I will be honest and say the pairing of UK techno producer Tom Dicicco and Jordan Czamanski’s Off Minor Recordings was not one I expected but then I like when a label throws up something unexpected like this. It certainly makes me more curious than just churning out the same old same old – though…

Donnacha Costello – Stay Perfectly Still
Donnacha Costello has, in the recent past, produced some of my favorite ambient mixes and recordings. Adding to that legacy of thoughtful ambient music, Costello released Stay Perfectly Still at the end of September as a limited vinyl and digital release through his Bandcamp page. The vinyl is now sold out and while I’m sure there…
Mix: Dimension Series w/ Lerosa + Kenny
Dimension Series is a now annual mix series that is put together by Oscar González of the Static Discos crew in Mexico for which myself and Lerosa were asked to contribute a mix. Though we’ve dj’d many times together this was our first time doing so outside of a club, or recording it. We kept it to about…
Guest Mix: Gavin Guthrie aka TX Connect
Gavin Guthrie, better known as TX Connect appeared on my radar with a split 12″ on Dixon Avenue Basement Jams back in ’13 and since then he has gone on to release more of his roughhewn house music via the Scottish imprint alongside an album on Creme Organization amongst other releases. While his releases so…
Jorge Velez – MMT8 Archives 2
Jorge Velez has quietly been posting up both new music and (in the case of the MMT8 releases) archival music through a label he runs called TEMPLO over on bandcamp. With so much reissuing going on these days, reissues that are often quite expensive, it’s a refreshing change of pace to see someone tapping the past…

whoism: Maurice Fulton
Whoism – the first in a series of posts dedicated to the (maybe relatively unsung) musical heroes that made us at Infinite State Machine who were are today. A quick five or so tracks per post: a classic, a lesser known tune, a recent release, etc. Sometimes it feels like people don’t really talk about…
Guest Mix: Dean Feeney (Tr One) & Shane O’Meara (Gary’s Gang)
As much by coincidence as anything one half of our latest guest mix comes from the Dj behind the very first and last (in our old incarnation) mixes we hosted on the site, Dean Feeney. This time around he goes B2B with another former guest, Shane O’Meara who has played regularly in and around Dublin for…
Mix: Wobbly Leg Syndrome
My latest mix was broadcast on John Heckle’s Universal Frequency show on KMAH a couple of days ago and is up now for streaming / download on Soundcloud. John is up for the first hour with set of lush deep techno and electro and I take over for the second with music from the likes…
divisive states 2: Carlos Santana
“If Santana works then the real shit is going to kill ’em!” -Francis Grasso, DJ at the Sanctuary NY, 1970, from Love Saves the Day. Did Carlos Santana get a bad rap? At the end of the 60s his band was obscure, then they played Woodstock and many said they were the highlight. But as…
