As promised a couple of weeks ago, here is the guest mix from Mr Vunk. He hasn’t supplied a tracklisting for us but trust me, this is wall to wall with genuine Italo Disco hammers, most of which I don’t recognise anyways. No re-edits, no dubs, this is heavy on the vocals with tight as…

New Records
Just a run down of some records I’ve picked up recently that have been doing it in my earhole, new releases, reissues and older finds. First off there’s the latest Moodymann mini-album, Anotha Black Sunday, once again released under the Moody alias. It’s not as experimental as Det.Riot 67, but is a better album overall…

Local pride
Just a few words on my opinion of what’s going on in Ireland at the moment. I had intended on writing something like this for a while now, but I guess, given it was Paddy’s Day this week, that now is an appropriate time to post it. Things seem to be quite healthy regarding Irish…

Quite Simply, One of My Favorite Sets Ever
Early on in our site’s existence, I made a post about a house mix from a Pittsburgh legend Trevor Combee, better known as The Instigator. In that post, I went on and on about this ridiculous set he played at a party my friends and I threw back in December ’99. I will now cheekily…
