Sun Ra Promo Mix
Here’s a short Sun Ra mix I did as a promo for this weekend’s Sun Ra Birthday Celebrations with Mike Huckaby (see previous post). It focuses on the late 70s and early 80s period which was probably his grooviest period, should serve as a nice primer for those unfamiliar with his work. 1 Sleeping Beauty…
Mike Huckaby Weekender feat the Music of Sun Ra
The MN Collective have a very exciting weekend lined up for us with Detroit’s Mike Huckaby running tings on both Friday and Saturday night this weekend. Friday night will be a celebration of the music of Sun Ra in the Grand Social, one of the most forward thinking musicians of the 20th Century, he was…
March-April 2011 Annotated Top 20
There’s been so much great music coming out lately and I haven’t written about records in a long time so I decided to do a Top 20 chart for March and April with some commentary on each one. Listed in alphabetical order because I couldn’t really rank them and besides, I don’t want anybody to…
Givin’ You the Business
A decade ago in Pittsburgh, Pipecock and I got really tired of the rave scene, which was, you know, like, a really big deal at the time, right? Tom had heard about this fellow named MJ Cole, and played me “Sincere” one night at our crib. I have to admit, I wasn’t immediately enamored, but…
Craig List
Wow, the last post I delivered certainly received a lot of feedback. Much appreciated to all those who replied and gave their two-cents worth. If I had the wherewitall and the time, I’d love to promote a Sunday afternoon gig that would be family-friendly – preferably outdoors in good weather, with a BBQ and a…
Dying breed
Carl Craig hit my home town of Dublin recently, the night before Paddy’s Day, as part of the tour celebrating 20 years of Planet E. A pal of mine was considering going – but, he asked, would he look out of place in the crowd at the venue, as he is a man in his mid-thirties?
To remix or not to remix
A few weeks ago – around the time of my last post mentioning all the remixers that Planet E had lined up for their 20th Anniversary releases – myself and Tom got in a fairly heated discussion over this element of dance music. It ended up with us agreeing to disagree on the subject so…
new mix – rest of the best of 2010 part 1
People have been rightfully hassling me to sum up the best tunes of 2010, which admittedly is part of my job as a member of the ISM community. So, by way of a very late year end chart I put together a quick mix (with a second forthcoming) of my remaining favorite records of last…
Pittsburgh Track Authority
My homeboys Adam Ratana and Preslav Lefterov (you may remember my mentioning them here) and I have been working together on a musical project for the past few months that we call Pittsburgh Track Authority. The first joints from this project will be seeing the light of day very soon through Uzuri Recordings, who have…
