Detroit techno legend Derrick May was invited to do a show for BBC Radio’s 6 Mix last Saturday evening. The 2hr show is in 3 parts, the first part is a Hi Tek Soul Mix, then he plays some all time favourites (Marvin Gaye, D’Angelo, Boards of Canada) and then the 2nd hour is a…

Guest Mix – Barry Donovan, Lunar Disko Records
The Lunar Disko boys have gotten a bit of coverage on this here blog so regular readers are probably fairly clued as to what they do. As well as being a great monthly party in Dublin it has also branched out into a record label in the last half a year or so, with the…
It’s In The Rhythm – funk/disco/house/electro/techno mix
Here’s a mix I did last weekend (slightly hungover, which is my excuse for some sloppy mixing). It’s pretty eclectic, ranging from 70’s/80’s funk and boogie, through house and electro to techno, and the tempo goes up and down a bit, but I think it’s pretty funky throughout, at least that was the intention. 1….
Norm Talley mixes
I’ve been having a sort through some of the huge piles of CDs in my loft and came across a couple of mixes that Norm Talley did for a monthly radio show I hosted up until a couple of years ago. I think they were just about the last show I ever did and don’t…
Thomas Cox and Jwan Allen Live on WRCT Pittsburgh 6-26-09
A few weeks back I made a post about Jwan and I playing records on the local college station WRCT Pittsburgh. I thought the mix was pretty good at the time, and thankfully it was recorded so I was able to go back and check it out. It turns out that it is a damn…
Guest Mix: Scott Ferguson #7 – Unreleased FPR Tracks
Man. Just when I thought Scott couldn’t possibly touch the collection of mixes he had already done for us, he comes through with this. Celebrating the repressing of the early Ferrispark Records catalog, he went through some of his old joints and broke us off with a mix of mostly unreleased deep house bangers. These…
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…
Deep In The Mix – house and techno
Well, finally I got my arse in gear and did a new mix. I have a bunch of different piles of records strewn about my room from abandoned ideas for mixes from the last few months. But one thing I’ve wanted to try and do is a mix of exclusively new(ish) house and techno which…
Interview & Mix: Crème Organization’s TLR
Interview by Lina Goldberg, photo by Paul Langlade TLR’s mountain-man beard and baggy hoodies hint at his past life as a squatter, but they don’t give away quite how ambitious this Dutch DJ-cum-record-promoter-cum-radio-personality really is. TLR, known to his schoolteachers as Jeroen van der Star, now 38, went from organizing grimy squat parties in the…
