Home Swede Home

So thanks to the Klubb Physique guys for a great weekend in Sweden and a fun gig on Saturday. It’s cool to go to another country to play records, a real buzz. Last year Romania, this year Sweden, as I continue to tour countries that were successful in the 1994 World Cup. If any Bulgarians […]

Blind Test

Hercules and Love Affair featuring Antony-Blind (Original Mix)

Hercules and Love Affair featuring Antony-Blind (Hercules Club Mix)

Hercules and Love Affair featuring Antony-Blind (Frankie Knuckles Mix)

So there is lots and lots of chat about this. Let’s not use the word “hype”, since it means less and less each day. Which version, if any, do you like?
I heard […]

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 […]

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 […]

Some Records For The Weekend

Just a quick post to point you to the latest What People Play roundup and also a chart I’ve done for the good guys over at French blog/zine Get The Curse. Check these out and I’ll be back properly on Monday.

Minimal I am

What is the point of the Black Eyed Peas? I can handle pop music plenty but I’ve always really hated their weird plastic tracks, especially the “dancehall” ones. So some of you may have heard that annoying new Will I Am track with the “baby where you get your body from” hook. Anyway, if you […]

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 […]

&nd &nd! &nd

Not to be confused with Audion, though unfortunately it must be inevitable, are Audision. I really like some of what these guys have done for Mirau in the past, remixing Tensnake’s first big record “Around The House” first, but I liked their “I Say Mista” remix from earlier in the year even more, a slow […]

Schill Out

Just when you thought there weren’t any gimmicks left to sell chill out compilations, that posh hotels and bars were boring, or that cheesy cover versions were clichéd, you realise you were wrong. I read this on an Irish dance forum today, apparently Michael Caine has compiled one now!
He’s been quoted as saying: “I’ve […]

A Rose by many other names

So, the plot thickens as regards this remix of Saint Germain’s “Rose Rouge”. One reader kindly sent me a link to one of the Rhadoo versions, though it wasn’t the one that is in the Luciano set I heard. But that makes sense since according to Jay Haze there are two versions of this […]
