House Is A Feeling

Dear Consumer Watchdog,
I am a young (ish) DJ living in Dublin, Ireland. I recently purchased 3 tracks from Argenis Brito’s fine LP on Cadenza at the shambolic but often gem heavy MP3 division of Word and Sound
Sadly, when I went to play these tracks yesterday in my home , I noticed the volume is […]

Other people on Martin’s guestlist included Tiger Woods, Ian Paisley, Osama Bin Laden, and of course long time techno fan Elijah Wood.

If you have any interest in house music, do yourself a really big favour and download Efdemin’s amazing (and free) Resident Advisor podcast.
For some, the fact that Efdemin is resident at the ever-hallowed German venue the Panorama Bar is enough said as regards his ability to select and mix house music. But even if a […]

Here are some more recent single reviews I’ve done for Resident Advisor. One of Crosstown Rebels latest release, another of Moon Harbour’s latest release, and finally a review of Ame’s “Balandine” in which my 5/5 score seems to have been a little too high for some.
In my defence I should say first of all that […]
