  07.26.09 | Permalink | 15 Comments

  Detroit techno legend Derrick May was invited to do a show for BBC Radio’s 6 Mix last Saturday evening. The 2hr show is in 3 parts, the first part is a Hi Tek Soul Mix, then he plays some all time favourites (Marvin Gaye, D’Angelo, Boards of Canada) and then the 2nd hour is a [...]

  Body Heat: Interview with Fred Ventura

  07.21.09 | Permalink | 8 Comments

  (Pointing out the obvious: I just wanted to post this picture) Anyone who has been in a club with me knows that I occasionally slip into the unpleasant habit of bellowing at whoever is lucky enough to be on stage. So it should come as no surprise that the recent Magic Waves Festival saw me [...]

  Guest Mix – Barry Donovan, Lunar Disko Records

  07.20.09 | Permalink | 20 Comments

  The Lunar Disko boys have gotten a bit of coverage on this here blog so regular readers are probably fairly clued as to what they do. As well as being a great monthly party in Dublin it has also branched out into a record label in the last half a year or so, with the [...]

  It’s In The Rhythm – funk/disco/house/electro/techno mix

  07.16.09 | Permalink | 13 Comments

  Here’s a mix I did last weekend (slightly hungover, which is my excuse for some sloppy mixing). It’s pretty eclectic, ranging from 70′s/80′s funk and boogie, through house and electro to techno, and the tempo goes up and down a bit, but I think it’s pretty funky throughout, at least that was the intention. 1.

  Waving Not Drowning

  07.15.09 | Permalink | 8 Comments

  Once again, it was festival time last weekend, this time no running around chalets on the west coast of England or hanging out in downtown Detroit. London would be the latest location for some weekend long musical shenanigans, with the Magicwaves party taking place. Calling it a festival is probably stretching it a bit, as [...]

  Norm Talley mixes

  07.14.09 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  I’ve been having a sort through some of the huge piles of CDs in my loft and came across a couple of mixes that Norm Talley did for a monthly radio show I hosted up until a couple of years ago. I think they were just about the last show I ever did and don’t [...]

  Thomas Cox and Jwan Allen Live on WRCT Pittsburgh 6-26-09

  07.12.09 | Permalink | 21 Comments

  A few weeks back I made a post about Jwan and I playing records on the local college station WRCT Pittsburgh. I thought the mix was pretty good at the time, and thankfully it was recorded so I was able to go back and check it out. It turns out that it is a damn [...]

  A Ton of Good Music

  07.12.09 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  The past week and a half or so has really been an outstanding week for new music for me. From brand new joints, to reissues, to finds in the used shops, shit’s been firing on all cylinders. Let’s get down to brass tacks. The “Vertical Ascent” LP by Moritz Von Oswald Trio is everything I [...]

  Guest Mix: Scott Ferguson #7 – Unreleased FPR Tracks

  07.07.09 | Permalink | 12 Comments

  Man. Just when I thought Scott couldn’t possibly touch the collection of mixes he had already done for us, he comes through with this. Celebrating the repressing of the early Ferrispark Records catalog, he went through some of his old joints and broke us off with a mix of mostly unreleased deep house bangers. These [...]
