Seven Hours Of The Flightpath Estate At Blossom Street

If last Sunday's mix, seven and a half hours of the Flightpath Estate DJs playing at The Golden Lion's AW61 celebrations in April, wasn't enough for you our outing at Blossom Street Social two weeks previously has just gone up on Mixcloud too- me, Martin, Dan and guest Rob Fletcher playing a seven hour fifteen minute vinyl only set on the afternoon and evening of 17th March. The full set can be found at Blossom Street Social's Mixcloud. It was the first time a test pressing of our album got played out in the wild, exciting for us even if it didn't exactly stop the traffic in Ancoats. In the end we played five tracks from it- Justin Robertson's Deadstock 33s, Rude Audio, Hardway Bros, Andy Bell's cover of Smokebelch and The Light Brigade's Human : Remains. 

Rob Fletcher was the man behind Herbal Tea Party, a 90s clubbing institution in Manchester. It started out at the New Ardri in Hulme and moved to Rockworld, midweek techno and electronic music nights that hosted gigs by Andrew Weatherall, Sabres Of Paradise playing live, Orbital, Fabio Paras, The Drum Club, Sven Vath, Psychick Warriors Of Gaia, Justin Robertson and David Holmes among the guests. Rob's got an exhibition at Electric in Chorlton to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Herbal Tea Party- fliers, posters, tickets plus some recordings of sets and gigs- which has its opening night this Thursday. If you're in the area, pop down and say hello. 

The set from Blossom Street is a live recording, the Tascam plugged directly into the decks and mixer so there are a few glitches and errors- the sound levels were a bit variable, deck two seeming to drop down in volume at times and the odd technical error here and there (one of us accidentally turning a turntable off at one point and another thinking a record was playing when they were hearing it through the headphones only). Some of the mixing may be a bit hit and miss too; mine especially. If it's perfection you're after, we may not be the people you're looking for. Our tune selection however...
