So happy the boys from Africa Hitech decided to share this with the people. They just got done with their North American SUREFIRE Sound tour that saw them kill the US and Canada along with guests like Sepalcure, Distal and the homeboy Dibia$e. I had the pleasure to play with …
Pearson Sound / Ramadanman “BBC Radio 1 Essential Mix”
Myself and Guilty had the pleasure of playing with David aka Pearson Sound / Ramadanman last spring in Montreal and it was great to witness a guy that’s as interesting behind the decks and he is behind the production board. And lord knows he’s one of the dopest producers of …
Future Classic: Zomby “Nothing” EP
I am huge Zomby fan but I was (just) a bit disappointed with this years “Dedication” LP, a little bit too heavy on the crazy arpeggiators for my taste. But you know, now that I think about it; the record was pretty damn strong. (Haha, ok this post makes no …
Future Classic: A Made Up Sound “Take The Plunge” (AMS 005)
If you’re not already familiar with Dave Huismans’ work, the man behind broken-beat moniker 2562 and dub techno alias A Made up Sound, you have a lot of catching up to do. Fresh off the release of his THIRD full length album as 2562 “Fever”, Huismans’ creative flow cannot be …

Future Classic: Mosca “The Wavey EP” (3024 Records)
Pretty dazzling EP from Mosca who is quickly becoming everyone’s IT producer in 2011! Deadly modern techno from one of the best! Dom Perignon’, a cavernous roller with a gravity inverting bass drum and dub-infused atmospherics – a nice locked-in groove. ‘Orange Jack’ , is a deep skeletal booty bass …

T Williams – FACT Mix #294
When I come across an all vinyl mix, the likelihood of me listening to it goes up by 100%. The fact that this one comes from UK underground guru T Williams made it a no brainer. And this one is reFRESHing. Navigating through classic house, broken-beat future jazz, and UK …
King Midas Sound – Documentary (Parts 1 & 2)
Interesting mini doc on King Midas Sound, a great three piece collective that I had the pleasure to interview 2 years ago. (link to the interview) “On KMS’ new record called “Without You”, Kevin Martin (aka The Bug) takes the art of versioning seriously, hence this whole album of King …
