Inspired by a couple of recent postings it was time for us to dig through our Ashley Beedle collection for a quick complication of some dance music's best records. He had many guises including The Black Science Orchestra, The Ballistic Brothers, X-press 2, The Black Jazz Chronicles, The London Heavy Disco Revue, and many others.

Super super awesome, Ja Jule, but where is New Jersey Deep, may I ask you?
saving that one for vol 2 :)
gotta keep some bangers for the next installment!
Oh snap! Somebody brought their A-Game! The only thing wrong with this mix is it's supposed to rain here all weekend and this would so hit the spot in the sunshine. Thanks Julian!
Next installment!?!
ah bummer about the rain! yup there'll be a vol 2 for sure, there's enough stuff for 4-5 volumes easy. I'll be sure to stick on BSO "Sunshine" in the next volume and bring out the sunshine.
Julian! I have a hooj favour to ask...
Putting together a Marden Hill post and I'm missing the Sugarplums EP on Afro Art - got the b-side Bardot but could use the OG and the Ball Bros mix if you have them. Any luck and if so, would you be so kind?
Obviously you'll get credit from your contribution or if you have and want to post it instead, I'll link to your joint.
Regardless, thanks!
You know what I don't have that Marden Hill 12 on Afro Art. I found the original mix of sugarplums online and can email you that. email me at jc at playjazzloud.com and I'll send it to ya.
you kick ass!
