2021

Groundhog Day turned into Groundhog year. Music I presumed I’d owned since 2020, I only purchased in May? And so forth. Could things get weirder? Well yes, actually. Apartment had its busiest year since 2014. An EP, an album and merch? Sure have a look over on the Bandcamp. Huge thanks to everyone who has…

TENEMENTS Album / 10 Years of Apartment

In February 2019 my label Apartment was all but dead. I won’t expand on the reasons for this but some music was returned  to people and I felt like I’d finally stopped jumping back and forth doing a will I / won’t I on what sometimes felt like an especially long-winded experiment in money gouging….

Recent Musaks

The last few months have seen me slow down on the new records front, more for lack of trying than lack of good music (I think). Tom’s last couple of posts also covered some of my recent favs so I’ll not bother repeating ourselves and instead look at some other bizness. Various – Madre Lingua…

Get Your Booty On… + Latest DDR show

Get your booty on the floor tonight? Not likely you’re gonna be making anyone’s day any time soon, unfortunately. But that don’t stop the booty and below is a few of my favourite ghetto / booty flavoured releases of the last x amount of months (time is immaterial at this stage, after all).  Also a…

New Mix: RLSD Dark Stream

I’m also currently trying to pick up the pace on mixes too (from zero to…something) and last week I provided the latest episode of Dublin’s RLSD Records Dark Stream series that they’ve been putting out throughout lockdown, featuring local heroes such as Barry Greaves, Tr One, & Rustal. It’s a video mix that is currently…

Mix: D1 Recordings: Box Set

It has been a few years since I last mentioned D1 Recordings on here, around the time Fatima Yamaha’s Whats a Girl To Do was getting the re-issue treatment. I wondered if there would be any more music released from the publicity-shy imprint and though it took a while there is now a new release…
