Come on in, the blogosphere is warm

So first things first, get yourself over to London promoter Warm’s blog to check out a mix Mark E has done for them. On the hottest day of the year this is a good tip, slow and low, as you’d expect. It’s funny, listening to this and Anton Zap’s mix for Roof (or Daniel Stefanik’s […]

I need flatmates

And here is as good a place to advertise as any. I live in East London. Mail me for details. You could live in the dream factory where the webs of this very blog are spun. You’d also have a fairly large freezer.

Some gigs

Yo I’ve just started a new job (in kids TV, lol) so things are a little busy this week but just a quick note about some gigs. On Friday 29th I’ll be playing at Jam Bar on Shoreditch High Street in the basement for the Phone night, which goes till about 3am. These parties are […]

Dreamer G-I’ve Got That Feeling

If you’re in need of a good finger wagging “oh no you didn’t” house track of a Thursday afternoon then just turn this up. I heard it on Jus Ed’s show from Roof FM, after being released first in 1992 it seems it’s been reissued. How can you not like this baudy house stuff? The […]

Arto Mwambé at T-Bar-Friday June 5th

So I just heard yesterday that I’ll be playing before Arto Mwambé at High Horse in the new T-Bar on Friday June 5th. This should be loads of fun, it’s a real buzz to get to play at T so I’m looking forward to it, and to seeing the Arto guys play. Come down and […]

Zap

Get over to Roof FM to check out what seems to be a short live mix by Anton Zap. I’ve listened to this twice today and it’s great, real propulsive house rhythms with some dub techno melodies, a good combination at a time when there’s so much formulaic dub techno about.

“B1 is the one for me”

You all probably know what “feedback” means in techno. In 1745 British traders travelling through what is now Berlin used the term when exchanging a harpsichord for several bags of salt, and it has been embraced by Europeans ever since.
They have added their continental flair to the term: eg “give us your feedbacks” has a […]

Gonzalez breaks Guinness World Record for longest continuous piano concert

I watched quite a bit of Gonzalez doing this live last night and it was about the most vital thing I’ve ever seen on a Sunday night at 1am (challenged only by many life changing Tiffany Amber-Thiessen TV movies involving murderous wives/drifters)
Gonzalez, whose sleazy weird concerts some of you may remember, performed for 27 hours, […]

HouseIsAFeeling@Pygmalion

You know you’re DJing in Dublin when somebody beside the booth repeatedly shouts “you dirty cunt!” and it’s a compliment.
Last night was the first monthly HIAF night at Pygmalion on South William Street in my home city, and it couldn’t have gone much better even if I say so myself. The place is being turned […]

Fuck

Fuck, just a quick post as I fight the utter tedium of burning CDs, to point you towards some good listening material.
Go here to check out some of Johan Agebjorn’s mixes and while you’re there check out Sally Shapiro’s new single, which sees her owning the holy motherfuck out of the twee italo market (I […]
