soHo808 – Get Up Disco
I’ve been a fan of the Dikso label for a while now (I say you can’t argue with a label that can count Ooft!, Duff Disco, Larse and New Yorks soHo808 amongst their artists), and i love that they’ve somehow managed to toe the line between cheesy and cool with a [...]
Polica – Lay Your Cards Out
Tracks, artists and music generally are funny things. Two tracks can be so similar, but, one you love and one you may hate. Same with bands and also with people within bands. Polica are basically key people from the Gayngs collective (25 musicians strong) who released the album Relayted in [...]
Rainstick Orchestra – Trick
No messing about today, I've gone for one of my favourite ever tracks, Rainstick Orchestra's – Trick. From the 2005 album The Floating Glass Key in the Sky on Ninja Tune, it's a perfect combination of Electronica and traditional instruments spread over 5 minutes of mellow jazz tinged rhythms. Melody is [...]
Ohmega Watts – No Delay feat Surreal of the Sound
Hip Hop can be quite a subjective genre. It means a lot of different thing to many different people, and it has a multitude of genres within the catch all of Hip Hop. For me it’s never been about the money crazy Hip Pop that dominates the charts and mid range [...]
Art Department – Vampire Nightclub feat Seth Troxler
I’ve been revisiting the Art Department album of late, and I’ve been checking it mainly for the track Vampire Nightclub feat Seth Troxler. Even though the album is quite old, coming up a year now I think, it’s still an incredible slice of deep-techhouse, and sounds as fresh now as it [...]
Traffic – Feelin’ Alright
Sometimes there are tracks or bands that, if you are into music, you should know but for some reason have escaped you all these years. One day you hear one, innocently ask what it is and get a look of disbelief from everyone in the room (happens to me [...]
Tycho – Dive
Chillwave is a really annoying term. There I've said it, and now that is out of the way I can concentrate on what has been one of my favourite tracks of the last few months, Tycho -Dive. If you have been following the blog then you'll know I've already touched on [...]
Benoit & Sergio – Everybody
Philly is a tough track to follow, and I sadly don’t have any legendary stories to go with my choice for today. The one thing I will say is it makes me grin from ear to ear every single time I listen to it, and it even makes my 19 month [...]
DJ T – Philly
So today I am going to do it a little differently. As many people say, the great thing about music is that it can be the soundtrack to many things in your life; walking to work, travelling, going out. I love the way that tracks can stay with you through [...]
Shigeto – Field Trip
Very hard choice of what to blog today as my play list threw up some cracking tunes, but i settled on something new to my collection in Zach Saginaw's "Shigeto" project and the track Field Trip from the Lineage album on Ghostly International. The music is melodic with both western and eastern [...]
