Best house/bass tracks of the year (Mixmag and Resident Advisor)

Disclosure's live set? Fantastic.
How was Roots Manuva?

I loved Disclosure. Was probably highlight of the day. Probably helped the sun was only out for their set and it rained the rest of the time. But yeah really enjoyed them.

Roots was sick, was slightly disappointed he didn't play much of his classics however.

Just recently found out about Disclosure, lovin there stuff at the moment. Whats in your head is such a sick tune.

Speaking of Maceo...

Went out on my own tonight - no one else was interested. Had this tune playing in the car, absolute monster. Can't get over how good it is. This is the kinda thing I want to be making eventually. Sleek, sexy, classy house.



How was Gold Panda, Mo? Desperate to see him one day.

Seen Maceo, quality... He is a sick producer/dj. I've never really had the balls to go to a big night on my own, how was it? I was thinking of going to see Steffi as i might be able to get in free as my mate has free GL for all just jack house night events, and he is out of the country. They've never checked his ID when checking in... Tempted, but i would be going on my own..

It depends on your comfort zone, and how comfortable you are approaching random people. There's always a mild sense of "I'm gonna look like an awkward tool", but if you're willing to push yourself into social situation, it almost always end up a good night.

For example last night I just grabbed a beer, headed to the smoking area, asked a random group for a light and sat down with them, start chatting. Cool people so I chilled with them for the night (along with endless old friends I bump into).

People where you at?!
Saw some good sets at Parklife, relevant ones being Gold Panda, Stay+, Maceo Plex, Claude VonStroke, Julio Bashmore, Mount Kimbie, Person Sound b2b Ben UFO - all great! Saw Jackmaster too but his kit was ****ed but he threw some good tunes on regardless.

Greco-Roman were in the Boiler Room earlier - Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs with a jungle set (new album out, go check), Baio (Vampire Weekend bassist with a very decent EP worth checking), Disclosure, Joe Goddard, little bit of Skream... Class from all involved.

TNGHT album sampler is out:

I went to parklife. Have to beg to differ regarding bashmore's set i am afriad. I found it to be underwhelming and lacking energy...could tell he was recovering from flu. Although the meteoric rise in atmosphere when the "oh baby" of au seve kicked in was a highlight. My favourite sets were Maya Jane Coles, Maceo Plex, Joy Orbison, Claude von Stroke and Damian Lazarus.
