Going in completely the opposite direction of my more up beat post with Klever, a majorly wet morning followed by a sky completely covered with Cirrocumulus Clouds in Brighton has seen my mood somewhat relaxed and complaisant and I’d like to thank Woolfy’s new EP for this and I want to thank him a lot.

“Sunday clears away the rust of the whole week.” I’m unashamedly trying to put another Irishman on the map here, Dublin-based DJ/producer/promoter/renaissance man Frankie Grimes.

Collaborations are great aren’t they? Great minds coming together, sharing skills and ideas, all contributing into making one final amazing outcome.

Millions long for immortality who don’t know what to do with themselves on a rainy Sunday afternoon. Despite our busy schedules, being pressed for time and wishes for more than twenty-four hours in a day, we always find Sunday the perfect day to kick away all the obligations and take some well-deserved me-time.

Part of the beauty of being a part of a merry band of musical scoundrels as we are is that you can stake your trousers on the fact that if there’s one thing we do well here, its diversity. As a beloved reader of TRUANTS, (and we do love you, you know – real, actual […]

So Mad Decent are making shoes now? I don’t know if I speak for all of the Truants, but these are not to my taste. That Mumdance fella, on the other hand, he’s delivering the goods. Champion of global bass, his latest Mad Decent EP came out just this week and if there’s one track […]
