I’m also currently trying to pick up the pace on mixes too (from zero to…something) and last week I provided the latest episode of Dublin’s RLSD Records Dark Stream series that they’ve been putting out throughout lockdown, featuring local heroes such as Barry Greaves, Tr One, & Rustal. It’s a video mix that is currently…

A Whole Lot (of nothing) Going On + New Music
I guess this post serves as some sort of coming out of retirement with regards to my writing here on ISM. It has been over 2.5 years since I wrote about new releases on here or anything else for that matter – bar a couple of posts on mixes / recordings. I’m not going to…
Quarantine Record Acquisitions
Stolen from interwebs It’s been a minute! Last time I posted about new music was just after everything shut down back in March. I won’t bore everybody with rehashing how poorly things have gone here in the States since then, but thankfully Pittsburgh has mostly dodged the worst of the virus thus far. I’ve been…
Even more mixes
Yes, my mix series keeps coming, I am posting a few mixes at a time so I don’t flood the other contributors posts out! Sending some big love out to all the ISM readers out there in these crazy times. Session 011 – a 70s German ambient synthesiser journey from Tangerine Dream, Klaus Schulze, Cluster…
Mike Huckaby
Detroit legend Mike Huckaby passed away this weekend. It’s hard to really say anything about what he meant to so many other DJs and fans without sounding trite, so I’m going to just speak a little bit about some of my own experiences with him. I was into deeper house and techno music starting in…
Mix: Live from Banger Cliff
Mixes from me are even rarer in the last few years than my posting on yon blog here. I had been planning on recording a mix recently but my home set up is a little bit scrappy and lockdown means that a new one is currently not possible, but in the mean time a recording…
Can’t Fake The Feeling – Deep House Mix
Not a new mix this week but a deep house mix I found on a CD from around 10 years ago. Starts off with some deep late night chug from Larry Heard, Omar S, Theo Parrish etc, then gets a bit more jacking later on with some Chicago classics. Enjoy!
More mixes
Originally I was aiming to put out a mix a month as part of my Record Session series. Since we are all stuck at home I have changed it to a mix every week. I seem to have some more time on my hands than originally planned. I hope these mixes help to keep you…
2020 Thus Far
Stolen from the interwebs Yeah, this has been a fucking weird one. I’m not even going to get into it here, really, because I’m over all the bullshit. I spent the first couple months of the year holed up in the studio, knocking out what will be my first solo record forthcoming on my new…
Detroit Mix
This week’s mix session focuses on Detroit techno on a more downtempo soundscape tip. Artists such as Detroit Escalator Co, Urban Tribe, Shake, Millsart, Claude Young & Carl Craig. I’ve never been to Detroit but there’s something so evocative in the electronic music that came from there in the 90s that I almost feel like…
