  NIGERIA SPECIALS

  05.11.08 | Permalink | 4 Comments

  I’ve really been digging the Soundway label from Brighton, England, ever since I picked up the amazing Ghana Soundz compilation back in 2002. Since then they’ve been consistently unearthing and compiling obscure gems from West Africa and beyond, always with a strong emphasis on the funk. Rare doesn’t always mean good, but with these […]

  Rick Wade

  When I first started really getting into deep house, there were a few names that were as good as gold for me: Theo Parrish, Moodymann, Morgan Geist, and Rick Wade. While the rest of those guys have all achieved a pretty large amount of fame, Rick Wade has remained something of a secret amongst deep […]

  Buying Records in the 313

  04.07.08 | Permalink | 12 Comments

  I love going to Detroit, there’s so many good people and places it’s impossible to get to see them all. I did manage to sneak in a quick record buying binge on Saturday afternoon, though, and these are some of the people and places I saw on my hunt……..

  The first thing I do as soon […]

  Crazy Times, Mikebee Mix, New Recloose 12″, etc.

  The semester is winding down quickly, which means lots of insanity on my part and explains our relative quiet of late. Last weekend we celebrated my man Tony’s last free time before joining the navy. Friday night, myself, Chris Schubert, Tony, and Brother Mike rocked out the Alto Lounge, bringing back memories of the […]

  DFA - WTF?!?!?!

  03.27.08 | Permalink | 19 Comments

  I can remember the first time I heard a record on DFA. It was Morgan Geist’s remix of The Rapture’s “House Of Jealous Lovers”. My man Jwan played it for me at his house all the way back in 2002 when it dropped, and I was feeling it because Morgan is generally the man. So […]

  Waajeed

  When I first heard Waajeed’s music years ago, I liked what he was doing but at the same time I felt like he was something of a J Dilla knock-off. They were boys, so that didn’t necessarily bother me. Then my man Selecta dropped his remix of Troubleman’s “Without You” (which featured on my recent […]

  Extending the Play (of the techno record)

  03.05.08 | Permalink | 17 Comments

  Are the golden days of the full-length album and the 4+ track E.P. of house, dance, whatever we care to call our beloved funky dance music well and truly over? Or is there still hope?
  Based on my recent vinyl purchases from overseas, I will say that all is not lost yet. Terrence […]

  The Return of Pépé Bradock, The New Black Dog Album, and More…..

  03.05.08 | Permalink | 15 Comments

  It’s been a while since I picked up a solo Pépé Bradock record. Almost 4 years, to be exact (and I know that “Distorted Echoes” is not really considered one of his “classics”, though I think it is way underrated), broken up only by the excellent collaborative 10″ “Unicorn/Cheval” (which I used on my “Cold […]

  Mo’ Records and Other Shit, Too

  02.01.08 | Permalink | 9 Comments

  It’s been a while since I talked about new records on here, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been getting plenty of them! In actuality, I’ve been getting a bunch of nice things and just haven’t been writing about them due to my temporary craziness (which has been eradicated by my decision not to write […]

  It is with a heavy heart and great regret that I announce the passing of Ron Murphy.
