The votes are in and we’re proud to announce that irk has won Solid Steel’s prestigious Guest Mix Of The Year award for the second year running! He’s now the title-holder for 2010 AND 2011. It was his mix from March, “irked vol. 5: It’s What Gets You Ahead In Life” which won it for him. What’s more, this is only his second year on the show, since his SS debut was in Jan 2010. That makes it 2 out of 2 so far. Thanks for listening, we’re going to celebrate with a Johnnie Walker Black Label, you should too. To Hitch, Cheers!

I should just mention, had a wicked night on Friday DJing at TempoClash in London alongside Kutmah, Om Unit, Bug, Jon Phonics. Big night, great crowd, cheers guys.

And now to business: my new mix is out! It’s a special collaboration mix for Solid Steel and Montreal-based bassmusic podcast J’aime Le Dubstep. On the sample front we’ve got Kenny Powers, Ron Burgundy, Southpark, Arrested, Heathers, A Night At The Roxbury, Adam And Joe, Brasseye and loads more. This is the first time I’ve crowd-sourced samples… over on Facebook I had a good laugh with folks from all over the world suggesting stuff from their favorite shows and movies that they’d like to have included. So I just did exactly what they said, great success! See what you reckon

Hot Rod Riot Scene – aww yeaaah.

Love this. First saw it flying in to Bali for a surf mission. Remember it vividly; was a big empty flight, tired from travelling, totally wasn’t expecting to see anything worthwhile, but ended up totally loving Hot Rod and stifling some serious out-loud laughter for the sake of appearing almost normal to the few people on board. Samberrrrrrrg!

Diamonds, marketing and how Dumb Ideas Are In Fact Dumb

irk — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 00:36:07 +0000

If you’re in marketing, kill yourself. No, please, really. Diamonds are not rare, in an economic sense, and people should stop buying in to it. Here’s an excellent article on the matter:

10 Facts About Diamonds You Should Know, on Neatorama

Also, unrelated, humans need to stop NOT calling people out on bullshit ideas. We are all entitled to our own opinions but we’re not entitled to our own facts. Water boils at 100 degrees.

“…And while people might enjoy studying Lit Crit or subscribe to fundamentalist religions, if they’ve got any sense they’ll notice that people acting in either of these two roles have rarely done anything tangible to better the overall lot of their fellow man… unlike all those rude, elitist, judgemental, snobby scientists, engineers, geeks and other educated types (who instinctively recognise that ideas vary in quality and efficacy, and have therefore been quietly and industriously changing the world for the better for the last few hundred years).” Big up.
