I’ve long been a fan of the work of Andrés; in fact, he was one of those “holy grail” type producers when I first started buying lots of house and techno a decade ago. His tracks have always been heavily sample based, but originally they were much more tracked out and minimal compared to what…
Guest Mix: DJ Red D – September 2011 Mix
In my long summer absence, I never got to talk about DEMF this year. One of the highlights was the Music Institute afterparty, at which I finally was able to meet Red D live in the flesh. We only got a second to chat in a loud room, but it was awesome to make that…
Record Review: Steve Moore on L.I.E.S.
This is chopped out of a new records post I never finished back in the beginning of summer… Some of my favorite music recently has been coming from people of a distinctly non-dance music background. The two members of Pittsburgh prog band Zombi have both had some nice electronic releases on a bunch of labels,…
Record Review: Area – “Youth EP” – Kimochi

As some of the subscribers to the 313 mailing list may already know, Dan Sicko, the author of the book “Techno rebels”–the seminal work about the beginnings of techno/dance scene in Detroit during the late ’70s/early ’80’s, and the creative force behind the Moodmat blog–is very ill. Details regarding Dan Sicko’s current condition are on…
Summer Waxing
Now that we’ve resumed some sort of regularity again on here, it’s time for another record round up covering some of my summer purchases. While I have stopped, for the most part, buying records on line this year, it’s nice that I can still rely on a local store, namely the combined forces of Earwiggle…
Guest Mix – Paudi Ahern, live @ The Bernard Shaw
After a few mixes from ourselves it’s time for another guest mix, this time our 3rd guest from Kerry. Paudi is a resident at the Test night here in Dublin and is widely regarded as one of the finest djs in Ireland. His pacy mixing and constant genre hopping which takes in everything from hip…
New Records, Future Times & Victor Rosado Interview
Just a quick round up of some new releases I’ve been feeling in the past couple of months and a nice interview with Victor Rosado… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Um3ahDkKHc Theo Parrish’s remix of About Group’s You’re No Good is his trademark deeply layered grimey house cut, with heavy bass, jazz keys, and vocal samples shimmering in and out….
