horse latitudes | music for when the tide goes out

My visits to the latitudes, leaving parcels of goodness at your door are getting fewer and farther between.

Best known for his excursions into the outer limits of scifi electronics and freaky remixes, Joseph Quaid returns this week with a mix highlighting the influences and aspirations of the firemusic sound. It’s a head-y brew of deep detroit flavoured soul and futuristic afro rhythms boding well not just for the deep range series as […]

Sorry for the general lull round these parts in recent days/weeks, it’s partly the real world dominating our tender thought processes and a general, seasonal, sense of need to change and move on.
As easy as it is when there is a natural urgency and tempo to posting, sometimes you become more and more aware of […]

Time for the second kelly brother stag in a six months this time the action takes us to Brussels for a weekend of fine dining, quality ales and some ritual humiliation.
