Souther Hospitality deckstar Rob Pursey came to represent his shit. This is his shit. His shit goes dumb. Swag him out.

LONG LIVE FRIDAY!

Plain and simple, I get exposed to so much great music on the daily, by so many great people, its a truly beautiful thing. Y’all know who you are, but in case you don’t I’m talking about people like DJ Amen, DJ Merk, Sam Baker at Bassline Blog, Felix M. Dowell, Sinden, Brendan Carter (my afrobeat connection at a high-5 – word to De La!), J Bo Tapes, Chase N Cashe, DJ Giraffo, Konstantin Kazmierski and of course the man who knows – Davey Boy Smih.

So, yesterday I just loaded some of the tracks that have been inspiring me lately – everything from new rap goodness (Iamsu!, Starting Six, Shady Blaze etc.) to new epic club madness (Sinjin Hawke, DJ Q, Flosstradamus etc) and of course my fave new zonin records (Future, Phlo Finster, Kirko Bangz etc.) – and just stood at the turntables and did a one-take live mix. Who knows, next months mix may be all 2-step RnB or downtempo house or boom-bap rap – such is the variety of music I get exposed to on the regular – and for that I thank you. Enjoy!

From The BBC:

A huge crustacean has been found lurking 7km down in the waters off the coast of New Zealand.

The creature – called a supergiant – is a type of amphipod, which are normally around 2-3cm long.

But these beasts, discovered in the Kermadec Trench, were more than 10 times bigger: the largest found measured in at 34cm.

Alan Jamieson, from the University of Aberdeen’s Oceanlab, said: “It’s a bit like finding a foot-long cockroach.”

“I stopped and thought: ‘What on Earth was that?’ This amphipod was far bigger than I ever thought possible.”

The strange animals were found using a large metal trap, which had been equipped with a camera, housed in sapphire glass to keep it safe from the high pressures of the deep sea.

Seven specimens were caught in the trap and nine were captured on film by the team from the University of Aberdeen, in Scotland, and the National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research (Niwa), in New Zealand.

The largest specimen brought back up to the ship measured 28cm in length, while the biggest spotted on camera was 34cm-long.
