A few weeks ago – around the time of my last post mentioning all the remixers that Planet E had lined up for their 20th Anniversary releases – myself and Tom got in a fairly heated discussion over this element of dance music. It ended up with us agreeing to disagree on the subject so…
My First New Records Post of 2011
This would have come a lot earlier, but an order I made from the UK in late ’10 took until about two weeks ago to get in. Since I already had waited that long, I figured a couple more weeks wouldn’t matter while I waited for more new shit to arrive. Now it’s all here!…
new mix – rest of the best of 2010 part 1
People have been rightfully hassling me to sum up the best tunes of 2010, which admittedly is part of my job as a member of the ISM community. So, by way of a very late year end chart I put together a quick mix (with a second forthcoming) of my remaining favorite records of last…
Pittsburgh Track Authority
My homeboys Adam Ratana and Preslav Lefterov (you may remember my mentioning them here) and I have been working together on a musical project for the past few months that we call Pittsburgh Track Authority. The first joints from this project will be seeing the light of day very soon through Uzuri Recordings, who have…
listen without prejudice
EDIT: As has been mentioned in the comments, I referenced the wrong publication – it was Jockey Slut, not Muzik, which used the blindfold gimmick. It’s all just a haze . . . . Back in the late 1990s, there existed a British dance music magazine called Muzik, which was supposed to be more ‘high…
New Mix – The Rejected Robot
My bad luck with recording club sets continued in vein last weekend at the Lunar Disko party when we got the good ol Mac spinning wheel of death when I finished playing and we tried to cache the record before Automatic Tasty hit the stage. We had to scrap my recording to make sure we…

Omar-S in Pittsburgh Saturday February 19th
As you probably know, this here blog kicked off waaaayyyyyy back in August 2007 when I posted up my interview with Omar-S, which was his first published interview. That shit kind of put us on the map immediately, and we’ve been doing the damn thing ever since. Ever since then, one of my goals has…

Gigs, Records, Mixes, a lil Trax bizness and some Hip Hop
OK, this one is gonna be a lil bit long, but instead of making a bunch of separate posts I’m just gonna throw a load of different stuff in together. January isn’t generally seen as that busy a month in music so apologies for the lack of posts. Looking at a bunch of my recent…
