Happy new year all ... 2011 is going to be amazing time for UK music, trust me. We're ripe and ready ... living proof was at Maida Vale last month for the 'Festive Festival' where Wretch 32, Katy B & James Blake amoungst others blew my head off. James Blake's super sparse/lots of room for audible error was an amazing and engrossing performance blew a lot of us here @ BBC Radio 1 away. Here was my view from the balcony. My latest food escapades have been heavily focused on Macaroni Cheese. Although its probably mashing up my arteries, I'm willing to deal with it for the foreseeable future as my addiction is proving hard to fight! Here is my latest one I had in East London. I was emotional .. Speaking of more unhealthy refreshments, I got a coffee machine for Crimbo off my lovely Ma & Pa. I can now make posh coffee from the yard. This is also a problem After crimbo it was all about NYE; I did a show in Bristol & one in London. My 12 O'clock moment was a mash up between the Big Ben Bells & Katy B's 'On a Mission'. It was a moment, summing up what an amazing year 2010 was for UK music... Although when Serocee picked up my bottle of champagne and sprayed it over the crowd it was personally a bit of a anti climax as I was left with a warm can of beer instead. I let him off though for having the deepest headphones in the game. Catch him doin 'Serocee's Sound Snippets' on my show on Wednesday 25th of Jan; 5 minutes of the latest Reggea, Dancehall & Bashment Vibes outta the Caribean. And you may still have time to listen again to my show from last week which was all about new music and artists to look out for in 2011. On that note, I'll leave you with a pic from NYE gig @ motion in Bristol. It was a wicked night. Peaaaaaaaaace. Tx
