My contribution to this blog has been a bit lacking so far to say the least. I’ve been telling myself that this has been down to a new job and working away alot, but I’ve since realised that it’s also partly down to feeling like I’d hit some kind of wall with my record collection….
For me, 2007 ends about three blocks from where it began. Fortunately, those three blocks were the three blocks to the ocean. Looking out of your bedroom window and seeing the ocean right fucking there is what’s up. Big ups to the Baltimore crew for the hookup, it’s always a good time chilling with those…
Brand new disco mix for you all to enjoy, as played on the CBS on Sunday. Boogie Down Brixton
I thought I’d resurect this mix I did way back at the start of the year. It was fun to make and it’s probably one of my favourites I made this year. It’s one of the first I made after coming back from 8 months working in Brownsville, Texas – it was such a relief…
So, it has been a hot minute since our last post. It is that time of year when school gets insane in the run up to finals and it is killing me yet again. For fun, the lab report that my lab partner and I had spent at least 15 hours on over the last…
Since I haven’t been around to contribute much (or at all) on here yet, I though I’d start with a couple of mixes Norm sent a little while back. One Disco classics, one House. Disco Classics Deep House

Thankfully that was all they took, and everyone was alright. So I decided to go hit the record shop for…
I know you’re out there, I see you in our traffic logs đŸ˜‰ My little sister is studying abroad in Buenos Aires this semester, but she’s having a hard time finding music in the vein of what is covered in this blog (mainly Detroit techno, deep house, funk, soul, jazz, etc). She also needs to…
Joe Zawinul, the great jazz keyboardist, died yesterday at his home in Austria. His work on Miles Davis’ albums in the late 60’s and early 70’s really set the standard for electric piano playing. He was also responsible for the awesome band Weather Report, in addition to his work with both Nat and Cannonball Adderly…
Few long term EDM (electronic dance music) fans can claim not to be familiar with A Guy Called Gerald (AGCG)–and for good reason. He’s been making funky and genre-defining dance music since the mid- to late 1980s. Before making dance music history with this release, Gerald Simpson made abstract and futuristic acid house as the creative lead behind 808 State.
