House Music — I like this.
Here’s some stuff from the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 I am feeling, it’s not quite a top ten just yet. I did buy some new tracks today also but I’ll let them sink in before they get a mention (or no mention at all)
1. Minimono-Minimono LP (Tuning Spork):
I stopped doing […]
People are saying “it’s that time of year” incessantly, so I suppose it must be that time of year. What time of year? That time of year when it is time for the year to come to an end, and people mark this in various ways, eg saying “it’s that time of year” everytime they […]
Some of you may know of the Hamburg based distributor Word and Sound, who carry a huge portion of the labels I discuss here or play on the radio show. And some of you may also have been familiar with their small digital store Playwas (now defunct, so I won’t link to it).
Well, after a […]
It’s nice to see Prosumer has done the latest Resident Advisor Podcast, given he’s had a few cool releases over the years. I guess I first became familiar with him when he did vocals on Sebo K’s “Moved”, a single from early last year on Mobilee. He’s probably one of the best vocalists around at […]
If you’re one of the podcast subscribers or have listened to some of the recent radio shows or mixes around here (this one or this one in particular) you may have noticed I’ve been playing “Gualia” and “Manipulation” by an artist called Johnny D quite a bit. They’re both from a recent release on Federico […]
I found this recent article in the Guardian about the birth of rave in the UK really interesting. I guess now these names, Paul Oakenfold, Danny Rampling, Johnny Walker, etc have become synonymous with so many bloated dance brands that you don’t really think of them as people who played a role in popular culture […]
Click here to download last night’s show direct or copy and paste this link into itunes to subscribe to the show as a podcast. If anyone has any problems just let me know in the comments. I really enjoyed recording the show last night and I think it’s one of the best in a little […]
Not to be confused with Audion, though unfortunately it must be inevitable, are Audision. I really like some of what these guys have done for Mirau in the past, remixing Tensnake’s first big record “Around The House” first, but I liked their “I Say Mista” remix from earlier in the year even more, a slow […]
It seems Beatport is a mortal enemy for a lot of people in techno these days, but while I agree it lacks any real character or the sense of knowledge that you associate with really great record stores, I’m not sure it seeks to hold those traits. Beatport is not a cultural hub like many […]
Isolée has done a few remixes over the last year, one for Lopazz’s return to Get Physical (am I the only one who found that entire 12 a major disappointment, let’s not forget Lopazz opened a gig in Dublin with Thin Lizzy’s “Whiskey In The Jar”) and another for Irish producer and Mixmag writer Gavin […]
