Antony Kein is back with another journey through his blissful record collection for AB 16. It’s been a while since Mr Kein has serenaded us but it hasn’t been all cocktails and sun-kissed ladies by the pool for our man in Greece, …we promise! His recent mix on The Growing Bin blog is testament of that.

Apart from the aforementioned pool party extravaganzas, of which he never attends, (…promise?) Antony has kindly found time to don his Alfredo Pants and his Harvey …hat to serve up a deep sunset infused weapon, fit for more than just the summer months. Not bad for someone who never indulges in the wistful, dream-like adventures eluded to in his vast music collection…..

We imagine this is what 007 listens to when he’s spending some quality-time the latest post-badguy-squeeze,  somewhere in the Mediterranean. Music selection at it’s best.

Having caught him play Yello and other grips in Belfast over the years, we’ve been on to his mixes for a while. To give you an idea of what to expect, the Belfast native was the first person to introduce me to Patrice Scott, John Daly and importantly Kevin Reynolds, who MN brought over from Detroit a few years ago.

A quick scan through the tracklist hints at Paul’s taste for all things deep, hypnotic and percussive and a quick listen confirms just that. Enjoy!

Happy New Year one n’all!!

The new year brings with it a new podcast. This time from Amen Brother favourite Long Distance Dan. Dan’s been busy with his blog the Left Hand Side lately, sniffing out some of the best underground hip hop you’ll hear around the interwebz. (And you can beleee dat!!! *gets coat)

Dan’s first AB mix was a selection of heavy psych numbers and one of our most popular to date. This time, however, he has delivered a completely different monster for your, one or more, ear holes. Never treading too far from the signature psych undertones, he’s gone for a more contemporary and electronic sounding selection of breatz and beakz. From tripped-out funk and psych to rap and back, enjoy this wee mix a big bit!!

Long Distance Dan will also be joining Amen Brother for a few sessions in The Castle, London this February. More info on all that very soon.
