Uniqlo House

So since coming over here I’ve been in and out of Uniqlo a bit, which is basically a Japanese version of H&M. The reason I mention this is that the music there is really strange for a high street shop.
It’s like the 00s never happened, like the hiphop and R&B and electrohouse and “new rock” […]

Friday Chart

No particular order.
1. Break SL-Laguna Seca (Philpot)

Some of you might remember I included Break SL’s “Flow” in my top 30 for 2007, and so it’s good he’s finally back with a new four track EP. This will be on limited green transparent vinyl, with just 500 copies. I especially love the title track here, a […]

Temporarily Unemployed Chart

I’m really enjoying some of the releases and tracks that have come out in the last 2 weeks or so, which is good because I’m waiting to start my new job and I’ve 4 weeks of doing nothing to go! Some of these I like so much that I was going to give them individual […]

HIAF Guest Mix 5: Federico Molinari and Vera (Oslo)

So this one won’t come as a surprise to anyone who reads this blog regularly, it’s Federico Molinari and his cohort Vera, from Oslo Records. Oslo is a label that excites me more than most right now, and I know others have been enjoying their stuff too. Federico and Vera recorded this mix for the […]

Fresh Quarion

The Quarion remix on this is really blowing my head off at the moment. Trancey deep house for this fucking freezing January weather. We need to invent the snowy beach party for this music.

The Meantime Mini Chart

Here’s some stuff from the end of 2007 and the beginning of 2008 I am feeling, it’s not quite a top ten just yet. I did buy some new tracks today also but I’ll let them sink in before they get a mention (or no mention at all)
1. Minimono-Minimono LP (Tuning Spork):

I stopped doing […]

Tracks of my Year

People are saying “it’s that time of year” incessantly, so I suppose it must be that time of year. What time of year? That time of year when it is time for the year to come to an end, and people mark this in various ways, eg saying “it’s that time of year” everytime they […]

Words and Sounds

Some of you may know of the Hamburg based distributor Word and Sound, who carry a huge portion of the labels I discuss here or play on the radio show. And some of you may also have been familiar with their small digital store Playwas (now defunct, so I won’t link to it).
Well, after a […]

Prosumably

It’s nice to see Prosumer has done the latest Resident Advisor Podcast, given he’s had a few cool releases over the years. I guess I first became familiar with him when he did vocals on Sebo K’s “Moved”, a single from early last year on Mobilee. He’s probably one of the best vocalists around at […]

Oslo-ve

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 […]
