One of the reasons the new site just hasn't appeared is an exciting new project that we've been blessed to be involved with.  An incredible new site in London put together for the most part by the Mutate Britain guys and Shangri La crew from Glastonbury Festival.   It's finally opening next week and so just wanted to tell you about the opening, even though it's a bit different to the usual Chrome Kids style (saving that for Bloc which touches down at LPG the weekend after).

As well as loads of great Cabaret, Street Theatre, Pyrotechnics, Markets and Vintage Fairground.  The team has booked some of our favourite and most established live bands from the festival circuit, see below the flyer for a (nearly) full line up of bands and DJs.

Dizraeli + The Small Gods

FREE DOWNLOADS FROM THE SHOW:











If you're feeling these then tune in and pass on. Plus here's one download that wasn't on the show but is still mightily good.

Okay we know you're all still waiting for the new blog and getting your teeth into some proper posts but we'd like to think the Radio Show is a healthy snack in the meantime. Here's the latest with new tunes from: Alby Daniels, Pair Of Arrows, Torus, John Talabot, Sun Glitters, Monky, Evian Christ and many more.

Plus here's the free downloads from the show for good measure.









For that last one you'll need to grab the whole Mixtape: http://www.mediafire.com/?nryh94iuhg451bj

That should keep you buys for a couple of hours at least.

Here's our latest radio show plus a free download from Metabeats (half of Darkhouse Family and quarter of C.R.S.T) and Diverse Concepts.

The new look site is nearly done and we're getting set for the changeover. However in the mean time this year also sees the return of our Radio Show, which should also give you an idea of what direction the blog will be taking musically.

If you're feeling the show then please post it around.

We also have a party in the Motherland of Wales this Thursday (19th January) in Buffalo Bar, Cardiff from 10pm til 4am. It will be Stagga (first offical set back home in over a year), Monky, Kaptin, Falcon Lake, Jauge (Live), Maxx Roach and Adam Corner. To celebrate we have a free download courtesy of Falcon Lake.
