Well aren’t they all? This one is no different. Here’s a slightly long, slightly scatty rundown of what went on in music for me in 2013. I’ve always enjoyed doing this and it’s probably what I’ll miss the most about ISM. So away we go…

Pipecock’s Picks for 2013
I’ve been doing some form of year-end lists for a while now. The approach I take is always the same, and it is based on nothing other than music I loved and loved to play during that year. I don’t care about whether a record is rare and worth a lot of money, or easily…
Video: Tr One – Huguenot Burial Ground 1733 / New Apartment Bizness
It’s kinda been an age since I’ve talked about new music on here, and now that I am it’s all a bit whorish but hey, this is how the blog rolls from time to time. What we have here is the new video created by cfmeister for a brand new cut by Tr One. This…
Video: Lerosa – Decisions
Finally got to put the label’s first music video online this week. Created by irish artist Sibyl Montague, it for Decisions by Lerosa. Stuck on the B2 of the record, I felt it was a lil bit over-looked at the time. It’s one of my favourite Lerosa cuts, and was the first track I got…
Leonid: Midas, Erdbeerschnitzel – Cushions
Time for a couple of suitably summery house 12″s me thinks. While Paul Leonid Smith’s release schedule has never been too top-heavy it’s still been 3 years (longer than I actually initially thought) since his last 12″, on Sistrum. It was a solid affair if not quite as strong as previous releases and while he…
Jordan GCZ: Crybaby J
I’m not 100% sure why but the debut slab off Jordan Czamanski’s new label Off Minor was not what I expected. Maybe I associate Off Minor with Juju & Jordash’s decidedly eclectic radio show of the same name, or maybe it was the expectation that a solo off shoot from an already experimental act would…
Dj Overdose: Bizarro World, Aardvarck: 1990
Jeroen Warmenhoven is someone who could never be accused of overkill when it comes to his recorded output so it nearly comes as a bit of a surprise to have 2 Dj Overdose releases appear in the same month. I already covered the killer 12″ on Lunar Disko and no sooner had the needle been…
Frak – Erase
We all know by now about the (re)emergence of Sweden’s Frak in 2012, a trio of strange fish who had managed to fly under the radar of most of the world up until a string of releases last year, most notably on Digitalis and Kontra. So after such a high profile year it was odd…
Bitter Sweet Blues ‘n Black Deers
Even by my standard that headline is a pretty awful attempt at rounding up a few of the releases highlghted in this post. But it’s late at night so whatever. Let’s start with the the bitter so. Mr Scott Grooves has a tendency to appear on the fringes every couple of years before slipping away…
Jitterbug in Dublin tomorrow night, Apt00 Repress plus a couple of other tings…
Tomorrow night sees the Dublin debut of one of ISM’s more stealth operators, Jitterbug. Never one for fanfare, Jitter has quietly been sneaking out some killer music over the last few years, mostly via Uzuri, with his Arcane Theory ep from this time last year being a standout release. He also featured recently on this…
