This latest mix is being hosted by the Lunar Disko cronies, who’s new website you can find here. Mostly on a synth pop / Italo tip, with the odd new appropriation thrown in, and even a bit of shoegazing. Fatima Yamaha – What’s a Girl To Do Casionova – Glades Cyber People – Void Vision [...]
Here’s a short Sun Ra mix I did as a promo for this weekend’s Sun Ra Birthday Celebrations with Mike Huckaby (see previous post). It focuses on the late 70s and early 80s period which was probably his grooviest period, should serve as a nice primer for those unfamiliar with his work. 1 Sleeping Beauty [...]
The MN Collective have a very exciting weekend lined up for us with Detroit’s Mike Huckaby running tings on both Friday and Saturday night this weekend. Friday night will be a celebration of the music of Sun Ra in the Grand Social, one of the most forward thinking musicians of the 20th Century, he was [...]
No, I’m not advertising that peeps come around to my gaff and eat toasted cheese sandwhiches (my culinary skills don’t stretch much further), but myself and Gmos will be manning the controls at The Kitchen Nightclub in Temple Bar this Saturday, the 23rd.

Bernardo over at the Delicious Records blog invited me to spin at his monthly party at Bistrouge in Alphabet City. I’m pretty excited about that. Hope to see all you New York readers there! Please say hello if you stop by. Also, I did a mix of mostly current and recent deep house tunes right [...]
As some of you may remember, about a year ago we hosted a mix of all original tunes by some friends of mine who are making drum and bass music as Sight Unseen. They use some techno sounds in a very different framework (combined with dub and of course breaks and deep bass), but to [...]
