If you weren’t able to make it down to Bar Absolute in Hitchin last Friday, fear not! We got the while night in the can and it will be revisited in tonight’s Soulfood show.

Tune in from 8pm to catch sets from Morroco, Marcus Hurley and myself. Spanning hip hop, nu-jazz, funk, breaks, electro and DnB, it was a top night of tunes. Don’t miss out a second time!

I think we all agree a change is good once in a while. Even if it’s just your socks…Foot hygiene issues aside, it’s healthy to change the norm now and again.

The rambling point of this post (and rather rubbish sock reference), is to let you weblanders know that we’re taking transmission of tonight’s live radio show out of the smoky confines of Blunt HQ, and into Bar Absolute (in Hitchin, Hertfordshire) for the evenings proceedings. It’s fair to say that Bar Absolute has comfier seats and a better range of spirits than we currently have here at Blunt HQ, and they probably empty their ashtrays more often, so we’re glad they’re letting us come over for the night! (“thank you”…)

As advertised, tonight’s show will be another infamous “Groundbeat” session. Expect lots of chilled-out, jazz-influenced beats from across the genres, live from 8pm UK time. DJs will include Blunt residents, and Adam Williams, who returns to the fold once more as tonight’s guest DJ.

If you’re in the area, feel free to pop down to Bar Absolute to say hello, treat yourself to a Campari and Lucozade, and kick back to some live sounds from the family Blunt, from 8pm through until midnight.

If you’re not lucky enough to be nearby, then you can of course listen live to the whole 4 hour session via our radio page from 8pm tonight. You can do this in the comfort of your own home, without even having to change your socks. (“Socks!!! See?? I knew I’d get there in the end! Erm….I’m off for a siesta now.”)

Kit Knows brought us a heavyweight rap version of fLako’s beattape The First Spaceshit On The Moon (released spring 2009). All tracks have been transformed into full length, fully-fledged songs. By keeping the original track names and recording vocals thoughtful he kept the original flavour and made the beattape grow into something complete. Listen to the track below or download it, and more glitchy hip hop goodness, from Kwatro.info.

This is a full length album which may introduce Kit Knows to you and brings a new dimension to fLako’s First Spaceshit On The Moon.

We’re back on air at 8pm tonight, with the return of our Allsorts show. 4 hours of musical wanderings from across the genres, as chosen by Blunt residents Agent M and the Erbalist. This show is like Ronseal. It does exactly what it says on the tin (but it tastes nicer…)

Well, it is, frankly.

Instead of some seasonal pastry and Christmas CD, tune in tonight to our deep-fried, full fat, brandy-soaked Soul Food radio show. It’s far tastier. I’m sure even Delia would agree.

Live from 8pm UK time tonight, Santa’s (not so) little helpers Agent M and the Erbalist will be dishing up man-sized portions of soul, funk, hip hop, and all manner of dusty ghetto breaks.

Just the thing for a dice game on the stoop. (But, I wouldn’t bother with that in this weather….you’ll turn into a bloody snowman.)
