Mathematics Recordings has been busy the last few years issuing new material from some of the old school Chicago house originators, remixing and reissuing classic jams, and banging out some new jacking tunes by current Chicago cats. One of those new producers is Noleian Reusse, who releases tunes on Mathematics and Crème Organization with Jamal…
Mo’ Records and Other Shit, Too
It’s been a while since I talked about new records on here, but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been getting plenty of them! In actuality, I’ve been getting a bunch of nice things and just haven’t been writing about them due to my temporary craziness (which has been eradicated by my decision not to write…
Into the Mind of Nubian Mindz
Colin Lindo, aka Alpha Omega and Nubian Mindz, is an electronic music veteran who can turn his hand to many genres and makes music that didn’t easily fit into specific genre definitions (we like that here). He has recorded for legendary jungle label Reinforced and his New World Chaos album on Archive is an underrated…
Ron Murphy (NSC) R.I.P.
Ron Murphy, the mastering engineer at NSC and a true legend in Detroit techno and house passed away today.

Another One Bites the Dust
Word on the street is that Syntax Music, a longtime dance distributor in the US, is going under. This is of course in addition to the closing of Watts and Nemesis over the past few years. Anyone who spent lots of time in dance record shops in the 90’s and 00’s should know these names,…

Neglect
My contribution to this blog has been a bit lacking so far to say the least. I’ve been telling myself that this has been down to a new job and working away alot, but I’ve since realised that it’s also partly down to feeling like I’d hit some kind of wall with my record collection….
Enjoy Your Life (Sunday Session)
I often like to have a mix session on a lazy Sunday afternoon. It’s usually just playing a bunch of tunes I like and messing about with a few things rather than a properly programmed set, but this time I thought I’d put a bit more effort in and record the results. It’s a mix…
2007 Year In Review
For me, 2007 ends about three blocks from where it began. Fortunately, those three blocks were the three blocks to the ocean. Looking out of your bedroom window and seeing the ocean right fucking there is what’s up. Big ups to the Baltimore crew for the hookup, it’s always a good time chilling with those…
