One of my favorite things to do when it’s sunny is to hang out in some nice park, boombox ready and blastin’, a cold beer in the hand. Just hanging out with good mates. At times like this I usually opt not to play techno. The lounging needs a proper fitting soundtrack and electronic downtempo [...]
Sety is the man behind the ever so slick and always on form French house and techno label Circus Company. Many of you may not have heard of him before as its been a good four years since his last release, but as they say a fine wine matures with age and i think it goes without saying this is one of the finest full bodied releases your going to hear in a long time.
My top ten records from May 2008.
One of my favourite summer records from the last few years has to be the “Porcupine” by Martin Buttrich & Loco Dice under a guise as “Latex” which was released on [Rebelone] the limited edition label from Crosstown Rebels.
The second record from the Oslo sister label (Love Letters From Oslo) sees a split release featuring Markus Fix & the Italian house duo Minimono.
Deep houser, Nick Curly brings the goods to the table with a solid track from himself and a follow up remix from Chilean house wizard Pier Bucci.
Foals are the latest band to take the UK by storm with very accessible cross over “dance” sound this group of lads from Oxford are destined to be the next big indie/ dance crossover.
Okay, new mix from myself. I won’t lie, it was a while since i did this so the oucome is not technically very impressive. I am however very happy with how the tunes were laid out and the weirdness to the mix. Starting out blasphemy-style right away by fucking with Technicolor together with some crazy [...]
The Moles remix of “Playing For Keeps” is a wierd but wonderful trip through house, techno and even a bit of disco & filtered house.
So in the penultimate playlist of the Saying Hello To Summer compilation i continue sharing some of my favourite tried and tested summer jams. Hopefully it will introduce some to music they might have missed, or maybe jog a few memories of those who are keen music heads. Either way i think you will agree this is quality music that needs to be heard.
The Per Eckbo Orchestra is a collaboration between Guillaume Coutu Dumont and Federico Molinari. Right from the word go you know it’s going to be something a bit special & it doesn’t disappoint
Chord Tracking is a quality modern house cut that takes you on an 11 minute journey through deep Chicago house esque drums,vibrant loose chord stabs and an all over very good piece of house music.
It’s extremely hard to catch all the good releases being poured out by all the various electronic music producers around the globe. New labels and artists are popping up all the time, always new stuff to discover. Grindvik’s Score For Direction was released in february this year and I haven’t heard it until now. The [...]
Friend of the blog, Craig Gordon has sent us his latest mix & i must say it’s really good. Just what you need as summer is nearly upon us. This is an expertly crafted & quite emotional mix, taking you on a roller coaster of emotions through sublime vocals, cool edgy house music & some straight up techno. Just what the doctor ordered.
Man with a thousand pseudonyms, Cari Lekebusch drops a new twelve on Harthouse. This time under his Braincell alias, and the release is dubbed Absorb. No one should be unaware of Lekebusch and his extensive background in electronic music producing. He’s been at it a long time and still his stuff makes a splash. What [...]
