One of the things that has really been getting me exited recently isn’t the dope records I’ve been buying (they are awesome though, look for a record review post from me later this week!). It’s not any specific deejay sets I’ve heard. What has been getting me pumped is the quality people doing this music. [...]
Hey, just a heads up for the Irish readers out there, Fatty Fatty and Downtownsounds presents DJ Rahaan from Chicago on Friday June 11th at a newish venue in Dublin, Space 54. Myself, Nic Keane and the Don will be providing the support warming things up for one of the world’s best disco/house djs. Doors [...]
Anthony Parasole, apparently a fan of this blog, recently added me at random on Facebook. He seemed like an earnest and experienced cat so I friended him back. We chatted a bit and he invited me down to his residency at The Club House party at Greenwich Village’s Love. It had been way too long [...]
I assume some people might remember the initial post I made almost exactly a year ago regarding the trailer for the film “Speaking In Code”. I will now pause to allow you to go back and rewatch the trailer, read the post and the comments, and then we can get to the heart of the [...]
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 [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
