Here at ISM, we like to stay ahead of the curve. This means sniffing out those cats that you might not have heard of yet but are on the cusp of doing bigger and better things! We’ve been supporters of Tr-One and BrokenAudioMovement since our inception, in fact Dean Feeney did our very first guest mix way back in September 2007! They’ve been holding it down for a minute, but I think things are about to start looking up for them beginning with this new release on POGO Recordings.
“Shit Ain’t Worth It” kicks things off on a chill tip, building slowly into a beautiful and deep epic cut. A simple piano line and thick pads are all that is needed to make what is by far their best track to date. “Bombay” utilizes a similarly melancholic atmosphere, but with a bit more energy, to create a melodic techno cut that runs deeper than most. Finally, they take it just a bit funkier on “Sometime Again” with the most straightforward bassline and drums on the record, but still keep it soulful and deep. Overall, a record for those special times that require dance music with a bit more emotion! Check the YouTube videos for the other cuts here.
And to top it off, they have just finished building a new home for their studio…
Now they’ve just gotta follow this 12″ up!
The mix is a live deejay set as Tr-One at the Bernard Shaw back on May 2, 2010. As usual, they play so many of my jams that it is insane! Quando Quango, Andrés, Omar-S, and way, way more are all represented. No tracklist for it as of yet, but if they give me one I will update this post with it…
Grab the mix here.

Usually when people ask me I say it’s a bootleg from a Gospel session at a church in East Detroit circa 1960 which I played from reel to reel beneath the turntables!
