House Is A Feeling

So I’ve been to Berlin and Dublin since last doing a proper post. Unfortunately my trip to Berlin was quite clubless. Due to illness I spent most of the time on my friend’s floor, shivering and having delerious dreams about something to do with the window. I wouldn’t recommend it.
I did manage to go to […]

Here you go. The big news for WhatPeoplePlay this week is that Sistrum is now on board. A great chance to pick up all those excellent 12s as good quality MP3s or Wavs.

I’ve been sitting on this for a week or so but now for no particular reason here is my first mix since July or so. It’s named the ten foot forest, because that’s where it was recorded, and because the above forest is a defining part of life for all who know its thickset branches. […]

So who is the man behind the mask? Well I don’t actually know.
But if you’ve heard Anonym’s music on Bloop or Sushitech you may be wondering the same thing. If you haven’t then this live set, recorded at Tresor, should be the right introduction. This set is called the “Huis Is A Feeling” since “Huis” […]

So the first guest mix in some time is by JC Freaks, aka Werner Niedermeier and Anthea Nzekwu. The duo have released just one single, “The Rock”, on Mojuba’s new sub-label, Wandering.
It’s been around quite a lot but if you haven’t heard it you could go and do so on their Myspace. They’ve kindly done […]

I’m uploading the first guest mix in a long time right now, but in the meantime check out some RA reviews I’ve done, of singles from the recently unmasked Arto Mwambé, Jens Zimmermann, and Langenberg.

This “donk” thing has already been mentioned over at Blissblog. The techno connection through the Donk Boys has also been flagged up. I wonder have they heard this yet?
I love that this record is so comfortably anti-establishment, so effortlessly vulgar. It must be gloriously offensive to the kind of self appointed connaisseurs who act as […]

If you live away from where you grew up, you’ll probably have noticed how each time you go home it seems less like home. This is how Dublin feels for me. Everywhere is familiar, old places I worked, or bars or cafés, but you can’t escape the fact that you aren’t a part of the […]
