THE CHILL...

Its back in the air and on our journeys to work... but this transition brings in the need for some reflective music, something that feels like heat but welcomes the cold walk to work. 

Orbital came from the late 80s and their reputation proceeds them, the English electronic duo are brothers Phil and Paul Hartnoll from Kent and their name harks back to the days of the acid house rave scene - central to that was the M25 also known as London's orbital motorway. Moving as far away from the experience of driving on it as you could get this song brings everything you need to relax into transitions, in travel, life and the seasons. Welcome autumn..

SOMETHING GOOD ...

Probably best to start with something good, here's a little video from Trevone in Cornwall with some good friends. 

The next chapter is good music (obviously), good vibes and might have some good views too...

NEW TO ME...

This is not really new to anyone but I have a new found love for Dreadzone - they have welcomed in the new year for me and I think will continue to motivate me through these early wintery months of the year. 

A British band born out of the early 90's - Dreadzone is made up of Greg Roberts and Tim Bran, then Leo Williams and Dan Donovan. Soon signed to Virgin Records the band released their second studio album which is in my opinion their finest, called 'Second Light'. Since then 2 new members have been added and they are well into their sixth album of the most eclectic fusions of dub, reggae, techno, folk and rock. 

March and April will see them touring the UK and I'm sure they are even better in the flesh. Im booking my ticket - Happy New Year!

Here is 'Little Britain':
