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 [...]
Ron Murphy, the mastering engineer at NSC and a true legend in Detroit techno and house passed away today. A message posted by Mike Grant to the 313@hyperreal.org e-mail list this evening said this:
It is with a heavy heart and great regret that I announce the passing of Ron Murphy.
I was called with the news [...]
Word on the street is that Syntax Music, a longtime dance distributor in the US, is going under. This is of course in addition to the closing of Watts and Nemesis over the past few years. Anyone who spent lots of time in dance record shops in the 90’s and 00’s should know these [...]
I often like to have a mix session on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It’s usually just playing a bunch of tunes I like and messing about with a few things rather than a properly programmed set, but this time I thought I’d put a bit more effort in and record the results. It’s a mix [...]
For me, 2007 ends about three blocks from where it began. Fortunately, those three blocks were the three blocks to the ocean.

TERRENCE, DIXON Directions (Underl_ne) 12″
Another sublime offering from Mr. Dixon to follow-up the recently released [...]
Today my wife and I attended the wedding of a friend of hers who lives in Akron, Ohio. I’ve had the displeasure of deejaying there in the past and let’s just say that it is not exactly a bastion of great dance music (although this was really my first time there in the daylight and [...]
Lots of nice stuff for everybody this Friday: some words on Chymera’s upcoming releases, info about Convextion appearing on the radio this evening, and a nice disco/house/electro/techno mix by gmos….
Something rather unique is happening right now: there are enough awesome new releases coming out that I can’t even keep up with them all! I honestly can’t remember the last time this happened to me. This comes at a very annoying time as I have been having really good luck at the local used shops [...]
The guys over at Dust Science are starting a new vinyl-only label DS:93 with the premise of releasing 9 records each by a different artist and only pressing 93 copies of each one (with no digital downloads or CD compilations of the tracks…. EVER!). Add to that their own in-house design team’s custom label and [...]
