Vince Watson, the veteran Scottish producer, is not a name that you will see regularly hyped, but he has been making his music, his way, for well over a decade and is set to unleash a whole host of releases with his recently relaunched Bio label (unfortunately, digitally only at present) and with another new…

News Round Up – Shake, Kraftwerk, Armando, Rahaan, Gosub
Just rounding up some interesting bits that haven’t been mentioned here so far and should be of interest to you all. First up, Rush Hour have finally announced their retrospective of Detroit techno legend Anthony “Shake” Shakir on vinyl and CD. This is a long overdue reinvestigation of one of the most underrated of all…
Luscious black wax…..
Picked up a lot of nice stuff of late, so it seems like a good time for a round-up. These are all available to buy on vinyl, from your local record emporium….. A reissue that’s well worthy of first mention, and originally only available on this holy grail 12″, is Terrence Parker’s sublime “Your Love”;…
Yo Derrick, What the fuck?
And so it has come to be. Some of us never thought it would happen but low and behold Derrick May has finally brought Transmat back into the fold. Actually, it has been an interesting time in techno of late regards a couple of other older labels. Robert Hood has relaunched his seminal M-Plant label,…
Some more records…
Tom’s post has made me get my arse in gear to post about a few of my own summer record purchases. I most likely could have done this ages ago as I’m focusing on 2nd hand buys, many of which were got on my trip to Chicago and Detroit all the way back in May…
DEAF ’09 Preview and some other tings
The line up for this year’s Dublin Electronic Arts Festival is nearing completion with the usual mix and match of music, art and happenings. It had slackened off a little bit in recent times until last year when it really felt like there was a buzz around the city with countless amounts of excellent gigs…
Gotta Give It Up
Taking it back to the old-school ISM style by Google image searching for the post title to find an inappropriate picture to slap on here….. So yeah, we’ve been a bit slower on our posting during the summer, but other blogs have not been letting up. I figure it’s a good time to let you…
Yes, it’s a post about Richie Hawtin (sort of)
Today on the Plastikman website an interesting posting was made. It seems that Mr Hawtin is about to return back to his Plastikman guise for a series of shows and some re-releases of old material. Personally speaking i think Hawtin’s Plastikman work is his finest and was one of the entry points for me into…
Waving Not Drowning
Once again, it was festival time last weekend, this time no running around chalets on the west coast of England or hanging out in downtown Detroit. London would be the latest location for some weekend long musical shenanigans, with the Magicwaves party taking place. Calling it a festival is probably stretching it a bit, as…
Some summertime fun
Here in Dublin we are currently experiencing what one could call a proper summer, as in the sun is out and it’s actually warm, unlike the last few years. Even us nerdy types here at ISM aren’t immune to the ability of the sun to perk us up and I for one have been waiting…
