It was a looooong long time ago when I first encountered a mysterious poster on some forum (maybe RA?! lol) who called himself THE BUTCHER. Had to have been like 07-08 or so. And this cat was just hilarious and always on point. The world of dance music shit-talkers is not a big one so…

10 Qs With Aaron Paar of Teflon Dons
Teflon Dons is one of those groups whose name has great resonance in house music despite a relatively small output that mostly came out over twenty years ago. Their tracks were largely unobtanium until a few recent reissues made a portion of their catalog widely available, especially the double pack on Must Have Records (which…
10 Qs With Nick Marshall aka Taelue
Chilling I spent my Sunday afternoon listening to new records and one of the highlights was the compilation The Barbershop which drops on vinyl today (and digitally in three weeks) on the great label Perpetual Rhythms, which is co-owned by Victor Aguinaga and Nick Marshall, the latter of whom is the subject of this edition…
10 Qs with Volcov
Volcov in the mix Enrico Crivellaro aka Volcov is a cat whose music and labels I have been buying for basically my entire time in dance music, stretching back nearly twenty years. Neroli is in my opinion the strongest house music record label in Europe, and usually ends up being the trigger that forces me…
Interview: February & Mars
Even more sparse than our mix series is interviews with artists / djs, but sure what of it. Earlier this week I spoke with Jack Considine, one half of the Irish band February & Mars (alongside Carl Ramberg), who released their debut self-titled LP on Don Williams’ Mojuba imprint in October of last year. For…

Tr One – A statement of Defiance
Just a quick post to point you in the way of a small interview myself and Dean Feeney from Tr One did with Irish website Thumped.com. The usual topics for us luddites; vinyl n’ hardware plus how we feel about the Irish electronic music scene…. Read it here The Drum Dance 12″ has now hit…
Interview and Guest Mix: Jay Simon
Today we kick off the week with a mix by a name that is probably pretty new to most of you: Jay Simon from Washington DC. I had the pleasure of meeting Jay earlier this year when he came up to Pittsburgh when Omar-S played here in January. I could tell that he knew what…
New Records, Future Times & Victor Rosado Interview
Just a quick round up of some new releases I’ve been feeling in the past couple of months and a nice interview with Victor Rosado… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Um3ahDkKHc Theo Parrish’s remix of About Group’s You’re No Good is his trademark deeply layered grimey house cut, with heavy bass, jazz keys, and vocal samples shimmering in and out….
A Chat With Rick Wilhite
We’ve been pretty slack on the interview front here at ISM for quite some time. Don’t think for a second that this post is a sign of us picking up the pace either as none of us had anything to do with it! My man in Tokyo, Andrew Hogan, recently caught up with Rick Wilhite…
