BEG6 - Getting Nasty


Two years plus in the making, I've actually had the tracklisting nailed since about bloody xmas but just couldn't get my head together to sort some covers and just couldn't get inspired. Anyway, its done now - another eclectic mix along pretty much the same lines as before. Some lounge/library to start, some boogaloo, sweet seventies soul, gutsy R&B, reggae, jazz fusion, Brit R&B, modern day soul and...well you get the picture

As always there are print quality covers in the zipped file that you will download, don't bother trying to print the images here on the blog as they are just low-res versions.

DEG6 - You Little Punks Think You Own This Town



Well, finally - I've pulled my thumb out of my arse and designed the covers after having the disc sent to me by Diz over a month ago, and here it is, in all its glory. A seminal compilation with some well known and loved tracks and some not so well known (but definitely loved) tracks. Some surprises for me - especially the prodigy track that opens (the rest of their stuff is very different), some stuff I'm only just getting into like Jim Jones and some stuff which I (CB) will probably never get but Diz loves (Grinderman). But that is essentially what eclectic grooves is all about - discovering and maybe liking some new stuff.

I'll let Diz do his own write up on his track choices but for me this is a really bluesy/garage compilation. There is a great selection here, so download, listen and enjoy!
