 On the record buying front it’s been a hectic couple of weeks for me, overspending to the point of stupidity – and no Christmas presents bought for anyone yet either, oops. Most of these were picked up on a recent trip to London, where it was nice for a change to have so many…

A Matter of Respect
In the comments section on the previous post by pipecock, one person recommended Ragtyme’s “I Can’t Stay Away”. It’s another much desired reissue on the excellent Clone Classic Cuts series, which officially licences hard to get Chicago/italo/etc classics. However, as many of us are aware, there’s a lot of “reissues” out there which are not…
House Music is Still House Music
There’s been a silly amount of good new house records out recently. I’ve talked about a bunch of them, but I’ve got a bunch more even since then. Really this has to be one of the best runs of new records in years, it seems like every week there’s enough stuff out to make an…
Some More New Records
It was strange, doing another order of brand new records so close behind the last one, but there were just too many dope things that dropped at the same time that it was a necessity. Theo Parrish dropped two 12″s on the same day, one for each of my favorite tracks from the CD version…
Boatloads of Wax and Other Fun Stuff
I finally did some catching up on new releases and had a couple nice digging sessions over the past week. I have this big ol’ Stack O’ Records to show for it! Exciting. The Moodymann remix of Jose James’ “Desire” is an immediate classic. I knew this would be top 10 of the year material…
Some Random Things
I’ve got a bunch of really good records recently that I haven’t had much time to write about until now. This is covering from when I came back from vacation and on, I think! On the new tip, the only things I’ve picked up recently were the newest Omar-S and Luke Hess 12″s on Fxhe….
Who are you?
As we’ve all seen over the years, labels appear and disappear in the blink of an eye, pushing out a few releases here and there and then disappearing off, sometimes leaving a short history of great music – leaving the punter wanting more – other times folding because nobody else could give a shit. It…
Still Music Feature on Resident Advisor
Speaking of stuff for RA, my profile on Still Music has been up since yesterday without my realizing it! Still has released some absolute belters, and Jerome is a hell of a dude (and a hell of a deejay as well). Check out that mix he did for the piece of all Still releases, it…
West African Heat
First off, apologies for being so quiet recently, but a recent move has kept me away from the decks and GTA4 has kept me from doing anything remotely constructive for the last month or so đŸ˜‰ Anyway, this is a belated audio companion to my earlier post on the recent series of excellent compilations on…
Some Jams I Am Feeling Right Now
Having not one but two dancey gigs in the same weekend was pretty nice, especially since the past bunch of sets I have played were more like bars where I was playing lots of other types of records. I got to trot out a bunch of different things that I had either never played before,…
