I’ve bought an ungodly number of records this summer, hundreds just in the last 2 months alone. It’s really gonna be difficult to narrow it down to something palatable, but I’m just gonna try to hit some of the highest of the highlights in new and old music that has found its way into my…

A Ton of Good Music
The past week and a half or so has really been an outstanding week for new music for me. From brand new joints, to reissues, to finds in the used shops, shit’s been firing on all cylinders. Let’s get down to brass tacks. The “Vertical Ascent” LP by Moritz Von Oswald Trio is everything I…
Some More Records…..
Got a couple more records since the last post…. First up is the “Music For A Saturday Evening” album by BSTC on All Natural Inc., usually a hip-hop label but this time delivering awesome live soulful house. I have to give the credit to this selection to Kai Alcé who dropped “Love It” on his…
From the library
I’ve been listening to a couple of library LPs over the past few days, prompting me to make a (rare) post about them and also some other music I’ve been playing recently. The idea of the library LP is something that fascinates me, especially given the amazing music that found its way on to some…
More new records and ISM on the Wireless
A few records I’ve picked up recently that tom didn’t mention in his last post. First off there’s the new Reggie Dokes on one of the new Clone labels, Loft Supreme. Reggie’s a big fav here at ISM, of course, and this is another fantastic example why. 2 quality deep house tracks, more dancefloor friendly…
It’s Been A Minute…
… since I did any record reviews. I mentioned the recent Dam-Funk 7″ back in May (and I got the most recent Stone’s Throw EP by him which is just as awesome as you would expect), but I never got around to talking about the things I got in Chicago in March, nor anything else…
Dam-Funky
I know we’ve talked about him more than enough considering how few records he has released, but this new 7″ by Dam-Funk under his Wavelength alias is his best release so far. Dropping on a sublabel of Peoples Potential Unlimited (a great boogie reissue label whose catalog includes the fantastic “Danger Zone” by Midnight Express…
Guest Mix: Juju & Jordash – Don’t Shave the Children
Juju and Jordash are on quite a hot streak right now. First off, their recent white label release on the new Dekmantel label is number one on Rush Hour’s House Sales Chart this week, and for good reason: it’s a bad as hell 12″. “Blue Meanies” is more of a straightforward dancefloor banger than you…
New Mulatu album and Analog Africa Vol 5
There’s been a major revival of African music of the 60s and 70s in recent years. Labels such as Strut, Soundway, Analog Africa, Honest Jon’s, Vampi Soul, Buda Musique, Oriki Music and others have been at the forefront of this revival. Taking multiple trips to Africa to go digging in dusty humid conditions to unearth…
New Records
Just a run down of some records I’ve picked up recently that have been doing it in my earhole, new releases, reissues and older finds. First off there’s the latest Moodymann mini-album, Anotha Black Sunday, once again released under the Moody alias. It’s not as experimental as Det.Riot 67, but is a better album overall…
