Total Niceness - Old boy special - 27th September

The second part of this months instalment of total niceness features the return of everyones favourite stately gentlemen the das meisters (sans gary the professor as hes got school) and there old friend mr Idle. Its a bit of an old skool affair in general and we should have andy aka the cats arse (seriously i don't know either) joining procedings aswell to add an air of the unexpected to the procedings. Expect a whirl wind mix of old skool and nu skool breaks with a touch of electro from idle and random mix of everything from house to reggae and back from the cats arse. The Das Meisters will be finishing things off in there own majestic style, so expect electro tinged new skool breaks and maybe a touch of big beat from gillotron. Sadly i won't be attending as i'm busy in bristol, but i shall be back for my little borther Po Po's birthday bash that were having at the first total niceness in October, be warned the 11th will be an explosive affair with mad scratching from atleast three different beat scientists and some familiar deck technicians returning to bombard you with wave apon wave of basslineage.

Benergy
Cat's Arse
Idle

England reclaim the ashes.................................


I told them australians (any i could find) that we would win, but they were too sensible to listen to my crazed ramblings and even on friday the guy from work wouldnt believe me that when i told him we would still have them up and be celebrating tuesday. Well the day after and i'm still reeling from the celebrations last night. They would have lasted longer had i not been drinking since midday and didnt feel like death come midnight, or probable even earlier. Any way hardluck to the australians ( is there any nation that its more fun to beat, possible france or germany?) they played very well especially Warne, that fat skillful bastard, the only shit thing to cxome of this is that the cricket is never gonna be on regular telly any more only sky sports which is a fucking ripoff. No longer will i be able to while away 5 days at a time just drinkin beer and getting high and such with a semi-valid excuse. Anyway heres a picture to commemorate our historic voistory and soon i'll stick up a picture of both the breaks professor and ricky ponting as they look the spit of each other and it would amuse me and the breaker atleast if no-one else.

Total Niceness Resident Special 13th September

This is the last total niceness before i lurk back to bristol and try to sort my life out and get a new job and all that business. We've decided to have all the proper original residents, myself (delsa), Luke Envoy and the unstopable Benergy aswell, for a one off appearance with mr Luke Envoy playing a progressive set and all of us playing for two hours. Benergy is bringing a striaght up breaks set (probable with some madonna and daniel beddinfield thrown in for good measure) and i'll be mixing up another noxious combination of everything from progrssive house to tribal house, to bassline breaks, prog breaks, electro breaks, spun out dubstep, freaky gutter press and anything in between, it all depends how i'm feeling later but be aware that its gonna get serious like jme. I personally thin it will be mostly breaky beats but after having a little four beat resurgence in canada i'll probable play some housier sounds too, maybe with the Luke Envoy at the end. Its definately gonna be a two record bag job for me. We will also be celabrating Englands historic ashes victory and sacraficing a few australians too boot if you fancy popping down. The full line up is as follows:


Benergy 8 -10
Delsa 10-12
Luke Envoy 12-2

Everythings been a bit slack recently around here.


Well, i just got back from canada last week and ive been a bit slow in sorting everything out around here. Idles been having some internet troubles at work aswell so hes not been on the case properly either. We are reevaluating how we are going to manage the flyering and promotion for the total niceness events with a generic flyer that we'll put out with the rotating residents and then post the specific line ups on this blog and on the other regular channels. It also looks like ui have finally securred myself a perminanant show on nuskoolbreaks.co.uk/radio, although it is in the daytime it will open new routes t foriegn listeners and offer a foot in a door for getting a later show at some point. Preliminarily it will be from 1-3 GMT every tuesday which will mean there should be one before every total niceness , which will be good and i might have some wierd guests on although it will probable depend on who is free during the day and we be able to come and get drunk of an afternoon. There will definately be an appearance from dj Gul (newport and south wales's finest) but apart from that who can say. The radio show will mainly be breaks'house/electro although i think i'm gonna do a little 30 minute grime/dubstep education spot every week just to keep people up to date with some different music that they might not know about. My two weeks in canada went even better than expected with some crazy sites to be seen and a set in one of the better/best clubs in Ottawa which went really well, it really makes a change playing in a club where all the most beautiful girls are just loving the music instead of coming up and asking if you've got any R&B or Garage. I played mostly progressive and tribal house with a spot of breaks to finish and although i didnt educate them about dubstep at the club, i saved it until the after party at chris's house where i was staying and everyone seemd to enjoy it. French canada was definately a highlight of the trip and damn, the girls there are ridiculous. we went to a strip club and this girl was humping the ceiling at the top of this pole, thats a sight i wont forget soon, i tell thee for true. All in all it was a properly decent holiday and me and luke envoy only had two proper bust up which is less than i expected going on holiday with him. Heres a little photo on me sleeping at envoys dads pictursce garden in the middle of knowwhere, i'm looking a bit like a ghosts but then who gives a fuck about that, eh (the eh is in honour of the canadians). I'd like to say a big thanks to steph and mel for putting up with me and envoy and a special thanks to chris for driving us all over the place, letting us stay and generally making sure we had a great time whilst we were in canada, orh and also paying for those table dances at the strip club. i'll be coming back next year if you'll 'ave me and if i can afford it. Props to the paulo and paulo and the Onervesal crew aswell for having play and offering me subsequent gigs next year. Recognise Fools.
