Marc Kinchen aka MK aka 4th Measure Men etc etc was one of the most influential players in the house scene between the early to late 90’s. Despite this it surprises me just how many people have never heard of him. Best known under his MK guise, Marc’s own music & many remixes were highly respected right across the board. so much [...]

Tony Lionni is a relatively new name to me. He recently caught my attention with his “Papaia” EP that dropped on the Versatile label last month. Two quality deep house tracks that take in a quite progressive style. In the same category of some of Âme’s music, deep & underground but will work [...]

It would take you to that place that only good music can do. For a moment everything was [...]

Carl Craig - Throw [Studio !K7, 2008] (d/l)
I’ve liked Carl Craig since the day I first heard him. To see him live yesterday however… well, suffice to say I wasn’t ready for the onslaught. After facing the massive queue to get in, with a weak following of friends (in fact only 1 person went with [...]
