Another year, another list of amazing music that no other media source will talk about. If you want to keep getting spoon fed a bunch of bullshit music, from a bunch of bullshit “artists”, you know where to find that. I can never get tired of putting these year end pieces out simply because I…

Vinalog – Perspectives
Before it became de rigueur for everyone to make their house jams “gritty” and “raw” or whatever those reason pre-sets are that so many use as in their badly mastered, leaden productions the Live Jams / Relative crew were quietly releasing some rough-edged but – importantly – funky 12s beginning around 2009 or so. EMG…
TWINS – Tassel
CGI Records out of Atlanta has been responsible for some of the biggest dancefloor killers in my deejay sets over the last year or so. Jams by C Powers (“Phoenix Down”) and Jerome (“5”) have been especially lethal. The newest one that is smashing for me has just come out on vinyl and it is…
Tom Dicicco – Mad Dealer
I will be honest and say the pairing of UK techno producer Tom Dicicco and Jordan Czamanski’s Off Minor Recordings was not one I expected but then I like when a label throws up something unexpected like this. It certainly makes me more curious than just churning out the same old same old – though…
Pharaohs – Rinse Dream
What with it being a pretty summery day here in Dublin today I’m going back again to an earlier release from the year with the last 12″ from the US group Pharaohs. Trading on the less is more approach over the last few years, their sporadic releases have all been pretty much essential, especially the stunning…
Paxton Fettel – Everything Stays The Same
My posts on new music have been a bit slack since we restarted, so there may be some posts over the next while that will see some back tracking on releases from earlier in the year, and I can’t let this album from Danish producer Paxton Fettel (coming out through the ace Greta Cottage Workshop…
Siren – A/Way
Metro Area’s popularity peaked with the release of their album all the way back in 2002, but both members have continued on making excellent music together and separately ever since. Darshan Jesrani‘s output has not received the accolades that Morgan Geist’s has, but that has never been due to lack of quality. Using disco as…
Beard In Dust – BAH025
Some unusual edits from Russia on this mysterious German label. Who are they? Where do they come from? Who am I? Can you tanz? Buy it here, or request it at your local store..
Linkwood – Expressions
One of my favorite tracks of the year so far is the title track from Linkwood’s album Expressions. I’ve actually had the album since late last year, and had it come out in 2014 it would have been near the top of my list for that year. Now that I’ve had time to really digest…
Omar-S – “I Wanna Know”
Another one of the big jams from earlier in 2015, Omar-S’ “I Wanna Know” remains one of the most potent killers in my record bag even after so many months of hammering it. The vocals by James Garcia combined with the slightly cheesy synths give this a similar vibe to early Chicago house or lo-fi…
