The couple of times Kraftwerk have performed in Ireland in the last 5yrs or so I had the misfortune of either not having a spare penny to go see them, or being out of the country. These days I do have a few spare pennies so when The Robots announced a while back that they…

Norman Whitfield
Sad, my last 2 posts have been to give my respects to 2 giants of soul/funk music who have passed on recently. (I should also take this chance to mention another important figure who passed on recently, Jerry Wexler of Atlantic Records) Read the news the other day, that Motown writer/arranger/producer Norman Whitfield died last…
Some Random Things
I’ve got a bunch of really good records recently that I haven’t had much time to write about until now. This is covering from when I came back from vacation and on, I think! On the new tip, the only things I’ve picked up recently were the newest Omar-S and Luke Hess 12″s on Fxhe….
Interview – Reggie Dokes (Psychostasia Recordings)
Here at ISM, we like to give coverage to artists we respect and admire. It’s been a while since we last had an interview up, so here is the next installment. I caught up via email with DJ and producer Reggie Dokes, owner of Psychostasia Recordings, to talk music, the “D”, and being in a…
Who are you?
As we’ve all seen over the years, labels appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, pushing out a few releases here and there and then disappearing off, sometimes leaving a short history of great music – leaving the punter wanting more – other times folding because nobody else could give a shit.

Still Music Feature on Resident Advisor
Speaking of stuff for RA, my profile on Still Music has been up since yesterday without my realizing it! Still has released some absolute belters, and Jerome is a hell of a dude (and a hell of a deejay as well). Check out that mix he did for the piece of all Still releases, it…
Reflections
The last month or so has been a real blur for me. After spending two straight weeks on the beach in (beautiful!) Corolla, NC, I had only one week before school started up for the semester yesterday. This meant that I was nearly completely isolated from music for a couple weeks, which means that I…
dub in moscow
Moritz Von Oswald recently played a rare live show with Tikiman, a long time collaborator. Here’s two hours of dubbed out basic channelings, courtesy of sound+. Much thanks to Matt Cohen for use of the photo from R&S’ 2007 DEMF performance.
Lights out
While this is an international site, this post is on somewhat of a local tip as this week it was announced that Electric City, one of the mainstays of the Dublin scene, is to close the doors in September of its weekly night after a hugely successful 5 and a half years. Nights such as…
I have a Plan A
And if you’re really really quick you might be able to get one too. A 100 copies of Plan A were repressed recently, they’ve already sold out in the US but a few European shops grabbed some copies. Try Rubadub, Juno and Interstellar Sounds. edit: Just read on another forum that due to how quickly…
