More Ari Up

The tributes to punk legend Ari Up of the Slits keep coming.

Ari, who died last week at the tragically young age of 49, is eulogised by none other than DJ Twitch of Optimo over at the Dummy magazine website, including the story of the first time he met her.

Melody Maker/Plan B editor Everett True has also posted his own tribute at Collapse Board. It includes extracts from some interviews he did with Ari, some videos, and best of all a link to download the "official" Slits bootleg record from 1980, jointly released by Rough Trade and Y Records.

Lono - Hello El Oh En Oh Mix
Mount Heart Attack are one of Glasgow's finest nights, spinning a twisted mix of wonk, techno, garage and everything in between, they bang the hell out of La Cheetah (Max's Kansas City) once a month. Last month saw the legendary Jason Leach knock the fuck out of it, and this saturday sees them bringing Ben Pest and 3d!t along for the party (11-3, 7/8bucks.) For now, Resident Lono's put together a surreal mix of country, electro, garage and wha? Awesome.

Twitch Mixing for LuckyMe
You don't really need to be told much about LuckyMe / Ballers Social at the moment - they're deservedly media darlings, and put out HudMo's first big hit before Warp snapped him up. However, their mixtape series is awesome and is up to the 70th now, including Rustie, HudMo, Hrdvision and more. I've just got round downloading Twitch's mix for them, and it's awesome. No tracklisting, no clues, it's Twitch. Go download.
