As you may have noticed from my ramblings in the previous post, we’re currently in the middle of moving studios. So, to make life a little less hectic, and to allow you good people a further audio-esque peep into our archives, we’re going to be playing some more sets from our recent Urban Picnic Sounds outing at the Rhythms Of The World festival, on tonights radio show.

Music on this evenings show will include live recordings of Blunt Residents Marcus Hurley, Agent M, and the Erbalist. Also, 60 minutes from DJ Herb from Solution Sounds, who was a guest DJ on the weekend. Good to have you along, man!

Eventually, after a few weeks of dramas, house moves, and broken limbs, we have finally sorted ourselves out with a new studio for our radio and recording. We’ve simply integrated our office and studio (or should I say blagged some more room) through the kindness of the hearts of our good friends at Carousel Sound Lab. Thanks-you-please chaps, very much indeed, yes? :).

(Ab)normal service for our live broadcasts will be resumed next week, in our new home. Thanks as always to J for taking care of the audio archive, editing, and uploading, especially over the past few weeks which have been more than tricky. Nice one

Our journey down the long and winding road continues. This week it’s Blunt residents Agent M and the Erbalist, playing 2 hours of indulgent tunes each, for you the assembled listeners.

Expect to hear lots of hip hop, nu-jazz, and broken electronica in this session. With maybe a touch of reggae too. And, these two luddites will be experimenting with the technology you kids are down with these days. It’ll probably be as bumpy and smoke-filled as their vinyl sets, but these two old sheepdogs will popping their live laptop cherries for this show. Nice

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….

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!

Spare some change for a cup o’ tea, guv?
Sad but true, the fantastic building that was Blunt Beats HQ has been sold, and now we technically homeless. Well, thats a bit of a lie, we’re “temporarily inbetween studios”, is a better way to put it.
We’re sorting it out, but the next couple of weeks might be a bit sporadic music-wise, as we get settled into our new home (when we find it)
Needless to say, as and when we’re up to anything, we will be posting details here on the site. Bear with us through these troubles times. Normal service will be resumed once again very shortly.

Guest Dj Matty J deserves a gold star. He went home after playing his Soul Food set for us, and emailed over a HTML’d (makes our web life easier) tracklisting for the set in question. Well done mate. Much appreciated. You can now read the tracklist for the entire night here, and don’t forget you can download the entire 4 hour show via our radio page for the next 3 days!

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)
