Back in the hot seat after a month travelling North America! Such record store. So baggage. Wow.

Anyway, I did pick up the wonderful new Nils Frahm record Spaces while I was away, and I narrowly missed seeing him in New York – damn! It includes an epic track which features some piano and delay pedal work that I’ve seen in a couple of videos, so I couldn’t resist playing the whole 16+ minutes.
But after that, most of tonight’s playlist is made up of download releases (or vinyl/download) that came out while I was away – easily compilable into a playlist for tonight, as I only got in this morning. We’ve got some great examples of the cross-pollination of juke/footwork with jungle/drum’n’bass, and other exciting recent drum’n’bass trends like “slow/fast”, plus later, a remix of Seattle shoegazey indietronic duo Cock & Swan – by the one and only Cex, and a gorgeous beat from JK Broadrick’s Pale Sketcher incarnation to round things out.
