As promised in the news section, here’s some quick snaps (thanks Mark) of my 4 windows on Orchard St, Selfridges London.

Good day to y’all. Been a while since we had a download up on the Kenny Bloggins and today, being that it’s a fine one out there, we’ve a fine slice of discoid smooth grooving for you called ‘Inbetween Worlds (disco version)’ with a very special ‘guest’! Seahawks have been on an adventure down to the south west coast and we’ve definitely picked up some of the energy that lies in abundance down there. Also had some amazing dolphin sightings, truly a cosmic aquatic sign!

Hello world on this beautiful day. Our Friday download this week addresses the plight of the mighty whale. In light of the possible lift on whale hunting being discussed in Morocco at the moment we have made a song for the whales of the Earth (and in space). As well as downloading and listening to the track please take some time to sign up to the petition to voice your feelings towards this hideous situation.

Enjoy the track, sign up and have a fantastic weekend in the sun.

TAKE ME TO SEAHAWKS!

Extract from Vision Quest 1

The captain and myself recently had a bit of a  vision quest where we attempted to transport our minds back in time to California in the late 70’s-early 80’s. Perhaps around Topanga Canyon or Marina Del Rey’s down at heel cousin. Anyway, we experienced positive results when we played a party the other night. An American girl came up to us and said “oh my god this is like a dream I had where I was at a party in Califonia in the 1980’s and you were SO there”. Ok, sorry for invading your memories there, that’s a side effect.

Some of the sounds suffer from the effects of time travel, this is one of the effects we’ve experienced and we have experienced warping of many kinds – in places even reversalated warpage – but I guess this is inevitable when you’re making music in this way, across time and space, so if you feel a little phased after listening to this piece don’t worry that’s cool. Go with it.

GO GET THE TRACK

Myself and the captain have been itching to get this movie uploaded and asGrovesnor’s fantastic LP is now released we feel it’s time. A Seahawks remix and ‘video’ of the track Taxi From The Airport from his LP Soft Return, we like to call Taxi Across the Universe. Enjoy, buy his LP and come down to the Big Chill next Wednesday night June 9th for Deep Smoothness.

Big thanks to Grovesnor!
