  KDJ speaks

  Interviews with the one and only Kenny Dixon Jr are as rare as a sober person at BLOC so I’m really looking forward to watching this when I finish work today. The little write up on the post from the Red Bull Music Academy site makes it sound highly entertaining. I hope it delivers!
  Watch it [...]

  Guest Post and Mix: Scott Ferguson

  02.16.10 | Permalink | 9 Comments

  Scott Ferguson has been a contributor on the mix front for almost two years here at ISM, and over Christmas he even debuted a digital album here for us. Today, he adds one more notch to his ISM belt: guest writer! Scott was obviously inspired by a recent night out at Fabric on January 23rd, [...]

  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 [...]

  A Couple Must-Read/Listen Joints from Around the Web

  11.23.09 | Permalink | 12 Comments

  A few interesting things have popped up on teh web in the last week or so….
  The man Kuri over at Energy Flash got the Oliverwho Factory to sit down for an interview. I have almost all the Madd Chaise records, but had never seen anything with these guys anywhere before. It’s cool to see someone [...]

  A Good Editorial About Deejaying

  11.02.09 | Permalink | 8 Comments

  I’m probably late to this party, but I just saw this post by Donnacha Costello over at the Bodytonic site. It’s good to get a producer’s viewpoint, and interesting to see him talk about switching back to vinyl. I can definitely see a wave of people doing just that in the near future, for various [...]

  More new records and ISM on the Wireless

  06.12.09 | Permalink | 1 Comment

  A few records I’ve picked up recently that tom didn’t mention in his last post. First off there’s the new Reggie Dokes on one of the new Clone labels, Loft Supreme. Reggie’s a big fav here at ISM, of course, and this is another fantastic example why. 2 quality deep house tracks, more dancefloor friendly [...]

  Jeff Mills: In Detroit, he’s still The Wizard

  06.10.09 | Permalink | 10 Comments

  DEMF wasn’t as happening of a weekend for me as it was for my ISM compatriots. However, I did catch most of Derrick May’s closing set at the main stage, and, most importantly, I was there to witness an excellent Wizard-style performance by Jeff Mills at the Mixworks party–replete with self-made edits, multi-layered blends, [...]

  A couple of things

  05.15.09 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  What with the imminent arrival of Tom’s new label it’s also good to hear that he’s not the only one out there applying a DIY aesthetic to putting out new wax. Featured recently on this here site; William Burnett aka Speculator has also recently launched a new label which he is selling directly to the [...]

  Some Observations from Domu

  05.05.09 | Permalink | 34 Comments

  Domu is one of those bad-ass deejays in the style that we love here at ISM. I can remember when he played in Pittsburgh back in early ‘04 he was dropping James Brown, classic disco, Amp Dog Knights’ “I’m Doing Fine”, broken beats, and jazz records all over the place in a fresh style. Then [...]
