House Is A Feeling

So I think I’ll be going to Fabric this weekend to see DJ Koze (who seems to have suddenly become the most talked about person in house/techno, for whatever reason) Wighnomy Brothers, Reinhard Voigt, Sebo K, and Guillaume/Coutu Dumonts. It’s prob one of the most appealing lineups I’ve seen so let’s hope it goes well. […]

1. Oleg Poliakov-Rainy Dayz (Portable Mix) (Circus Company)
On this release Portable takes one of Oleg Poliakov’s original tracks for the thriving Circus Company and makes the “Dayz” even rainier. The effect is instant, coming on like a 10am journey home in winter, a howl in the swirling vortex of that is house in 2009.

2. Achim […]

While I prepare a chart for you all (A real chart, just like the old days! Then after we’ll go for steaks. What do you mean we never went for steaks? I was busy. Stop making this about me for Christ’s sake!) go and get this Chaton set which was recorded for Munich club Harry […]

Just a quick note to say that HIAF@Pygmalion on South William Street in Dublin will now take place on Friday May 15th. If you’re keen to check out the venue, Konrad Black will play there this Sunday.

For those of you who have Spotify, I’m wondering if you’ve found any good house and techno on it. Despite it being an amazing resource for all sorts of other stuff I can’t say I’ve found it to be overflowing with dance music.
For those of you who don’t know what Spotify is, it’s basically a […]

First, a disclaimer: I love Losoul’s music and have done for a long time. I first got into the dark gothic stuff he was doing around the time of “Getting Even” in 2004.  The extended version of “You Know” (streamed via Youtube below) which came out on a one sided vinyl at the time is […]

“Are you being sarcastic?”/”Dude, I don’t even know anymore.”
It’s funny how this decade’s techno meta-tracks seem encapsulated by the above Simpsons scene.
Marc Houle’s “Techno Vocals” was a good example, the low warbling vocal seemingly making fun of previous M_nus releases. Yet the record was released on that label and ended up being a pretty big […]

So it seems after a short break T-Bar is due to reopen in Houndsditch near Liverpool Street. Will you be going?
I was a huge fan of the old T, which was the one club in London I felt like I could go to every week without losing my mind (unless I chose otherwise.)
What I mean […]

So those of you in Dublin may have heard about Pygmalion, a new club/bar in the Powerscourt Centre on South William Street.
Starting on Friday May 15th I’ll be doing a monthly HIAF residency at the Pyg, which should be really great fun and a great chance to play some of the records I mention here […]

It’s an interesting time for the Prins. These days it seems the weird blend of folk, rock, disco, dub, and house he’s helped to infect the world’s dancefloors with is still growing in popularity. But it was a curiously slow rise to prominence from the Feedelity days, almost 6/7 years ago now.
Back in 2003 or […]
