Not sure how I’ve not gotten around to make a post about my little holiday over to the States for DEMF, but I thought I’d say a few things about it now.

Deep Frequencies
Simon and Guillaume have been working with the Lucky Cloud soundsystem for some time, putting on some great parties including hosting David Mancuso’s London Loft sessions. More recently the guys have also been running Deepfrequency.com – an internet radio station par excellence. ISM caught up with them to talk about some of the history and…
Radio Action Tonight in Pittsburgh, Streaming Worldwide
Tonight Jwan Allen and I are taking over the Re-rewind radio show on WRCT 88.3 FM with our man Jake the Snake. We’re gonna be bringing all the illest new shit, plus classics and lesser known jams from the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 00s. You can definitely expect to hear the Disco Nihilist record as…
Some More Records…..
Got a couple more records since the last post…. First up is the “Music For A Saturday Evening” album by BSTC on All Natural Inc., usually a hip-hop label but this time delivering awesome live soulful house. I have to give the credit to this selection to Kai Alcé who dropped “Love It” on his…
From the library
I’ve been listening to a couple of library LPs over the past few days, prompting me to make a (rare) post about them and also some other music I’ve been playing recently. The idea of the library LP is something that fascinates me, especially given the amazing music that found its way on to some…
‘Infinite State Radio’ on Deepfrequency.com – Tonight!
I’m starting a new 2 hour monthly show for deepfrequency.com tonight (16th June) from 9pm to 11pm UK time. I’ll be transmitting live from my flat in Brixton tonight joined by Dea playing music from around the cosmos. The show aims to be ISM related so we’ll be playing some guest mixes from ISM posters…
Life Has No Narrative
One of the reasons I started this here blog was my dissatisfaction with the existing dance music media. Possibly the most annoying music critic trend in general (and one that has really gotten on my nerves more and more from reading the critic-heavy I Love Music forum [warning, only go there if you want to…
More new records and ISM on the Wireless
A few records I’ve picked up recently that tom didn’t mention in his last post. First off there’s the new Reggie Dokes on one of the new Clone labels, Loft Supreme. Reggie’s a big fav here at ISM, of course, and this is another fantastic example why. 2 quality deep house tracks, more dancefloor friendly…
Jeff Mills: In Detroit, he’s still The Wizard
DEMF wasn’t as happening of a weekend for me as it was for my ISM compatriots. However, I did catch most of Derrick May’s closing set at the main stage, and, most importantly, I was there to witness an excellent Wizard-style performance by Jeff Mills at the Mixworks party–replete with self-made edits, multi-layered blends, and…
It’s Been A Minute…
… since I did any record reviews. I mentioned the recent Dam-Funk 7″ back in May (and I got the most recent Stone’s Throw EP by him which is just as awesome as you would expect), but I never got around to talking about the things I got in Chicago in March, nor anything else…
