Well, it’s been a while since I’ve posted and a while since there’s been any activity here on lopsided. What can we say?

Sorry and we still love you? That’s true enough.

We’ve been busy little wonkers? Hey that’s true too!

However I’ve wandered from the point. So without further ado I present a new mix titled ‘Blatant Miscoding’. It’s a natural progression from ‘Clatter and Skrut‘ (in my head at least). Another rolling wonked out dancefloor mix. Encompassing fidgety stuff, San Fran house sounds, Garage, offkilter Electro, Off blast techno and other buff hype tuneage. No tracklist for this one so far. So you’ll just have to trust, download and listen. If you like any of my other mixes you’ll like this. Comments are always are welcome. Oh a feel free to email me your tunes and myspazz links.

Not quite sure what the little fella in the picture is up but he came form here

This is my next audio offering to the lopsided blog. It’s another dancefloor focused mix with virgin appearances on lopsided from wongo and Bird Peterson. Two producers who are on some hot sh*it right now. So watch our for the wongo wronged up loop workout and Peterson’s sheer elastic sideways dancefloor destroyer. Expect to hear more from these two in my future mixes, but for now here’s the tracklisting. I hope enjoy this mix and as usual comments and (sexual) expressions of love are welcome.

And now for something completely different. Not so much dancefloor as headphone listening this one. I’ve been wanting to do a mix like this for ages: low-slung, wonky hiphop, dubstep, skwee and lots of stuff that doesn’t really fit into any of those categories. If this is your first visit to this blog, the other mixes should give you a better idea of the flavour we’re trying to push. The idea of this one was to represent the more downbeat side of wonk.

This mix is dedicated to two of my bestest mates, Sarah “Slips” and Palmerama (aka Palmergeddon). Hope you like it. =]

Friday 14th March 2008
Al Duomo Restaurant, Pavilion Square, Brighton.

Lopsided is going underground, literally, as we invade the basement of Brighton’s favourite Italian restaurant Al Duomo on the 14th for a night of the wonkiest, filthiest beats. It’s our first Lopsided event ever and it looks set to be a top notch night of wobbling basslines, skronky synths and glitched out vocals all provided by your off-kilter beat bandits and Lopsided blog regulars Alex Stacey, Chris K and 2 Bit Thugs.

We’ve rocked the lopsided wonk sound at various clubs, bars and parties nationwide as well as promoting some of Brighton and London’s best mash ups. We’ll be packing an arsenal of the grittiest, glitchiest party-thrashing wonky dance music plus some exclusive production material so keep your ears peeled. Lopsided is a no holds barred party, not another ten to the dozen commercial club night. We’ll be smacking the wonky into the wee witching hours of 11pm - 4am and all for a mere five pounds sterling. We’re already hooking up some of the scene’s freshest and most innovative Djs & producers for our future parties so keep an eye on this blog and the myspace for details.

We’ll also be giving away free exclusive Lopsided mix CDs to lucky Brighton residents but if you’re a non-Brightonian you can download the new mix on this very blog – aren’t we nice. But let’s be honest there aint nothing like the real thing, so we’ll see you there.

A mix I did a while back but am just getting round to posting now. The Modeselektor lp was just about to be released and was the hottest thing in the world no question. Understandably, bpitch didn’t want me to post this mix at the time so I’ve held back til now. As mentioned elsewhere, this blog is about promoting music and if you like these tracks go buy them.

The tracklist without my ramblings is here.

Tracklist

1. the rip off artist - smartypants (tigerbeat6)

2. claude von stroke - birdshit (dirtybird)
great track and one of the only ones i don’t seem to have overplayed from the lp. i had to butcher it slightly and chop out the superwonky vocal that comes in later in the track (for the good of the mix like)
3. spoonbill - wakini sunlounge (omelette)
one of the lps of 2007 for sure. if you don’t know nestegg, believe me it’s worth ten bucks… strewth!!

i wish there was more useable stuff on this lp cause i love his style but ho hum…
7. zsa zsa laboum - tu veux ou tu veux pas (complete kaos)
wanted to get this in because everything else on the mix is was brand new when i did the mix nd this is from 1989 but still sounds wicked. i first heard this on a cassette with “acid para” written on it. it was mixed with a martin luther king speach. i’d love to find that mix again!
8. bassnectar - kick it complex (om records)
wicked big wobbly thing. would like to hear some new stuff from bassnectar.

So this is my first contribution to the blog and overdue it is too. Mr Stacey has been bending my ears to get it finished of for a fair while now. This mix has it’s beady eyes and sweaty feet firmly set on the dancefloor. A fat slice of tech wonk for your earholes. Turn your speakers up and put you pants on sideways. Comments welcome.

ChrisK - Fuck Yeah!
