Joe Strummer - The Brooding Side of Madness

This one's for Johnny. Being a bit of a Clash fan, and seeing as it's Christmas an' all...

Not quite what you'd expect from the man but nonetheless a top tune. Enjoy!

Plastikman - Consume

Richie Hawtin gets all tripped out and spacey on this subtle 11 minute monster.

LTJ Bukem - Cosmic Interlude

After a brief interlude the Nearest Faraway Place is pleased to be back.

There has been a change in personnel whilst Mellow Jonny, the driving force behind NFP to date, takes a break from blogging.

Kicking this back off with a new post, but expect some re-posts over the coming days.

Having just made it to one year since our first post, it's now time to take a break. Other responsibilities mean I don't have time to do the blog thing properly right now.

A huge thanks to all who have dropped by, left comments and linked to us. Massive thanks to all the bloggers, DJ's, labels, producers and promoters who have been so friendly and positive over the last twelve months, all the best from all at the NFP.

Go Bang! Tonight

Idjut Boys - Long Stayer (1997 Nuphonic, 20MB)

Looking forward to playing some NFP style records tonight for the Go Bang crew at the Om Bar in Brighton. Ali and the gang are as busy as ever, putting on parties all over town. Look out for them at the much anticipated Frequency festival in September, more on that next week.

For now enjoy the long, dubbed out and very funky 'Long stayer',

Rock the Discotheque!

Rock the Disco Mix - Matt Neale (Basement Soul/NYSoul Records, 1hr14min/85MB, Divshare)

Really pleased to be able to post this mix for a number of reasons; it's a great mix, by really good DJ and he's from our bit of the south coast in sunny Brighton. It's a spot-on selection that should keep the dancers and the spotters happy, and the last track is an all time favourite of mine!

Matt's not content to DJ, but is also founder of the label NYSoul Records and disco special agent within the Unique Uncut collective/record label, and one of the promoters of the Basement Soul club sessions. An obsessive collector of disco for many years with a dangerous leaning towards the dark side of rock. Keep your eye out for the Basement Soul edit series on KAT Records as well as new releases on NYSoul Records and Unique Uncut.

Catch him playing at these summer parties;

August 15^th – Om Bar, Kemp Town, Brighton

August 29^th – Embassy Bar, Islington, London

September 12^th – Audio, Kemp Town, Brighton
