Blunt Beats at Bar Absolute – the playback

It’s a bit late, but better than not at all. Here’s the tracklist for parts two and three of last Wednesday’s Groundbeat session, liver from Bar Absolute.

After a few initial teething problems we got things ironed out and some smooth jazz influenced tunes were spun. This was the first of what could be many at this stylish new venue, so keep your eyes peeled for more dates. The download has been available since last Thursday, and will still be on our Radio page until this Thursday. So if you haven’t grabbed it yet, you’ve only got a couple of days left to do so.

Groundbeat live from Bar Absolute (Tonight!)

The decks at Bar Ab

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.”)

Uncharted playback Jan 2010

So the journey continues and the charted DnB universe gets a little bigger. Marcus and myself carefully selected the soundtrack for a 4 hours of space travel and, it’s been caught in the can so you can listen again at your leisure.

A definite highlight is Marcus’ hour-long mix of releases from the seminal Labello Blanco. A full tracklisting is below and you’ll find the download link is on our Radio page so get it while it’s hot!

Into Uncharted Territory Once More

It’s time once more for Blunted space cadets Doug and Marcus Hurley to pull out their finest drum and bass and breakbeat recordings, and lead you towards another musically Uncharted Territory, on tonight’s live radio show.

Best make the marmalade sandwiches, this little journey could take a while. (It’ll take 4 hours in fact…from 8pm UK time until midnight.)
