House Is A Feeling

Just a quick post to point you to the latest What People Play roundup and also a chart I’ve done for the good guys over at French blog/zine Get The Curse. Check these out and I’ll be back properly on Monday.

What is the point of the Black Eyed Peas? I can handle pop music plenty but I’ve always really hated their weird plastic tracks, especially the “dancehall” ones. So some of you may have heard that annoying new Will I Am track with the “baby where you get your body from” hook. Anyway, if you […]

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 […]

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 […]

Just when you thought there weren’t any gimmicks left to sell chill out compilations, that posh hotels and bars were boring, or that cheesy cover versions were clichéd, you realise you were wrong. I read this on an Irish dance forum today, apparently Michael Caine has compiled one now!
He’s been quoted as saying: “I’ve […]

So, the plot thickens as regards this remix of Saint Germain’s “Rose Rouge”. One reader kindly sent me a link to one of the Rhadoo versions, though it wasn’t the one that is in the Luciano set I heard. But that makes sense since according to Jay Haze there are two versions of this […]

The feeling of night turning into morning is one I’m sure most of you are familiar with. Whether you’re in a house or outdoors or even in a club, sometimes records come along that seem to encapsulate that 5am feeling. And one side of the new Mountain People 12 is definitely a case in point.
The […]

Radiohead fan Ripperton is definitely one of the most consistently pleasing producers out there, for me. Currently he seems to be straddling the divide between minimal, deep house, and trance with considerable aplomb. And I guess the producers and DJs who can do that at the moment are the ones who are thriving.
A lot of […]

So it seems Fabric are wheeling out the big guns for their comps this year, with Ewan Pearson, Steve Bug, and Ricardo Villalobos mixes all on the way.
It’s a pretty appetising lineup, even if Resident Advisor shows a weird mix up where the same cover is shown for both the Bug and […]

There’s a lot of buzz from Tuning Spork about a new single by Jay Haze and Ricardo Villalobos, called “Free Your Mind”. This is their Ibiza smash I’m told. I just got it to do the press for it today (so discount my opinion if you think this makes me a schill.) In any case […]
