We generally tend to busy ourselves with music that appears on vinyl but that doesn’t make us totally averse to downloading music, if only when it’s given away for free by the artist who made it. I came across this cracking little release today made by John Lillis, aka mynameisJOhn, a Limerick, Ireland based dj…

From Jack to Juke
Came across this hour long documentary on all things ghetto house last night. Cheers to Simon Conway for the heads up on it. It’s been going from private to public on vimeo over the last couple of days so apologies if it’s disappeared again when you’ve hit the link… From Jack to Juke: 25 Years…
sort of, but not exactly, part 1 of my “best of 2011” mixes
One day back in November I hit record on my laptop with the sole intention of encoding (for train iPod listening) some tunes that I had picked up late last year. Tom had been nice enough to pass along an extra “promo” copy of the 2010 Donato Dozzy double pack on Further and I wanted…
Label Profile: Emotional Rescue/Response
Its great to be able to give a shout out to a new South London label from some people I have a lot of respect for. A little like busses, two are coming along at the same time. Emotional Rescue and Emotional Response. I’m starting to get very excited about some of the releases coming…
Some new wax from Rotating Souls, PTA, Chris Gray, Tabernacle Records
Considering January is seen as a quiet month for music I’ve still managed to pick up a nice bit of wax over the last few weeks. Some are fresh on the racks, some are yet to hit ’em and there’s one or two things from last year I’m just catching up on properly, so gonna…
Tr One – A statement of Defiance
Just a quick post to point you in the way of a small interview myself and Dean Feeney from Tr One did with Irish website Thumped.com. The usual topics for us luddites; vinyl n’ hardware plus how we feel about the Irish electronic music scene…. Read it here The Drum Dance 12″ has now hit…
Tr One – Drum Dance…In stores now…
Just a quick heads up to say that Drum Dance is hitting stores over the next couple of weeks. Juno, rubadub, decks.de amongst others are selling it already in Europe while Rush Hour and Clone amongst others are taking orders now. Crosstalk International are distributing it on the other side of the Atlantic, so hopefully…
Apartment [one] TR One – Drum Dance (feat. John Heckle and Juju & Jordash Rmxs)
Can’t really think of a better way to start the new year with the announcement that the 2nd 12″ on Apartment will be dropping at the end of the month. Regular readers should be familiar with Tr One at this stage, who’ve contributed a bunch of guest mixes for us in the past as well…
2011 Round Up
As with the last couple of years, my end of year post isn’t gonna go down the big lists route, just gonna dip in and out of my year in music. You will see some similarities between myself and Tom’s selections, hardly surprising really. There’s no doubt a few things on his that I haven’t…
Guest Mix: Shane O Meara – Growing Pizza In My Secret Garden
Guest mix time here again, and this time we got a repeat offender; Dublin degenerate, Shane O Meara. Known for his insatiable love of Liverpool FC and liquor, Shane is also one of my favourite deejays in the city and this time around he’s cut us off a rapid fire mix of house, synth pop,…
