OK, this one is gonna be a lil bit long, but instead of making a bunch of separate posts I’m just gonna throw a load of different stuff in together. January isn’t generally seen as that busy a month in music so apologies for the lack of posts. Looking at a bunch of my recent…

Guest Mix: Kirk Degiorgio Goes Disco
I first encountered Kirk Degiorgio‘s music a long time ago, when I was first getting into techno and house. It was obvious from his wildly differing production styles that he was a serious music head! Then more recently I encountered him online on the Little Detroit forum, where we had it out a bit in…
Detroit Strong
Tom did a round-up pretty recently but here’s another glut of D related goodies from some other sites. First, you all have to check out this sick video mix from Terrence Parker, cutting and scratching house and disco with some style for a St Petersburg based radio station. I’m not always mad on DJs doing…
Disco Nihilist interviewed by Jacob Arnold
As you most likely know by now, it was my label’s debut release that unleashed this maniac who calls himself “Disco Nihilist” on the record buying world. Since that 12″ dropped, he has put out two more records on the Construction Paper label, including one that is just dropping now worldwide called “From One Place…
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…
More Shake Business…
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…
Wise words from Weinberg
Most techno producers seem to want to gravitate towards Berlin, the Mecca of all things technoid, but not native German Arne Weinberg, a man who has built up an impressive musical CV for himself in the last decade. He has set up shop in Scotland, Glasgow to be precise, for the last couple of years,…
Elementary, Vince Watson
Vince Watson, the veteran Scottish producer, is not a name that you will see regularly hyped, but he has been making his music, his way, for well over a decade and is set to unleash a whole host of releases with his recently relaunched Bio label (unfortunately, digitally only at present) and with another new…
Body Heat: Interview with Fred Ventura
(Pointing out the obvious: I just wanted to post this picture) Anyone who has been in a club with me knows that I occasionally slip into the unpleasant habit of bellowing at whoever is lucky enough to be on stage. So it should come as no surprise that the recent Magic Waves Festival saw me…
Deep Frequencies
Simon and Guillaume have been working with the Lucky Cloud soundsystem for some time, putting on some great parties including hosting David Mancuso’s London Loft sessions. More recently the guys have also been running Deepfrequency.com – an internet radio station par excellence. ISM caught up with them to talk about some of the history and…
