Clone Label Finishes
Today my weekly Clone mailout had a surprising text in it, wherein Serge and the crew announced the end of the Clone label, which had been running for over 15yrs.
New buys, old product
Last Thursday/Friday saw my first major haul of records of the new year when I took a trip down south to Cork and the unsurpassable Plugd Records. I’d shamefully not paid a visit in the best part of a year so was looking forward to see what goodies were in store for me…
My review of 2008 – part 2 – new music
Larry Heard – 25 Years From Alpha (Alleviated/Black Market) A new release from Larry Heard will always grab my attention, he’s one of the most important and consistent electronic music producers there is. I’m guessing that this is a tribute to himself as 25 years seems to be about the length of his music career…
Wax Poetics Anthologies
Here in the UK, stockists of Wax Poetics are fairly scarce, and it’s only recently I’ve managed to pick up a few issues. Beautifully presented and packaged, the writing seems, for the most part, to be full of integrity, passion and enthusiam. I got wind of these anthologies and was lucky enough to receive the…
412 in the House
A couple items of note for those who live close by or for those who like to live vicariously….. We’ve got a new monthly house music night starting up in the 412, a collaborative effort amongst most of the deejays playing the deep shit. The very first one will feature a soundsystem upgrade from the…

Items of Interest
Just got back last night from a little trip to Rehoboth Beach with some of our B-more crew which was as enjoyable as ever. This time we brought a little portable record player with us and rocked some jazz, soul, dub, and rock LPs while we chilled out and played video games. I read a…
My year end poll with f**k all jazz
First off, I don’t really mind making end of year lists as it gives me something to mull over on a quiet night-shift in work and every year there are always records that stand out for me, so it’s not the most painful thing to do. I stopped buying records a couple of weeks ago…
Year End Polls and All That Jazz
It’s about that time of year where every website, magazine, and blog out there starts churning out year end lists. Despite the presence of some more interesting “Top 5 of 2008” lists over at Little White Earbuds and other places, I find that my mind just doesn’t work like that. I did submit some choices…
