For me, 2007 ends about three blocks from where it began. Fortunately, those three blocks were the three blocks to the ocean. Looking out of your bedroom window and seeing the ocean right fucking there is what’s up. Big ups to the Baltimore crew for the hookup, it’s always a good time chilling with those…

Promo Action and New chit!
Before I begin, I would like to take a moment to thank Dancetracks (nyc) for all of the years of fine service, it’s sad to see another vinyl emporium shut down. …..Now on to the music: TERRENCE, DIXON Directions (Underl_ne) 12″ Another sublime offering from Mr. Dixon to follow-up the recently released Yore Album and…
Record Shopping In Other Places Is Fun
Today my wife and I attended the wedding of a friend of hers who lives in Akron, Ohio. I’ve had the displeasure of deejaying there in the past and let’s just say that it is not exactly a bastion of great dance music (although this was really my first time there in the daylight and…
Friday Goodies
Lots of nice stuff for everybody this Friday: some words on Chymera’s upcoming releases, info about Convextion appearing on the radio this evening, and a nice disco/house/electro/techno mix by gmos….
Overload
Something rather unique is happening right now: there are enough awesome new releases coming out that I can’t even keep up with them all! I honestly can’t remember the last time this happened to me. This comes at a very annoying time as I have been having really good luck at the local used shops…

EVER!). Add to that their own in-house design team’s custom label and…
New Reviews: Lerosa and Juju + Jordash
Lerosa “Design EP” A Touch of Class 12″ Lerosa “Seeker EP” Enclave 12″ Lerosa is taking 2007 by storm. The man has been dropping bombs all over the place, starting with the “Ruski” 12″ for Real Soon earlier this summer, demonstrating his personal take on slow organic house music. As good as the Real Soon…
The Roots of Jungle
I have a gig tonight deejaying at the local jungle party, opening for Fanu (who is the bomb, if any of you like that mid 90’s mashed up breakbeats flavor, Fanu has drawn comparisons to old Photek and Source Direct). For my set, I decided to do what I call “the roots of jungle”, which…
One For Daddy-O
Jazz always reminds me of the city
A case of the old (guard) making the new exciting again
Few long term EDM (electronic dance music) fans can claim not to be familiar with A Guy Called Gerald (AGCG)–and for good reason. He’s been making funky and genre-defining dance music since the mid- to late 1980s. Before making dance music history with this release, Gerald Simpson made abstract and futuristic acid house as the creative lead behind 808 State.
