Our latest guest mix comes from electro maestro Dj Overdose who’s been kicking it about the Dutch scene for quite some time now, releasing not only as a solo artist but under a few others guises such as The Hasbeens and Novamen. Under the Overdose moniker he had two fantastic releases in 09; In For…
Chip, Vince and Gerard
I’m pretty sure the Gridface blog has been mentioned on here before – it’s in our links anyways – and it continues to be one of the finest blogs for quality electronic dance muzaks. Recently Jacob has posted interviews with a couple of major players in the early Chicago house scene, Vince Lawrence and Chip…
Guest Post and Mix: Scott Ferguson
Scott Ferguson has been a contributor on the mix front for almost two years here at ISM, and over Christmas he even debuted a digital album here for us. Today, he adds one more notch to his ISM belt: guest writer! Scott was obviously inspired by a recent night out at Fabric on January 23rd,…
Discogs “Top” 100 and the Arthur Russell connection
Many regular visitors to the discogs website will probably be aware of this list that appeared at the beginning of the week, detailing the most expensive records bought on the website’s marketplace. It’s an interesting and at times amusing list, veering from Throbbing Gristle boxsets to Italo and hip hop 12″s and even a rare…
Epic Post: Late ’09/Early ’10 Record Reviews
My computer being down over the holidays led to a massive backlog in new records that I haven’t had a chance to mention here. Since I finally got the PC up and running again, I’ve been hit with another deluge of new things. And I have at least 15 more new records on their way…
Guest Mix: Lerosa – All Todd Terry Mixxx
This guest mix is a really interesting one. Longtime ISM homeboy Lerosa decided to do a tribute mix to one of house music’s all time legends, Todd Terry. In all the hoopla over house music’s “revival”, Mr. Terry has been relatively overlooked. Why? It could be the dated sounds of his early sample-based house tunes,…
‘Round About Midnight – Guest Mix for Juju & Jordash
Hi folks, Much like meschi posted last week, I’ve been a bit quiet on here recently, but have been busy with the mixes again recently (there’s another one ready to post up soon). First up is a guest mix I did for Juju & Jordash (which they originally asked for about 4/5 months ago!). I…
Lerosa – Dual Nature: Cassette Album on Further Records
Generally, we don’t devote entire posts to single releases here at ISM, but I think this one is exceptional and deserves mention all by itself (even with the crazy backlog of records I need to get to!). As you most likely know, we have been big supporters of Lerosa since the beginning of this blog….
Polls from ’09 and the ’00s….
The end of ’09 also brought the end of the irritatingly unnamed decade of the ’00s. In the two previous years writing on this blog I have not had any sort of rhyme or reason to my year end wrap-up posts, and since I’m already almost a month late I’m not about to start now….
Some radio bizness
Just a little heads up that I’m gonna be guesting on the Delicious Mix Sessions on Power FM tomorrow from between 6 – 8pm (1pm over yonder ocean), along with Mike Black and Eoin Callanan, who present the weekly show. For anyone interested, you can listen on the net here
