  To remix or not to remix

  A few weeks ago – around the time of my last post mentioning all the remixers that Planet E had lined up for their 20th Anniversary releases – myself and Tom got in a fairly heated discussion over this element of dance music. It ended up with us agreeing to disagree on the subject so [...]

  new mix – rest of the best of 2010 part 1

  02.23.11 | Permalink | Comment?

  People have been rightfully hassling me to sum up the best tunes of 2010, which admittedly is part of my job as a member of the ISM community. So, by way of a very late year end chart I put together a quick mix (with a second forthcoming) of my remaining favorite records of last [...]

  My homeboys Adam Ratana and Preslav Lefterov (you may remember my mentioning them here) and I have been working together on a musical project for the past few months that we call Pittsburgh Track Authority. The first joints from this project will be seeing the light of day very soon through Uzuri Recordings, who have [...]

    EDIT: As has been mentioned in the comments, I referenced the wrong publication – it was Jockey Slut, not Muzik, which used the blindfold gimmick. It’s all just a haze . . . . Back in the late 1990s, there existed a British dance music magazine called Muzik, which was supposed to be more ‘high [...]

  Some Bread and Cheese and Fine White Wine

  It’s kind of trite to say it, but A Number of Names’ “Sharevari” is one of the first techno tracks to come from Detroit. It is also one of the hottest, and that is really saying something considering the tunes that have come since then from the motor city. A number of artists have attempted [...]

  Happy New Year intrepid ISM readers! I thought I’d start the new year off with something I hope to make a lot more time for this year, and that’s bugging all you techno geniuses for track IDs. I’ve been trying to identify these two particular jams for quite some time. The first is a cut [...]

  Ethiopian Jazz & Grooves Mix

  More African goodies for you all, this time we travel to East Africa, Ethiopia to be precise. Legendary Ethiopian musician and composer/arranger Mulatu Astatke studied music in England and the USA in the 60s and started fusing jazz, funk and latin music with traditional Ethiopian music. He then took what he learned back to his [...]

  Some Random Things Plus Some Pittsburgh Gigs

  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 [...]
