Three Hours And Thirty Minutes Of The Flightpath Estate Live At Club Solo

On Thursday 18th July the northern chapter of The Flightpath Estate played an all vinyl DJ set at Club Solo, in person and streamed live on the third Thursday of every month out of Head in Stretford. Head is a fantastic bar, located in a former bank with pop culture and 60s/ 70s kitsch all over the walls and a lovely crowd. Me, Dan and Martin turned up to play with a box of records each and ended up overrunning the scheduled end time of 11pm by an hour. I took with our Flightpath Estate knitted Weatherdoll as a mascot, knitted by the talented Claire Doll and given to the Flightpath team after AW61 back in April. 

The set can be streamed from Mixcloud or downloaded here. It's three and a half hours long- the Mixcloud stream is a little quiet it seems but if you download it and play it through your music player you might be able to pump the volume up. As ever, our tune selection outweighs our technical ability- some of the segues and mixes are a little, erm, idiosyncratic. In terms of spirit though, I think the set is spot on and builds well. That the three of us don't really co-ordinate what we're bringing with us in advance, it's amazing that we can play records back- to- back and make it even vaguely coherent. We had loads of fun playing, thanks to Stephen for inviting us, and to Club Solo and to Head for having us. 

In terms of records it starts out dubby, gets faster and thumpier and ends with the Bunnymen. Richard Norris is well represented (under his own name and under his Time And Space Machine and Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve bands/ remix guises), there are a pair of tracks from our Sounds From The Flightpath Estate, a smattering of Andrew Weatherall records, a Mad Professor remix of the wonderful new Alex Kassian cover of E2- E4, and a superb, unreleased, white label cover version of Talking Heads' Once In A Lifetime by Joshua Idehen.
