  VIA Festival Pittsburgh Coming Up Next Week!

  09.30.11 | Permalink | 5 Comments

  The VIA festival was a really good time last year in its initial incarnation. Pittsburgh was clearly ready for something big, and people responded to many different types of music and visual art combined over the course of the festival. The monthly events the VIA folks have done since then (including Omar-S and many more) [...]

  New Records, Future Times & Victor Rosado Interview

  08.21.11 | Permalink | 2 Comments

  Just a quick round up of some new releases I’ve been feeling in the past couple of months and a nice interview with Victor Rosado… Theo Parrish’s remix of About Group’s You’re No Good is his trademark deeply layered grimey house cut, with heavy bass, jazz keys, and vocal samples shimmering in and out. It’s [...]

  New label bizness – Apartment Records

  08.11.11 | Permalink | 10 Comments

  While it’s been a slack summer for updates it is because we have actually been a bit busy with some other bizness, in my case it’s been getting the latest ISM label off the ground. After much fretting, headaches and general stress, today, fully functioning tests of the debut release on my Apartment Records imprint [...]

  Sun Ra Promo Mix

  05.16.11 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  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 [...]

  March-April 2011 Annotated Top 20

  05.02.11 | Permalink | 19 Comments

  There’s been so much great music coming out lately and I haven’t written about records in a long time so I decided to do a Top 20 chart for March and April with some commentary on each one. Listed in alphabetical order because I couldn’t really rank them and besides, I don’t want anybody to [...]

  Givin’ You the Business

  04.25.11 | Permalink | 3 Comments

  A decade ago in Pittsburgh, Pipecock and I got really tired of the rave scene, which was, you know, like, a really big deal at the time, right? Tom had heard about this fellow named MJ Cole, and played me “Sincere” one night at our crib. I have to admit, I wasn’t immediately enamored, but [...]

  Craig List

  Wow, the last post I delivered certainly received a lot of feedback. Much appreciated to all those who replied and gave their two-cents worth. If I had the wherewitall and the time, I’d love to promote a Sunday afternoon gig that would be family-friendly – preferably outdoors in good weather, with a BBQ and a [...]

  Dying breed

  Carl Craig hit my home town of Dublin recently, the night before Paddy’s Day, as part of the tour celebrating 20 years of Planet E. A pal of mine was considering going – but, he asked, would he look out of place in the crowd at the venue, as he is a man in his mid-thirties?
