Some more of our associates and compadres have hit me with some fun stuff that needs to be shared here. First off, a site straight outta Istanbul called Half Stereo has beaten me to the punch in getting an interview with Jason Fine. They do a good job covering his background and philosophies, getting at…

Guest Mix: Lerosa – Dead Slow Mix
We’ve got yet another all-vinyl mix from our man in Dublin, Lerosa. He initially gave us this one and the first one we posted, and said we could have whichever one we liked. I said, “Can we get both?!?!” and it was done. Leo is another cat that we have been following since the beginning…
New Records and A Couple Other Things

The Beat Aesthetic, a night devoted to deep house and related musics that we began earlier this year, is relaunching next Friday night at a new venue. After taking the summer off, we’re arming ourselves with the silly good Impact Audio soundsystem and taking over New Amsterdam one Saturday a month to bang it out….
