While Underground Resistance is viewed as one of the most important and seminal record labels to emerge from the Detroit techno scene, there are a couple of smaller Detroit labels from around that time that had close ties with UR that have gone a little under the radar since. Both Vibe Records and Shockwave Records…
Guest mix – Andy Doyle, Lunar Disko Records
This is our 2nd mix from the Lunar Disko crew, a club night and label from here in Dublin. Andy has been co-running the night for nearly 4 years now and the guy’s label just had it’s fifth release, the rather excellent self titled debut ep from Submersible Machines (who’s name you may recognise if…
Disco Nihilist interviewed by Jacob Arnold
As you most likely know by now, it was my label’s debut release that unleashed this maniac who calls himself “Disco Nihilist” on the record buying world. Since that 12″ dropped, he has put out two more records on the Construction Paper label, including one that is just dropping now worldwide called “From One Place…
If You Were Thinking About Coming to Pittsburgh…
I’d say Friday April 30 and Saturday May 1 would be the weekend to do it! It’s of slightly more ISM related content (and it has a prettier poster to go at the top of this post!) so I’m first gonna talk about the excellent Rick Wade show which goes down Saturday May 1 at…
what’s hot as-in-on-fire right now
We’ve been bombarding you with record reviews, most of which are at this point a few weeks to a few months old. A lot of that stuff you just shouldn’t have slept on. With spring in full swing it’s important for you to know what jams you’ll want in your bag if you care about…
Massive Record Reviews Post
I have been slacking on writing about records for almost two months. Currently, I’m trying to get back in the writing groove a bit so I’m just gonna run down a BUTTLOAD of ill shit that I have picked up recently.
I don’t live in Berlin either
A couple of weeks ago the makers of “Speaking In Code” got in contact with me asking if ISM would like to have a look at their documentary. Myself and Tom decided that it would be interesting if we both watched the film and wrote about it from our own perspectives, seeing as one of…
Sleeping in Code
I assume some people might remember the initial post I made almost exactly a year ago regarding the trailer for the film “Speaking In Code”. I will now pause to allow you to go back and rewatch the trailer, read the post and the comments, and then we can get to the heart of the…
winter into spring 2010 rekkids
The quantity of good new records that have come out so far this year has been completely ridiculous. Up until two weeks ago there was so much it was nearly impossible to keep up with everything. I’m going to try to run down the significant releases from the past few months, hitting you with links…
BLOC ’10 : Don’t Leave Me Hanging
This post is a little out of date as it’s now been 3 weeks since BLOC ’10, but it was never gonna appear the week after and I sort of forgot to do it since. But anyways, here is a scatter shot round up of what I caught over the weekend. As with any festival…
