventually melt away to propulsive ambient soundscapes that suspend you in time and space. Blissful.

my nightmares aint as bad as this, theres 10ft demons with crucifix
people dancing in cold blue light, afraid to indulge in what belongs
to the night
 awake wipe sleep from my eyes, it takes me a few to realise
this rock is sinking cast to the dephts, force fed shite with a large
side of debt

bury your heads no more (under magazines and tv screens)
for our kids and those who fought before (their pain will it have been in vain)

Im lost in a world of distraction reality shows get the major reaction
we live hard cause we feel its over get some kicks from the broken clover
It felt so surreal while the drape of the movement, drowned out the
screams of the small but the decent
a tickings still heard theres still time for the learned to reignite
flames dont be walked on

bury your heads no more (under magazines and tv screens)
for our kids and those who fought before (their pain will it have been in vain)

A fatal attraction to paper with powers, spells doome for the
followers of tricked and the cowards
the subdued are deflected while the suits get elected and these towns
they get sold down the river

that papers got powers dont you know (and those who have it run the show)
now Rumpelstiltskins been and gone ( spinning lies worth more than gold)
bury your heads no more (under magazines and tv screens)
for our kids and those who fought before (their pain will it have been in vain)
