JPOD (the beat chef) - Usual Flow

Peachi Here - Happy New Beers all! Welcome to 2011, may it be full of funky music to brighten your life via your massive ears and into your highly tuned mental pleasure zones ;)

So one of the joys of meeting new people at an extended New Years Eve Party (thanks Kev-Ra n ClaiRa) is that you get to meet new people and in the ensuing chill out you can hear some top new mixes. So it's with big thanks to Oli-Ra (also recently starring in the Spinning @ christmas party show) that I bring you this lovely warm and funky mix from JPOD - the Beat Chef. Not as full power as the usual stuff we post on here but perfect for a mellow dance or up tempo chill out - and plenty of dub-step and wompa wobble-a-tron (or Wobblehop and Midtempo Breaks as JPOD calls it!). Download the "Usual Flow" mix on soundcloud here and by clicking the down arrow below - track listing at end of blog entry.

Lots of playful sillyness in there too with Fraggle Rock (Fraggle Womp.... Ha ha! ;) , the Smurfs and the Muppets making a welcome appearance at the end. Some great re-mixes of Nelly Furtado and AC/DC at the start after a quite fun intro if you listen to it through the voice-coder. My favourite bit is at about 48mins 20secs where "Hobostyle" kicks in and edges of my lips move towards my ears. LOVE IT!



You can also download a free EP "Tunes Pack" here with several of his tunes on for NOWT! - I recommend his remix of "Radiohead - Creep" (lovely complex and warm womp dub remix) and "How We Really Rock". Enjoy!

You can buy his music and stems etc here and there are other mixes and tracks on his soundcloud page that are worth checking out (like Collective Promo and 30mins Mess). Still working through it all myself... but all good so far!

Finally a big thanks to Chris-Ra Fatty Morbjit for his work on the Musical Mana Blog over the years - seriously enriched my life musically and it is a joy to chip in what I can! Love love love muzik innit ;) [I have to say it was great fun playing both our full power mixes back to back at the NYE party and having a good stomp to both....RRRAAAAaaaaa!]
