This week’s mix session focuses on Detroit techno on a more downtempo soundscape tip. Artists such as Detroit Escalator Co, Urban Tribe, Shake, Millsart, Claude Young & Carl Craig. I’ve never been to Detroit but there’s something so evocative in the electronic music that came from there in the 90s that I almost feel like…

House Session
Here’s another new mix session. This time I got mixed up in some Chicago acid house jams from the 80s/early 90s. Mostly on Trax, DJ Int., House Jam & Musique labels. Pump it up.
Another mix session
I was listening through some electro/breakdance and 80s rap records and I am still blown away by their production. The beats are so big in the mix. I put together a mix of some electro classics and some not so well known tunes. There’s a few 80s rap tracks too. These records were made to…
Record Sessions…
I had a very quiet time musically in 2019, my son was born last January so we have had our hands full. Recently we built some new record shelves and since then I have been reorganizing my collection to make it easier to find stuff. I have even been trying to reduce the quantity of…
2019 According to Pipecock
Yeah, so here it is. My year end wrap up. 2019 has been a weird one. I’ve been mostly off FB and Tw*tter, and even before that I had blocked most dance music media and any hipster or trash DJs/producers/fans. So I’ve just been damn near completely oblivious to anything popular, which was refreshing. At…

WEST COAST HAPPENINGS AND THINGS
Can anyone tell me how the game of DJing has become a popularity contest? I am noticing lots of New Jacks expecting to headline events, and demanding respect without putting in any work. I am not going to put this solely on technology, but this generation’s need for instant gratification is disheartening. In my view…
Early Fall Music
The seemingly never-ending heat of summer 2019 is finally winding down, and the cool, crisp air of fall that always seems to make music sound just that little bit better to my ears is sweeping through. Thankfully there has been a small handful of new releases that feel tailor-made for the season that have caught…
A Couple Late Summer New Records
It’s been kind of dry out there for me recently. Having a huge backlog of music from DEMF weekend made it seem not all that bad though. And the good thing is that the couple records I have picked up have all been quite excellent, some of my favorite music of the year so far….
Early Summer 2019 Jams
DEMF weekend is always a goldmine for me acquiring new music, and this year it was so much that it took a while to be able take it all in. Now that I have a handle on it, here are some of the highlights of the jams that are actually out and available: Teflon Dons…
