hey

Glasgow's Numbers crew hosted the Jak:Bloc room at the BLOC Weekend festival a couple weeks ago. Hudson Mohawke, Rustie, Jackmaster and myself had a great time in there, and apart from dealing with a few technical difficulties I've collected a few great campfire stories to tell friends!
In the middle of my set, the bar personnel on the other side of the room accidentally started their CD player, so while I was in the mix I suddenly heard Simply Red's "Fairground" blaring through the speakers! A 20 minute snippet of this set was broadcast on BBC Radio 1's Leftfield show hosted by Rob Da Bank. However, something went wrong in converting the sound files though, so what was played on the show was at the wrong speed!!! (the whole set was at least 10-15 bpm too slow) I decided to put the correct version online for all of you to listen to (and left the Simply Red bit in there

all the way at the end).

Yeah that down pitching has thing has happened to me when I've been recording before. Seen the beeb's equipment though and they shouldn;t have those problems.

Still, couldn't make it this year due to fund issues but this has put a smile back on my bloc withdrawl symptom face.

LOL, now I am gutted I missed that moment, staff's got some serious mixing skills playing Simply Red into Township Funk

was too tired to stay for the whole of your set. it's a shame they put you on in the smallest room and at something like 5 am, wasn't it? great line-up though - Hudson Mohawke, you and Rustie, but after 5-6 hours of music and knowing there were two more long nights ahead it was just too much...
