Shed uncovers the intricate world of techno

I kind of disagree with the write-up for this podcast which comes courtesy of our friends over at XLR8R. Whilst Shed’s podcast for the mag is undeniably ‘banging’ in the warehouse sense of the term, he spends a fair degree of time playing around with higher frequencies and using the bass more as a point [...]

Oddities and escapades vol 2

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 [...]

Oddities and escapades vol 1

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 [...]

Jamie who?

Why is everyone I listen to at the moment called Jamie? It’s absurd. Favourite Jamie: Lidell. Is this guy getting the recognition he deserves or have I just not been paying attention (more likely)? Favourite track: Burial’s version of Wayfaring stranger is strangely addictive. Favourite album: James Blake. Funnily enough I don’t listen to it [...]

Baobinga in the mix for Pitchfork

Paving the way for the upcoming album ‘Joint Ventures’, Baobinga has thrown together this mix tracing a line from sample-laden acid house of 20 years ago to the jump-up sample-laden dubstep for which the Bristol native is typically known. If you’re looking for nostalgia, or an education on the history of dance music rhythms, or [...]

Best of 2010

Finally. Time to get this out before another year passes. Some of the tracks appeared way before 2010, but all rocked my boat over that 12 month chunk. Enjoy. Space Bass (Jamie xx’s remix of The xx) – The xx Running Up That Hill (12″ Mix) – Kate Bush Paris Is For Lovers – Fet [...]

The end of the beginning

Quite a year. At least that’s the feeling from behind this laptop. Nine+ months of expectation led to the fruitful delivery of what is now a wonderful smiling bundle of puke and poop. I can safely say I’m having a time like no other in my life. Other new adventures this year include a foray [...]

Seasons’s greetings

I’m always surprised at how quickly Christmas is over, so I’ve decided to start early this year. On behalf of Cybersanta, here is a collection of Norwegian nutter Bjørn Torske’s own brand of dub-house-electronica, from the last 10 years, niftily compiled by Paris DJs (http://www.parisdjs.com). Ho ho.

endless pregnant pause

and so it begins. a right of passage. join the club. the 9th full moon has passed. in folklore it unleashes the sunshine. sunshine is coming. starting off with a sprinkling of brazilian angel dust in the shape of murucututu (thanks, louise!) before vitalic’s poisin lips tears in. sorry about that. felt like getting this [...]
