The Random Mix With Craig Gordon

This should be classed more of a journey than a mix always keeping the listener on their toes (how it should be) Craig goes about things very well indeed.



Substance - Relish (Shed Remix)

By Joe • Jul 2nd, 2008 • Category: Featured Story, Music, Single/EP Reviews

Shed’s remix is a real beauty he slows things down and adds a delightful shuffled percussion on top of what is already an insatiable groove. Moving along smooth and seductively his remix really does creep up on you it’s more of a raw groove, quite basic but with an enormous amount of dance floor power.That kick drum works really well & has a slightly warm feel. And when put next to that micro percussion it really sets the track of well.



New Wave mix by John Diaz

By Joel • Jun 27th, 2008 • Category: Featured Story, Mixes, Music, Rewound Circuits

CBS.nu - The Cybernetic Broadcasting System is a place full of amazing people and music. It was there that I found this freaky and stunning New Wave mix by John Diaz (myspace). No track-listing. It’s 1h19m of 80s cheese-tronic synth music. Nothing particularly interesting about that in itself usually. The difference is that this [...]

English electric - Auto beam EP

By Joel • Jun 23rd, 2008 • Category: Featured Story, Music, Single/EP Reviews

Unknown to me, English electric not quite properly introduce themselves with a stunning EP on Mighty Robot. My problem is that I still have no idea who they/he/she/it are/is.
