2020 was a dumpster fire, but these releases got me through it all.

My 2020 Quarantine Music Purchase Playlists
I have an expansive digital music library that was in absolute shambles thanks to iTunes metadata fuckery over the years. When the isolation period began in Texas I resolved that I’d use my free time to fix it file by file, folder by folder, and label by label so that it was accurate and correct. […]
Blocks & Escher – Something Blue – Metalheadz
I apologize for my lengthy delay in posting on the beloved SB. Much has happened in my life that has been major and have finally found some ground to get myself back into the mode to provide great links and information for you all. I write this while listening to the Blocks & Escher full […]
TOTD – Detboi – Secret Venom
Sometimes a producer nails the sound of the past in a single tune and Detboi did that, in spades, with Secret Venom. It perfectly captures *that* Metalheadz sound so perfectly that it could be dropped into the Platinum Breakz compilation from 1996 and it wouldn’t be out of place. I love that sound and this […]
OneMind & Rider Shafique on Radio 1 Friction show #DNB60 mix
I haven’t written in a while and I finally found some time to catch up on life today, so I put on my headphones and queued up this set to get some things done and it’s been perfect. OneMind’s mixing is on point, the selection is wicked and Rider’s MCing fits right in. We covered OneMind’s […]
Beats and Pieces Volume 2 2017
Alright, we are now kicking into 2017 full throttle so lets just get into it shall we? DRS – I Will – Soul:R DRS. 4 Track EP. Incredible. Awesome video for the track Sin done with Utah Jazz. Oh did I say this was DRS? Yeah, I did. Excellent release. Skittles bringing it on “Your […]

Hidden Agenda – The Flute Tune
RIP Mark Goodings. You made beautiful music.
Beats and Pieces Volume 2 2016
Hello team, good to be back in the saddle providing new music links and links to great music already released. It has been awhile since I did my last installment of our famous Beats and Pieces segment but with the amount of music we have received over the last few weeks I needed to. I […]
TOTD – Commix – Freefall
Commix has a brand new EP, Generation 2, on Metalheadz available on November 4th and it’s spectacular. If you’ve read this blog for any length of time, you might know that I am in love with atmospheric drum & bass, especially from it’s heyday in the 90s. When Good Looking Records and their peers ruled […]
