It  should come as little surprise to learn that Chris de Burgh and LIl B are making pretty similar looking videos these days.

Look at these two! The cameraman even seems to move in the same way. So amazing.

No, not amazing…

Swag.

Brilliant and deeply sampleable mix from Adam Walton, who says thusly:

Another late night session of elevating sounds, recorded to celebrate our next Crackling Vinyl night on 31st January at Telfords Warehouse, Chester featuring Y Niwl & Sam Airey… as well (of course) as the Crackling Vinyl DJ’s.

This excerpt, cut from a 4hr stint behind the line-cleaning* decks, is a fine rummage through the lint-lined bottoms of our deepest pockets. The tones are often fuzzier, the atmosphere more angular, than Purple and Red – but there are many gems contained within – some familiar, others more obscure – all glinting in anticipation of hungry ears.

Please see Proviso#1** if you’re expecting beat-matching / m*sh ups / self-immolating focus on one ‘genre’.
