A couple of weeks ago Claude and Marcus went into the studio with two guests DJs Whatnot and Trufflehunter for a special B2B mixing session on the technics – and the show is now here for you to download in MP3 form.

Higher Ground has been resident of Portland Square’s underground venue/bar Cosies for over a year now, and brings the funk down on a bi-monthly basis – with big Bristol guests always heading the bill, and funk, soul, hip hop and reggae pertruding from the Friday night Bristol air. Whatnot and Trufflehunter themselves have been about Bristol for quite some time now and most recently featured on the DMZ / Skull Disco lineup at Motion skate park, rocking the outdoor terrace with some silly disco skills.

The two hour set here is a mix of warm-up ambient, breaks and hip hop, before things get a bit filthy about 45 minutes in and the dubstep / techno tip comes to the fore. All, of course, interspered with some lovely microphone work from Claude (and one or two technical glitches). Rare Flying Lotus bootlegs sit alongside classics from Leftfield, and of course some brand spanking new tunes from modern names like Ramadanman, Geiom, Appleblim, and so on. Bass from both local and far away lands – with four St Pauls DJs at the helm.  Find the download link and tracklist in the playlists section. More updates concerning the show coming soon !!!
