After many delays (what’s new eh), the latest Apartment 12″ is finally out in the world.

New Detroit Shit
As our newest writer Joseph Hallam discussed in his first post here on infinitestatemachine, the big trend in house music right now is knocking off old 90s New York and New Jersey house music.

The House That Jack Didn’t Build
Last year saw a huge influx of producer’s both new and old jumping on the house band wagon. They would label their work deep and it would follow a path, well, more of a rocky road, that we have been down many times before. This road took us back to the 90’s but it left…

More so than ever this year seems to be rife with end of year lists. Most decent things have gotten a nod off someone at this stage so maybe this is redundant. Oh well. This is not a definitive list of 2012’s top music (even for me). I bought less music this year than any…
Pipecock’s Year End Round-Up 2012
It may be hard to believe, but here I am making a post on my blog yet again 😉 2012 was a pretty crazy year for music in my opinion. It always seemed that there were far more cool records than I had money to purchase, so that seems to scream GOOD YEAR to me….
