Back On the Box

tv02.jpgWe’re a socially aware bunch here at Blunt HQ. We can’t help to notice that the evenings are getting longer, and Autumn is certainly upon us.

In order to stop you disenchanted youths hanging about in the shadows sniffing glue and waiting for a purse to rob, we thought we’d do our bit for the community at large by giving you some more televisual delights to pass the time.

Uncharted Territory October - Review and Tracklisting

Right then, all. Here’s the tracklisting from last nights drum-and-bass-tastic Uncharted Territory radio show. Unfortuately, special guest Operata M was unable to make it on the night. But worry not people. We’ll get him back again soon enough!

This meant that it was left to Blunt Residents Doug and Marcus Hurley to hold the fort with some quality dnb beats. Which they did. very well. :)

You can download the entire 4 hour show via our radio page for the next 7 days, and a full tracklisting is below.

Into The Unknown Once More

If heavy breaks and big basslines, in a drum and bass mashup kind of style are your thing, then you’ll be in for a treat with this weeks live radio show.

Blunt Residents Doug and Marcus Hurley will be musically accompanied on the night with an exclusive set from our special guest, Future Science honcho, and all-round top bloke Operata M, during our Uncharted Territory session. It’s a pleasure to have you back at the controls, M!

Expect to hear lots of classics, rarities, and white labels from across the years from these 3 DJs. If past experience is anything to go by, then the beats will be slammin’, of that I’m sure.

Blunt Beats Radio presents Uncharted Territory. 8pm UK time, Wed 16th October. DJs on the night will be Blunt Residents Doug and Marcus Hurley, with an exclusive set from special guest Operata M. www.bluntbeats.com/radio

Allsorts October review and tracklisting

Well, Allsorts certainly lived up to its name this month. Marcus G Hurley, special guest Dog Latin and myself bolted, taped, glued and nailed as many different styles as possible into a four-hour Frankenstein’s monster of a show. From Azymuth, Beastie Boys and Andy C to (He)xstatic, Yoda and Zeppelin.

Big shout to Dog Latin for an excellent and well-crafted set. If you missed it keep your eyes peeled for more from the Rogue Party crew on Blunt Beats Radio in the future, and on the Radio page you’ll find the download for the next seven days. A tracklisting of the night’s proceedings is below.
