Rob Smith…. phew! What a great set and lovely geezer, I’m raring for tomorrow night (except I won’t be able to ask him ‘what’s this one?’ virtually every track). I may well have missed and mis-titled a few tunes during his sublime, best part of two hour, set. I do remember one of his Punch Drunk 12″‘s making an appearance, and I’m pretty sure there was another track from the Welsh wonder Monkey, I’ll be keeping a firm eye out for his gear in the future and several others from Robs futuristic rub-a-dub rhythm riot. Big thanks go out to Tom for making it happen and chaperoning Mr Smith.
Up this week is Onra’s drop dead gorgeous ‘Dreams’, a track that Rob was quite taken with incidentally. It’s from ‘1.0.8’ which is now available on vinyl (Boomkat had it as album of the week, nice) and though I’ve been fortunate enough to have been thrashing it from when he was over in November, it’s a record that continues to grow on me. More Onra in this post and that one, non excuses monsieurs et madames buy buy buy .
