As most of you know, things don’t always run too smoothly in life and the last week in BluntWorld™ has been no exception. The search for a new Blunt HQ continues, as does the headache that comes with trying to find a vaguely decent place to live!

On top of all this, our very own Agent M has landed himself in a spot of hospital related drama, currently residing in our local krankenhaus sporting some lovely DVT stockings and some delightful plaster-on-limb action….

I know I’m labouring the point now, but, we’re in the middle of moving studio here at Blunt Beats, and our very busy chasing our tails, filling in forms, and spending money. Ouch.
Anyway, while we get ourselves sorted out, we didn’t want you good people to miss out on your Blunt Beats Radio fix.

So, what are we gonna do? - Well, we’re also conscious of the fact that it’s coming close to our 2-day festival session at Rhythms Of The World, with our Urban Picnic Sounds project.
You can access some of the other sets from last years Urban Picnic Sounds here
In order to give us some breathing space, and allow you people to enjoy some of the vibe of this belter of a festival, we’ve selected four Dj sets from the weekend, which we’re gonna broadcast tonight in our normal radio timeslot.
This isn’t some cheap get-out excuse. (Well, It is. A bit.) The recordings here are some top-notch tunes from the Blunt Beats archive. So be sure to listen, and get in the mood for Urban Picnic Soudns 2008!

You may have seen in a previous post that we’re currently moving studio/house etc. This has been a major pain in the arse to say the least. It’s also meant that we’ve been pretty busy. Therefore, we (or I) didn’t complete a tracklisting for last weeks Heavy Vibes show. Apologies for that. Things are gonna be a little disjoined until we settle into our new studio.

Anyway, massive thanks go out to our special guest Djs on the night, Benji and Roger from Baron Studio Sound, who came through with an exclusive live set of roots and culture sounds. Big ups gentlemen. Good work, and a top night was had by all. Dont forget, Baron Studio Sound will be back with us once again as guest Djs at this years Rhythms Of The World festival. We cant wait!

Next weeks live radio show sees the return of our Heavy Vibes night. Straight up roots, dancehall, and dub reggae. On this session we are joined by special guests from Baron Studio Sound, appearing at Blunt HQ for the first time, with an exclusive set for you lucky listeners.

Baron Studio Sound will also be joining us on our Urban Picnic Sounds weekender, which we’re really looking forward to! (read more about Urban Picnic Sounds here)

It’s been a while coming, but the British weather is becoming bearable, barbecues seem like a sensible way of dining, and I’ve got one eye on the next pair of fresh Adidias for the sunshine. All this can mean only one thing. The festival season is back with us. From now through ’til the end of August, you’ll find the family Blunt either working or playing at various festivals, gigs and outdoor parties.

The big one this year is our return to the Rhythms Of The World music festival in Hitchin, Hertfordshire. Essentially, this is a bloody big world music festival with a wicked vibe, and the Messers Blunt running the only DJ stage at the whole event. 2 days in the glorious sunshine, with loads of great music from all over the world, and the Blunt Beats DJs providing the beat-backdrop to the whole shebang with our Urban Picnic Sounds project.

Lets cut to the chase. Write this date down. Saturday and Sunday the 12th and 13th of July. If you can be there, you’re gonna want to be at this festival. More info and ticket details are at the Rhythms Of The World website.

Tomorrow night sees the Blunt Beats resident chefs serving up another large al a carte portion of Soul Food, live from 8pm UK time. The Erbalist, Marcus Hurley, and Agent M will be dishing out family sized portions of funk, tasty hip hop morsels, and a good heap of soul. The whole thing will be drizzled with disco cuts and jazzy flavourings, and left to simmer for 4 hours. Nice.
