Timeline – Greystone Ballroom / Mark Flash – King of Light While one can’t say that they ever really went away, there is a sense in certain quarters (those that sat up and took notice) that these latest 12″‘s have been somewhat of a return for the aging kingpins of Detroit techno. This is the [...]

Nigeria’s Gonna Break It (More Nigerian Boogie Business)
02.17.12 | Permalink | 2 Comments

The good folks over at mntothat invited me to do a guest mix for their excellent Amen Brother series a while back. I’d been thinking of doing a follow up to my Nigerian Boogie Funk mix from last year anyway, so it seemed a good fit for them. This mix features all Nigerian tracks from [...]

Free stuff: MynameisjOhn – The Thinker and The Prover EP
02.09.12 | Permalink | Comment?

We generally tend to busy ourselves with music that appears on vinyl but that doesn’t make us totally averse to downloading music, if only when it’s given away for free by the artist who made it. I came across this cracking little release today made by John Lillis, aka mynameisJOhn, a Limerick, Ireland based dj [...]

Came across this hour long documentary on all things ghetto house last night. Cheers to Simon Conway for the heads up on it. It’s been going from private to public on vimeo over the last couple of days so apologies if it’s disappeared again when you’ve hit the link… From Jack to Juke: 25 [...]

Its great to be able to give a shout out to a new South London label from some people I have a lot of respect for. A little like busses, two are coming along at the same time. Emotional Rescue and Emotional Response. I’m starting to get very excited about some of the releases coming [...]

Considering January is seen as a quiet month for music I’ve still managed to pick up a nice bit of wax over the last few weeks. Some are fresh on the racks, some are yet to hit ‘em and there’s one or two things from last year I’m just catching up on properly, so gonna [...]
