Influences: DJ Marky
Influential tracks are not always favourite tracks, but they are the ones that open up the mind to previously uncharted musical ideas and inspire creations. That said, a compiler is unlikely to put tracks they do not enjoy on an 'Influences' type compilation, instead opting for music that they hold dear and tracks that they hope will inspire wonderment in their audience. In the hot seat for this compilation released on London's BBE records is Brazilian D&B producer and DJ Marky.
Influences: DJ Marky is actually an incredible body of music, featuring everything from sweet guitar driven cuts sourced from his home country, to soulful grooves, fantastic house efforts and buoyant disco, before finishing at breakneck D&B. There isn't a poor track on this compilation, with personal favourites including the percussive magic of the live version of Gabor Sazbo's Little Boat (O Barqinho), Raphael Saadiq's glorious Skyy, Can You Feel Me? and Sky's glorious Here's To You. Marky may be known for making a particular style of music, but this compilation shows that he is a true music lover with exquisite taste.

Sónar 2010 – Barcelona, Spain
The festival attracts a lot of outsiders, but the Mediterranean, Spanish and more specifically Catalan nature of the people makes the festival what it is. Catalan people are passionate and this passion is infectious. The atmosphere is electric in Barcelona as a city and heightened by music and intoxicants at Sónar.

Summer Party Naval Styles at Seven RestoLounge
Oysters, like wine are affected by terroir and these Miyagi’s flavor profiles ranged with one showing a cleaner, almost tropical profile and the other being more salty, marine driven. As I was devouring the seemingly endless plates put in front of us, I sipped on a glass of fine sauvignon blanc.

Predictions 2010.. and beyond!
So 2010 eh? Almost but not quite (no year zero they say) another decade? It seems like just yesterday that the world was waiting for Y2K. R4NT started publishing in March 2001, so we’re not quite 10 years old yet, but in internet years we are already a senior citizen.

Invictus
No matter what, the reality of Nelson Mandela is something that deserves screen time. Should this film even remotely intrigue the masses to take interest in this figure, the world would likely benefit greatly from it.
