Great mix by the Go Bang boys!

You may be aware of a small yet perfectly formed basement venue beneath a boozer called The Globe situated near the end of Middle Street which is just off the main seafront promenade in central Brighton

The Globe over time has gradually built up a reputation as being one of the city’s remaining locations where you can still enjoy groove based dance music on a regular basis in the company of like minded folk

From around 2009 onwards the idea of throwing regular underground gatherings in the pubs basement space gained significant momentum amongst many of Brighton’s groove based dj and party crews which has in turn fuelled a small localized scene that has come to recognize The Globe as it’s adopted home and musical focal point

To celebrate one of the cities most well loved “off piste” venues and the group of people that go there week in and week out I’ve compiled a musical explanation that kind of represents what I feel about the venue and the great people that go there to enjoy groove based dance music culture still to this day

The mix if you want to call it that uses the full length of all the recorded tracks so be prepared to sit through the whole thing to get the drift of the completed session, should take you nearly just over an hour to get through

14. Patrick Juvet – I Love America (Tony Johns Edit)

As you’ll see most if not all of the tunes are a little older but none the less still find a home in 2010 deep in a basement of a city centre pub in East Sussex, kind of like the scene that has grown on it’s own terms down on Middle Street at The Globe

Respect and genuine adoration goes out to everyone that has either danced, played music or socialized in what has been one of my favorite venues over the last 25 years listening and enjoying dance music here in the UK

Best wishes and hope you too can find a place like this at least once in your lifetime if you haven’t already

May happenings in Brighton!

The Globe (Brighton’s Disco Boozer) May 21st
Especially flown over from Munich, Germany. Producer extraordinaire Alkalino (http://soundcloud.com/alkalino) will be joining me of a night of custom edits & heavy disco. 9 – Late and of course Free!

Proper sound system in the basement!

Crazy little wonky mix of De La Soul by top geezer/producer Hint. Nice vocoded chorus, and if you’re real quick you can grab the download! x

Listening to this at the moment, properness!

I love fish pie and this is the recipe I use! NOM

Ingredients
* 400g skinless white fish fillet
* 400g skinless smoked haddock fillet
* 600ml full-fat milk (Organic is best though)
* 1 small onion, quartered
* Saffron
* 2 bay leaves
* 4 eggs
* small bunch parsley , leaves only, chopped
* 100g butter
* 50g plain flour
* pinch freshly grated nutmeg
* 1 small chilli
* bunch of spring onions, chopped
* 1kg floury potato, peeled and cut into even-sized chunks
* 50g cheddar , grated

Steps
1. Poach the fish. Put the fish in the frying pan and pour over 500ml of the milk. Put the onion quarters in, then add to the milk, with the bay leaves. Bring the milk just to the boil – you will see a few small bubbles. Reduce the heat and simmer for 8 mins. Lift the fish onto a plate and strain the milk into a jug to cool. Flake the fish into large pieces in the baking dish. Add the Saffron to the milk at this point, make sure the milk has turned a nice shade of yellow before adding in the next step!

2. Make the sauce. Melt half the butter in a pan, stir in the flour and cook for 1 min over moderate heat. Take off the heat, pour in a little of the cold poaching milk, then stir until blended. Continue to add the milk gradually, mixing well until you have a smooth sauce. Return to the heat, bring to the boil and cook for 5 mins, stirring continually, until it coats the back of a spoon. Remove from the heat, season with salt, pepper and nutmeg, then pour over the fish.
Add a layer of chopped spring onion and the chopped chilli at this point (this gives the dish a little kick)

3. Boil the potatoes for 20 mins. Drain, season and mash with the remaining butter and milk. Use to top the pie, starting at the edge of the dish and working your way in – push the mash right to the edges to seal. Fluff the top with a fork, sprinkle with cheese, then bake for 30 mins 200C/fan 180C/gas.

Serve with a bit of watercress on the side sprinkled with oil olive and some salt and pepper! Bon appetit!

Hey presto, enough food to keep you going for a few days!

Really cracking edit! Worth checking out! No download unfortunately
