Bullion and Mark From Middlesex, two of our favourite selectors, met recently in a Dutch brothel. They played strange music for hours. That’s all we know.
Enjoy!

Bullion’s You Drive Me To Plastic drops on CD any day now and as part of his devilish promotional strategy he’s dropped this mix paying tribute to the ‘Canterbury scene’, the southern English movement that included prog and avant legends such as Soft Machine, Caravan and Kevin Ayers.
While prog rock and the various kinds of fusion associated with it in the late 60s and 70s are often maligned as pompous or grandiose, this is often total nonsense: bands like Soft Machine and Gong were as silly as they were serious about their musicianship. There’s a Matching Mole LP that lists “Musicians In Order Of Beard Length”. It’s this playfulness combined with a drive to push things forward that links Bullion to this scene. Well, that and the love of a good fiddle solo.
Check Bullion’s new record at his website. Tracklist after the jump.
Bullion appeared on Benji B’s Radio 1 show last week and dropped a mix of forthcoming and unreleased bits. Our favourite is Crystal Maze. Or the one with Sampha. Hmm. Check it right here:
