Last month, myself, Tom and Vincent + a crew of others did a live twitch stream, it was my first time doing one, and a good time was had by all involved. Sure, people (in most countries, but not here in Ireland) of younger age groups are starting to get their vaxxes but we are…
New Music Mix By Eric
Over the last month, I have been tying my best to post a new mix on my mixcloud page every week. These mixes are usually about an hour long and consist mostly of new releases that I bought. This one contains tracks from Rebel Tumbao, Geri Romalis, Alton Miller, Boo Williams, Life Recorder, and more. …
March Vinyl Acquisitions
As spring aproaches I am hopeful that we can all get together again on the dance floor sometime soon. Even if that dance floor is outdoors in the park or under a bridge, we all need this and there has been so much good music released over the past year that all of us DJs…
A New Mix
Last nite my new mixxx aired on Stomping Grounds Radio, the show on Dublab by Teflon Dons’ Aaron Paar. He always plays great music from funk and jazz to deep house and garage and more and I listen often, so maybe that’s what put me in the zone when I was recording this mix. As…
We Need People To Listen First Before Speaking
So before I start my day I would just like to state a few things. First music for me is therapy and it is sacred. I don’t do music for popularity, or to been seen. Second music especially techno and house music have a connection to social issues and change. Third I don’t care what…
Early-ish 2021 heaterz + February Feathers show
And so 2021 continues to carry on indefinitely. Unlike some countries, Ireland’s vaccination roll out has been at a, lets say, leisurely pace so far so our Longest Lockdown in the World record continues to hold up and it has become quite testing now – is this reflected in the music I’m buying and listening…
Spring Is In The Air
The weather is starting to warm up and the vaccine is rolling out quickly in the US, giving hope for a summer that will feel a bit more lively than last. My little outdoor party squad with Eric Justin and Jwan Allen is starting to get things ready for the season, providing an alternative to…
Bandcamp: Gimme All Your Lovin’
I take a look at Bandcamp’s new crowd-sourced record pressing operation, and the implications of it and their business model on independent music. In a 12 months behest with relentless negativity, one of the few shining stars to emerge from the malaise that is Covid-19 is Bandcamp. Prior to 2020 the platform had already become…
Early 2021 Record Round-Up
Thanks to the pandemic, shipping records from Europe to the US has taken on a large level of unpredictability in arrival time, so some of these records were actually released in December. But these are the new jams that have been doing it for me since I wrote my year end post about six weeks…
January Feathers on DDR + The last of 2020
Straight out the gap 2021 has had less than a stellar start, plague rave djs making arses out of themselves, washed up old house producers going “all vinyl” and being a tit about it, Djs lawyering up against each other (MAYBE) and thats before we even acknowledge the shit show that has been the actual…
