If the internet hadn’t existed, Julio Bashmore would probably have made dubstep. That’s of course a major generalization, but seeing that he’s the first house producer I’ve heard emerge from the Bristol scene, I don’t think it’s all that unlikely.

As my rundown of 2009 was cut a little short, I’ll start the new year with a favourite of mine from the year we just parted with.

Sometimes, it’s hard to tell whether you’re being blinded by local press-hyperbole, or you’re actually looking at the real deal. Looking at Tomas Barfod, you know you’re in for a quality meal. Sure, he’s been a consistent creator of underground buzz around here, but that doesn’t always ensure quality.
