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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
