absence makes the heart grow fonder...

since opening last autumn bodytonic's twisted pepper venture has attracted a huge number of big and upcoming names, so it's been almost painful reading their lineups, living as i do in the north of england. this season continues in a similar vein, and i'm more than a bit miffed that i'm missing some of these gigs.

this friday santogold's tour dj martelo is playing at mud, downstairs in the pepper. it's a bit of a disservice to refer to him solely as santi's dj, just like trizzy is more than yeezy's dj. but hey, it's all about context. dude did a mental eurostar remix of creator a few months back, which made its way into my first ever dubstep/ghettotech mix (unreleased).

as for his mixing skills, what better demonstration than his mix for the bodytonic podcast. racing through 130+ bpms, with tracks from the likes of boy 8-bit, buraka som sistema and dance area, it's sure to bring a smile to your face. anyway, make sure you check him out. nic james on the warm-up is always worth a watch too.
