Meatskull..Because Life’s Too Short For Boring Music


Pilooski Live at Mr. Saturday Night

The irrepressible Pilooski live in the mix va Eamon Harkin’s web spot.

“It’s been a very busy summer but now with Sunday Best and The Beach Party in full flight there’s a little breathing room in an otherwise hectic schedule to launch websites, release records and get through the general back log.

More to come on all of that in time but for now I’m happy to finally post a gem of a mix from Pilooski recorded live at the Mister Saturday Night loft/warehouse party from last month. No track list on this one but I can say its a treasure trove of edits from all the top players in the game. Just what you’d expect from the Parisian master. Here you go…”
