There’s been a silly amount of good new house records out recently. I’ve talked about a bunch of them, but I’ve got a bunch more even since then. Really this has to be one of the best runs of new records in years, it seems like every week there’s enough stuff out to make an…

Heads up!
Just a quick note to say my gakfoundation webspace has evolved slightly into something more than an open directory, after being like that for 2 years. All our mixes are now there for download. I’ll be adding more content soon such as club recordings, mixes from like minded souls, classic mixes from the vaults and…

Some More New Records
It was strange, doing another order of brand new records so close behind the last one, but there were just too many dope things that dropped at the same time that it was a necessity. Theo Parrish dropped two 12″s on the same day, one for each of my favorite tracks from the CD version…

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…
