First, a week in Dublin on some heavy duty training course – then, a week in Seattle at some more interesting and exciting things – some meetings, some fun with my team – the two events punctuated by a horrible weekend of coughing, spluttering and sniffing at home with a chest/throat infection, lurgy kind of event. Feeling much better now, despite the 10 hour trip. Hope you are feeling the mix tape…
As I’m going to be away in Dublin till Friday – I thought I would leave a gift…after two housey mixes – a couple of people asked if I would be doing any mixes from my alter-ego – hip-hop loving BIGman…and here it is, my third podmix in as many weeks – beenalongtime brings you eight of finest jams ANYWHERE at the moment – and adds in a new superhero… MC Stephen Hawkings…the tracklisting is as follows:

I really like the idea of this – apparently uber-producer Timbaland, is going to be working on the new Coldplay album…which will follow X&Y and probably drop sometime in 2008. I heard a sort of bootleg of Chris Martin singing with Nelly Furtado during the making of her album, with Timbaland producing – there was definately some rapport going on in the studio, with Chris Martin improvising vocals over a lovely crunchy beat. The track ended up on the album – All Good Things, but the final version was a little more polished.
I loved this banner at the Wales vs England Rugby at the weekend…I’m not sure I understand the origin onf the song that the welsh fans sing so well – but it sounded great as they roared themselves to victory!
The last one seemed quite popular…so I thought I would put up another 6 of my favourite housey tunes for your listening pleasure. The tracklisting is as follows:
Sebastian Leger – Hypnotized
Delirium – Silence (Trentemoller Remix)
Africanism Allstars – Hard (Murk Mix)
68 beats – Replay the Night
Those Guys – I walk alone (Haji and Emmanuel Mix)
Basement Jaxx – Take me back to your house
These should keep you nicely smiling as the good weather comes around! It would be great if you could leave a comment if you download, I’d love to know who’s feeling the mixes (or otherwise).

Just caught this in my RSS feeds – a nice video of Amy Winehouse singing ‘Love is a losing game’ at SXSW, its wonderful to hear this delivered in a stripped down acoustic style, and her voice is truly sublime.
If you like your DJ mixes – you could do a lot worse than checking out discobelle.net - this is a standout music blog that highlights some of the best DJ mixes that I’ve ever heard, alongside some really cool and sometimes odd remixes - I specifically recommend the Kid Fresh mix they posted recently which is awesome set of eclectic tunes, really well mixed with an old school cut and paste style which really lends itself well to the selection. Great Stuff!
Its been a long time, since I left you,
without a strong beat step to,
think of how many weak shows you slept through
times up – sorry I kept you.
I’m back – delivering what I truly love doing…I’ve always wanted to find a way of doing this online – so heres the first of my new style mixes online for your listening pleasure.
6 of the best – mixed live by Matt Rutherford
Fedde le Grand – Take no Sshh…
The Drill vs Gwen Stefani – Drillaback Girl
Depeche Mode – Just can’t get enough (Dirty South Mix)
Mason – Exceeder (DJ Fex Mix)
DJ Disciple – Work it Out
Eric E – Beat is Rockin

Short – to the point, 6 of my current favourite tunes…
Its been a struggle – since I got my Zune – to establish a good, accurate and quick workflow for getting DVD content onto the Zune. I’ve settled on the Avex DVD to Zune converter – which seems to do a reasonable job – I’m still working on getting 100% right – but one thing that really frustrates me is the fact that it won’t do all the episodes of a TV series in one go, you have to manually switch between each episode, and then run that conversion individually There must be a better way!
