Eat It Up

Soul Food

Yep, this weeks radio sees a more-than-healthy portion of our Soul Food radio show being delivered straight from the hotplate.

Serving up the hip hop, funk, and breaks will be Blunt resident Doug, along with not one, but two (!) very special (and exclusive) guest sets from DJ Prolifik, and Mr Phipson.

This one’s sure to be tasty, and have you coming back for seconds.

Nicely Rinsed (but not blue-rinsed)

Last night’s A.F.R.O. radio show was certainly a top-notch collection of tunes, broadcast from Casa Cleanface. Heavyweight drum and bass, breaks, and dubstep were the order of the night, with a blinder of a set from our good friend and special guest Seizmic, alongside Blunt Residents Agent M and Marcus Hurley.

A (partial) tracklisting is below. (I’ve had a terrible internet connection today which hasn’t helped matters, and I’m waiting for some emails regarding the other tunes played. I’ll update this post as and when I get the info)

Dont forget all of the show is available for download for the next 7 days via the listen again feature on our radio page. Nice.

Moonstompin’ Tribute to the late, great Alton Ellis

Last nights Moonstompin’ radio show certainly live up to its name, with plenty of skankin’ sounds from our own Agent M, and guest DJ Matty J, who took you on a top quality ska and rocksteady journey.

Our special thanks go out once again to guest Matty J, who, aside from airing some top-notch original recordings, and playing a blinding set, he also took time out to pay a musical tribute to the “Godfather Of Rocksteady“, the late, great, Alton Ellis, who died recently. R.I.P Alton, and well done Matty, for a fitting tribute. (you can read a copy of Alton’s obituary from The Times here)

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

A Little Extra Moonstomp

As you’ll have noticed from my previous post, this weeks radio show sees the return of our ska and rocksteady night, Moonstompin‘. It also sees the retutn of our good friend and spot-on DJ, Matty J.

Just to get you in the mood, I thought I’d post a link to one of Matty’s previous Moonstompin sets, for you to download and listen to, here. This was recorded live on the night of transmission.

This set is in our 24/7 mix loop. For those of you that are unaware, we have a loop of mixes from ourselves, guests, and good friends that runs when our radio shows are off-air. You can access this at any time via our radio page.

Time To Moonstomp


Right then. You’d better get the braces out of the drawer, run an iron over that Ben Sherman, and lace up your cherry reds.

This weeks radio show sees the return of our Moonstompin night. Straight up ska, rocksteady, and skankin’ sounds from Resident Blunt Selector Agent M, with a 2 hour exclusive mix from our speical guest, the “ska-meister” Matty J.

Expect lots of rarities, classics, and scratchy wax, in a reggae style!

Blunt Beats Radio presents Moonstompin’. Live from 8pm UK time. Wed 22nd October. With Djs Agent M, and Matty J.

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.

Pieces And Bits of Hits

Allsorts

Tomorrows live radio show sees another hefty portion served from our musical mixing-pot that is Allsorts. As you should know by now, on this night (musically), anything goes. From dub, to funk, to jungle, to hip hop, to jazz. Whatever. It’s an opportunity for our DJs to be totally indulgent, and play whatever they like. (while maintaining quality control, I might add!)
