House Is A Feeling

I notice the “tripping up disableds” line has been edited out of this piece.
It originally said: And yes, we’re more than aware we’re not the first people to take the piss out of Richie Hawtin, and we know he’s an easy target. That just makes it more fun, like tripping up disableds.
I found the whole […]

Here we go. Lots to check out here including a great new comp on Sonar Kollektiv.

I’m enjoying the Robert Johnson April mixtape. It is as its titled, a mixtape, not a mix, and features a pretty diverse range of guys and girls like Edith Piaf, Fad Gadget, Tiefschwarz, Delia Derbyshire, and the Bureau, with some Strictly Rhythm for good measure. It’s soundtracked me buying food on numerous occasions, no doubt […]

In the spirit of not actually talking about this with a straight face and general bemusement at Hawtin’s quest to make people who hate him hate him even more, I’ve compiled a list of future markets for Richie Hawtin which aren’t funny.

What next, Richie aftershave?

Had a quick look in to Luke Solomon at T last night, though he may have finished by the time we got there. It was pretty quiet and the highlight was someone playing Paperclip People’s “Steam”.

Although the specifics may be different (obviously nobody really had the above dream, certainly […]

It’s not got anything to do with dance music particularly but is a really strong selection of rock and pop which will let you discover some acts you might not have heard before if you’re interested in that.
Can […]

Check out my latest WPP Roundup here. (I actually did this late last week but forgot to provide the link)

So I managed to get to Fabric at about 1 or 2am on Saturday, and saw some of DJ Koze, a little Sebo K, Guillaume and the Coutu Dumonts, and an hour or so of the Wighnomy Brothers, before stumbling madly into the morning.
I found most of the acts pretty good without being outstanding, I […]

As far as London on Sunday is concerned I’m thinking the Escape from New York rooftop party at the Queen of Hoxton rooftop terrace (I’ve got it on good authority this place is good) with Holy Ghost from DFA Records and some others, possibly followed by Losoul who is playing in Bar Music Hall on […]
