His “Black Tekno” mix has been a bit of a hit for us, so we have one more little tidbit lined up from the man like Noleian Reusse. This one was online a while back, but it features some of my all time favorite dance songs edited up and mashed together into a hot half…
What’s going on?
I’m feeling quite far removed from what is going on in House and Techno at the moment. All of my recent, admittedly limited, buying has been on the leftfield of Disco and there hasn’t been a huge amount of House or Techno that has really excited me for a good while. One of the big…
Listening
I’ve finally got round to uploading a couple of mixes that a few people on the disception forum have been asking for: january05 January05 seems to be alot of people’s favorite mix of mine. It’s a long one – 3 hours, but goes all the way from Mos Def and Q-Tip to Shake and Juan…
Uncompromised
I picked up New Amerykah: Part One (4th World War),the new album by Erykah Badu, the other day and I am really feeling it. I’ve had the 12″ for “Honey” for a while now, and while I love it (especially the video, it’s like she made it just for vinyl heads!) it was definitely more…
Guest Mix: Richard Carnage of TAPE
The ISM Mix Machine has been in high gear all year, and today we hit you with yet another dope selection. This one is by our man Richard Carnage over at the TAPE blog, whose coverage of techno, house and nu-disco (check their detailed “Top 100(!) of 2007” post!) make them a favorite of mine…
Deep Soulful Mix
The idea for this mix has been floating around inside my head for a good long while now. I wanted to have something more akin to a mixtape than a deejay mix for bedroom purposes, both sleeping and otherwise. Don’t expect much in the way of mixing, I mostly just segued between jams in the…
platinum gold
Pauly Martin (anagram), Platinumray is one of Dublin’s most underrated DJs. His party style DJing is one of playfulness, mixing different flavours of dance and electronic sounds. Although never afraid to get abstract and wonky (and he is definitely wonky – but in a good way, wonkiness is closer to goodliness) with his selections, it…
Dick Measuring Contest
I know everyone has heard about it by now, but the auction for the stock from Record Rama (a Pittsburgh area record shop/personal collection) just ended today. I love records, but to be honest, I don’t love them that much. I take great pride in knowing basically every single record I own, to have that…
Am I Coming, or Going?
Man, life has been crazy the past month or so. School has been killing me, Pittsburgh has had some fantastically awesome bad weather (which I would actually like if I could miss school ever and have that be alright), and the record store I work at just moved locations which meant much heavy lifting and…
Guest Mix: Noleian Reusse – Black Tekno Vol. 2
Here we go with the ISM exclusive second installment of Noleian Reusse’s Black Tekno mix. This mix was recorded live in January, and it features more of the same kind of stuff that made Vol. 1 so popular. Noleian has politely declined the requests for a tracklist (he kicks it old school like that), but…
