  Isaac Hayes passed away on Sunday the 10th of August 2008 at his home in Memphis, Tennessee, aged 65. The man is a legend of soul and funk music. He started off as a session musician playing organ and keyboards in the Stax house band on Otis Redding cuts such as the Otis Blue album […]

  Guest Mix: Drrtyhaze - Chicago1

  08.11.08 | Permalink | 7 Comments

  This one is not a new mix, but one that I have been enjoying so much for two years that I felt it needed to be out there again. Even though they hail from New York City and not Chicago, Drrtyhaze nail the 80’s classic jacking vibe perfectly. From the more obvious classics to some […]

  Sleeping Alone - Mix

  08.06.08 | Permalink | 9 Comments

  Haven’t posted in a while, so thought may as well use this post to throw up my first mix for the site. Not gonna say much about it, its culled from old and new italo, a few edits and some other random bits n’ bobs from the early 80’s. Runs at just over an hour. […]

  First off, apologies for being so quiet recently, but a recent move has kept me away from the decks and GTA4 has kept me from doing anything remotely constructive for the last month or so

  Anyway, this is a belated audio companion to my earlier post on the recent series of excellent compilations on […]

  20 Years Later

  07.16.08 | Permalink | 19 Comments

  In an interesting parallel to Theo’s comments, my wife sent me this link just now. I for one cannot believe it has been 20 years. The really depressing part is to think of how far black musical artists came in the 20 years preceding that album which surely has to be a pinnacle of political […]

  Some Jams I Am Feeling Right Now

  07.15.08 | Permalink | 6 Comments

  Having not one but two dancey gigs in the same weekend was pretty nice, especially since the past bunch of sets I have played were more like bars where I was playing lots of other types of records. I got to trot out a bunch of different things that I had either never played before, […]

  Interesting “Interview” with Theo Parrish

  07.14.08 | Permalink | 46 Comments

  Moodmat dropped what they are calling a “one question interview” with Theo Parrish, and of course he has some interesting things to say about the question of race and gender in dance music. It annoys me to no end that they are not allowing comments on such a piece of writing As per Theo’s request, […]

  Last Saturday night saw one of the most eagerly anticipated nights of the year in Dublin finally arrive, when the legendary Dopplereffekt rolled into town for their debut (and most likely only) Dublin show. I’d first heard wind of this gig as far back as March, when at Bloc Weekend whispers abounded of the attempt […]

  On and On and On and On…..

  I have had a couple good days at the local digging spot in the last week or so.
  First up was the day I found the record pictured above, Mach’s “On And On”, one of the records that was somehow involved in the birth of house music. Check the discogs link for a short version of […]
