Swish Spins - The Experiment
Ok, so here’s the confession. Inside me there is a DJ trapped waiting to get out, I like radio, but on the real, I cant’ really find many shows I love, so here’s how it’s gonna work: From time to time I’ll post the play list here:
At the moment this is…
(1) Partly me spinning records for me, and partly me giving you the heads up on what we like sonically over here at TRANSTATIC.
(2)If you’d like to actually hear the set for yourself - holler.
(3) If enough people do (2) then we’ll put out the show, if not I’ll revert to (1:)

Oh My Daze!
Yes, that is correct spelling, I really meant to say ‘daze’. Such is the euphoria after this weekend’s off-the-handle celebrations for the launch of record label and my life into its 26th orbit of the calendar. Was joined by the fabulous Abimaro for a joint b’day celebration that I won’t forget in a hurry. Great people, great vibe, nuff love. Big up’s to all the acts: hang-tight Poet Michaela who soldieried it all the way down from Brum to be there. Plus James Crooke, what can I say, ”dude!”, watch out for him, had the crowd pulling up his acoustic brit pop (not something you see every day) - such a dark horse he leaves charcoal hoof prints - trust. Asah Shabazz blessed the mic with some awesome flows, including the stellar ‘better now’.
In all, a beautiful start for TRANSTATIC. Thanks for showing out e’rybody, God willing we’ll do it all again in a couple months, don’t sleep.

- Pointing…
- you to the new facebook page, check it out, go wild and ‘Become a fan’. While your there on facebook, you can also join the J-Word appreciation society we’ve set up. It takes it’s name from a piece I wrote 3 years ago that people seem to still enjoy - hence the facebook group.
- Tinkering…
- around with a few new instruments, not quite what the neon-red astronauts were playing at Kanye’s grammy gig (what was that!!) - but off the handle all the same.
- Distributing…
- invites for the official TRANSTATIC launch (publishers of Selected Swishes), it’s on the evening of next Friday 22nd. I was going to say secret launch, but some of you may have the heads up via facebook. Thanks if you’ve gotten back with an RSVP online or otherwise. If you haven’t had a chance yet, we’ve got pairs of invites up for grabs, so register for the verbswish.com site TODAY and your name gets added to the guestlist. We’ll email you the location (ooooh).
