As I am stuck at home with a broken leg rather than doing 360s on the slopes in Morzine, here is a mix in my place for my friends who have thoughtlessly gone there without me.

The Desperados picture is in homage to a bar in Morzine which sells the stuff. A sensible drink lager laced with tequila, sure you’ll agree.

First up is another track off the Madrid based Lovemonk remix compilation “Más Achilifunk: Gipsy Soul From 21st Century”. It’s a remix compilation of tracks from the earlier “Achili Funk: Gipsy Soul 1969-1979“. Both records are great and I think everyone should have both! I’ve played them out a lot.

Second is the tea master himself, Manchester’s very own Mr Scruff with a track from his 2008 album Ninja Tune. New album should be due out soon. Get a move on Scruffy!

Third up is a track from Subatomic Sound’s Sancocho e’ Tigres compilation which was organized by Rebel Records’ Caballo and recorded throughout Mexico, South America, & Canada as collaboration between Latino digital cumbia producers and musicians.

Definately a big change for the next track. This is a track by Mark Archer, which is remixed by Luke Vibert. Samples you may recognise, LFO’s “Low Frequency Oscillation” and Captain Beefheart “Fast and Bulbous” lyric from the track Pachuco Cadaver from Trout Mask Replica! Something for everyone : )

Up sixth is a Zeb (AKA The Spy from Cairo) track ‘Afro Disco’ keeping up my quota of tracks in my mixes from the Turntables on the Hudson mob. Remix duties performd by Infragandhi & Cameleon Selecta.

Seventh we got a track from the Akwaaba Remixed compilation from Perfect Losers. This track is $1 for a FLAC download on bandcamp. I love Bandcamp! The album is only $8, and none of this charging through the nose for FLAC, same price. I love Bandcamp!

Last up another Bandcamp bargain, this time from Timewarp Music’s offshoot Kraak Records. Just 5EUROS an album in FLAC? Ta very much, some good tracks on there too, it’s a selection of tracks remixed from jazz.K.lipa’s earlier Global Dancehall 2010 release, which has some tasty digital reggae featuring Soom T. Nuff said as it were.
