The first three months of the year have almost come and gone, the clocks go forward tonight and summertime is nearly upon us, in theory at any rate. Yet again the WMC has passed without my attendance even though I keep vowing to make it. The people who’ve been send back mixed reports on their experiences including more tales of woe concerning door policies. That aside, though, I think I’d rather be enjoying the heat of Miami in March than the wind and rain here in Scotland.

Since I last put together a few words, many promos have come my way and much music has been bought from a variety of sources. There’s also plenty of tunes on my shopping list; far too many to go into right now. Personal picks lately have to include Ralf GUM & Diamondancer’s awesome “All This Love For You” on Gogo Music and “Reach Up” by West District Allstars ft Natasha Watts. These two stand out amongst many excellent tunes I’ve been privileged to preview lately. Tracks that I never got round to reviewing but are well worth laying your hands on include Lisa Shaw’s “All Night High” on Salted and “Higher” by Elisabeth Troy” on Soul Purpose”. for anyone who doesn’t already own most of the tracks included I would also recommend picking up Defected Records’ compilation of Miami Classics - there’s some absolute belters on there.

The website reached six years old last week and, to be honest, I nearly forgot about it myself. Anyone ho has ever maintained their own website will understand the efforts involved. The digital age has changed much over the six year’s I’ve been doing this. I think it’s harder to put timely reviews out there now than in years gone by. Six years ago the MP3 had not fully taken off and vinyl promos still dominated. Now, the intangible digital files can be downloaded at a premium by just about anyone before the general release of most tunes. As a result now, by the time a track is available at normal price on general release, the ideal window has passed for reviewing it. I don’t know how everyone else feels but I grudge paying extra for something I can’t touch just to have it a month earlier - I feel differently about vinyl even if I don‘t buy much of it these days.
More soon….
