Agent M has been at it again…No, not stealing the fried chicken (this time!), but recording another mix for you listen to. The mix, entitled “Ghetto Breakfast“, was recorded early one morning at Blunt HQ on the spur of the moment.

Erbalist decided to cook breakfast for the assembled few (big ups to lock-out Jah soldier ball-’ead Barry!) while M provided the tunes. Luckily enough, the bacon-eaters had the foresight to hit the Record button. Continue reading…

Just a quick heads up people…We’re out and about, with our record boxes in tow this weekend. The full Blunt Beats family will be at Melting Pot at Charlie Browns, Midland Rd, Luton. The club is literally staggering distance from the main line rail station, taxi ranks, and handy food outlets!

Melting Pot is a good old-fashioned rock and roll night, with guest live bands, and Melting Pot resident DJs. Check out the Melting Pot Myspace site for more details. There’s 3 bands on the line up at this gig - Delphian Complex, Broken Dolls, and Kamikaze Pilots. It’s a 9pm start, and goes on ’til very late. It’s 4 quid before 11 - more after.

However, then fun for us is going to be in the other room… - All the Blunt Beats DJs will be in attendance, and we’ll be dropping the finest in soul, funk, disco, hip hop, reggae, and whatever else we see fit, complimenting the live element of Melting Pot very nicely. Top stuff. We’ll see you there. Enjoy it. We will.

We’ll be live from the Hat Factory (Bute St, Luton) on the first Wednesday of the month, starting on the 7th February. Entrance is free, there’s a licenced bar, and we run from 8pm ’til midnight. Tunes will be provided from the Blunt Beats resident DJs, and the whole night will be streamed LIVE via Level 1

Did I say it’s free to get in, and there’s a licenced bar????

In order to celebrate both the New Year, and Ra’s Garvey’s birthday in a true blunted fashion, the Erbalist and Mr Garvey had a word with Stelios and his big orange flying machine and headed off to Amsterdam. What follows is a report from the Erbalist on the events (and blunts!) that followed.

Straight off the plane & whisked along by rail to Amsterdam’s Central station, then by foot to Barney’s for breakfast, stopping off at the Pink Floyd coffeeshop to get some special ingredients to go along with breakfast. A great way to start new years eve… Continue reading…

We’ve been keeping the beats tight, and the grooves funky, as we start off 2007 here in the Blunt HQ recording bunker. Erbalist has been busy recording 2 fresh mixes for your audio pleasure. Continue reading…

I’ve been pottering around here at HQ, and have just finished a drum and bass/old skool mix. Entitled “Jumpers For Goalposts”, this is a collection of big tunes and white labels from across the years. Continue reading…

That’s right. You did read the title correctly. Now you can listen to a continual stream of of mixes from the Blunt Beats crew and special guests, whenever you please. Continue reading…

We’ve been spending a lot of time here at Blunt HQ, doing not a lot over the past few weeks, except eating turkey and dozing on the sofa. (we’re not knocking it, neither!!!) This, in turn, has seen us settle down to enjoy yet more random films and documentaries. So, because we’re nice, we thought we’d let you take a look at whats being shown on the Blunt Goggle (or should I say Google?) box. Continue reading…
