My posts on new music have been a bit slack since we restarted, so there may be some posts over the next while that will see some back tracking on releases from earlier in the year, and I can’t let this album from Danish producer Paxton Fettel (coming out through the ace Greta Cottage Workshop…

Dimension Series is a now annual mix series that is put together by Oscar González of the Static Discos crew in Mexico for which myself and Lerosa were asked to contribute a mix. Though we’ve dj’d many times together this was our first time doing so outside of a club, or recording it. We kept it to about…

Gavin Guthrie, better known as TX Connect appeared on my radar with a split 12″ on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams back in ’13 and since then he has gone on to release more of his roughhewn house music via the Scottish imprint alongside an album on Creme Organization amongst other releases. While his releases so…

As much by coincidence as anything one half of our latest guest mix comes from the Dj behind the very first and last (in our old incarnation) mixes we hosted on the site, Dean Feeney. This time around he goes B2B with another former guest, Shane O’Meara who has played regularly in and around Dublin for…

My latest mix was broadcast on John Heckle’s Universal Frequency show on KMAH a couple of days ago and is up now for streaming / download on Soundcloud. John is up for the first hour with set of lush deep techno and electro and I take over for the second with music from the likes…

I can’t say I was hugely surprised with the news that Bodytonic’s Twisted Pepper will be closing its doors this week. Even though it is Dublin’s most well known and highly regarded dance club of the last ten years it also felt like its time, in its current incarnation, was up. Clubbing – and Dublin…

60 Miles is the new project from John Daly and Frawl (who is one half of the Never Learnt label and whose own debut 12″ recently dropped), the first 12″ of which is going to drop in the next couple of weeks.  I wasn’t expecting it to be leaning so much towards the techno side…

Unless you have been living on Pluto for the last few years you can’t have missed the continued rise of a “lost” classic by Fatima Yamaha called “What’s A Girl To Do”, to the point where even perennial dullards such as John Digweed and Dixon are now playing it in their sets and Matrixxman is…

Now that we’ve made our acquaintances again its time to get stuck in. Timothy Blake is a Berlin based (where else you may ask) Dubliner who hasn’t let his location get in the way of making some wonderfully loose-limbed funk of the electronic kind. He’s been on the radar of some of us in Ireland…

Wow, we made it to the end!? This is our final guest mix. This is my last post. Dunno if that means the very last post altogether or not. Hopefully the stealth-like GMOS will deliver one more of his gems. Either way, Dean Feeney (of Tr One) was the first person to do a guest…

And so we come to The Never-Ending Story part 305, or something like that. Here is the latest in our Final mixes (we are nearly there, I think) series. We said that we would be getting some old friends on board to help yet this is actually the first mix Eddie has done solo for…

And so we near ever closer to the end. For any long time readers of the site you’ll knew we’ve got mad love for Juju & Jordash. In a world of copycats, hasbeens and never-will-bes these guys are the real deal. We asked them to help close out the site and they’ve obliged with a…

Final one from me. Shouts to anyone who enjoyed the last 6-7 years. Thanks to all who gave us mixes. Contrary to what Jay Daniel thinks we did it to give exposure to music and Djs we thought deserved it, not because they owed us anything. And special thanks to Tom for having me on…

Well aren’t they all? This one is no different. Here’s a slightly long, slightly scatty rundown of what went on in music for me in 2013. I’ve always enjoyed doing this and it’s probably what I’ll miss the most about ISM. So away we go…

And so we move on to the next of our Final mixes. Lerosa has been a good friend and mix contributor for us here since the early days. In fact the first time I ever met him was to do this interview around 5 years ago (!). He’s not only given us mixes but also…

My latest mix is for the ikz.hu website based out of Budapest in Hungary. Some killer new bits from Lumigraph, Lerosa, John Heckle/Mick Wills plus a couple of cuts from the new Apartment 12″ which dropped this week, featuring Phantom Planet Outlaws & Tr One. Some of my favourite cuts of the year and a…

So a few weeks ago we made a small announcement on facebook and twitter about the blog, that we would be wrapping it up over the coming months. We decided as a send off to not go for any big fanfare, just to get some friends and members of the site to contribute mixes for…

It’s kinda been an age since I’ve talked about new music on here, and now that I am it’s all a bit whorish but hey, this is how the blog rolls from time to time. What we have here is the new video created by cfmeister for a brand new cut by Tr One. This…

Not as well known as some of his Dutch counterparts who have emerged over the last 15 years from labels such as Bunker and Strange Life, Ian Martin has been existing on the fringes of that scene for a while now. With the help of Seattle based Further Records he has garnered some more attention…

Finally got to put the label’s first music video online this week. Created by irish artist Sibyl Montague, it for Decisions by Lerosa. Stuck on the B2 of the record, I felt it was a lil bit over-looked at the time. It’s one of my favourite Lerosa cuts, and was the first track I got…
