Listen ear

You can tell the opening party is only a matter of days away from Julie’s dancey picks this week. Ruairi supports his anarcha-feminist comrades and keeps up the strive against patriarchy as an essential part of post-Marxist class struggle. Mark selects some “real” sunny Balearic beats from the Boys Own catalogue of cool. The reason for the long wait between the last listening session and this one was Andy trying to find the title of one of his choices. By humming, whistling and mumbling the melody to anyone who would care to listen, after four weeks of thought, we got there.

Julie…

Double You – Please Don’t Go
Hot Chip – Over And Over (Justus Köhncke’s Baking Horse Club Mix)
Dunne – Espiral

Ruairi…

Ani DiFranco – In or Out
Kate Nash – Mansion Song

Test track

“There’s a rat in my kitchen, what am I going to do?” These wise words from Mr Ali Campbell way back in 1986 have clearly inspired Mark’s choice this week. Ruairi had an unpleasant alcohol fueled dream in which he had to DJ to a room of judgemental hipsters and dropped those three tracks, true story. Andy chooses three from an album in commemoration of a 1967 Arab-Israeli war. Since it’s budget week Sarah is opening offshore accounts for everyone! Our friendly window cleaner Pedro proved his worth this morning by walking face-first into our freshly wiped plate glass terrace door muttering those immortal words “está limpia”. Therefore, he be dedicated with the world’s only two songs on the subject of window cleaning. Thanks Pedro, you made my day.

Mull it over

The ants are on manouevres to their summer home, slowly making their way through the living room and up the stairs of Casa Broadbent sparking an insect based selection from Mark. Sarah clearly having an 80’s moment this week, Julie goes with Gallic folk and modish pop, Andy thanks Bicep for providing the Led Zep re-edit while thinking outsider the box, and Ruairi gets an extra choice because it’s Paddy’s day (and Julie only chose two).

Ring ding

This week, Ruairi picks in honour of Andy’s recent birthday celebrations which sounded too strange to be true yet the photos prove otherwise. Andy dedicates his choice to Guru of Gang Starr who is in a coma, maybe it was a heart-attack, maybe he’s dead, we don’t know. Julie only gets two choices because she sent us a wild goose chase trying to find the third, which didn’t exist.

Ruairi…

Butthole Surfers – 22 Going On 23
Little Dragon – Looking Glass
PJ Harvey – Sheela-na-Gig (Acoustic Demo)

Julie…

Texas – In Demand

A Lesson In Love by DJ Mo’Funk

Mo funk than most

Mo funk than most

With Valentines day fast approaching, DJ Mo’Funk has provided a mix which in his own words “might be good for readers of the blog to grab a listen before it’s lovin’ time”. Having just completed his first season as a regular at We Love… Space alongside partner in crime Mr Doris, Australian funkster DJ Mo’Funk (Mo Nunez) has continued on the path to a endless summer by relocating to his hometown of Sydney. In the last few months there has been quite a few happenings; a few tours across Asia and Oz with The Cuban Brothers, some highly coveted support slots throughout the New Year period with the likes of Grandmaster Flash, Crazy P, Kenny Dope and a host of others. As this coming weekend is a very special day for all lovers across the world, Mo has decided to put together a unique lovers DJ mix, something he has never done but has always fancied putting together one day, this week seems very fitting to make something like this happen! Comprising nothing but slow-jams and booty beats this will make Valentines Day just a little bit more adventurous.

Over 50 tracks in this one including Teddy Pendergrass, Erykah Badu, Prince, Marvin Gaye, Outkast and everything in between. The mix is presented by fashion and style blog HauteToday.com. The photo credit goes to Bree Kristel Clarke.
