To pre-empt the release of the Clodhoppa album, here’s a selection of the tunes and artists that have influenced its sound. From The Wombles (first record I owned) to Photek and all over the place in between, I hope you enjoy the ramble.

Welcome to black dog industries, the collective home for three musical projects: Clodhoppa makes organic broken beats and djs everything, Koro Inu makes electronic bass music, and Kovacs makes breaks.
There are mixes and radio shows to listen to and download (check the post archives) as well as tunes to listen to on the artist pages and even a few tunes to download for free.
Make yourself feel at home, the kettle’s on.

A whole heap of major bass action across tempos again for this show, but you were kind of expecting that, right? It’s even up the same night as the show. Now THAT’s organisizationedalized. Oh Ye.
You can stream loads of the archives on our mixcloud as well.

Here’s a bit of a remix I did for Mercry nominated Portico Quartet’s remix competition. You’ll not have seen me enter any of these usually, but I kind of fell a little in love with Cornelia’s great vocal on the track and fancied a play with it.
I think it’s more of a cover version than a full on remix, in that if Clodhoppa did the song as the band, it’d sound like this. Hope you like it.

Welcome to 2012!
Starting as I mean to go on, here’s yesterday’s show (I know, i’m going to try and keep up to date this year) and, ahem, erm, two from the end of last year. Shameful.
