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!

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.

The title of this post perfectly describes next weeks live Allsorts radio show. All manner of beats, hooks and breaks, blended together by Blunt Residents Marcus Hurley, Doug, and J. Seriously, you can expect all kinds of stuff. This one does exactly what it says on the tin.

We always enjoy playing this show here at HQ, as it gives total freedom, with no restrictions, to play whatever we damn well please. Pretty much anything goes. And usually does. But don’t take my word for it, check out some of the previous Allsorts tracklisting posts to see exactly what I mean.

Last nights Smoking Behind The Bike Sheds live radio show from Blunt HQ was certainly entertaining! - All sorts of music from across the years and genres, reflecting our respectful youthful memories. DJs at the controls for this trip down memory lane were Blunt residents Marcus Hurley and Agent M, joined by Special Guest Oli Twizzle.

Big thanks go out this week to our special guest DJ Oli (Mr. Twizzle) for a superb mish-mash of quality beats, just for us. A very special thank you also goes to J for taking care of some technical issues of G Hurley’s, and effectively allowing the show to go ahead by the skin of it’s teeth. Ras Pizzler saves the day once more.

Anyway. A full tracklisting is below, and you can download the whole show for the next 7 days via our radio page. Nice.

It’s that time once more when we use our live radio show to delve back into our musical pasts. Cringeworthy in some places. Classic in others.

What I’m going on about is the fact that tomorrows radio show sees the return of “Smoking Behind The Bike Sheds“.

For those of you who aren’t in the know, this is where the Blunt residents, and our guests, take you on a long and winding journey through the tunes of our youth. Stuff we loved. Stuff we hated. Stuff that we just remember from that time. Stuff we went out and got ourselves. Stuff we were given. Stuff we were forced to listen to. Stuff we weren’t allowed to listen to. Whatever. It’s all there.

On this show, Marcus Hurley and Agent M will be joined by special guest (good to have you back at HQ amigo) Oli (of Oli Twizzle fame), who will be joining the gang in selecting personal, indulgent tunes, from a simpler time. Jumpers for goalposts, anyone?

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.
