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…

House Session
Here’s another new mix session. This time I got mixed up in some Chicago acid house jams from the 80s/early 90s. Mostly on Trax, DJ Int., House Jam & Musique labels. Pump it up.
Another mix session
I was listening through some electro/breakdance and 80s rap records and I am still blown away by their production. The beats are so big in the mix. I put together a mix of some electro classics and some not so well known tunes. There’s a few 80s rap tracks too. These records were made to…
Record Sessions…
I had a very quiet time musically in 2019, my son was born last January so we have had our hands full. Recently we built some new record shelves and since then I have been reorganizing my collection to make it easier to find stuff. I have even been trying to reduce the quantity of…
2019 According to Pipecock
Yeah, so here it is. My year end wrap up. 2019 has been a weird one. I’ve been mostly off FB and Tw*tter, and even before that I had blocked most dance music media and any hipster or trash DJs/producers/fans. So I’ve just been damn near completely oblivious to anything popular, which was refreshing. At…

There may be a few more things I pick up but any noteworthy joints will just have to appear in my year end post which will be coming in just a few weeks. For now, check these out…. Theo Parrish with Maurissa Rose – “This Is For You” – Sound Signature When I wrote about…
WEST COAST HAPPENINGS AND THINGS
Can anyone tell me how the game of DJing has become a popularity contest? I am noticing lots of New Jacks expecting to headline events, and demanding respect without putting in any work. I am not going to put this solely on technology, but this generation’s need for instant gratification is disheartening. In my view…
West Coast Happenings
Summer in San Diego was quite fruitful for Rhythm Nation San Diego. We made it two years and had quite an event at Kava Lounge with Master Kev, Taylor Houseman, and I. As well, hosted LADYMONIX for a crowd who ate up everything she threw at them. Things I took away from the summer were…
Infinite State Radio archives
The Infinite State Radio show on deepfrequency.com ran from 2009 to 2010 transmitted live from my old flat in Brixton. Guest mixes can be found alongside my own hazy contributions, including those from some of the other ISM contributors. The music is as wide ranging and esoteric as you might expect. The shows are gradually…
Early Fall Music
The seemingly never-ending heat of summer 2019 is finally winding down, and the cool, crisp air of fall that always seems to make music sound just that little bit better to my ears is sweeping through. Thankfully there has been a small handful of new releases that feel tailor-made for the season that have caught…
