Buckle up, strap a nappy on, and press play on this week’s show.

We got loads more new music for you this week with the levels hitting peak al throughout the show.

I spend most of the time dancing around the studio so apologies if some of the mixes are late or a little loose.

Big up the chat room crew over at Sub.FM who were bang on it.

Apologies for the no-show on the podcast last week. I had to play my sick note as I wasn’t very well at all. Hopefully it won’t happen again.

Anyway, make sure you got some toilet roll handy for this one, and happy pant-shitting.

Big up

As promised (be it a little delayed) is another show from the Brainz UKG vault.

We’re going back to September 2009. A time where I think we can all agree had no significance whatsoever.

Hang on, that’s a bit harsh. I’m guessing there. Apparently loads of shit happened. I’d wager that none of them were as important as this show when it aired.

Enough rambling, more riddims. See you Saturday 3-5PM on Sub.FM for some live bizzo.

Happy new year!

It was about 3am on New Years Day when I was mixing it up with 2 pals in a bit of a state and it came to me: Tomorrow I’m doing a crate digging show.

Hopefully my neighbours didn’t mind the racket up till 4 in the morning with some old school sounds. Was definitely worse for wear in this show so apologies for the clangtastic action in some places.

This was also the first time I’ve done a pure vinyl radio show for bloody years. Even though there was some proper shoddy mixes and strange tune choices at times I still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Here’s to a blindin’ 2011. All the best for the coming year.

Merry Christmas everyone! And a special seasons greetings to all the listeners of the Brainz podcast. Here’s a present for you.

As promised, here’s a banging old skool UK Garage mix to be the first one you put on shiny new iPod that Santa brought you.

This was a mix I put together for the fine people at YouDunKnow.co.uk and went out in their podcast a week or two back. It was a selection of some old skool bangers.

So download, whack it on the stereo and take a mouthful of turkey and beer.

Happy Holidays

Week 2 of a garage-free garage podcast as it’s Christmas.

Every year I dust off my tiny pile of random, non UKG records for a clangfest of ill proportions in celebration of a magical Jew.

We’re keeping it steak bake, with a dash of jungle, a pinch of club classics, and a dab of UKG at the start.

Random insight into my life – I moved house this week. Just before the show I had to make a new home for my decks and re-construct the stand they live in. I thought I’d just made it in the nick of time.

As it turned out my head was so scrambled that I thought my show was half and hour later than it was. I thought DJ Skipple who was up after me was being a bit impatient and eager. Turns out it was actually me being a complete arsehole without realising. I can’t apologise enough to bad boy selector Skipple Banton. Catch him live after me every fortnight on Sub.FM from 5pm spinning some wickedness.

Anyway, next week we’re back to the usual UKG runnings with an old skool UKG mix. I’m going to drop this on Christmas morning so it can be the first thing you download onto your shiny new iPod that Santa brought you. Just hit the iTunes button and search “Brainz”.

Hope you all have a lovely Christmas, and please remember to comment and rate the Brainz podcast on iTunes

This week we’re taking a dark turn with some dubstep from DJ and producer Ficktion.
