The weather is starting to warm up and the vaccine is rolling out quickly in the US, giving hope for a summer that will feel a bit more lively than last. My little outdoor party squad with Eric Justin and Jwan Allen is starting to get things ready for the season, providing an alternative to…

Early 2021 Record Round-Up
Thanks to the pandemic, shipping records from Europe to the US has taken on a large level of unpredictability in arrival time, so some of these records were actually released in December. But these are the new jams that have been doing it for me since I wrote my year end post about six weeks…
January Feathers on DDR + The last of 2020
Straight out the gap 2021 has had less than a stellar start, plague rave djs making arses out of themselves, washed up old house producers going “all vinyl” and being a tit about it, Djs lawyering up against each other (MAYBE) and thats before we even acknowledge the shit show that has been the actual…

Eric’s First New Records Post
I’d like to introduce everybody to my friend Eric Justin. He’s been DJing house, techno, disco, and more in Pittsburgh for over 25 years and has quite a record collection. His specialty is New Jersey garage but he loves all the dope shit. He and I have done parties together for over a decade in…
Forza! Sorta. Some new and new(ish) records
This week here in Ireland a winter ahead with covid has really started to kick in. Cases have doubled in the last week and restrictions are tightening, with a full lockdown looking all but imminent. In ye olde “dance music” world things have also been especially fraught with tension with the news of both Resident…
A Whole Lot (of nothing) Going On + New Music
I guess this post serves as some sort of coming out of retirement with regards to my writing here on ISM. It has been over 2.5 years since I wrote about new releases on here or anything else for that matter – bar a couple of posts on mixes / recordings. I’m not going to…
Quarantine Record Acquisitions
Stolen from interwebs It’s been a minute! Last time I posted about new music was just after everything shut down back in March. I won’t bore everybody with rehashing how poorly things have gone here in the States since then, but thankfully Pittsburgh has mostly dodged the worst of the virus thus far. I’ve been…
Can’t Fake The Feeling – Deep House Mix
Not a new mix this week but a deep house mix I found on a CD from around 10 years ago. Starts off with some deep late night chug from Larry Heard, Omar S, Theo Parrish etc, then gets a bit more jacking later on with some Chicago classics. Enjoy!
More mixes
Originally I was aiming to put out a mix a month as part of my Record Session series. Since we are all stuck at home I have changed it to a mix every week. I seem to have some more time on my hands than originally planned. I hope these mixes help to keep you…
