  Quick Friday Update

  06.06.08 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  I’ve been lazy about doing basically anything for the past week, lazy enough that I almost feel bad about it. The doctor checked out my knee the other day, he said I likely have a slightly torn meniscus that shouldn’t need operated on unless it gives me great pain and irritation, which it hasn’t for […]

  We’re about to roll out of the Burgh on our way to Detroit in just a few minutes. Despite no love on the press pass tip, we will be providing our coverage of DEMF 08 to you starting tonight and continuing through late Monday night. I will try to provide a substantial post every day, […]

  BOO!!

  First up, a quick hello. It’s a pleasure to be contributing to ISM, I’ve been reading here since it’s inception, have had tons of good record tips, and enjoyed the no-nonsense style of the blog. Plus, the artists and range of styles covered are right up my street. I’m a vinyl junkie too, so should […]

  Spring State

  04.25.08 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  Finally the spring semester is over! Only one more year of this school nonsense, then I too can join the great American workforce. Or something. Now, it’s time for some spring cleaning!
  First things first, we have a couple changes here at ISM that should make things slightly better for everyone. The most immediately useful change […]

  Guest Mix: Scott from Trackwerk Blog

  04.14.08 | Permalink | 10 Comments

  Continuing our ridiculous run of guest mixes is a new joint by our man Scott over at Trackwerk. They have been on a ridiculous roll themselves recently, dropping dope mixes from DJHistory.com forum cats like Richard Carnage, Jaz, Jitterbug, Solid State, and more. It’s a who’s who of online record nerds laying down ridiculous shit […]

  DFA - WTF?!?!?!

  03.27.08 | Permalink | 19 Comments

  I can remember the first time I heard a record on DFA. It was Morgan Geist’s remix of The Rapture’s “House Of Jealous Lovers”. My man Jwan played it for me at his house all the way back in 2002 when it dropped, and I was feeling it because Morgan is generally the man. So […]

  Extending the Play (of the techno record)

  03.05.08 | Permalink | 17 Comments

  Are the golden days of the full-length album and the 4+ track E.P. of house, dance, whatever we care to call our beloved funky dance music well and truly over? Or is there still hope?
  Based on my recent vinyl purchases from overseas, I will say that all is not lost yet. Terrence […]

  What’s going on?

  03.02.08 | Permalink | 16 Comments

  I’m feeling quite far removed from what is going on in House and Techno at the moment. All of my recent, admittedly limited, buying has been on the leftfield of Disco and there hasn’t been a huge amount of House or Techno that has really excited me for a good while.
  One of the big things […]

  platinum gold

  02.21.08 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  Pauly Martin (anagram), Platinumray is one of Dublin’s most underrated
  DJs. His party style DJing is one of playfulness, mixing different
  flavours of dance and electronic sounds. Although never afraid to get
  abstract and wonky (and he is definitely wonky - but in a good way, wonkiness is closer to goodliness) with his selections, it his intuitive ability […]
