We are very pleased to offer up a new guest mix by Juju & Jordash! On this mix, ISM’s boys in Amsterdam come through with a nice, relaxed selection of atmospheric joints ranging in genre from jazz to ambient to krautrock to techno. They really nailed my current mood, abstract and deep. JJ+J also recently…

Crazy Times, Mikebee Mix, New Recloose 12″, etc.
The semester is winding down quickly, which means lots of insanity on my part and explains our relative quiet of late. Last weekend we celebrated my man Tony’s last free time before joining the navy. Friday night, myself, Chris Schubert, Tony, and Brother Mike rocked out the Alto Lounge, bringing back memories of the golden…
DFA – WTF?!?!?!
I can remember the first time I heard a record on DFA. It was Morgan Geist’s remix of The Rapture’s “House Of Jealous Lovers”. My man Jwan played it for me at his house all the way back in 2002 when it dropped, and I was feeling it because Morgan is generally the man. So…
A Better Definition Of Soul Music
There is a popular misconception that soulful dance music has to include Rhodes keys, vocals, jazz saxophone samples, etc. This is not really what it is all about, it is about personal expression. Thomas Brinkmann has always been a supporter of good music (I remember seeing him talking about Moodymann in a guest review in…
MP3 Blogs
Our homie Steve over at Little White Earbuds dropped a nice story on RA about the effect of MP3 blogs. As you can see from our links section, we link to quite a few MP3 blogs. The main difference in what I look for in an MP3 blog is that they are putting up old,…
Waajeed
When I first heard Waajeed’s music years ago, I liked what he was doing but at the same time I felt like he was something of a J Dilla knock-off. They were boys, so that didn’t necessarily bother me. Then my man Selecta dropped his remix of Troubleman’s “Without You” (which featured on my recent…
Extending the Play (of the techno record)
Are the golden days of the full-length album and the 4+ track E.P. of house, dance, whatever we care to call our beloved funky dance music well and truly over? Or is there still hope? Based on my recent vinyl purchases from overseas, I will say that all is not lost yet. Terrence Dixon, one…
The Return of Pépé Bradock, The New Black Dog Album, and More…..
It’s been a while since I picked up a solo Pépé Bradock record. Almost 4 years, to be exact (and I know that “Distorted Echoes” is not really considered one of his “classics”, though I think it is way underrated), broken up only by the excellent collaborative 10″ “Unicorn/Cheval” (which I used on my “Cold…
One More From Noleian Reusse: Black Tekno Edits
His “Black Tekno” mix has been a bit of a hit for us, so we have one more little tidbit lined up from the man like Noleian Reusse. This one was online a while back, but it features some of my all time favorite dance songs edited up and mashed together into a hot half…
Listening
I’ve finally got round to uploading a couple of mixes that a few people on the disception forum have been asking for: january05 January05 seems to be alot of people’s favorite mix of mine. It’s a long one – 3 hours, but goes all the way from Mos Def and Q-Tip to Shake and Juan…
