  Rick Wade

  When I first started really getting into deep house, there were a few names that were as good as gold for me: Theo Parrish, Moodymann, Morgan Geist, and Rick Wade. While the rest of those guys have all achieved a pretty large amount of fame, Rick Wade has remained something of a secret amongst deep […]

  Spring State

  Finally the spring semester is over! Only one more year of this school nonsense, then I too can join the great American workforce. Or something. Now, it’s time for some spring cleaning!
  First things first, we have a couple changes here at ISM that should make things slightly better for everyone. The most immediately useful change […]

  Delsin is a label synonymous with quality. ISM got head honcho Marsel van der Wielen to have a quick chat about a label that is now an institution. Dutch Gold, baby.

  Guest Mix: Scott Ferguson of Ferrispark Records

  04.21.08 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  Here at ISM, we are huge fans of genre-defying eclecticism. Not the ironic “Kenny G mixed into 3 Six Mafia” kind of thing, we like people who can use different styles of music to tell a story, to set a mood. We may primarily be a soulful dance music blog, but we are also music […]

  Guest Mix: Scott from Trackwerk Blog

  04.14.08 | Permalink | 10 Comments

  Continuing our ridiculous run of guest mixes is a new joint by our man Scott over at Trackwerk. They have been on a ridiculous roll themselves recently, dropping dope mixes from DJHistory.com forum cats like Richard Carnage, Jaz, Jitterbug, Solid State, and more. It’s a who’s who of online record nerds laying down ridiculous shit […]

  Out of This World

  Seems like we’re pretty productive over here at the moment. Logged on to post some music up and looks like I’ve been beaten to it by a (pretty impressive-looking) mix by gmos, which I have on the download now. So many heavy tracks on there - the Virgo LP, ‘Give It Up For Love’ by […]

  Dance Dance Dance (disco-house mix)

  Here’s something for the weekend, maybe get you in the mood for going out on the town or even winding down afterwards. It’s pretty eclectic, as usual, and I had no theme for this mix aside from having fun playing some favourites along with newer cuts. However, considering we don’t post mp3’s here, I did […]

  Guest Mix: Juju & Jordash - Moonship Journey

  04.07.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  We are very pleased to offer up a new guest mix by Juju & Jordash! On this mix, ISM’s boys in Amsterdam come through with a nice, relaxed selection of atmospheric joints ranging in genre from jazz to ambient to krautrock to techno. They really nailed my current mood, abstract and deep.
  JJ+J also recently released […]

  Buying Records in the 313

  I love going to Detroit, there’s so many good people and places it’s impossible to get to see them all. I did manage to sneak in a quick record buying binge on Saturday afternoon, though, and these are some of the people and places I saw on my hunt……..

  The first thing I do as soon […]
