It's Not That I Dont Love You
…it’s just been a while since our last post. And that killer record by TDRMC still isn’t out.
The other night I played this edit by soho808 early on in proceedings and it sounded rather wonderful through the system. As luck would have it you can still grab a download. Gwan then. (We’ll be playing it again soon.)

Here is a very uplifting rework of Joe Smooth’s promised land by the Style council, remixed by dropout orchestra. Few downloads left so be...

Matters of the Heart 002. COLOGNE
This month we have a very special mix from Matters resident Cologne, a man with exceptional taste; and refreshingly this is recorded live with two turntables and a mixer just like the good old days. Heavy disco vibes going on here and a few darker moments.The revenge track on here is something special.Download this, transfer it to cassette for your walkman, put your rollerboots on and go look...
On the way back from Saturn
I haven’t seen the film, but the soundtrack to Another Earth is sounding pretty damn marvelous. Especially The First Time I Saw Jupiter. The whole score is composed by Fall on Your Sword, a duo from Brooklyn. And the extended version of TFTISJ - what a horrible acronymisation - is coming out on DFA very shortly. It’s atmospheric in a sci-fi film way and at the same time a little...
Bad Desire
Perfect for the afternoon after. Bruce gets the edit treatment from The Dead Rose Music Company, who give the whole thing a real Twin Peaks feeling. Lovely. And downloadable.

Friendly Fires - Hawaiian Air (T-E-E-D Remix)
I saw Friendly Fires a couple of months ago at the 9:30 club in Washington DC. Hawaiian Air was one of the new songs that stuck out live. Here Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs puts it through a sort of old-skoolification machine. Bizarrely I’ll see them again tomorrow night at Montreux Jazz Festival. They’re playing for free. Jazzy.
Take some time out
Well I was passing through Waterville in the outskirts of the outskirts of somewhere in Maine and I happened upon a record shop. Here I acquired a lovely record for one measly dollar. YES. Back on Mare Street I let it play, and it transported me straight to 1987. But in the future. Strange. I tried it in Geneva and it had the same effect. You should try it too. It’s Take some time...

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who came down to Matters of the Heart last night in Dalston. And to Luke Weaver and Lewis Clark for joining us at the helm. Here’s one I didn’t get the chance to play.

This Amazing mix from London based and Matters’ favourite Tape to Tape opens up a 6 pack of whoop-ass on the January blues. This is a bit more slammin’ that we’re used to from T2T but by no means is that a bad thing, personal highlights are Bxentric, Hercules and Love affair and Pop and Eye but the whole thing delivers tune upon impeccable tune.I don’t even know if that...
