les frenchies adore le hip hop. and i do too.
Latest selection of audio slices that are grabbing my goat right now. Some of these tracks have been around for a while (Alexandroid, RA the Rugged Man and Snowboy – actually one of the first albums I owned) mixed up with a bunch of newer numbers. Given that US Thanksgiving has just passed, I might [...]

here it is. after some time in the making and plenty of tweaking. some old, some new, some newly discovered. Shiela Chandra – Ever So Lonely ‘the ocean refuses no river’ love the line, not quite sure what the hell sheila chandra is on about. too much time on the ashram munching space cakes, if [...]

It’s refreshing to know that the guy that remixed Chaka Khan and Prince to such great effect back in day is still around. It’s refreshing to hear uplifting house music verging on disco still has a place in the world. It’s refreshing to feel the glow of early-evening spring-time. It’s refreshing to know that you [...]

sultry and petulant: the bay area, brian wilson from the giants, fall season, half the candidates in the US gubernatorial contest, and to round it off, this classy slice of house music from bournemouth’s rich gilfedder. i normally sit on the fence around the whole ‘producer as dj’ argument, but rich’s blending, which maintains cohesion [...]

Well, one day we’ll be back in the sizzling hot sun of summer – stoop parties, hoards at every ice cream parlor, hanging out in parks with boom boxes blaring a boisterous roughneck soundtrack. Well, here in SF we’re still not quite there yet, but let’s start getting in the mood. I originally posted part [...]

I’ve had this category called ‘all over the place’ on this blog for a while… finally I’ve found the perfect subject matter. Last night at Benders for the opening of Noisepop, our man Har Mar was not just ‘all over the place’, but quite simply all in our face (one of our friends narrowly missed [...]
We start in rock fringes with raw fuzzed out guitar chords leading to Nick Cave’s bastard punk croonings. Before we know it, we’re up to our ears in fringe dance, or as the man Forrest puts it: “it’s like dubstep finally embraced it’s suburban IDM roots and the result is a freedom of sound that [...]

Don’t know too much about this guy other than those peeps at Phase02 have been plugging him. Apparently he’s the ripe old age of 16 but packs a rich heritage, having Detroit roots. Already his mixing shows maturity well beyond his years. Here’s a tracklisting or check out more information on Darling Farah.
