Some of My DJing Tendencies
Fall of 2017 marked twenty years since I first purchased turntables, and sometime earlier in the year, twenty years of buying dance records. This year will be two decades since my first gigs playing records in front of the general public. Thanks to starting a LONG overdue organization of my records (they have never been…
Record Store Memories: Hypervinyl Edition
This is the first of a new series on infinitestatemachine called “Record Store Memories”. It’s a highly subjective account of my relationship with various record stores over the years, and will appear appropriately infrequently until I’ve covered all the important ones. For the first one I had to choose the record store that changed my…
My Favorite Music From 2017
This was a weird year for me and music. It was the first year I didn’t release a record, either on a label of mine or as an artist, since 2009, and honestly I really needed the break. I also formally announced my separation from the old labels and PTA, which has given me time…
Unabridged, Unbroken, Unsound.
Unsound Krakow took place over the course of a week this October; it was my first time visiting in 3 years after going regularly since 2010 or so. The week is part music festival part endurance test. There is a gargantuan amount to try and get through for ones time there so I’m gonna try…

There was an explosion of writers taking things…
Nu Era – Geometricks EP
The storied career of Marc Mac could fill up a few blog posts; the versatile producer probably most famous as being one of the founding members of 4 Hero has been active since the late 80s across multiple genres. I’m gonna pass up on writing up a hagiography of the guy and cut straight to…
Reggie Dokes – Ten-5 / Recloose – Spirit Knows
Reggie Dokes – 10-5 Around 2011 / 2012 Reggie Dokes, the Atlanta based Detroiter, went off the radar in terms of house and techno. 4 years can be a long time in the fickle world of the hype machine and Dokes return last year was pretty low-key in this regard, even though it was a…
Mix: Mad Things in the Queue, Into the Clouds / Hessle Audio Radio
First mix of the year – I know, its already April – went out on the Rinse FM airwaves last Thursday as part of the Hessle Audio show. Originally asked to record it as part of a series of label profiles, my laziness got the better of me and I missed the boat on that…
