In ten days time the channel hopping label Peur Bleue are coming down to the basement with Brian Not Brian , Benoit B and Nick Araguay for what's shaping up to be quite a function . We asked the man with the firmest handshake in the game, Going Good head honcho Brian Not Brian to pick a few choice Youtube musical oddities and rare recordings of live stuff to get you warmed up in the meantime!

DJ SHOCKOUT - Live NYC 1979 (Old School Hip Hop Breakbeat Mixtape)

"Okay, I know virtually nothing about this, or even if it's from 1979 at all. But the selection, the way it's put together & the overall aesthetic is nuts. A very faithful tribute to the Zulu Beat shows & the like of the 80's of which I'm a big fan. 100% Disco breaks being cut up, what's not to like?"

Kenny Larkin - Timezones Mix

"One of THE best House/Techno mixes out there. This one has been on heavy rotation for the last year, Kenny just killing it with selection, mixing & overall flair. A highly underrated DJ! Pure heat."

Terry Riley rare footage, live in the 70s

"Amazing footage of Terry Riley doing his thing somewhere in London (I think?) in the 1970's. A couple of minutes of watching & you're totally sucked in, his playing interspersed with footage of nature & the world going by is quite a heady mix."

(There's a second part too:)

Parliament-Funkadelic - The Mothership Connection (1976)

"One of the best live gigs I've ever seen courtesy of the power of the internet! Just amazing. They open the show with a blazing version of "cosmic slop" & you're 100% locked in to the end!"

Spiritual Guru Alice Coltrane

"These surreal public access TV ads of Alice offering spiritual guidance make me feel good, we've never had anything like this on TV here in the UK. Next level brilliance. Oh yeah, there's a part 2 also!"
