Lerosa – Dual Nature: Cassette Album on Further Records
01.27.10 | Permalink | 6 Comments

Generally, we don’t devote entire posts to single releases here at ISM, but I think this one is exceptional and deserves mention all by itself (even with the crazy backlog of records I need to get to!). As you most likely know, we have been big supporters of Lerosa since the beginning of this blog. [...]

Polls from ’09 and the ’00s….
01.26.10 | Permalink | 8 Comments

The end of ’09 also brought the end of the irritatingly unnamed decade of the ’00s. In the two previous years writing on this blog I have not had any sort of rhyme or reason to my year end wrap-up posts, and since I’m already almost a month late I’m not about to start now. [...]

Just a little heads up that I’m gonna be guesting on the Delicious Mix Sessions on Power FM tomorrow from between 6 – 8pm (1pm over yonder ocean), along with Mike Black and Eoin Callanan, who present the weekly show. For anyone interested, you can listen on the net here

My god… how long has it been! I’ve been on hiatus from really doing anything for a while. But I come back to you to spread the word of mixes and music. 1. Music for a Deep Sleep 01 I was having a lot of trouble sleeping a few nights ago, so made this selection [...]

It’s More Fun To Compute – Back From an Unplanned Downtime
01.22.10 | Permalink | Comment?

Waaaaayyyyyyyy back on December 22nd I think it was, my computer at home decided to shit the bed. Being busy over the holidays, and since then with a skiing trip and a bunch of potential job stuff, I only got the chance to get everything back up and running this afternoon. Finally, the guest mixes [...]

Juju & Jordash – ‘Not a Blue Meanie in sight’
01.20.10 | Permalink | 2 Comments

Just wanted to do a quick link across to a great new mix and interview from J&J. Have been loving the mix – a great blend of spaced out jazz, ambient electronics, dub, house and other funkiness that sees all the elements working together to make something else. Check it! http://madelikeatree.com/Pages/jujujordash.html

More Shake Business…
01.15.10 | Permalink | 13 Comments

I know it ain’t the second half of the ISM interview with Shake from 2.5 years ago (which is still on a cassette tape somewhere in my house!), but it is a brand new interview with the man over at Resident Advisor. I actually did the interview a little while back, but it’s still all [...]

RIP Teddy Pendergrass
01.14.10 | Permalink | 3 Comments

Teddy Pendergrass is one of those artists whose work I have seemingly always been aware of. From the Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes classic “If You Don’t Know My By Now” to his solo work, Teddy was one of the most iconic soul singers whose identity was wrapped up in one word: LOVE. But [...]

Happy new year to everyone, this is just a short post to give a heads up on a couple of interesting pieces that have cropped up online this week. First up RA have just published an excellent interview with Chez Damier, one which I think many will appreciate for the honesty he shows, and how [...]
