A few weeks ago – around the time of my last post mentioning all the remixers that Planet E had lined up for their 20th Anniversary releases – myself and Tom got in a fairly heated discussion over this element of dance music. It ended up with us agreeing to disagree on the subject so…

new mix – rest of the best of 2010 part 1
People have been rightfully hassling me to sum up the best tunes of 2010, which admittedly is part of my job as a member of the ISM community. So, by way of a very late year end chart I put together a quick mix (with a second forthcoming) of my remaining favorite records of last…

Gigs, Records, Mixes, a lil Trax bizness and some Hip Hop
OK, this one is gonna be a lil bit long, but instead of making a bunch of separate posts I’m just gonna throw a load of different stuff in together. January isn’t generally seen as that busy a month in music so apologies for the lack of posts. Looking at a bunch of my recent…
A look back at 2010
As with last year I’m gonna refrain from just doing straight up top 10 lists but will instead just highlight a few different bits and bobs that did it for me this year. The year started off a little sluggish for me, both in terms of gigs and releases, I felt like it took a…

Ethiopian Jazz & Grooves Mix
More African goodies for you all, this time we travel to East Africa, Ethiopia to be precise. Legendary Ethiopian musician and composer/arranger Mulatu Astatke studied music in England and the USA in the 60s and started fusing jazz, funk and latin music with traditional Ethiopian music. He then took what he learned back to his…
Some more new musaks…
My last small run down of new records from the beginning of October contained a few things that Tom had mentioned in a post of his from around then and seeing as Jitter has just made a records post which includes some jams I’ve been loving recently I don’t see the point in some of…
Records rambling….
Mayday! Mayday! Ok, so it’s not new material but it’s as close as it gets from The Innovator… 4 tracks, previously only available on one of those 12 tracks-a-side LP’s that, while useful historically, are about as much use in a club environment as a Vestax turntable. It’s all here, the soaring strings, the alien…
