Just to tempt you

So in preparation for tomorrow nights show I thought I'd throw the highlights of the tracklisting forward, so if you want some Zomby, Joker, Rustie, Megasoid, Ghislain Poirier, Riow Arai, Dawn Penn and a whole bunch more then the show starts at 10pm UK time over at Futurebeat Radio
The full tracklisting will appear soon.
In the meantime I need to stretch my legs out, I've spent an hour pedalling along the coast, and I'm not as fit as I should be.

Where to?

Dan, over at the Lower End Spasm, makes a very good point about the state of play in 2008, and what is going on with the grime/electro thing. I think he highlights a few issues I've been having lately, that has led me to be lacking enthuisiasm. I did give myself a cross to bear by calling the show Forward Motion, a name that suggests nothing but the progressive and innovative. So when the grime I'm playing is at least 2 years old what am I saying? Either the new stuff isn't getting through to me, or I'm not feeling it, and well to be honest I think I'm just not feeling it.
That same observation goes for much of dubstep, there seems to be a shift towards an ever increasing reliance on formulas something that I don't think can ever be a positive step. Maybe it's just me.
So the question has to be where to?
Well at the minute I'm listening to DJ Venom and Damage in the mix.

Too Much Bass on Your Radio!

So while I'm wasting a perfectly nice evening sitting at a computer, having just put a few mixes onto my phone for my communting needs, I decided I'd best check out Bok Bok and Manara on Rupture's show. Always worth checking out, I mean come on this week he has Kode 9 in with him, tonight even. So how about this for an idea, listen back to Bok Bok and Manara, then wait for Kode 9 and Rupture to go live on WFMU.
Anyway I thought I'd best give you heads up on these.
