Julio Bashmore is a Bristolian Bass Boy.His Battle For Middle You from last year is probably already familiar to you, but it is absolutely worth taking a closer his other releases.

This particular track on Broadwalk Records, has been championed by the likes of Gilles Peterson who delighted a rather sodden crowd at the recent Eurostar Traction Festival by dropping it during a downpour getting everyone swinging umbrellas and dancing in the rain.

The festival was part of London’s ramp up to the Olympics. that starts next week.

I’m Loving the warming vibe of Well Wishers too so do listen to more on his Youtube channel.

Carnivalism Fridays No.112 – The Tide Is High – The Paragons

carnivalism — Fri, 06 Jul 2012 09:08:22 +0000

The rocksteady boys from Kingston Jamaica, paint a poignant backdrop as the UK prepares for a summer weekend of flooding (yawn). Anyway, enough of that, what a cracking song that has been overshadowed somewhat from the success Blondie enjoyed with the track some thirteen years later in 1980.

Carnivalism Fridays No.110 – Jay Williams – Testify – The U.B.P. Sunday Vocal

carnivalism — Fri, 22 Jun 2012 09:58:46 +0000

Soulful House has had it’s ups & downs, it’s good, bad & downright ugly. Singer/Songwriter Jay Williams thankfully fell into the better side of the genre.

I think everyone knows about our soft-spot of those huge gopsel lyrics so this release from 1997 has to have a mention.
